Insights
Strong revenue and cash from IPO offset by heavy one-time GAAP charges.
Andersen delivered solid underlying expansion: 2025 revenue grew 14.6% to $838.7 million, with Adjusted EBITDA of $226.3 million and a 27.0% margin. Client groups, large-account count and headcount all increased, indicating healthy demand and capacity.
GAAP results swung to a $130.2 million net loss, driven mainly by $193.2 million of equity restructuring costs and substantial equity-based compensation tied to the IPO. These charges also created a stockholders’ deficit, while new notes payable to related parties increased leverage.
The December IPO raised net proceeds of $188.2 million, lifting year-end cash and cash equivalents to $250.3 million. Management is emphasizing disciplined growth, acquisitions and technology and AI investments. Future filings discussing 2026 guidance and post-IPO capital deployment will be key to understanding the durability of current margin levels.
