The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) and the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 13, 2026 (the “2025 Annual Report”). Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that reflect future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements depend upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside of our control. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “forecast,” “propose” and similar expressions or the negative of these words, or statements of vision, strategy or outlook, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any events in the future as our business and operations are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and, consequently, our actual results may differ materially from those projected. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Report. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements, such as: •factors relating to our business, operations and financial performance, including: •our ability to develop and market new offerings, including prediction markets; •our ability to effectively compete in the global sports and gaming and emerging prediction markets industries; •our ability to successfully acquire and integrate new operations; •our ability to obtain and maintain licenses with gaming authorities; and •our inability to recognize deferred tax assets and tax loss carryforwards; •market and global conditions and economic factors beyond our control, as well as the potential impact of general economic conditions and the potential impact of new and existing laws, regulations or policies, including those related to tariffs, import/export or trade restrictions, volatile inflation and interest rates, on our liquidity, operations and personnel; •significant competition and competitive pressures from other companies worldwide in the industries in which we operate, including in the emerging prediction markets industry; •our ability to raise financing in the future; •the timing, amount or duration of the Company’s stock repurchase program; •our success in retaining or recruiting officers, key employees or directors; and •litigation and the ability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights. In addition to these risks, other factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report. Due to the uncertain nature of these factors, management cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any of these statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Report, except as required by applicable law. New factors may emerge, and it is not possible to predict all factors that may affect our business and prospects. 35 Website and Social Media Disclosure We disclose information about the Company, our business and other matters using our investor relations website (https://ir.aboutdraftkings.com) and may, from time to time, use our DraftKingsNews X account (@DraftKingsNews) to disclose such information.

Our Business We are a digital sports and gaming company. We provide users with online and retail sports betting (together, “Sportsbook”), online casino (“iGaming”), daily fantasy sports (“Fantasy”), digital lottery courier (“Lottery”), prediction markets (“Prediction Markets”), and other offerings. Our mission is to make life more exciting by responsibly creating the world’s favorite real-money games, betting experiences and event contracts trading. We accomplish this by creating an environment where our users can find enjoyment and fulfillment through Sportsbook, iGaming, Fantasy, Lottery and Prediction Markets, as well as our other offerings. We are also highly focused on our responsibility as a steward of gaming. Our ethics guide our decision making, with respect to both the tradition and integrity of sports and our investments in regulatory compliance and consumer protection. We continue to make deliberate and substantial investments in support of our mission and long-term growth. For example, we have invested in our offerings and technology in order to continuously launch new offering innovations; improve marketing, merchandising, and operational efficiency through data science; and deliver a great user experience. We also make significant investments in sales and marketing and incentives to grow and retain our paid user base, including personalized offers and promotions, and promote brand awareness to attract the “skin-in-the-game” sports fan. Together, these investments have enabled us to create a leading offering built on scalable technology, while attracting a user base that has resulted in the rapid growth of our business. Our priorities are to (a) continue to invest in our offerings, (b) launch our offerings in new jurisdictions, (c) create replicable and predictable jurisdiction-level unit economics in Sportsbook and iGaming and (d) expand our offerings. When we launch our offerings in a new jurisdiction, we invest heavily in customer acquisition, user retention and cross-selling until the new jurisdiction provides a critical mass of users engaged across our offerings. Our current technology is highly scalable with relatively minimal incremental spend required to launch our offerings in new jurisdictions. We will continue to manage our fixed-cost base in conjunction with our market entry plans and focus our variable spend on marketing, user experience and support and regulatory compliance to become the offering of choice for users and to maintain favorable relationships with regulators. We also expect to improve our