Welcome to DraftKings' [First Quarter] (sic) Second Quarter 2024 Earnings Call.
DraftKings beat earnings expectations and narrowly missed Wall Street's sales target in Q2. Even though the company raised its full-year sales target, it significantly reduced its adjusted EBITDA forecast.
DraftKings reported Q2 earnings in line with expectations, growing well and expanding profitability through scaling operations. The 2024 outlook was revised into more aggressive revenue growth but lower adjusted EBITDA with multiple underlying factors under the change. The company continues improving its underlying financials from the incredibly high CAC in prior years, and is well on track to achieve its longer-term targets.
DraftKings is planning a tax on consumers in states with the highest sports betting tax rates, as the company looks to boost profit. Starting next year it will implement a gaming surcharge on winning bets in states with multiple betting operators and where the tax rate is above 20%.
