HERZLIYA, Israel, Nov. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Playtika Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: PLTK) today released financial results for its third quarter for the period ending September 30, 2025.

Financial Highlights

“As we close 2025, Playtika continues to execute with focus and discipline,” said Robert Antokol, Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered another record in direct-to-consumer revenue, with broad-based contribution from Bingo Blitz, June’s Journey, Solitaire Grand Harvest, and our SuperPlay portfolio. Our strategy to deepen player relationships, grow DTC mix, and reallocate resources toward highest return opportunities is strengthening our portfolio and positioning us to enhance long-term cash generation.”

“Our third-quarter results highlight the leverage in our model,” said Craig Abrahams, President and Chief Financial Officer.  “A growing direct-to-consumer mix is protecting margins, and SuperPlay’s strong performance validates our acquisition strategy.  We are investing with discipline in our pipeline and platform capabilities while executing a planed step-down in marketing, and we remain on track to finish the year within our guidance.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be construed as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance, nor as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Our Credit Agreement defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization expense, (v) impairment charges, (vi) stock-based compensation, (vii) contingent consideration, (viii) acquisition and related expenses, and (ix) certain other items. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues.

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income before (i) impairment charges, and (ii) contingent consideration.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income as calculated herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies within the industry and are not determined in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or unexpected items.
