Actionable Insight

The impairment charge is a one-time accounting event and does not reflect ongoing operations. Focus on the strong adjusted EBITDA growth, improving utilization (75.5%), and capital raised to fund expansion. The 2026 guidance suggests moderation in growth, so monitor AI-driven demand trends and execution on capacity ramp-up.

Key Facts

  • Q4 2025 revenue: $417.8M (+8.6% YoY), full-year 2025 revenue: $1.63B (+10.8% YoY)
  • Q4 net loss: $66.2M (vs. $173.4M loss in Q4 2024) due to $223.3M impairment loss on long-lived assets
  • Full-year 2025 net income: $137.2M (vs. $770.9M net loss in 2024)
  • Adjusted EBITDA: $195.3M in Q4 (+5.2% YoY), $772.7M for full year (+10.8% YoY)
  • Raised $685M via sale of DayOne shares and private placement of convertible preferred shares
  • 2026 guidance: revenue $1.77B–$1.84B (8.5%–12.8% growth), adjusted EBITDA $822M–$858M (6.4%–11.0% growth)

Financial Impact

Revenue and adjusted EBITDA grew solidly in 2025, but Q4 profitability was severely impacted by a $223.3M impairment charge. The company strengthened its balance sheet with $685M in new capital.
