Skillz Inc. reported fourth‑quarter and full‑year 2025 financial results, showing revenue of $30.0 million for the quarter and $104.5 million for the year. The company posted a gross profit of $26.5 million in Q4 and a net loss of $17.9 million, with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $10.0 million. Paying monthly active users (PMAUs) rose to 141,000, while the average revenue per PMAU (ARPPU) for the full year was $61.7.
The quarter’s revenue grew 68.9% year‑over‑year, driven by sequential growth in both the core Skillz platform and the AI ad‑tech segment RZR (formerly Aarki). RZR’s positive adjusted EBITDA for the year contributed significantly to the overall improvement, while the Skillz platform continued to expand its user base and monetization. Gross margin for Q4 was 88.3%, and the full‑year gross margin was 87.5%, reflecting strong pricing power and efficient cost of goods sold.
Net loss widened to $17.9 million in Q4, but the company’s adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to $10.0 million, a 46% improvement over the $18.5 million loss in Q4 2024. The full‑year adjusted EBITDA loss of $50.5 million also improved from $63.0 million in 2024, indicating a move toward profitability as the company scales its operations and controls costs.
Management highlighted that the company achieved four consecutive quarters of sequential revenue growth and returned to year‑over‑year growth in the second half of 2025. CEO Andrew Paradise noted that “our AI ad‑tech segment, RZR, recently rebranded from Aarki, delivered significant growth and achieved positive Adjusted EBITDA for the full year, reflecting the strength of its platform and operating discipline.” CFO Gaetano Franceschi added that the company “delivered revenue growth and a 16% year‑over‑year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA, while continuing to invest in product innovation and marketing with discipline.”
The market reacted positively to the Q4 results, with investors citing the strong revenue growth and improved gross margin as key drivers. Analysts noted that the company’s ability to generate sequential growth across both segments and the narrowing of the adjusted EBITDA loss signaled progress toward sustainable profitability. However, the company remains in a net‑loss position and continues to burn cash, underscored by $194.5 million in cash and $129.7 million in debt as of December 31 2025.
The results underscore Skillz’s focus on scaling its integrated system to drive engagement, monetization, and long‑term value, while highlighting the ongoing challenge of turning revenue growth into profitability. The company’s continued investment in product innovation and marketing, coupled with the positive performance of RZR, positions it to capitalize on future growth opportunities, but the net‑loss and cash burn remain key risks for investors.
