Audioboom Posts Double-Digit Growth, Marks Shift To Audio-Video Platform.

Audioboom CEO Stuart Last says 2025 marked an inflection point in the company’s transition from a podcast network to a scaled audio and video platform. And while it provides no update on a potential sale, Audioboom has released its year-end results with double-digit revenue growth and a solidification of its profitability.

Audioboom says it had total revenue last year of $80.4 million. That was a 10% increase versus 2024. The year ended on a strong note, as fourth-quarter revenue was a record $24.9 million, with overall earnings a record $2.2 million.

The result is Audioboom says it had total earnings of $5.1 million last year, which was a 54% gain over 2024 — and ahead of its expectations. Total gross profit for the year was $17 million, up 18% year-over-year, which management says reflects its continued focus on higher-quality revenue.

Helping boost results was what Audioboom says was “significant” growth for its programmatic platform Showcase last year. The global exchange recorded its best results to date, with record revenue of $30.4 million. That was up nearly a third (31%) over 2024. It also means that nearly four in ten dollars logged by the company in revenue last year was the result of the Showcase programmatic platform.

“Our financial performance in 2025 was very pleasing,” Last tells investors in the update. “Our gross profit grew at double the pace of revenue, reflecting our continued focus on developing higher-quality revenue.”

Dollars weren’t the only things growing last year for Audioboom. It reports the fourth quarter brought a 66% increase in downloads and video views from the year before, driven in part from its July acquisition of Adelicious and the fast-paced growth of Audioboom’s video podcasts. Overall, the company says it had 150 million downloads and video views during Q4, up from 91 million a year earlier.

Audioboom says fourth quarter RPM — the average revenue per 1,000 downloads — came in lower than the prior year at $55.23. It blames the drop on the increase in lower-yield video views and UK downloads but adds that it also represents a “significant upside opportunity” in the year ahead.

Last says video growth was a key part of the company’s transition to an audio and video platform, noting 13 of the top 100 YouTube video podcasts last year are in the Audioboom Creator Network. It also formed a new commercial partnership with Spotify that will support a focus in 2026 on enhancing video revenue growth. “It will bring new advertising options as well as direct revenue from subscriptions — this will be a step forward in ensuring we maximize value for our video creators,” Last says.

Looking to the year ahead, Last says he’s excited about 2026. “We will have record inventory levels, new international opportunities, and a continued focus on growing our platform model,” he predicts.

Audioboom announced in October it has brought in London-based investment bank J Goodwin & Co to help it sort through several options for the company going forward, confirming that the strategic review process includes a potential sale. It earlier announced it was in discussions with other podcast companies and strategic partners about potential alliances as part of the review. 

The latest update offers no details of how those conversations are progressing. It says only that the review “remains ongoing.”
