Audioboom (LSE:BOOM) reported record revenue for 2025 of approximately US$80.4 million, representing a 10% year-on-year increase, alongside a 54% rise in adjusted EBITDA to around US$5.1 million, comfortably ahead of market expectations.
The improved performance was driven by an 18% increase in gross profit to US$17 million, reflecting a continued shift toward higher-margin revenue streams. The company delivered a strong finish to the year, with record results in the fourth quarter supported by growth in its Showcase advertising marketplace. Downloads and video views also rose sharply following the acquisition of Adelicious, strengthening Audioboom’s position in the UK market.
Strategically, Audioboom has entered into a new commercial partnership with Spotify and completed the removal of an onerous contract, actions that management believes will enhance video monetisation and improve the quality of earnings. Looking ahead, the group expects adjusted EBITDA to serve as a closer proxy for cash generation in 2026, even as it continues a broader strategic review of the business.
From a market perspective, sentiment is supported by strong technical indicators and a series of positive corporate developments. These are partly offset by ongoing challenges around cash flow generation and a relatively high price-to-earnings multiple. Nonetheless, the shares’ upward trend and improving operational leverage underpin confidence in Audioboom’s longer-term growth potential.
