AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Duolingo (DUOL)

Duolingo Q1 revenue rises 38% to $230.7 million; full-year bookings guidance raised

Positive Impact 4 of 5 guidance Written later

Duolingo reported first-quarter 2025 revenue of $230.7 million, up 38% from a year earlier, and net income of $35.1 million, up from $27.0 million. The company raised its full-year 2025 bookings growth guidance to about 29% and its Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance midpoint to 28%, which signals stronger expected growth and profitability for shareholders.

Key points

  • Q1 total bookings were $271.6 million, up 38%; paid subscribers reached 10.3 million, up 40%.
  • Q1 gross margin fell to 71.1% from 73.0%, mainly due to higher generative AI costs tied to Duolingo Max.
  • Full-year 2025 revenue guidance is $987 million to $996 million, and full-year Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance midpoint is 28%.
