Sabio Inc. Reports Exceptional Revenue Growth in Q2 2025
Sabio Holdings Inc. has just released its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, revealing a stunning 25% year-over-year revenue growth that elevated revenues to a remarkable
US$11.2 million from
US$8.9 million during the same period last year. This marked the company's fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue increase, underscoring a strong trend in its business performance.
Over the first half of the year, Sabio reported total revenues of
US$20.2 million, representing a significant
33% year-over-year growth. This performance was bolstered by a solid
61% gross margin, demonstrating efficient operational management alongside growing revenues.
In the burgeoning domain of ad-supported streaming services, Sabio's revenue in this segment alone saw an
8% increase to a record
US$7.4 million. If we exclude revenue derived from political ad campaigns, this segment experienced a
13% growth, marking it as a thriving area for the company.
Mobile advertising sales surged dramatically, rising by an astounding
88% year-over-year to
US$3.5 million. This increase can largely be attributed to the rising adoption of mobile video and performance marketing strategies, indicating that Sabio is effectively leveraging trends in consumer behavior.
A noteworthy point is that a staggering
92% of the first half revenues came from repeat customers, highlighting the reliability of Sabio's sales model and the trust that brands place in its services. This level of customer retention is key to the predictability of future earnings, which suggests a strong and stable business foundation.
Post-quarter, Sabio strengthened its financial position by successfully retiring all convertible notes through a private placement, securing greater liquidity for future investments. CEO Aziz Rahimtoola emphasized the team's alignment with shareholders through their contributions to this initiative.
