Insights

LivePerson reports declining revenue but delivers on guidance with debt refinancing that significantly improves balance sheet structure.

LivePerson's Q2 2025 results paint a picture of a company in transition. Revenue came in at $59.6 million, which hit the high end of their guidance range but still represents a substantial 25.4% year-over-year decline. This contraction was primarily driven by customer cancellations and downsells, signaling ongoing challenges in customer retention.

The most significant development this quarter wasn't operational but financial – the company completed a major refinancing agreement that captures $181 million of debt discount, deleverages the balance sheet by $226 million, and extends their runway through 2029. This restructuring represents a critical move to shore up the company's financial foundation amid declining revenues.

On the customer front, LivePerson signed 38 deals, but only 3 were new customers. The trailing twelve-month average revenue per customer increased by 4% to $655,000, suggesting the company is successfully extracting more value from remaining clients despite the overall customer base shrinkage.

The company reported a net loss of $15.7 million or $0.17 per share, compared to net income of $41.8 million in Q2 2024. However, last year's profit was inflated by a $73.1 million gain on debt extinguishment. The adjusted EBITDA of $2.9 million exceeded guidance but fell from $8.2 million in the prior year.

Looking ahead, management projects continued revenue declines with Q3 guidance of $56-59 million (down 21-25% year-over-year) and full-year 2025 revenue of $230-240 million (down 23-26%). The company expects adjusted EBITDA to range from $(4)-$(2) million for Q3 and $(3)-$7 million for the full year, reflecting tight margins as they execute their transformation strategy.

With $162 million in cash and a cleaner balance sheet following the refinancing, LivePerson now has runway to execute its AI-focused strategy, highlighted by a 45% sequential increase in conversations powered by their Generative AI suite and deepened partnership with Google Cloud.

-- Total Revenue of $59.6 million, at the high-end of our guidance range --

-- Adjusted EBITDA above the high-end of our guidance range  --

NEW YORK, Aug. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LivePerson, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPSN) ("LivePerson" the "Company", "we" or "us"), a leading provider of trusted enterprise conversational AI and outcome-driven digital transformation, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Second Quarter Highlights

Total revenue was $59.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 25.4% as compared to the same period last year, driven primarily by customer cancellations and downsells.

LivePerson signed 38 deals in total for the second quarter, consisting of 35 existing and 3 new customers. Trailing-twelve-months average revenue per enterprise and mid-market customer (ARPC) increased 4.0% for the second quarter to $655,000, up from approximately $630,000 for the comparable prior-year period. ARPC is calculated using only recurring revenue, which is consistent with the revenue base for calculating Net Revenue Retention.

"In the second quarter, we took a decisive step to strengthen our financial foundation by securing a refinancing agreement that significantly deleverages our balance sheet and provides a clear runway to execute our strategy. This action complements our continued execution, highlighted by a 45% sequential increase in conversations powered by our Generative AI suite and our deepened strategic partnership with Google Cloud. With a stronger capital structure in place and accelerating innovation, we are well-positioned to drive commercial execution," said John Sabino, LivePerson's CEO.

"Today's transaction represents the successful culmination of our multi-year strategy to deleverage the balance sheet," said John Collins, CFO and COO. "This exchange captures $181 million of debt discount that accretes to shareholders, deleverages the balance sheet by $226 million, and extends LivePerson's runway through 2029. In sum, we believe this exchange shifts a greater proportion of enterprise value to shareholders, and provides the company with time to execute its strategy, reinforcing its position as a long-term strategic partner to customers, and creating runway to further enhance value for shareholders."

Customer Expansion

During the second quarter, the Company signed 38 total deals for the quarter, including 35 expansion and renewals and 3 new logo deals. Expansions and renewals included:

  • A global financial services company;
  • A major European retailer;
  • One of Australia's largest retail groups; and
  • A leading U.S. health plan provider.

New logos included:

  • A European digital marketing agency.

Net (Loss) Income, Adjusted Operating (Loss) Income and Adjusted EBITDA

Net loss for the second quarter of 2025 was $15.7 million or $0.17 per share, as compared to net income of $41.8 million or $0.47 per share for the second quarter of 2024. This change is primarily driven by a $73.1 million gain on the extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted operating loss, a non-GAAP financial metric, for the second quarter of 2025 was $2.7 million, as compared to adjusted operating income of $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted operating (loss) income excludes provision for income taxes, interest expense, interest income, amortization of purchased intangibles and finance leases, litigation, consulting and other employee costs, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrants, impairment of goodwill, impairment of intangibles and other assets, leadership transition costs, working capital adjustment related to the Kasamba divestiture, IT transformation costs, acquisition and divestiture costs, gain on debt extinguishment, loss on divestiture, and other income, net.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the second quarter of 2025 was $2.9 million as compared to adjusted EBITDA of $8.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA excludes interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization of purchased intangibles and finance leases, litigation, consulting and other employee costs, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrants, impairment of goodwill, impairment of intangibles and other assets, leadership transition costs, working capital adjustment related to the Kasamba divestiture, IT transformation costs, acquisition and divestiture costs, gain on debt extinguishment, loss on divestiture, and other income, net.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release. An explanation of the non-GAAP financial measures and how they are calculated is included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company's cash balance was $162.0 million at June 30, 2025, as compared to $183.2 million at December 31, 2024.

Financial Expectations

The following forward-looking measures and the underlying assumptions involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and actual results may vary materially from these forward-looking measures. The Company does not present a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures (or otherwise present such forward-looking GAAP measures) because it is impractical to forecast certain items without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting, within a reasonable range, the occurrence and financial impact of and the periods in which such items may be recognized. In particular, these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items, including  interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization of purchased intangibles and finance leases, litigation, consulting and other employee costs, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrants, impairment of goodwill, impairment of intangibles and other assets, leadership transition costs, working capital adjustment related to the Kasamba divestiture, IT transformation costs, acquisition and divestiture costs, gain on debt extinguishment, loss on divestiture, and other income, net, which depend on future events that the Company is unable to predict. Depending on the size of these items, they could have a significant impact on the Company's GAAP financial results.

For the third quarter of 2025, we currently expect total revenue to range from $56 million - $59 million or (25)% to (21)% year over year. We currently expect recurring revenue to represent 93% of total revenue. For the third quarter of 2025, we currently expect adjusted EBITDA to range from $(4) million to $(2) million, or a margin of (7.1)% to (3.4)%.

For the full year 2025, we currently expect total revenue to range from $230 million - $240 million or (26)% to (23)% year over year. In addition, we currently expect recurring revenue to represent 93% of total revenue. For the full year 2025, we currently expect adjusted EBITDA to range from $(3) million to $7 million, or a margin of (1.3)% to 2.9%.
