Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures provided in this press release.

• “Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-IFRS financial measure that represents earnings for the period from continuing operations adjusted for finance income and finance costs, income tax expense or benefit, depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of capitalized sport rights licenses), foreign currency gains or losses, and other items that are not related to the Company’s revenue-generating operations such as share-based compensation. Other costs includes non-recurring items not related to the Company’s revenue-generating operations such as management restructuring costs, non-routine litigation, and transaction-related costs.

• License fees relating to sport rights are a key component of how we generate revenue and one of our main operating expenses. Only licenses that meet the recognition criteria of IAS 38 are capitalized. The primary distinction for whether a license is capitalized or not capitalized is the contracted length of the applicable license. Therefore, the type of license we enter into can have a significant impact on our results of operations depending on whether we are able to capitalize the relevant license. As such, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA reflects the full costs of our sport right’s licenses. Management believes that, by including amortization of sport rights in its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, the result is a financial metric that is both more meaningful and comparable for management and our investors while also being more indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

  We present Adjusted EBITDA because management believes that some items excluded are not representative of our ongoing business and this information is relevant in evaluating the results relative to other entities that operate in the same industry. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors for evaluating Sportradar’s operating performance against competitors, which commonly disclose similar performance measures. However, Sportradar’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled performance measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for any IFRS financial measure.

  Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA include significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for, profit for the period, revenue or other financial statement data presented in our consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our IFRS financial results and using Adjusted EBITDA only as a supplemental measure.

  While the Company has previously disclosed that it is unable to reconcile Adjusted EBITDA on a forward-looking basis due to the inability to predict certain IFRS amounts, the preliminary results provided herein relate to a recently completed quarter and are based on available internal estimates. As such, the Company is able to provide an estimated reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure, profit for the period, which remains subject to finalization of the financial results for the period presented.
