Insights

Rumble shows significant financial improvement with 34% revenue growth and drastically reduced losses, despite post-election user decline.

Rumble's Q1 2025 results demonstrate notable financial momentum amid the typical post-election engagement decline. The 34% revenue growth to $23.7 million is impressive, driven primarily by subscription revenue which increased by $3.6 million. Most striking is the dramatic reduction in net loss to $2.7 million from $43.3 million in Q1 2024, representing a 94% improvement.

The company's user metrics tell an important story. While MAUs declined from 68 million to 59 million quarter-over-quarter following the 2024 election, this represents 87% retention compared to just 60% following the 2022 midterms—suggesting significantly improved platform stickiness. The 13% ARPU decline to $0.34 reflects lower advertising revenue offset partially by subscription growth.

Rumble's balance sheet is exceptionally strong with $318.7 million in liquidity, including $301.3 million cash and 210.82 Bitcoin valued at $17.4 million at quarter-end. The completed Tether investment has solidified their financial position, providing runway and flexibility.

The $22.7 million Adjusted EBITDA loss shows improvement but remains substantial. Notable is the 78% increase in G&A expenses to $16.6 million, though this includes significant one-time costs: $4.8 million related to executive/director departures and $2.3 million in stock option-related taxes from the Tether deal.

With cloud service expansion to government clients like El Salvador and entrance into sports verticals with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers partnership, Rumble is diversifying revenue streams beyond core video content. Management's commitment to reaching Adjusted EBITDA breakeven in 2025 appears increasingly achievable given the dramatically narrowed losses and continued revenue growth.

LONGBOAT KEY, Fla., May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rumble Inc. (Nasdaq: RUM) (“Rumble” or the “Company”), the video-sharing platform and cloud services provider, today announced financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Q1 2025 Key Highlights and Key Items

  • Revenue for the first quarter was $23.7 million, an increase of 34% compared to $17.7 million in the first quarter of 2024.
  • Average global Monthly Active Users (“MAUs”) were 59 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 68 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting 87% retention post 2024 U.S. general election. This compares to 60% retention post 2022 U.S. midterm election.
  • Average Revenue Per User (“ARPU”) for the first quarter of 2025 was $0.34, a decrease of 13% from the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease from the fourth quarter is attributable to lower advertising revenue offset by higher subscription revenue.

  • On February 19, 2025, the Company announced that it had filed a lawsuit along with the Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG—owners of TRUTH Social) against Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, alleging that Justice Moraes violated the free speech protections of the First Amendment when he ordered the suspension of the U.S.-based accounts of a specific well-known, politically outspoken user.
  • On February 25, 2025, the Company announced a ruling by a U.S. federal court that censorship orders from Justice Moraes have no legal force in the United States.

Subsequent Events

  • Announced today that Rumble Cloud entered into a partnership with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, continuing to expand relationships within the NFL.
  • On April 7, 2025, the Company joined Rebel News Network and its founder, Ezra Levant, in suing the government of Canada, Member of Canadian Parliament Ya’ara Saks, and other officials, for conspiring to deprive the plaintiffs of their constitutional right to free expression.

Management Commentary

Rumble's Chairman and CEO, Chris Pavlovski, commented, “Rumble reported strong first-quarter 2025 results, highlighted by 34% year-over-year revenue growth to $23.7 million, driven by increased subscription revenue and monetization across our video and advertising platforms. MAUs of 59 million reflect improved user retention and continued product momentum following the U.S. election cycle. Key partnerships with major brands like Netflix, Crypto.com, and Chevron marked early wins for Rumble advertising, while progress in the Rumble Cloud business included new government and sports vertical clients, such as El Salvador and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With these new announcements and developments on the sales front, we remain energized by the potential for this business. We also further advanced the Rumble Wallet, which we plan to release later this year, supporting our international expansion. With our balance sheet fortified, significant tailwinds supporting our business, and Tether now closed, we have entered a new era for Rumble.”

Q1 Financial Summary (Unaudited)

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 2024 Variance ($)
Variance (%)
        
Revenues$23,706,790$17,733,456$5,973,334 34%
Expenses       
Cost of services (content, hosting and other)$30,036,174$31,828,354$(1,792,180)(6)%
General and administrative 16,633,723 9,322,379 7,311,344 78%
Research and development 4,789,111 4,527,792 261,319 6%
Sales and marketing 3,638,926 3,296,742 342,184 10%

Revenues increased by $6.0 million to $23.7 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, of which $4.6 million is attributable to higher Audience Monetization revenues and $1.4 million was attributable to higher Other Initiatives. The increase in Audience Monetization revenues was due to $3.6 million in higher subscription revenue as well as $1.0 million from tipping fees, licensing, platform hosting, and advertising. The increase in Other Initiative revenue was due to $1.1 million more advertising inventory being monetized by our publisher network and $0.3 million in cloud services offered.

