In-Click Kim
CEO, Double Down Interactive

Thank you, Joe. Good afternoon, everyone. We are delighted to be with you today. to discuss our first quarter and full year 2025 results. Key highlights include continued year-over-year growth of SuperNation, the first full quarter contribution from WOW Games, the significant growth of our direct consumer revenue stream, and continued strong profitability from our business model. We continue to demonstrate our ability to deliver strong adjusted EBITDA and drive high levels of cash flow, fundamental factors that we believe will contribute to increase shareholder value. Let's start with the quarterly results. This afternoon, we reported first quarter consolidated revenue of $95.8 million up 17% year over year, and adjusted EBITDA of $40.6 million, up 16% year over year. In Q4, we again delivered on our operating priority to drive a high conversion of revenue to profit and cash flow. Net cash flow from operations was $42.6 million in the quarter, bringing the total for full year 2025 to $136.8 million. And we continue to deliver this profit and cash flow results as we invested in new player acquisition activities at SuperNation. Our social casino business continues to be the engine of profit and cash flow generation for the company. In the first quarter, social casino revenue grew 9% year-over-year to $79.7 million, driven by our first full quarter of contribution from WOW Games. WOW Games benefits from broad payer engagement, which, as you can see, is reflected in our strong Q4 total social casino payer conversion rate of 9.6%. This is up from a conversion rate of 6.9% in Q4, 2024. Conversely, Wild Games payers on average spend less than those from the traditional double-down social casino business, resulting in lower total social casino monthly average revenue per payer of $198 as compared to $282 in Q4, 2025. We've spent the last few months working closely with WOW Games and see operational and product synergies between it and our traditional Double Down social casino business. In addition, while the overall social casino market has growth challenges, we see growth potential outside the United States and look to further leverage the WOW Games acquisitions, particularly in Europe. As discussed in the past, we have been working hard to increase the direct-to-consumer or DTC elements of our social casino revenue. WoW Games benefits from a relatively large DTC component due to its strong web-based history. And mostly, importantly, we significantly ramped DTC purchases made in Double Down Casino in Q4. During the quarter, we launched product features and introduced purchase offers, which focused on DTC. As a result, DTC revenue exceeded 30% of our total social casino revenue in the first quarter. We plan to continue to optimize our social casino business to benefit from the DTC transition. and are focused on driving further growth of DTC revenue as a percentage of our overall social casino revenue in 2026. Turning to our iGaming business, SuperNation's Q4 2025 revenue was $16.1 million, up 78% year-over-year. For perspective, SuperNation's quarterly revenue run rate has more than doubled since Double Down closed this acquisition a little more than two years ago as we continue to make positive progress on acquiring new players while implementing product and operations improvements. From an innovation perspective, we fully launched our first iGaming casino title called Los Vegas in the UK market and are now working to optimize its marketing strategy and operations as we look to ramp its player base and bring the brand to other markets. You can see from our results that our prudent investments are continuing to provide growth opportunities and enhanced player engagement, resulting in strong profits and cash flow. We continue to demonstrate the ability to successfully integrate acquisitions while we innovate in our core business. Now I will turn it over to our CFO, Joe Sigrist, to walk us through our financials before providing my closing remarks. Joe?
