Insights

Mixed quarter: underlying revenue weakness contrasts with improved margins and a one-time gain, leaving near-term outlook cautious.

The company reported total revenue of $60.2 million for the quarter, a decline of 19.0%, while trailing-twelve-month ARPC rose 5.6% to $665,000, and adjusted EBITDA was positive at $4.8 million. The revenue drop appears driven by customer cancellations and downsells despite net deal activity of 28 contracts (26 expansions/renewals and 2 new logos), indicating concentrated retention pressures alongside higher value per remaining customer.

Results benefited from a $27.7 million gain on a troubled debt restructuring, which materially swung GAAP net income to $8.7 million. Cash declined to $106.7 million from $183.2 million at year-end, and guidance for Q4 shows revenue of $50.5 - $55.5 million (year-over-year (31)% to (24)%) with adjusted EBITDA of $(0.3) - $4.7 million. These facts point to improved cost discipline and margin focus but a reliance on nonrecurring items and continued top-line contraction.

Watch the following near-term items through the next quarter: whether recurring revenue stays at the guided ~93% of total, actual Q4 revenue relative to the $50.5 - $55.5 million range, and free cash flow trends given the reduced cash balance. Also monitor renewal cadence and new-logo traction versus reported deal mix; sustained ARPC gains will need consistent expansion activity to offset cancellations. The overall impact is neutral until sustained revenue stabilization or repeatable GAAP earnings emerge.

-- Total Revenue of $60.2 million, above the high end of our guidance range --

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

NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LivePerson, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPSN) ("LivePerson" the "Company", "we" or "us"), a leading provider of predictable conversational AI and digital transformation, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Third Quarter Highlights

Total revenue was $60.2 million for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of 19.0% as compared to the same period last year, driven primarily by customer cancellations and downsells.

LivePerson signed 28 deals in total for the third quarter, consisting of 26 existing and 2 new customers. Trailing-twelve-months average revenue per enterprise and mid-market customer (ARPC) increased 5.6% for the third quarter to $665,000, 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.

"This quarter, we delivered on our commitment to strengthen LivePerson's financial foundation, providing renewed customer confidence and supporting key enterprise renewals and new growth opportunities. Our progress is further fueled by continued product innovation, including our expanded partnership with Google and the exciting launch of Conversation Simulator, which we believe represents a significant new opportunity. With our financial foundation stabilized and commercial traction building, we are in a strong position to continue to execute our strategy," said John Sabino, LivePerson's CEO.

"In the third quarter, we strengthened our capital structure and rationalized costs, building a path towards producing sustainable free cash flow. Simultaneously, we continued to deliver value for customers with on-schedule GCP migrations and product innovation in the form of Conversation Simulator. Collectively, we believe these milestones have positioned LivePerson to continue building commercial traction going forward," said John Collins, CFO and COO.

Customer Expansion

During the third quarter, the Company signed 28 total deals for the quarter, including 26 expansion and renewals and 2 new logo deals.

Expansions and renewals included:

  • A leading U.S. health plan provider;
  • A leading amusement park and entertainment company; and
  • Sanlam, a leading South African financial services group.

New logos included a global industrial company.

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

Net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $8.7 million or $0.98 per share1, as compared to net loss of $28.3 million or $4.74 per share for the third quarter of 2024. This change is primarily driven by a $27.7 million gain on the troubled debt restructuring in the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted operating loss, a non-GAAP financial metric, for the third quarter of 2025 was $0.7 million, as compared to adjusted operating income of less than $0.1 million for the third 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, gain on troubled debt restructuring, gain on debt extinguishment, 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, loss on divestiture, and other expense (income), net.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the third quarter of 2025 was $4.8 million as compared to adjusted EBITDA of $7.3 million for the third 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, gain on troubled debt restructuring, gain on debt extinguishment, 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, loss on divestiture, and other expense (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."

_________________________

1 All historical share and per share amounts for the periods prior to the completion on October 13, 2025 of the 1:15 reverse stock split have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company's cash balance was $106.7 million at September 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, gain on troubled debt restructuring, gain on debt extinguishment, impairment of goodwill, impairment of intangibles and other assets, leadership transition costs, IT transformation costs, acquisition and divestiture costs, loss on divestiture, and other expense (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 fourth quarter of 2025, we currently expect total revenue to range from $50.5 million - $55.5 million or (31)% to (24)% year over year. We currently expect recurring revenue to represent 93% of total revenue. For the fourth quarter of 2025, we currently expect adjusted EBITDA to range from $(0.3) million to $4.7 million, or a margin of (0.6)% to 8.5%.

For the full year 2025, we currently expect total revenue to range from $235 million - $240 million or (25)% 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 $7.5 million to $12.5 million, or a margin of 3.2% to 5.2%.
