Flutter had 14.38 million average monthly players in the quarter, down 3% year-over-year.

What's Next for Flutter

The company is updating its full-year guidance. Flutter expects total revenue to be in a range of $17.66 billion to $18.96 billion for the full year, down slightly from prior guidance.

The company is guiding for U.S. revenue to be in a range of $7.40 to $8.20 billion, down slightly from previous guidance. International revenue is expected to be in a range of $10.26 billion to $10.76 billion, down slightly from previous guidance.

Flutter cites unfavorable sports results and the early Arkansas state launch as items that impacted U.S. guidance.

The company cited a strong pipeline of enhancements for the U.S. segment and upcoming sporting events like the World Cup and NFL season that could boost performance.

The company's FanDuel Predicts first-quarter revenue was "not material" and no guidance for this segment is factored into the full year projections. Flutter said it was happy with the prediction markets rollout and it is making good progress.

"The core fundamentals of our business remain strong, and I am confident that we have the right strategy, structure and global portfolio of local hero brands to capitalize on the significant long-term growth opportunity ahead," Flutter CEO Peter Jackson said.
