Additional financial metrics reflected positive trends, with EBITDA climbing by 20% to €27 million, while net profit surged by 55%, totaling €8.2 million.
A crucial aspect of this quarter’s success was the significant growth in revenue from North America, where earnings increased by 35% to €24.2 million, with revenue share income soaring by 49%.

The company recorded total deposits of €836 million, marking a substantial 17% increase compared to the previous year.
Jesper Søgaard, co-founder and co-CEO, expressed his satisfaction with the quarter's performance, stating, "Q2 was a strong quarter for Better Collective. We are particularly encouraged by the progress in North America, where growth was driven by revenue share income, talent-led media and prediction markets. The World Cup provided the expected boost to the quarter. With full-year guidance maintained, we remain focused on profitable growth, continued operating leverage and building an increasingly scalable and efficient Better Collective."