Cost of services decreased by $1.8 million to $30.0 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in programming and content costs of $3.0 million, offset by a $1.2 million increase in other cost of services, including payment processing fees and costs paid to publishers.

General and administrative expenses increased by $7.3 million to $16.6 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase was due to an increase of $5.8 million in payroll and related expenses and $1.5 million in other administrative expenses. The increase in payroll and related expense is primarily driven by: a one-time $4.8 million increase in compensation costs related to the departure of an executive and a director; a one-time $2.3 million increase in payroll taxes associated with stock options exercised related to the tender offer stemming from the strategic investment from Tether; offset by a $1.7 million decrease in share-based compensation related to the recognition of contingent shares issued in connection with the Callin acquisition that were accounted for as a post-combination expense.

Research and development expenses increased by $0.3 million to $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase was due to an increase in payroll and related expenses of $0.4 million, offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in costs related to other expenses used in research and development-related activity.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $0.3 million to $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase was due to an increase of $0.4 million in payroll and related expenses, offset in part by a decrease of $0.1 million in costs associated with other marketing and public relations activities.

Outlook

The Company continues to manage the business moving materially towards Adjusted EBITDA breakeven in 2025. With the new capital raised from Tether, we now have increased optionality to further invest in initiatives that could accelerate and expand our business.

Conference Call Webcast Information

Rumble will host a conference call at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time today, Thursday, May 8, 2025, to discuss its quarterly results. Access to the live webcast and replay of the conference call will be available here and on Rumble's Investor Relations website at investors.rumble.com under 'News & Events.’

Notes on KPIs

Monthly Active Users ("MAUs").

We use MAUs as a measure of audience engagement to help us understand the volume of users engaged with our content on a monthly basis. MAUs represent the total web, mobile app, and connected TV users of Rumble for each month, which allows us to measure our total user base calculated from data provided by Google, a third-party analytics provider. Google defines “active users” as the “[n]umber of distinct users who visited your website or application.” We have used the Google analytics systems since we first began publicly reporting MAU statistics, and the resulting data have not been independently verified.

As of July 1, 2023, Universal Analytics (“UA”), Google’s analytics platform on which we historically relied for calculating MAUs using company-set parameters, was phased out by Google and ceased processing data. At that time, Google Analytics 4 (“GA4”) succeeded UA as Google’s next-generation analytics platform, which has been used to determine MAUs since the third quarter of 2023 and which we expect to continue to use to determine MAUs in future periods. Although Google has disclosed certain information regarding the transition to GA4, Google does not currently make available sufficient information relating to its new GA4 algorithm for us to determine the full effect of the switch from UA to GA4 on our reported MAUs. Because Google has publicly stated that metrics in UA “may be more or less similar” to metrics in GA4, and that “[i]t is not unusual for there to be apparent discrepancies” between the two systems, we are unable to determine whether the transition from UA to GA4 has had a positive or negative effect, or the magnitude of such effect, if any, on our reported MAUs. It is therefore possible that MAUs that we reported based on the UA methodology for periods prior to July 1, 2023, cannot be meaningfully compared to MAUs based on the GA4 methodology in subsequent periods.

Average Revenue Per User (“ARPU”)

We use ARPU as a measure of our ability to monetize our user base. Quarterly ARPU is calculated as quarterly Audience Monetization revenue divided by MAUs for the relevant quarter (the latter as reported by Google Analytics). ARPU does not include Other Initiatives revenue.

