"Revenue climbed 17% during the opening three months of 2026. Growth was supported by recent acquisitions in Italy and Brazil, continued strength in online casino gaming and more favorable sports betting results than the same stretch last year. Net income declined as the company absorbed higher financing expenses and integration costs related to recent deals."
"Flutter said Dan Taylor, who currently runs the international division, will become president of Flutter Entertainment in a newly created role that gives him oversight of FanDuel while keeping his existing responsibilities. FanDuel president Christian Genetski will now oversee the broader U.S. operation. The reorganization follows the departure of FanDuel CEO Amy Howe, who had led the sportsbook operator since 2021."
"Chief Executive Peter Jackson said the company believes the new structure will help Flutter respond faster as competition across U.S. sports betting continues to intensify. The US market, and FanDuel's leading position within it, represents one of the most significant growth opportunities in our industry, Jackson said. It is essential that we have the right structure and leadership in place to fully capitalize on it."
"Jackson said Taylor's experience scaling international operations made him "ideally suited" for the expanded role, while Genetski had been "instrumental" in building FanDuel into the market leader. Flutter has been trying to regain momentum at FanDuel's sportsbook business after customer activity weakened late last year."
