Betmakers Technology Group has reported adjusted EBITDA of $4.5 million for the fourth quarter of FY26, representing an 89 percent increase from the $2.4 million achieved in the same period last year. The result reflects a technology-driven operating model that is beginning to show meaningful operating leverage as the company scales, with the adjusted EBITDA margin expanding to 18.5 percent. Revenue grew 9.4 percent year on year to $24.2 million, a more modest pace than the profitability improvement, indicating the company is achieving exceptional cost control relative to its revenue growth trajectory.
The margin expansion reflects genuine cost discipline. Operating expenses declined year on year despite revenue growing 9.4 percent, explaining the outsized profitability improvement. The company attributes this to its technology-led efficiency approach, which it positions as delivering superior cost per bet to racing operators. The result includes LVDC operating costs, a business that was not present in the prior period, meaning underlying cost control in the core business is more pronounced than headline comparisons indicate. Capitalized staff costs rose from $1.3 million to $1.9 million, reflecting development investment flowing to the balance sheet rather than operating expense.
The profitability improvement has translated into strong cash generation. Operating cash flow for the quarter reached $3.2 million, consistent with the prior period, while unrestricted cash balances increased by $0.8 million to $15.6 million. The company notes that Q1 FY27 will include an annual minimum guarantee payment for New Jersey Fixed Odds operations, which may create a headwind to cash growth in the near term. Management flagged that the business continues to work toward consistent free cash flow generation as it scales, suggesting this metric may remain variable.
A notable development is the unlocking of a new gaming vertical through signed commercial agreements to offer parimutuel powered reveal games and content. The company describes this as leveraging its platform and racing expertise into a new revenue stream. Details on the scale or timing of this revenue contribution remain limited in the quarterly update, making it a key point to monitor as further guidance emerges.
