Brightstar Lottery ( (BRSL) ) has provided an update.

On February 24, 2026, Brightstar Lottery reported its fourth‑quarter and full‑year 2025 results, with Q4 revenue up 3% to $668 million and adjusted EBITDA rising 5%, driven by a 3.5% same‑store sales increase led by U.S. multi‑state jackpots and iLottery. For 2025, it cut net debt by 43% to $2.7 billion, boosted cash to $1.45 billion, returned over $1 billion to shareholders via dividends and buybacks, and the board raised the regular quarterly dividend to $0.23 per share while outlining plans for accelerated organic growth in 2026.

The company highlighted 2025 as a transformational year marked by the sale of IGT Gaming, heavy investment in Italy’s Lotto license and preparations for high‑ROI projects such as Italy B2C digital expansion and a new São Paulo lottery expected to support growth through 2028. Governance moves included appointing veteran diplomat Mariangela Zappia as an independent non‑executive director on February 19, 2026, and CFO Max Chiara’s decision not to stand for board re‑election at the next AGM as Brightstar seeks a more independent board while retaining him in the finance role, signaling tighter alignment with prevailing corporate governance standards.
