Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

AppLovin Corporation reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $2.185 billion, up 55% year over year, and net income of $1.439 billion, up 72%. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.842 billion, up 59%, with an 84% margin versus 82% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $1.418 billion; basic and diluted EPS were $4.31 and $4.30.

For fourth-quarter 2026, AppLovin forecast revenue of $2.365 billion to $2.395 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.995 billion to $2.025 billion, with an 84% to 85% margin. It did not provide forward-looking GAAP equivalents or a reconciliation for these non-GAAP guidance measures, citing uncertainty and potential variability in reconciling items. In Q3, it repurchased and withheld 4.1 million Class A shares at a total cost of $1.4 billion. The board increased the authorization by $3.2 billion to $3.6 billion as of the end of October.

Separately, stockholders holding approximately 67% of voting power approved reincorporation from Delaware to Nevada by conversion through written consent on October 29, 2026. AppLovin plans to mail a Schedule 14C to holders of record as of close of business that day and plans to effect the conversion no earlier than 20 calendar days after mailing begins.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Free Cash Flow financial
"net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
net share settlement financial
"withholdings upon net share settlement of vested equity awards"
Net share settlement is a way of paying for financial transactions using only the difference in shares rather than exchanging full amounts of stock or cash. It’s like settling a debt by giving someone the exact number of shares needed to balance the books, making trades quicker and simpler. This method helps reduce the number of shares changing hands, saving time and costs.
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"includes certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
Schedule 14C regulatory
"an information statement on Schedule 14C"
Schedule 14C is an SEC filing that companies use to send an official information statement to shareholders when they are not asking for proxy votes. It lays out key facts about corporate actions—such as reorganizations, related-party transactions, or changes in governance—so investors can understand what’s happening without being asked to vote, like receiving a detailed neighborhood notice about a rule change rather than a petition. Because it provides formal, regulated disclosure, Schedule 14C helps investors verify claims, weigh potential impacts on ownership or value, and hold management accountable.
Revenue $2.185 billion +55% year over year
Net income $1.439 billion +72% year over year
Adjusted EBITDA $1.842 billion +59% year over year
Adjusted EBITDA margin 84% 82% in the prior-year quarter
Guidance

For fourth-quarter 2026, revenue of $2.365 billion to $2.395 billion, Adjusted EBITDA of $1.995 billion to $2.025 billion, and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 84% to 85%. The company did not provide forward-looking GAAP equivalents or a reconciliation for these non-GAAP guidance measures, citing uncertainty and potential variability in reconciling items.

Total cost includes repurchase costs, including commissions, taxes, and fees, as well as cash paid in connection with tax withholding and remittance obligations upon net share settlement. Future repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, including surplus and solvency requirements, and other relevant factors.
2 We have not provided the forward-looking GAAP equivalents for forward-looking non-GAAP metrics, specifically Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, or a GAAP
reconciliation as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as stock-based compensation expense. Accordingly, a reconciliation of
these non-GAAP guidance metrics to their corresponding GAAP equivalents is not available without unreasonable effort. However, it is important to note that material changes to
reconciling items could have a significant effect on future GAAP results. We have provided historical reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP metrics in tables at the end of this press release.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “going to,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, priorities, plans, or intentions. Forward-looking statements in this press release include our expected financial results and guidance and statements regarding our share repurchase program. Our ability to utilize the full amount authorized by our share repurchase program will depend on a variety of factors, including compliance with legal requirements, such as solvency and surplus requirements; contractual restrictions; market conditions; our capital allocation strategy; and our other capital requirements from time to time, including any strategic transactions we may undertake. Over time, we may modify our capital allocation strategy or pursue alternative objectives and strategies. Our expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties, including changes in our plans or assumptions, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks include our inability to forecast our business effectively, the macroeconomic environment, fluctuations in our results of operations, our ability to execute on our operational and financial priorities, our ability to scale our business to support new customers, the competitive advertising ecosystem, and our inability to adapt to emerging technologies and business models. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those more fully described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026. Additional information will also be set forth in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this press release includes certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Free Cash Flow. A reconciliation of each such non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure can be found below.
We define Adjusted EBITDA for a particular period as net income adjusted for loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, interest expense, other (income) expense, net (excluding certain recurring items), provision for income taxes, amortization, depreciation and write-offs and as further adjusted for non-operating foreign exchange gain, stock-based compensation, transaction-related expense and other, restructuring costs (benefits), as we believe these items are not reflective of our core operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue for the same period.

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and principal payments on finance leases. We subtract both purchases of property and equipment and payment of finance leases in our calculation of Free Cash Flow because we believe these items represent our ongoing requirements for property and equipment to support our business, regardless of whether we utilize a finance lease to obtain such property or equipment.

We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations and operating performance, as they are similar to measures reported by our public competitors and are regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors, and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are key measures we use to assess our financial performance and are also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are helpful to investors, analysts, and other interested parties because they can assist in providing a more consistent and comparable overview of our operations across our historical financial periods. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. We use Free Cash Flow in addition to GAAP measures to help manage our business and prepare budgets and annual planning, and we believe Free Cash Flow provides useful supplemental information to help investors understand underlying trends in our business and our liquidity.

These measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our consolidated statement of operations that are necessary to run our business. Free Cash Flow reflects cash flows from both of continuing and discontinued operations. Our definitions may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. Thus, our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
