DENVER: Ibotta, Inc. (NYSE: IBTA), which operates the largest digital promotions network in North America, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.
“2024 was a year of significant growth and change for Ibotta,” said Ibotta CEO and founder, Bryan Leach. “We completed our IPO on the New York Stock Exchange, added Family Dollar, AppCard, Schnucks and Instacart to the IPN, and grew our non-GAAP revenue by 20% all while expanding our adjusted EBITDA margins substantially. In 2025, we are focused both on executing against our near-term financial objectives while at the same time introducing major new innovations in measurement and targeting.”
Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights:
