To Our Shareholders: DraftKings set records for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA 1 in the second quarter, as revenue growth accelerated to 37% year-over-year. We are pleased to be maintaining our fiscal year 2025 guidance, with revenue expected to be closer to the high end of our range, as strong underlying momentum in the business and sportsbook -friendly outcomes in the second quarter position us to absorb an exciting new state launch. There are five key points that we are sharing today: • First, we are in the early innings of Adjusted EBITDA growth. Product enhancements are driving strong revenue growth, while prudent cost discipline and efficiency initiatives across the organization are delivering meaningful Adjusted EBITDA Margin expansion. Our second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was over $300 million and double our prior record. Looking ahead, we have conviction in our profitability expanding further as we drive towards our 30% Adjusted EBITDA Margin target over time. • Second, DraftKings is positioned for success this fall for the upcoming NFL and NBA seasons. We continue to innovate our No. 1 rated Sportsbook product, delivering an experience that moves uniquely at the speed of sports. This manifests in a best-in-class live betting product, along with hyper-flexible merchandising and social features that allow customers to engage with the biggest sports narratives as they unfold in real time. • Third, sport outcomes tend to normalize over the long term but typically benefit either the sportsbook or our customers in the short term. In May and June combined, sport outcomes benefited the Company and added $110 million to our revenue. • Fourth, we continue to monitor events surrounding federally-regulated Prediction Markets and are actively exploring ways to enhance shareholder value through this opportunity. As always, we value our relationships with both industry stakeholders and policy makers and will work collaboratively as we evaluate next steps. • Fifth, we continue to allocate capital to target the highest risk -adjusted returns and maximize shareholder returns over the long-term. In the first two quarters of this year, we repurchased 6.5 million shares through our stock repurchase program while continuing to invest in organic growth initiatives. Second Quarter 2025 Results We achieved records for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA due to sportsbook-friendly outcomes and continued strength across our core value drivers. Revenue increased 37% year -over-year to $1,513 million and we generated $301 million of Adjusted EBITDA, representing a 20% Adjusted EBITDA Margin. 1 Non-GAAP financial measure.

Sportsbook net revenue increased 45% year-over-year and exceeded our expectations. Net revenue margin increased over 230 basis points year-over-year and set a Company record at 8.7%. • Sportsbook handle increased 6% year -over-year to $11.5 billion. Live betting handle increased 16% year - over-year as we continue to innovate and extend our lead in that category. • Structural Sportsbook hold percentage increased 100 basis points year -over-year to 10.9%. Our parlay handle mix increased 430 basis points year-over-year. Actual Sportsbook hold percentage exceeded 11.5% due to sportsbook-friendly outcomes. • Sportsbook promotional reinvestment improved nearly 600 basis points year -over-year as a percentage of gross gaming revenue due to sportsbook -friendly outcomes and optimized promotions. We also continue to benefit from existing customers accounting for a higher percentage of our overall customer mix. iGaming net revenue was consistent with our expectations and increased 23% year-over-year, driven by strong year- over-year growth in active iGaming customers. Gross gaming revenue from jackpots increased over 100% year-over- year, and we are continuing to see engagement with jackpots increase rapidly. Adjusted Gross Margin2 increased more than 400 basis points year-over-year to 48% as a result of higher Sportsbook hold percentage and improved promotional efficiency across our product offerings. Our operating expenses were consistent with our expectations. We continue to leverage our scale and brand to drive highly efficient customer acquisition. We are also continuing to exert cost discipline across the organization and utilize artificial intelligence and other new technologies to enhance our operational efficiency. Fiscal Year 2025 Guidance We are maintaining our revenue guidance range of $6.2 billion to $6.4 billion for fiscal year 2025. We are on track to deliver revenue closer to the high end of this range due to sportsbook -friendly outcomes in the second quarter as well as continuing strength across our core value drivers. We are maintaining our fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $800 million to $900 million. We are on track to deliver Adjusted EBITDA near the midpoint of this range. Compared to the guidance range that we provided last quarter, our expectation for higher annual revenue positions us to absorb our anticipated mobile Sportsbook launch in Missouri. The Company's guidance now includes anticipated financial impacts from DraftKings launching mobile sports betting in Missouri later this year. In addition, the Company's guidance now includes anticipated financial impacts from higher tax rates in New Jersey, Louisiana, and Illinois. 2 Non-GAAP financial measure.

The Company's guidance for fiscal year 2025 does not include the potential launch of a Prediction Markets offering.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This document includes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures that DraftKings uses to supplement its results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Free Cash Flow are useful in evaluating its operating performance, similar to measures reported by its publicly-listed U.S. competitors, and regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parti es in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Free Cash Flow are not intended to be substitutes for any GAAP financial measures, and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry. DraftKings defines and calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before the impact of interest income or expense (net), income tax provision or benefit, and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the following items: stock-based compensation; transaction-related costs; litigation, settlement and related costs; advocacy and other related legal expenses; gain or loss on remeasurement of warrant liabilities; and other non-recurring and non-operating costs or income, as described in the reconciliation below. DraftKings defines and calculates Adjusted Gross Margin as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by net revenue. DraftKings defines and calculates Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit before the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation. DraftKings defines and calculates Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share as diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders before the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets; stock -based compensation; transaction-related costs; litigation, settlement and related costs; advocacy and other related legal expenses; gain or loss on remeasurement of warrant liabilities; other non -recurring and non-operating costs or income; and the tax impact of adjusting items, as described in the reconciliation below. DraftKings defines and calculates Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less investments into property and equipment and capitalized software, adjusted for sources or uses of cash from changes in net working capital and sources or uses of cash from net cash interest, and less corporate cash taxes paid. DraftKings includes these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate the Company’s core operating performance and trends and to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Free Cash Flow exclude certain expenses that are required in accordance with GAAP because they are non-recurring items (for example, in the case of transaction-related costs and advocacy and other related legal expenses), non-cash expenditures (for example, in the case of amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, remeasurement of warrant liabilities and stock -based compensation), or non -operating items which are not related to the Company’s underlying business performance (for example, in the case of interest income and expense and litigation, settlement and related costs).

Information reconciling forward-looking fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Margin, and Free Cash Flow guidance to each of their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as applicable, is unavailable to DraftKings without unreasonable effort due to, among other things, certain items required for such reconciliations being outside of DraftKings’ control and/or not being able to be reasonably predicted. Preparation of such reconciliations would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income, and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with GAAP , and such forward -looking financial statements are un available to the Company without unreasonable effort. DraftKings provides a range for its Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Margin, and Free Cash Flow forecasts that it believes will be achieved; however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it can predict all of the components of the Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Margin or Free Cash Flow calculations. DraftKings provides a forecast for Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow, because it believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gro ss Margin and Free Cash Flow, when viewed with DraftKings’ results calculated in accordance with GAAP , provide useful information for the reasons noted above. However, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow, are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), gross profit, or cash flow from operating activities or as indicators of operating performance or liquidity.
