DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ibotta, Inc. (NYSE: IBTA), which operates the largest item-level digital promotions network in North America, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“Ibotta is working hard to bring the power of performance marketing to the CPG industry, allowing our clients to drive profitable revenue growth at scale,� said Ibotta CEO and founder, Bryan Leach. “We are working to fundamentally shift the ways promotions are perceived which requires us to reinvent how they are measured and change how they are purchased to more closely resemble other forms of digital media, where advertisers turn on campaigns and leave them on as long as they are delivering positive incremental returns on investment. We believe this transformation will allow us to capture a greater portion of our total addressable market for CPG marketing spend, unlock advertiser supply, and take advantage of our fast-growing network, both now and into the future. I also want to welcome Matt Puckett to Ibotta as our new CFO. We are thrilled to have his leadership as we move into our next phase of growth.�

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:

  • Total revenue of $86.0 million, representing a year-over-year decline of 2%.
  • Total redemption revenue of $73.2 million, a decrease of 1% year-over-year.
  • During the quarter, the IPN had 17.3 million redeemers, compared to 13.7 million redeemers in the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 27% year-over-year. The primary driver of year-over-year growth was the launch of Instacart during the fourth quarter of 2024, like-for-like growth at our existing publishers, and the partial launch of DoorDash.
  • Increased third-party publisher redemptions to 58.6 million, compared to 52.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 12% year-over-year.
  • Generated net income of $2.5 million, representing net income as a percent of revenue of 3%, and adjusted net income of $14.9 million, representing adjusted net income as a percent of revenue of 17%.
  • Delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $17.9 million, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 21%.
  • Generated cash from operating activities of $25.9 million and free cash flow of $18.9 million.
  • Repurchased 1.4 million shares for a total of $67.5 million at an average price per share of $46.59, exclusive of broker commissions and excise tax.

Second Quarter 2025 Business Highlights:

  • 27% year-over-year growth in quarterly redeemers on the Ibotta Performance Network.
  • Ibotta digital offers became available to the majority of DoorDash customers.
  • Added to our Revenue leadership team with new hires in the roles of SVP of Enterprise Sales and SVP of Business Marketing and subsequent to quarter-end, SVP of Revenue Operations.
  • Subsequent to quarter-end, announced the hiring of Matt Puckett as CFO.
  • Subsequent to quarter-end, implemented a sales re-organization and held our Summer Sales Kick Off, where we introduced a simplified sales motion and paved the way for our transition to performance marketing.

Financial Guidance:

Third quarter 2025 outlook summary:

  • Revenue of $79.0 - $85.0 million, a year-over-year decrease of 17% at the midpoint.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $9.5 - $13.5 million, representing a margin of 14% at the midpoint.

Guidance for Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest income, net, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, and excludes stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, and other expense, net. We have not reconciled Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income for our guidance because we do not provide guidance on GAAP net income and would not be able to present the various reconciling cash and non-cash items between the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures since certain items that impact these measures are uncertain or out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted, including share-based compensation expense, without unreasonable effort. The actual amounts of such reconciling items could have a significant impact on the Company's GAAP net income.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Included within this press release are the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income as a percent of revenue, adjusted diluted net income per share and free cash flow that supplement the condensed financial statements of the Company prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Please see the accompanying tables for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP equivalents.

Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest income, net, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, and excludes stock-based compensation, change in fair value of derivative, loss on debt extinguishment, restructuring charges, and other expense, net. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue. Adjusted net income excludes stock-based compensation, loss on debt extinguishment, change in fair value of derivative, restructuring charges, and the related income tax effects. The income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments is the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP income tax expense. Non-GAAP income tax expense is computed on non-GAAP pre-tax income (GAAP pre-tax income adjusted for non-GAAP adjustments). Adjusted diluted net income per share is calculated as adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities, less additions to property and equipment and capitalization of software development costs.

The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP measures can assist investors in evaluating the Company's operational trends, financial performance, and cash-generating capacity. Management believes these non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the Company’s financial performance using some of the same measures as management. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. The Company’s definitions may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. These non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures, but are included solely for informational and comparative purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to limitations and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In light of these limitations, management also reviews the specific items that are excluded from our non-GAAP measures, as well as trends in these items.

Key Business Terms and Notes

Ibotta Performance Network (IPN): An AI-enabled technology platform that allows CPG brands to deliver digital promotions to consumers via a network of publishers, in a coordinated fashion and on a fee-per-sale basis.

Redeemers: ​​A consumer who has redeemed at least one digital offer within the time period specified. If a consumer were to redeem on more than one publisher during that period, they would be counted as multiple redeemers. Year-to-date redeemers are calculated as the average of current year quarter-to-date redeemers.

Redemptions: A verified purchase of an item qualifying for an offer by a client on the IPN.

Redemption Revenue: The Company’s customers promote their products and services to consumers through cash back offers on the IPN. The Company earns a fee per redemption which is recognized in the period in which the redemption occurred. The Company may also charge fees to set up a redemption campaign which are deferred and recognized over the average duration of historical redemption campaigns.

About Ibotta ("I bought a...")

Ibotta (NYSE: IBTA) is a leading provider of digital promotions for CPG brands, reaching over 200 million consumers through a network of publishers called the Ibotta Performance Network (IPN). The IPN allows marketers to influence what people buy, and where and how often they shop � all while paying only when their campaigns directly result in a sale. American shoppers have earned over $2.5 billion through the IPN since 2012. The largest tech IPO in history to come out of Colorado, Ibotta is headquartered in Denver, and is continually listed as a top place to work by The Denver Post and Inc. Magazine.
