SAN FRANCISCO -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Eventbrite (NYSE: EB), a global marketplace for shared experiences, reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. The Company’s Third Quarter Investor Presentation can be found on Eventbrite’s Investor Relations website at https://investor.eventbrite.com.

“Our third quarter results reflect our strengthened foundation and the progress we are achieving to set the stage for a promising year to come,” said Julia Hartz, Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Executive Chair. “In the year ahead, we will empower creators, engage consumers, and unlock new opportunities through key initiatives designed to capture the large opportunity ahead and drive value for our shareholders. The work we’ve done this year positions us to scale our strengths and return to growth with a clear roadmap for 2026 that will drive both expansion and efficiency.”

“We once again achieved our revenue outlook and significantly outperformed our margin guidance in the third quarter,” said Anand Gandhi, Chief Financial Officer. “We continued to execute effectively while maintaining financial discipline. We delivered meaningful improvement in paid ticket, paid event, and paid creator trends, as well as further structural reductions in operating expenses. Our progress this year positions us well for top-line growth and margin expansion in 2026.”

●Net revenue of $71.7 million, declined 8% year-over-year as anticipated, driven in part by the elimination of organizer fees, and was in the middle of the Company’s quarterly outlook range.

●Eventbrite Ads continued to grow rapidly, up 38% year-over-year.

●Net income of $6.4 million compared to net loss of $3.8 million in the same period last year, reflecting $12.6 million in lower operating expenses and a gain of $5.8 million on partial extinguishment of 2026 convertible notes recognized in the third quarter of 2025.

●Adjusted EBITDA of $8.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.7% exceeded the Company’s outlook range.1

●Paid ticket volume of 19.1 million, declined 3% year-over-year, improving 400 basis points from the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and representing the Company’s fourth consecutive quarter of improvement in year-over-year trends.

●Paid creators of 162,000, declined less than 1% year-over-year, improving 400 basis points from the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and representing the Company’s fourth consecutive quarter of improvement in year-over-year trends.

The summary of GAAP and non-GAAP consolidated financial results is in the table below (in thousands, except percentages, unaudited):

* Not meaningful

For the fourth quarter 2025, the Company expects net revenue in the range of $71.5 million to $74.5 million and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 8% to 9%, excluding non-routine items.

For fiscal year 2025, the Company updated its revenue outlook range to $290 million to $293 million. As a result of the Company’s significant reductions in operating expenses, it raised its full-year Adjusted EBITDA margin outlook to approximately 8% to 9%, excluding non-routine items.

The Company has not provided an outlook for GAAP net loss or GAAP net loss margin or reconciliations of expected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss or expected Adjusted EBITDA margin to GAAP net loss margin because GAAP net loss and GAAP net loss margin on a forward-looking basis are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the potential variability and complexity of the items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, such as stock-based compensation expense, foreign exchange rate gains and losses, and other non-recurring expenses.

Such statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from results expressed or implied in this press release, including the impact of the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, including but not limited to, tariffs, expanded trade controls, taxes, conflicts around the world, inflation and changes in interest rates, and related shifts in consumer behavior and spending, and other factors more fully described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, other filings that the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these statements. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied. All forward-looking statements are based on information and estimates available to the Company at the time of this release, and are not guarantees of future performance, and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance. Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update any of the statements in this press release.

This press release includes certain measures related to our ticketing business, such as paid tickets and paid creators. We believe that the use of these metrics is helpful to our investors as these metrics are used by management in assessing the health of our business and our operating performance. These metrics are based on what we believe to be reasonable estimates for the applicable period of measurement. There are inherent challenges in measuring these metrics, and we regularly review and may adjust our processes for calculating our internal metrics to improve their accuracy. You should not consider these metrics in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP.

We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin is helpful to investors in understanding and evaluating results of operations and useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of the company's business performance as they are metrics used by management in assessing the health of the company’s business and operating performance, making operating decisions, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting. These measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. In addition, other companies may not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner as we calculate them, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. You are encouraged to evaluate the adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate. Some amounts in this press release may not add due to rounding.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest income, interest expense, employer taxes related to employee equity transactions, (gain) loss on debt extinguishment, other (income) expense, net, income tax provision, and significant and non-recurring legal matters, net of insurance recoveries. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Effective with the second fiscal quarter of 2025, we revised our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to include certain significant and non-recurring legal matters, net of insurance recoveries, that we consider to be non-recurring and not reflective of our ongoing operations. This change better aligns Adjusted EBITDA with how management evaluates our core operating performance. This updated definition has been applied prospectively, beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2025. Prior period results have not been recast, as the change does not impact any previously reported amounts.

Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA include (i) Adjusted EBITDA does not properly reflect capital spending that occurs off of the income statement or account for future contractual commitments, (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures and (iii) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest and principal required to service our indebtedness. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we expect to incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this release. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or non-routine items. When evaluating performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income (loss) and other GAAP results.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. Because of the limitations described above, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss, net loss margin, and other GAAP results.
