•Significant cash flow generation in the first half helped fund final Italy Lotto license payment; Company maintains strong balance sheet and credit profile

•Continued commitment to shareholder returns with over $140 million deployed year-to-date

LONDON – August 4, 2026 – Brightstar Lottery PLC (NYSE:BRSL) (“Brightstar” or the "Company") today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Today, at 8:00 a.m. EDT, management will host a conference call and webcast to present the results; access details are provided below.

“Better-than-expected second quarter profits were driven by global same-store sales expansion and disciplined operational management, even as we invest in long-term growth initiatives,” said Vince Sadusky, CEO of Brightstar. “We achieved several important milestones with our Italy B2C expansion efforts, and global iLottery wagers continue to grow at a double-digit pace. With the final Italy Lotto license payment behind us, revenue, profit, and cash flow are poised to inflect.”

“Cash generation was strong in the first half of the year, funding important investments in the business,” said Max Chiara, CFO of Brightstar. “We’re increasing our OPtiMa cost savings target to $100 million by 2028 as we further optimize our organization and operations. The strength of our balance sheet and financial condition supports our balanced approach to capital allocation, which included returning $140 million to shareholders in the year-to-date period.”

Financial Highlights

Revenue of $584 million, down 7% from $631 million in the prior year

•Key drivers of growth include:

•1.5% global same-store sales growth and positive mix in the U.S.

•Offsets to growth include:

•Higher service revenue amortization related to Italy Lotto license

•U.K. service contract transition

•Lower product sales

Income from continuing operations was $56 million compared to a loss of $60 million in the prior-year period, primarily resulting from:

•Items listed as drivers of growth and offsets to growth in Adjusted EBITDA below

•Lower restructuring charges than the prior year

•Non-cash impact of fluctuations in the EUR/USD exchange rate on Parent company debt balances

•Reduced provision for income taxes, primarily attributable to lower valuation allowances and benefit of a discrete tax item

Adjusted EBITDA increased 4% to $286 million versus $274 million in the prior-year period

•Key drivers of growth include:

•Profit flow-through of same-store sales growth

•OPtiMa cost efficiencies and General & administrative expense recoveries

•Partial offsets to growth include:

•Investments in growth initiatives

•U.K. service contract transition

Diluted income per share from continuing operations was $0.18 compared to diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $0.47 in the prior year.

•Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.11 compared to adjusted diluted income per share from continuing operations of $0.12 in the prior year.

•Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations includes $43 million ($0.23 per share) of Brightstar's portion, net of tax, of service revenue amortization compared to $23 million ($0.11 per share) in 2025.

Net debt was $3.8 billion compared to $2.7 billion at December 31, 2025, reflecting the final Italy Lotto payment. Net debt leverage was 3.24x.

The Company has initiated a third phase of OPtiMa 3.0, a multi-year program (“OPtiMa 3.3”).

The plan is expected to be substantially complete within one year.

Forward‑looking statements may be identified by words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “target,” “project,” “on track,” “reaffirm,” or similar expressions. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others: changes in economic, competitive, regulatory, and political conditions; risks related to contract awards, renewals, and execution; reliance on regulatory approvals and timing; risks associated with digital execution, technology initiatives, and product development; inflationary pressures; interest rate and foreign exchange volatility; changes in consumer behavior; capital market conditions; and the risk factors described in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20‑F and other filings with the SEC. Forward‑looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.

Nothing in this release should be relied upon as a guarantee of future performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management supplements the reporting of financial information, determined under GAAP, with certain non-GAAP financial information. Management believes the non-GAAP information presented provides investors with additional useful information, but it is not intended to, nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Moreover, other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently, which limits the usefulness of these measures for comparisons with such

other companies. The Company encourages investors to review its financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Adjusted EBIT represents net income (loss) from continuing operations (a GAAP measure) before income taxes, interest expense, net, foreign exchange gain (loss), net, other expenses (e.g., gains/losses on extinguishment and modifications of debt, etc.), net, impairment losses, restructuring expenses, stock-based compensation, litigation expense (income), and certain other non-recurring items. Other non-recurring items are infrequent in nature and are not reflective of ongoing operational activities. Management believes that Adjusted EBIT is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

Adjusted EBIT margin represents Adjusted EBIT divided by revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) from continuing operations (a GAAP measure) before income taxes, interest expense, net, foreign exchange gain (loss), net, other expenses (e.g., gains/losses on extinguishment and modifications of debt, etc.), net, depreciation, impairment losses, amortization (service revenue, purchase accounting, and non-purchase accounting), restructuring expenses, stock-based compensation, litigation expense (income), and certain other non-recurring items. Other non-recurring items are infrequent in nature and are not reflective of ongoing operational activities. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

Adjusted EPS represents diluted earnings per share (a GAAP measure), excluding the effects of foreign exchange, impairments, amortization from purchase accounting, discrete tax items, and other significant non-recurring adjustments that are not reflective of on-going operational activities (e.g., gains/losses on sale of business, gains/losses on extinguishment and modifications of debt, etc.). Adjusted EPS is calculated using diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding, including the impact of any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive to GAAP net income (loss) per share but dilutive to Adjusted EPS. Management believes that Adjusted EPS is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents debt (a GAAP measure, calculated as long-term obligations plus short-term borrowings) minus capitalized debt issuance costs and cash and cash equivalents, including cash and cash equivalents classified as held for sale. Cash and cash equivalents, including cash and cash equivalents held for sale, are subtracted from the GAAP measure because they could be used to reduce the Company’s debt obligations. Management believes that net debt is a useful measure to monitor leverage and evaluate the balance sheet.

Net debt leverage is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the ratio of Net debt as of a particular balance sheet date to Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months prior to such date. Management believes that net debt leverage is a useful measure to assess Brightstar's financial strength and ability to incur incremental indebtedness when making key investment decisions.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents cash flow from operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity and an additional basis for assessing Brightstar’s ability to fund its activities, including debt service and distribution of earnings to shareholders.

Constant currency is a non-GAAP adjustment to certain financial measures that expresses current financial data using the prior-year/period exchange rate (i.e., the exchange rate used in preparing the financial statements for the prior year). Management believes that constant currency is a useful measure to compare period-to-period results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the tables in this release. The tables provide additional information as to the items and amounts that have been excluded from the adjusted measures.

The Company provides guidance of select information related to its financial and operating performance, and such measures may differ from year to year. The guidance is only an estimate of what the Company believes is realizable as of the date of this release. Actual results may vary from the guidance and the variations may be material. The Company undertakes no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise any of these projections, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

A reconciliation of the Company's forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the adjusting items necessary for such a reconciliation to be prepared, for example, the provision for income taxes or net foreign exchange gain/loss, as such items have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control, or cannot be reasonably predicted.
