## Customers

Inspired sells primarily to gambling operators, lottery customers, aggregators, and leisure venue operators that want content, machines, and recurring service support. Its revenue depends on those customers' ability to attract and retain players, since many contracts are participation-based and tied to net win or gross gaming revenue.

- **Gaming operators** (primary) — Bookmakers, casinos, and gaming venues that buy virtual sports, terminals, and recurring gaming services to drive player engagement.
- **Online gaming aggregators** (primary) — Third-party platforms that distribute Inspired's Interactive content and pay participation-based fees tied to net win.
- **Lottery customers** (secondary) — State or national lottery operators that use scheduled virtual sports content and branded gaming products.
- **Leisure venue operators** (secondary) — Pubs, holiday parks, and amusement venues that buy or rent gaming machines and related services.

- Betting and gaming operators buying Virtual Sports and content
- Online aggregators and platform partners distributing Interactive games
- Lottery customers such as the Virginia Lottery
- Retail operators like William Hill needing terminal and content upgrades
- Leisure venues, pubs, and holiday parks using gaming machines

## Geography

Inspired's revenue is concentrated in the UK, with additional exposure to Greece, the U.S., and the rest of the world. The company says the majority of revenue and non-current assets are attributable to UK operations, so regulatory changes, customer concentration, and consumer activity in that market are especially important.

- **United Kingdom** (65%) — Three-month period ended March 31, 2025
- **Greece** (10%) — Three-month period ended March 31, 2025
- **United States** (11%) — Three-month period ended March 31, 2025
- **Rest of World** (14%) — Three-month period ended March 31, 2025

- UK is the largest revenue and asset base, making it the core market
- Greece is a meaningful secondary market for gaming service revenue
- U.S. exposure is growing through lottery and hybrid dealer partnerships
- Rest of world includes North America and other regulated gaming markets
- Geography matters because regulation and player activity vary by market

## Strategy

Inspired is focusing on recurring, participation-based revenue, deeper customer partnerships, and expansion of its digital and hybrid content footprint. Recent actions include new and extended partnerships, broader U.S. rollout of hybrid dealer content, and a shift in Leisure toward content and machine supply after asset sales and operating-model changes.

- **Expand recurring revenue mix** (short-term) — Participation and fixed-fee contracts improve visibility versus one-off hardware sales.
- **Scale Virtual Sports partnerships** (medium-term) — New operator and lottery partnerships broaden distribution and support market access.
- **Grow Interactive content footprint** (medium-term) — More customers and more live games increase monetization across aggregation platforms.
- **Optimize Leisure portfolio** (short-term) — Refocusing on content and machine supply can reduce complexity and improve economics.

- Grow recurring revenue through participation and fixed-fee contracts
- Expand Virtual Sports through new partnerships and retail rollouts
- Increase Interactive customer count and live game distribution
- Broaden North American hybrid dealer and lottery presence
- Refocus Leisure on content and machine supply after portfolio changes

## Risks

The business is exposed to customer concentration, regulatory change, and the need to keep games and platforms attractive to players. Because much of revenue is participation-based, weak player demand, operator underperformance, certification delays, or technology outages can quickly reduce revenue and margins.

- **Changing player preferences** [high] — Revenue depends on games remaining attractive versus other leisure options.
- **Customer ability to attract and retain players** [high] — Many contracts pay Inspired a share of customer gaming revenue or net win.
- **Regulatory certification and market access** [high] — Products must meet technical standards and approvals in each jurisdiction.
- **Technology and platform reliability** [high] — Outages, integration failures, or cyber incidents can interrupt customer operations.
- **Customer consolidation** [medium] — M&A among operators can reduce spend or increase bargaining power.

- Player preferences can shift away from current games and formats
- Customer underperformance reduces participation-based revenue
- Regulatory approvals and certifications can delay launches
- Platform outages or cybersecurity issues can disrupt service
- Customer consolidation can pressure pricing and renewals

## Accounting

Inspired's results are sensitive to revenue recognition judgments because contracts include participation, fixed-fee, product sales, and software/license arrangements recognized over different periods. Investors should also watch seasonality, goodwill impairment, and lease/accounting estimates, since the company has meaningful operating assets, long-lived software/intangibles, and a history of portfolio changes.

- **Revenue recognition by contract type** — Can shift revenue between quarters and change margin mix
- **Seasonality** — Makes quarterly comparability difficult
- **Goodwill impairment** — Could create non-cash charges if assumptions weaken
- **Lease and finance lease accounting** — Affects EBITDA-like metrics, depreciation, and financing cash flows

- Participation revenue is recognized over time based on customer net win
- Product sales can create quarter-to-quarter volatility in reported revenue
- Seasonality affects gaming machines and holiday park activity
- Goodwill impairment depends on reporting unit forecasts and valuation inputs
- Lease and finance lease accounting affects operating and financing cash flows