profitability over time as our revenue and gross profit expand as jurisdictions mature, and our variable marketing expenses and fixed costs stabilize or grow at a slower rate. Our path to increase profitability on an annual basis is based on the acceleration of positive contribution profit growth driven by increased revenue and gross profit generation from ongoing efficient customer acquisition, strong user retention, improved monetization from frequency and higher net revenue margin, as well as scale benefits from investments in our offerings and technology and general and administrative functions. In any given period, we expect to achieve profitability on a consolidated Adjusted EBITDA basis when total contribution profit exceeds the fixed costs of our business, which depends, in part, on the percentage of the U.S. adult population that has access to our offerings and the other factors summarized in the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Financial Highlights and Trends The following table sets forth a summary of our financial results for the periods indicated: 36 Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Revenue $ 1,443,235 $ 1,512,507 $ 3,089,311 $ 2,921,313 Net Income (Loss) (67,610) 157,936 (46,540) 124,072 Adjusted EBITDA (1) 114,597 300,644 282,450 403,273 Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share (0.14) 0.32 (0.09) 0.25 Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (0.14) 0.30 (0.09) 0.23 Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (2) 0.09 0.38 0.29 0.50 (1)Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “—Non-GAAP Information” below for additional information about this measure and a reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. (2)Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “—Non-GAAP Information” below for additional information about this measure and a reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Revenue decreased by $69.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to lower revenue from our Sportsbook and Prediction Markets offerings (together, “Sports”), driven by customer-friendly sports outcomes and increased promotional reinvestment associated with new customer acquisition on our Sports offering. Revenue increased by $168.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the strong performance of our Sports and iGaming offerings as a result of continued healthy user engagement and efficient acquisition of new customers. Key Performance Indicators Monthly Unique Payers (“MUPs”). We define MUPs as the number of unique paid users per month who had one or more real-money, paid engagements across one or more of our Sportsbook, iGaming, Fantasy, Lottery, Prediction Markets or other offerings via our technology. For reported periods longer than one month, we average the MUPs for the months in the reported period. Although the number of unique paid users includes those users that have participated in a real-money, paid engagement using only promotional incentives (which has not been a material number of users to date), which are fungible with other funds deposited into their wallets on our technology, it does not include users who have made a deposit but have not yet had a real-money, paid engagement. MUPs is a key indicator of the scale of our user base and awareness of our brand. We believe that year-over-year growth in MUPs is also generally indicative of the long-term revenue growth potential of our offerings, although MUPs in individual periods may be less indicative of our longer-term expectations. We expect the number of MUPs to grow as we attract, retain and re-engage users in new and existing jurisdictions and expand our offerings to appeal to a wider audience. The charts below present our average MUPs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026: 37 Average Revenue per MUP (“ARPMUP”). We define and calculate ARPMUP as the average monthly revenue for a reporting period divided by the average number of MUPs for the same period. ARPMUP is a key indicator of our ability to drive usage and monetization of our offerings. The charts below present our ARPMUP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026: 38 MUPs increased 0.3 million, or 9.1%, and 0.1 million, or 2.6%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to unique payer retention and new customer acquisition on our Sportsbook offering, primarily related to engagement on the NBA Finals and FIFA World Cup, and on our Prediction Markets offering, which launched in December 2025. ARPMUP decreased by $19, or 12.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to customer-friendly sports outcomes and new customer promotions impacting revenue on our Sportsbook and Prediction Markets offerings. ARPMUP increased $4, or 3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a higher percentage of customers engaging with multiple offerings resulting in higher revenue per customer. Sports Consumer Volume. We define Sports Consumer Volume as the total amount of settled customer wagers or trades on our Sportsbook and Prediction Markets offerings. Sports Consumer Volume excludes the volume from market makers on our 39 Prediction Markets offering. Sports Consumer Volume provides useful information to investors and management as it is a key indicator of customer engagement that is not impacted by variability of sports outcomes and provides important insight into underlying growth trends. We do not utilize volume information to track performance of our iGaming