Insights

Financial Analyst

Agora achieves third consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability with $1.5M net income despite nearly flat overall revenue growth.

Agora's Q2 2025 results reveal a significant turnaround story as the company delivered net income of $1.5 million compared to a $9.2 million loss in the same quarter last year. This marks their third consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability, demonstrating successful execution of their operational efficiency initiatives.

Looking at revenue performance, the company posted total revenue of $34.3 million, representing minimal growth of 0.1% year-over-year. However, this headline figure masks important underlying dynamics. The Agora division showed strong growth of 16.7% reaching $18.2 million, while Shengwang's revenue declined by 12.4% to $16.1 million. This decline was primarily due to the company strategically phasing out certain end-of-sale products that generated $3.3 million in Q2 2024.

Margin improvement stands out as a key achievement. Gross margin expanded significantly to 66.8% from 62.0% in the prior year period, driven by the elimination of lower-margin products. Meanwhile, operating expenses decreased by 18.7% to $26.5 million, with notable reductions in research and development (down 23.0%) and general and administrative expenses (down 26.6%) as the company optimized its global workforce.

Cash preservation appears strong with $377.3 million in total cash and equivalents. The company used just $0.4 million in operating cash during the quarter, compared to $7.6 million in Q2 2024, indicating substantially improved operational efficiency.

Customer metrics show positive momentum with active customers for Agora increasing 12.4% to 1,880. However, dollar-based net retention rates of 97% for Agora and 87% for Shengwang suggest some challenges in expanding usage among existing customers, especially for Shengwang.

The company's Q3 2025 revenue guidance of $34-36 million projects year-over-year growth of 7.6% to 13.9%, indicating accelerating growth compared to Q2. This suggests management's confidence in the continued adoption of their conversational AI engine launched in March, which is now seeing production deployments in call centers and AI-powered companion toys.

The share repurchase program continues to be significant, with the company having repurchased approximately 63.6% of its $200 million authorization, demonstrating commitment to returning capital to shareholders while maintaining substantial cash reserves.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Agora, Inc. (NASDAQ: API) (the “Company”), a pioneer and leader in conversational AI and real-time engagement technology, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“We are proud to deliver our third consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability in Q2, with expanding margins driven by solid revenue growth and continued efficiency improvement,” said Tony Zhao, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Agora, Inc. “Since launching our Conversational AI Engine in March, we’ve partnered with customers to develop voice agents for a variety of applications. We’re now seeing several of these solutions enter real-world production—including in call centers and AI-powered companion toys. Building on this momentum, we will continue to integrate domain-specific expertise and enhance the performance of our solution. We are increasingly confident that our technology will help transform industries ranging from customer service and education to smart devices.”

Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Wang co-founded multiple technology and digital marketing startups between 2006 and 2015. Earlier in his career, he served as a senior application developer at InfoSearch Media, a search engine marketing firm, from 2002 to 2005.

These additional shares will be added to and made available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the A&R Global Plan, in addition to the shares otherwise available under the Global Equity Incentive Plan in accordance with its terms.

Except as expressly set forth in the A&R Global Plan, all other terms and conditions of the plan remain in full force and effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this press release have the meanings given to them in the plan.

Financial Outlook

Based on currently available information, the Company expects total revenues for the third quarter of 2025 to be between $34 million and $36 million, representing year-over-year growth of 7.6% to 13.9%.

Operating Metrics

The Company also uses other operating metrics included in this press release and defined below to assess the performance of its business.

Active Customers

An active customer at the end of any period is defined as an organization or individual developer from which the Company generated more than $100 of revenue during the preceding 12 months, excluding customers from Easemob. Customers are counted based on unique customer account identifiers. Generally, one software application uses the same customer account identifier throughout its life cycle while one account may be used for multiple applications.

Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate

Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate is calculated for a trailing 12-month period by first identifying all customers in the prior 12-month period, and then calculating the quotient from dividing the revenue generated from such customers in the trailing 12-month period by the revenue generated from the same group of customers in the prior 12-month period. As the vast majority of revenue generated from Agora’s customers is denominated in U.S. dollars, while the vast majority of revenue generated from Shengwang’s customers is denominated in Renminbi, Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate is calculated in U.S. dollars for Agora and in Renminbi for Shengwang, which has substantially removed the impact of foreign currency translations. Shengwang excluded the revenues from certain end-of-sale products. The Company believes Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis.
