Adjusted EBITDA also saw a positive shift, turning from a loss of $221.6 million in Q1 2023 to a profit of $22.4 million in Q1 2024. The growth in revenue is primarily attributed to the strong performance of DraftKings' Sportsbook and iGaming product offerings, bolstered by effective customer acquisition and retention strategies, as well as the successful expansion into new jurisdictions. The company's Monthly Unique Payers (MUPs) and Average Revenue per MUP (ARPMUP) both increased, indicating a robust customer base and improved monetization of their products. Despite facing an ongoing audit by the Internal Revenue Service and potential litigation risks, DraftKings remains optimistic about its financial condition, although it acknowledges that adverse outcomes could materially impact its operations for any particular period. Looking ahead, DraftKings is committed to investing in product offerings and technology, expanding into new jurisdictions, and improving profitability through efficient customer acquisition and retention. The company's scalable technology and strategic investments are expected to support long-term growth and profitability.
