Here are the key takeaways from DoubleDown Interactive’s conference call:
- DoubleDown reported Q2 revenue of $94.3 million, up 11% year over year, while adjusted EBITDA rose 17% to $39.3 million and the margin expanded to 41.6%.
- Cash generation remained strong, with operating cash flow increasing 25% year over year to $24.6 million in the quarter and reaching $71 million for the first half; the company ended June with approximately $521.3 million in net cash.
- Direct-to-consumer sales reached a record 52% of social casino revenue, up from 44% in Q1 and just over 15% a year earlier, supporting profitability by reducing platform fees. Management said it expects further DTC growth through investments in owned channels, CRM, and payment infrastructure.
- SuprNation’s iGaming revenue grew 10% year over year to $17 million, but the higher U.K. gambling tax led the company to reduce player-acquisition spending and moderate sequential growth. Management said product, marketing, and expense adjustments have largely mitigated the tax impact and expects company-wide marketing spending to remain near its recent run rate.
- The special committee continues to evaluate DoubleU Games’ non-binding $11.25-per-ADS cash proposal to acquire unaffiliated shares, but management provided no update or expected timeline for a decision.
