SAN FRANCISCO: Unity (NYSE: U), the leading platform to create and grow games and interactive experiences, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
"The Company’s first quarter results once again meaningfully exceeded expectations on both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, highlighting our progress as we continue to build a culture of execution and discipline,” said Matt Bromberg, President and CEO of Unity.
“The early success of Unity Vector and continued strong demand for Unity 6 underscore our positioning as the leading integrated platform supporting developers across the full lifecycle of game development,” Bromberg continued.
First Quarter 2025 Results:
Revenue
Revenue was $435 million, down 6% year-over-year driven by our portfolio reset.
Create Solutions revenue was $150 million, down 8% year-over-year, primarily due to a decrease in professional services revenue and consumption services revenue, both caused by the portfolio reset. The year-over-year decrease was partially offset by strong growth in subscription revenue.
Grow Solutions revenue was $285 million, down 4% year-over-year. The change was driven by declines in select Grow products, partially offset by the earlier than expected rollout of Unity Vector.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per share
Basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.19, as compared to $0.75 for the same period in 2024.
Net Loss and Net Cash Provided by or Used in Operating Activities
Net loss for the quarter was $78 million, compared to $291 million in the first quarter of 2024.
Net loss margin was (18)%, compared to (63)% in the first quarter of 2024.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $13 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $7 million in the first quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted EPS
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $84 million, with a margin of 19%, compared to $79 million in the first quarter of 2024, with a margin of 17%. The better than expected adjusted EBITDA margin in the first quarter of 2025 was due to better cost control and higher than expected revenue.
Free cash flow for the quarter was $7 million, compared to negative $15 million in the first quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EPS for the quarter was $0.24, compared to $0.28 in the first quarter of 2024.
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash was $1,552 million, and increased by $24 million, as compared with $1,528 million as of December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by proceeds from issuance of common stock from employee equity plans, and from our operations, offset by the net cash outflows from our debt refinancing.
