Flutter nudges up guidance on growth outside booming US market

Flutter, the world's largest online betting company, nudged up its full-year guidance for the second successive quarter on Tuesday after its non-U.S. brands drove better-than-expected third-quarter revenue growth. While Flutter's growth has been transformed by a gambling boom in the nascent U.S. market, where its FanDuel unit is the market leader, core profit at its more established brands in Britain, Europe and Australia jumped by 24% to $392 million in the quarter. That helped push up total adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation 74% to $450 million, including a $58 million profit in the U.S., versus an investment-driven $55 million loss in the third quarter last year.
