Stuart Last, CEO of Audioboom, commented:
“2025 marked an inflection point in Audioboom’s transition from a podcast network to a scaled audio and video platform. The accretive acquisition of Adelicious in July created instant scale in the UK market and highlights the growth opportunity that exists through disciplined M&A. The additional inventory from the Adelicious network fuelled Showcase, supporting its continued expansion and record revenue contribution.
Video growth was also key to this transition, as we developed a market-leading position with 13 of the top 100 Youtube video podcasts in the Audioboom Creator Network. Podscribe’s ranker recognised us as the number 1 network for video, and our new commercial partnership with Spotify will support our 2026 focus on enhancing our video revenue engine. It will bring new advertising options as well as direct revenue from subscriptions – this will be a step forward in ensuring we maximise value for our video creators.
Our financial performance in 2025 was very pleasing, with record revenue and adjusted EBITDA ahead of market expectations for the year. Our gross profit grew at double the pace of revenue, reflecting our continued focus on developing higher-quality revenue. Our increased gross margin combined with our stable operating costs to deliver 54% annual adjusted EBITDA growth – in Q4 our EBITDA margin hit 9%, highlighting the gearing effect of our business model as we drive revenue forward.
I am excited about 2026. We will have record inventory levels, new international opportunities, and a continued focus on growing our platform model. I would like to express my appreciation to the Audioboom team and to thank shareholders for their continued support and belief in the future of the Company.”