Rumble is a high-growth video platform and cloud services provider that is creating an independent infrastructure. Rumble's mission is to restore the internet to its roots by making it free and open once again. For more information, visit corp.rumble.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss) excluding interest income (expense), net, other income (expense), net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, change in fair value of warrants, change in far value of digital assets, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and change in the fair value of derivative. The Company’s management believes that it is important to consider Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to net income (loss), as it helps identify trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the gains and losses that are included in net income (loss) but excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than net income (loss), the nearest GAAP equivalent. As a result of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income (loss) and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release and the associated conference call constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements contained in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements and include, for example, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows (including revenues, operating expenses, and net income (loss)); our ability to meet working capital needs and cash requirements over the next 12 months; and our expectations regarding future results and certain key performance indicators. Certain of these forward-looking statements can be identified by using words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” “targets,” “expects,” “endeavors,” “forecasts,” “could,” “will,” “may,” “future,” “likely,” “on track to deliver,” “continues to,” “looks forward to,” “is primed to,” “plans,” “projects,” “assumes,” “should” or other similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ materially from future results expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this release are based on our current beliefs and expectations of our management as of the date of this release. These statements are not guarantees or indicative of future performance. Important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements include our ability to grow and manage future growth profitably over time, maintain relationships with customers, compete within our industry and retain key employees; the possibility that we may be adversely impacted by economic, business, and/or competitive factors; our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects; our recent and rapid growth may not be indicative of future performance; we may not continue to grow or maintain our active user base, and may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability; risks relating to our ability to attract new advertisers, or the potential loss of existing advertisers or the reduction of or failure by existing advertisers to maintain or increase their advertising budgets; our cloud business may not achieve success, and, as a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected; negative media campaigns may adversely impact our financial performance, results of operations, and relationships with our business partners, including content creators and advertisers; prolonged or escalating trade disputes could materially and adversely impact our business; spam activity, including inauthentic and fraudulent user activity, if undetected, may contribute, from time to time, to some amount of overstatement of our performance indicators; we collect, store, and process large amounts of user video content and personal information of our users and subscribers and, if our security measures are breached, our sites and applications may be perceived as not being secure, traffic and advertisers may curtail or stop viewing our content or using our services, our business and operating results could be harmed, and we could face governmental investigations and legal claims from users and subscribers; our recently implemented Bitcoin treasury strategy exposes us to various risks associated with holding Bitcoin; we may fail to comply with applicable privacy laws, subjecting us to liability and damages; our cloud services business operates in a highly regulated environment, subject to a complex and rapidly evolving array of domestic and international laws, regulations, and industry standards governing data privacy, cybersecurity, data localization, and cross-border data transfers; we are subject to cybersecurity risks and interruptions or failures in our information technology systems and as we grow and gain recognition, we will likely need to expend additional resources to enhance our protection from such risks, although notwithstanding our efforts, a cyber incident could occur and result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial loss; we may be found to have infringed on the intellectual property of others, which could expose us to substantial losses or restrict our operations; we may face liability for hosting a variety of tortious or unlawful materials uploaded by third parties, notwithstanding the liability protections of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996; we may face negative publicity for removing, or declining to remove, certain content, regardless of whether such content violated any law; paid endorsements by our content creators may expose us to regulatory risk, liability, and compliance costs, and, as a result, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations; our traffic growth, engagement, and monetization depend upon effective operation within and compatibility with operating systems, networks, devices, web browsers and standards, including mobile operating systems, networks, and standards that we do not control; our business depends on continued and unimpeded access to our content and services on the internet and, if we or those who engage with our content experience disruptions in internet service, or if internet service providers are able to block, degrade or charge for access to our content and services, we could incur additional expenses and the loss of traffic and advertisers; we face significant market competition, and if we are unable to compete effectively with our competitors for traffic and advertising spend, our business and operating results could be harmed; we rely on data from third parties to calculate certain of our performance metrics and real or perceived inaccuracies in such metrics may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business; changes to our existing content and services could fail to attract traffic and advertisers or fail to generate revenue; we derive the majority of our revenue from advertising and the failure to attract new advertisers, the loss of existing advertisers, or the reduction of or failure by existing advertisers to maintain or increase their advertising budgets would adversely affect our business; we depend on third-party vendors, including internet service providers, advertising networks, and data centers, to provide core services; hosting and delivery costs may increase unexpectedly; we have offered and intend to continue to offer incentives, including economic incentives, to content creators to join our platform, and these arrangements may involve fixed payment obligations that are not contingent on actual revenue or performance metrics generated by the applicable content creator but rather are based on our modeled financial projections for that creator, which if not satisfied may adversely impact our financial performance, results of operations and liquidity; we may be unable to develop or maintain effective internal controls; we have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, and if we are unable to remediate this material weakness, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations; potential diversion of management’s attention and consumption of resources as a result of acquisitions of other companies and success in integrating and otherwise achieving the benefits of recent and potential acquisitions; we may fail to maintain adequate operational and financial resources or raise additional capital or generate sufficient cash flows; changes in tax rates, changes in tax treatment of companies engaged in e-commerce, the adoption of new tax legislation, or exposure to additional tax liabilities may adversely impact our financial results; compliance obligations imposed by new privacy laws, laws regulating online video sharing platforms, other online platforms, and online speech in certain jurisdictions in which we operate, or industry practices may adversely affect our business; and those additional risks, uncertainties and factors described in more detail under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not intend, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation, to update any of our forward-looking statements after the issuance of this release to reflect any future events or circumstances. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
