  • Achieved over 100 million streaming households and delivered an outstanding Q1, with strong execution on monetization initiatives and platform growth.

  • Net revenue for Q1 2026 was $1.25 billion, up 22% year-over-year, driven by strong growth in Advertising and Subscriptions, partially offset by a decline in Devices revenue.

  • Net income was $85.7 million, compared to a net loss of $27.4 million in Q1 2025, reflecting improved profitability and operational leverage.

  • Platform revenue (Advertising + Subscriptions) grew 28% year-over-year to $1.13 billion, while Devices revenue declined 16% to $117.6 million.

  • Advertising gross margin exceeded 60%, up over 400 basis points year-over-year, and is expected to remain at or above this level.

  • Subscription gross margin was just north of 40%, down due to mix shift but expected to stabilize at 41%-42%.

Outlook and guidance

  • Full-year platform revenue guidance raised by over $100 million to nearly 21% growth.

  • EBITDA and EBITDA margin guidance increased; free cash flow expected to exceed adjusted EBITDA for the year.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