offering because iGaming is generally not subject to the same variability in outcomes. Sports Net Revenue Margin. We define Sports Net Revenue Margin as Sports revenue as a percentage of Sports Consumer Volume. Sports revenue includes revenue from our Sportsbook and Prediction Markets offerings. This provides useful information to investors and management as it is a key indicator in measuring the combined impact of our overall margin on our Sports offering and promotional reinvestment. The tables below presents our Sports Consumer Volume, Sports Net Revenue Margin, and revenue disaggregation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025: Three Months Ended June 30, (amounts in thousands) 2026 2025 $ Change % Change Sports Consumer Volume $ 13,140,417 $ 11,474,841 $ 1,665,576 14.5 % Sports Revenue 891,883 997,872 (105,989) (10.6) % Sports Net Revenue Margin 6.8% 8.7% N/A N/A Sports Revenue $ 891,883 $ 997,872 $ (105,989) (10.6) % iGaming Revenue 461,930 429,660 32,270 7.5 % Other Revenue 89,422 84,975 4,447 5.2 % Total Revenue $ 1,443,235 $ 1,512,507 $ (69,272) (4.6) % Six Months Ended June 30, (amounts in thousands) 2026 2025 $ Change % Change Sports Consumer Volume $ 27,342,115 $ 25,355,232 $ 1,986,883 7.8 % Sports Revenue 1,986,436 1,879,829 106,607 5.7 % Sports Net Revenue Margin 7.3% 7.4 % N/A N/A Sports Revenue $ 1,986,436 $ 1,879,829 $ 106,607 5.7 % iGaming Revenue 923,230 853,131 70,099 8.2 % Other Revenue 179,645 188,353 (8,708) (4.6) % Total Revenue $ 3,089,311 $ 2,921,313 $ 167,998 5.8 % Sports Consumer Volume increased by $1.7 billion, or 14.5%, to $13.1 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $11.5 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2025, and increased by $2.0 billion, or 7.8%, to $27.3 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $25.4 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2025. These increases are primarily due to an increase in MUPs due to unique payer retention and acquisition on our Sportsbook offering, primarily related to engagement on the NBA Finals and FIFA World Cup as well as new customer acquisition on our Prediction Markets offering, which launched in December 2025. Sports Net Revenue Margin decreased by 1.9 percentage points, to 6.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2026, from 8.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to customer-friendly sports outcomes and higher promotions associated with new customers on our Sportsbook offering and Prediction Markets offering. Sports Net Revenue Margin remained consistent at 7.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 7.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily driven by a higher hold percentage on our Sportsbook offering, offset by higher promotions related to customer acquisition. 40 iGaming revenue increased $32.3 million, or 7.5%, to $461.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $429.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, and increased by $70.1 million, or 8.2%, to $923.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $853.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase is primarily due to improved promotional reinvestment and an increase in MUPs for the iGaming offering. Other revenue increased $4.4 million, or 5.2%, to $89.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $85.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the increased revenues from the new Keno offering within the Lottery offering. Other revenue decreased $8.7 million, or 4.6%, to $179.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $188.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a reduction in Fantasy entry fees and lower Lottery revenue following our exit from the Texas market. Non-GAAP Information This Report includes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures that we use to supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share are useful in evaluating our operating performance, similar to measures reported by our publicly-listed U.S. competitors, and regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share are not intended to be substitutes for any U.S. GAAP financial measure. As calculated, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry. We define and calculate 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. We define and calculate Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share as diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders adjusted for the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets; discrete tax benefits attributed to acquisitions; 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. The weighted-average shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share are the GAAP weighted-average diluted shares reported in the consolidated financial statements and are not adjusted. We include non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to make decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share exclude certain expenses that are required in accordance with U.S. 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 depreciation and amortization, remeasurement of warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation), or non-operating items which are not related to our underlying business performance (for example, in the case of interest income and expense and litigation, settlement and related costs). 