Earnings releases have generally seen the stock move in the same direction as the underlying fundamentals, with one notable selloff on strong Q3 2025 results.
Over the last five earnings releases, Cricut has emphasized consistent profitability, cash generation, and growing paid subscribers. Events on Nov 4, 2025 and Aug 5, 2025 highlighted revenue growth, margin expansion, and rising cash balances, while some quarters like Q3 2024 showed revenue and net income pressure. The prior full-year 2024 results on Mar 4, 2025 already underscored improving margins despite revenue declines, providing context for 2025’s ninth consecutive profitable year and continued platform expansion.
Historical Comparison
In the past five earnings releases, CRCT’s average move was 4.21%, usually tracking the tone of results, with only one sharp selloff on otherwise strong financial performance.
Earnings reports from late 2024 through 2025 show a pattern of modest revenue pressure offset by rising gross margins, higher net income, growing paid subscribers, and strong cash generation, culminating in 2025’s ninth consecutive profitable year.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights Cricut’s ninth consecutive year of profitability, with 2025 net income of $76.7M, revenue of $708.8M, and cash from operations of $200.2M. Gross margin improved to 55.1% as platform ARPU rose to $55.77 and paid subscribers exceeded 3.09M, offsetting modest revenue pressure. Historically, earnings have produced average moves of 4.21%. Investors may watch subscriber growth, margins, cash generation, and insider activity around future results.

Glossary of Terms
Active Users
We define Active Users as registered users of at least one registered connected machine who have utilized their connected machine to create a project in the last 365 days. One user may own multiple registered connected machines but is only counted once if that user registers those connected machines by using the same email address. If possession of a connected machine is transferred to a new owner and registered by that new owner, the new owner is added to the total Active Users and the prior owner is removed from the total Active Users if the prior owner does not own any other registered connected machines. Active Users is a key indicator of the health of our business, because changes in the number of Active Users excludes non-users to better represent opportunities for us to drive additional platform and accessories and materials revenue.
90-Day Engaged Users
We define 90-Day Engaged Users as registered users of at least one registered connected machine who have utilized their connected machine to create a project in the last 90 days. One user may own multiple registered connected machines but is only counted once if that user registers those connected machines by using the same email address. If possession of a connected machine is transferred to a new owner and registered by that new owner, the new owner is added to the total 90-Day Engaged Users and the prior owner is removed from the total 90-Day Engaged Users if the prior owner does not own any other registered connected machines. 90-Day Engaged Users excludes non-users to better represent opportunities for us to drive additional platform and accessories and materials revenue.
Paid Subscribers
We define Paid Subscribers as the number of users with a subscription to Cricut Access or Cricut Access Premium, excluding cancelled, unpaid, paused, or free trial subscriptions, as of the end of a period. Paid Subscribers is a key metric to track growth in our Platform revenue and potential leverage in our gross margin.
Platform ARPU
We define Platform ARPU as Platform revenue in a 12-month period divided by Active Users. Platform ARPU allows us to forecast Platform revenue over time and is an indicator of our ability to expand with users and of user engagement with our subscription offerings.
