Super Group Reports Strong Preliminary Financial Results for 2024
Super Group (SGHC) Limited (NYSE: SGHC) has recently shared its preliminary, unaudited performance results for the fourth quarter and the entire year of 2024. The Group, recognized as a significant player in the online sports betting and gaming sectors with Betway and Spin as its cornerstone brands, has made remarkable strides.
Impressive Fourth Quarter Performance
According to projections, the fourth quarter of 2024 marks a historic peak for the Group outside of U.S. markets, with total revenue reaching approximately €486 million. Adjusted EBITDA, a crucial performance indicator, is anticipated to fall between €125 million and €130 million. In particular, December set records for both Total Revenue and deposits, demonstrating the Group's exceptional growth.
Annual Revenue Growth Exceeds Expectations
For the overall year, Super Group expects to exceed its earlier guidance targets, forecasting total revenue around €1.66 billion and an Adjusted EBITDA surpassing €387 million—increasing more than 50% from the previous year. Such impressive figures underline the Group's robust operational strategies and market presence.
Record-Breaking Growth in Revenue and EBITDA
2024 has seen new records established for both total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Revenue is expected to grow significantly by about 18%, hitting the €1.66 billion mark. The adjusted EBITDA margin is set to exceed 23%, reflecting not only growth but also operational efficiency.
Strategic Investments in the U.S.
Super Group is also navigating its U.S. segment, which continues to break records. The month of October recorded unprecedented total revenue, and November and December followed suit with even higher levels. Anticipated investment into the U.S. business is around €11 million for Q4 alone, summing up to approximately €61 million for the entire year. As the focus continues to be solely on iGaming, this investment is expected to be less intense in the coming years.

We are carrying this momentum into 2025, paving the way for an even stronger performance. I extend my gratitude to our dedicated global team for their hard work."