41 Adjusted EBITDA The table below presents our net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, reconciled to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (amounts in thousands) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net income (loss) $ (67,610) $ 157,936 $ (46,540) $ 124,072 Adjusted for: Depreciation and amortization (1) 80,342 65,299 152,003 135,415 Interest (income) expense, net 7,434 (665) 13,173 (5,060) Income tax (benefit) provision (1,797) 11,790 4,572 6,190 Stock-based compensation (2) 82,554 84,701 147,769 163,547 Transaction-related costs (3) — — — — Litigation, settlement, and related costs (4) — — — — Advocacy and other related legal expenses (5) 19,875 — 46,238 — Loss (gain) on remeasurement of warrant liabilities — 5,851 — 3,356 Other non-recurring costs and non-operating costs (income) (6) (6,201) (24,268) (34,765) (24,247) Adjusted EBITDA $ 114,597 $ 300,644 $ 282,450 $ 403,273 (1)The amounts include the amortization of acquired intangible assets of $37.6 million and $36.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $75.1 million and $79.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

(4)Primarily includes external legal costs related to litigation and litigation settlement costs deemed unrelated to our ordinary-course business operations. (5)Reflects non-recurring and non-ordinary course costs relating to advocacy efforts primarily in pursuit of legalization of DraftKings offerings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, this spend primarily relates to legislative efforts for legalizing iGaming, supporting a ballot measure for legalizing Sportsbook, and other advocacy activities related to certain states. Advocacy and legal expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business have not been adjusted in this measure. (6)Primarily includes the change in fair value of certain assets and liabilities, including contingent consideration, as well as our equity method share of investee’s gains and losses and other costs relating to non-recurring and non-operating items. 42 Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share The table below presents the Company’s Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share reconciled to its diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders $ (0.14) $ 0.30 $ (0.09) $ 0.23 Adjusted for: Amortization of acquired intangible assets (1) 0.08 0.07 0.15 0.15 Stock-based compensation (2) 0.17 0.16 0.30 0.31 Transaction-related costs (3) — — — — Litigation, settlement, and related costs (4) — — — — Advocacy and other related legal expenses (5) 0.04 — 0.09 — Loss (gain) on remeasurement of warrant liabilities — 0.00 — 0.00 Other non-recurring and non-operating costs (income) (0.01) (0.04) (0.05) (0.04) Tax impact of adjusting items (6) (0.05) (0.11) (0.10) (0.16) Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share* $ 0.09 $ 0.38 $ 0.29 $ 0.50 _____________ * Weighted average diluted number of shares used to calculate Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 496.1 million and 529.5 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 495.2 million and 529.6 million, respectively; totals may not add due to rounding. (1)The amounts include the amortization of acquired intangible assets of $37.6 million and $36.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $75.1 million and $79.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. (2)Reflects stock-based compensation expenses resulting from the issuance of awards under incentive plans. (3)Includes capital markets advisory, consulting, accounting and legal expenses related to the evaluation, negotiation, and consummation of transactions and offerings that are under consideration, pending, or completed, as well as integration costs related to acquisitions. (4)Primarily includes external legal costs related to litigation and litigation settlement costs deemed unrelated to our ordinary-course business operations. (5)Reflects non-recurring and non-ordinary course costs relating to advocacy efforts primarily in pursuit of legalization of DraftKings offerings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, this spend primarily relates to legislative efforts for legalizing iGaming, supporting a ballot measure for legalizing Sportsbook, and other advocacy activities related to certain states. Advocacy and legal expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business have not been adjusted in this measure. (6)Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the Company began applying an estimated non-GAAP effective tax rate, which was 23% in 2025 and is 28% as of the second quarter of 2026. The non-GAAP effective tax rate reflects the non-GAAP tax provision commensurate with the Company’s level of non-GAAP profitability, which was determined after adjusting for the non-GAAP adjustments presented above and excluding the impact of changes in the valuation allowance. 43 Results of Operations Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 The following table sets forth a summary of our consolidated results of operations for the interim periods indicated, and the changes between periods: Three Months Ended June 30, (amounts in thousands, except percentages) 2026 2025 $ Change % Change Revenue $ 1,443,235 $ 1,512,507 $ (69,272) (4.6) % Cost of revenue 891,782 854,559 37,223 4.4 % Sales and marketing 322,536 233,187 89,349 38.3 % Product and technology 127,649 108,417 19,232 17.7 % General and administrative 169,442 165,700 3,742 2.3 % Income (loss) from operations (68,174) 150,644 (218,818) (145.3) % Interest income (expense), net (7,434) 665 (8,099) n.m.

Revenue decreased by $69.3 million, or 4.6%, to $1,443.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $1,512.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to our Sports revenue, which decreased $106.0 million, or 10.6%, due to a reduction in our Sports Net Revenue Margin of 1.9 percentage points primarily due to customer-friendly sports outcomes and higher promotions associated with new customers on our Sportsbook and Prediction Markets offerings. The decrease was partially offset by our iGaming offering, which increased $32.3 million, or 7.5%, due to improved promotional reinvestment. Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue increased $37.2 million, or 4.4%, to $891.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $854.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our variable expenses, such as gaming taxes and payment processing fees, which increased $17.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The remaining increase was primarily attributable to an increase in amortization of intangible assets of $14.5 million. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased by 5.3 percentage points to 61.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to 56.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily attributable to an increase in gaming taxes due to tax rate increases in certain states. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense increased $89.3 million, or 38.3%, to $322.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $233.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher external marketing costs, including increased customer acquisition costs associated with the FIFA World Cup, the NBA Playoffs, and the launch of our Super App and Prediction Markets offering. Product and Technology. Product and technology expense increased $19.2 million, or 17.7%, to $127.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $108.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher software and licensing costs and increased employee compensation, including stock-based compensation, in our product and engineering departments. General and Administrative. General and administrative expense increased by $3.7 million, or 2.3%, to $169.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $165.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $19.9 million increase in advocacy and other related legal expenses recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2026, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense of $9.5 million. 44 Interest Income (Expense), net. We recorded net interest expense of $7.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.7 million of net interest income in the three months ended June 30, 2025. This fluctuation was primarily due to decreased interest income as a result of the inclusion of interest income on customer deposits in revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2026 rather than in interest income in the three months ended June 30, 2025. Gain (Loss) on Remeasurement of Warrant Liabilities. As all warrants were exercised or expired as of December 31, 2025, there was no remeasurement of warrant liabilities in the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a $5.9 million loss in the three months ended June 30, 2025. Other Gain (Loss), net. We recorded a net gain of $3.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to a $24.5 million gain in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to larger gains on the revaluation of contingent consideration for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2026. Income Tax Provision (Benefit). We recorded an income tax benefit of $1.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to an income tax expense of $11.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. Although we have a cumulative three year loss position, based on our recent financial performance and our future projections, we could record a reversal of all, or a portion of, the valuation allowance associated with U.S. deferred tax assets in future periods. However, any such change is subject to actual performance and other considerations that may present positive or negative evidence at the time of the assessment. Net Income (Loss). Net income decreased by $225.5 million to a net loss of $67.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to a net income of $157.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, for the reasons discussed above. Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Six Months Ended June 30, (amounts in thousands, except percentages) 2026 2025 $ Change % Change Revenue $ 3,089,311 $ 2,921,313 $ 167,998 5.8 % Cost of revenue 1,841,167 1,698,362 142,805 8.4 % Sales and marketing 724,270 576,867 147,403 25.6 % Product and technology 250,825 211,677 39,148 18.5 % General and administrative 335,376 330,094 5,282 1.6 % Income (loss) from operations (62,327) 104,313 (166,640) (159.7) % Interest income (expense), net (13,173) 5,060 (18,233) n.m.

Revenue increased by $168.0 million, or 5.8%, to $3,089.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $2,921.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to our Sports revenue, which increased $106.6 million, or 5.7%, due to higher Sports Consumer Volume, primarily driven by an increase in MUPs due to unique payer retention and acquisition on our Sportsbook offering as well as new customer acquisition on our Prediction Markets offering, which launched in December 2025. Our iGaming offering also increased $70.1 million, or 8.2%, due to improved promotional reinvestment. Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue increased $142.8 million, or 8.4%, to $1,841.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $1,698.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our variable expenses, such as gaming taxes and platform costs, which increased $103.8 million and $17.8 million, respectively. The remaining increase was primarily attributable to an increase in amortization of intangible assets of $15.4 million. 45 Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased by 1.5 percentage points to 59.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to 58.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily attributable to an increase in promotional reinvestment around new customer acquisition for our Sportsbook and Prediction Markets offerings. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense increased $147.4 million, or 25.6%, to $724.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $576.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher external marketing costs, including increased customer acquisition costs associated with the Super Bowl, FIFA World Cup, the NBA Playoffs, the recent launches in Missouri and Arkansas, and the recent launch of our Prediction Markets offering. Product and Technology. Product and technology expense increased $39.1 million, or 18.5%, to $250.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $211.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to increased compensation, including stock-based compensation, for employees in our product and engineering departments. General and Administrative. General and administrative expense increased by $5.3 million, or 1.6%, to $335.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $330.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $46.2 million increase in advocacy and other related legal expenses, partially offset by a $38.0 million decrease in compensation expense, of which $32.0 million related to stock-based compensation. Interest Income (Expense), net. We recorded net interest expense of $13.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $5.1 million of net interest income in the six months ended June 30, 2025. This fluctuation was primarily due to increased interest expense as a result of the Term B Loan that was entered into in March 2025 and the inclusion of interest income on customer deposits in revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2026 rather than in interest income in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Gain (Loss) on Remeasurement of Warrant Liabilities. As all warrants were exercised or expired as of December 31, 2025, there was no remeasurement of warrant liabilities in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a $3.4 million loss in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Other Gain (Loss), net. We recorded a net gain of $26.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to a $24.5 million gain in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to larger gains on the revaluation of contingent consideration for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. Income Tax Provision (Benefit). We recorded an income tax expense of $4.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to an income tax expense of $6.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Although we have a cumulative three year loss position, based on our recent financial performance and our future projections, we could record a reversal of all, or a portion of, the valuation allowance associated with U.S. deferred tax assets in future periods. However, any such change is subject to actual performance and other considerations that may present positive or negative evidence at the time of the assessment. Net Income (Loss). Net income decreased by $170.6 million to a net loss of $46.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to a net income of $124.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, for the reasons discussed above. Liquidity and Capital Resources We had $983.9 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026 (excluding restricted cash and cash reserved for users, which we segregate on behalf of our paid users for all jurisdictions and offerings). We believe our cash on hand is sufficient to meet our current working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months. We will continue to evaluate our long-term operating performance and cash needs and believe we are well positioned to continue to fund the operations of our business long-term. Convertible Debt. In March 2021, we issued zero-coupon convertible senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1,265.0 million (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes mature on March 15, 2028, subject to earlier conversion, redemption or repurchase. In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes and the exercise of the option to purchase additional Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”). The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to DraftKings Inc.’s Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes. The net cost of $124.0 million incurred to enter into the Capped Call Transactions was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2026, the Convertible Notes, net of issuance costs, balance was $1,260.4 million. 46 Credit Facility. In November 2024, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with various financial institutions, as lenders, and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent, providing for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $500.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility provides for revolving loans, swing line borrowings and letters of credit and has a maturity date of November 7, 2029. As of June 30, 2026, $11.9 million in letters of credit were issued under the Revolving Credit Facility, with $488.1 million available for borrowing. Term B Loan. In March 2025, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a first amendment to the Credit Agreement, which provides for a new class of incremental term loans under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million (the “Term B Facility” and, such term loans, the “Term B Loan”). The Term B Facility requires principal payments in the amount of 1.00% per annum of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term B Loan payable in quarterly installments. The Term B Loan bears interest at the Company’s election at either (i) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.75% per annum, or (ii) in the case of ABR Term Loans, ABR plus an applicable margin of 0.75% per annum (with each of the capitalized terms used in clauses (i) and (ii) as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of June 30, 2026, there was $592.5 million in aggregate principal amount of Term B Loan outstanding. Other Purchase Obligations. We have certain non-cancelable contracts with vendors, licensors and others requiring us to make future cash payments. As of June 30, 2026, these purchase obligations were $2.0 billion, with $0.3 billion payable in the remainder of 2026. Stock Repurchase Program. On July 30, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an aggregate of up to $1.0 billion of our Class A common stock through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. On November 6, 2025, our Board of Directors approved a $1.0 billion increase to our existing stock repurchase authorization, which brings the aggregate share repurchase authorization to $2.0 billion of our Class A common stock. We repurchased 2.3 million shares and 2.9 million shares for $55.6 million and $100.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. We repurchased 5.5 million shares and 6.5 million shares for $154.2 million and $242.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, we have purchased 22.7 million shares of Class A common stock for $773.8 million since the inception of the stock repurchase program. Cash Flows The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated: Six Months Ended June 30, (amounts in thousands) 2026 2025 Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ 63,001 $ 54,905 Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities (93,444) (74,278) Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities (186,644) 253,134 Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and cash reserved for users (217,087) 233,761 Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and cash reserved for users at beginning of period 1,604,595 1,330,193 Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and cash reserved for users at end of period $ 1,387,508 $ 1,563,954 Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $63.0 million, compared to $54.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily from a decline in net income (loss), net of non-cash items, of $189.0 million for reasons discussed in Results of Operations above, offset by $197.1 million decrease in cash used from changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily related to timing of player activity, impacting liabilities to users, as well as timing of vendor payments. Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $19.2 million to $93.4 million, compared to $74.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase of $14.7 million in cash paid for internally developed software costs and an increase of $4.7 million in cash paid for purchases of property and equipment. Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $186.6 million compared to $253.1 million net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by a reduction of $588.1 million of cash received from borrowing under the Term B Facility, partially offset by a reduction of 47 $88.5 million in treasury stock purchases under the Stock Repurchase Program, and a reduction of $58.4 million in cash paid for purchases of treasury stock for RSU withholding.
