Insights

Financial Analyst

Rezolve's 426% revenue growth and 95.8% margins show extraordinary SaaS execution with clear path to $500M ARR.

Rezolve's H1 results reveal exceptional financial execution across all key metrics. Revenue of $6.3M exceeded analyst consensus by 23.5% while demonstrating staggering 426% YoY growth. Even more impressive is the 95.8% gross margin – dramatically outperforming the 60-70% analyst expectations and positioning Rezolve among the elite SaaS businesses globally.

The company has secured over $90M in ARR year-to-date with visibility to exit 2025 at $150M ARR minimum, suggesting powerful sales momentum. The 2026 guidance of $500M ARR exit rate represents a 233% expected growth rate and signals management's extraordinary confidence in their pipeline conversion.

The financial picture is further strengthened by two Q3 financings totaling $250M, leaving Rezolve with approximately $230M in cash. This provides significant runway for both organic growth and potential acquisitions, eliminating near-term funding concerns despite the current $17.7M quarterly EBITDA burn.

With over 100 enterprise customers including major global brands, Rezolve has demonstrated product-market fit in the enterprise AI commerce space. Their partnerships with Microsoft and Google provide both technical infrastructure and powerful distribution channels that should accelerate enterprise adoption. The company's Brain Suite technology appears to be gaining traction as infrastructure for AI-powered commerce, with validation through 1.6 billion search sessions and 13 billion API calls processed year-to-date.

Most significant is Rezolve's transition from high growth to hypergrowth, with enterprise customers doubling since June while maintaining elite gross margins that suggest minimal marginal costs as revenue scales.

NEW YORK, Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rezolve Ai (NASDAQ: RZLV), a leader in proprietary AI-powered commerce solutions and a partner of Microsoft, Google and Tether, today announced first half 2025 results that materially outperformed analyst expectations, underscoring the Company’s accelerating momentum with global enterprises and its expanding role as the AI engine of commerce.

Enterprise Adoption Accelerates
Rezolve’s Brain Suite spanning Brain Commerce and Brain Checkout is live with over 100 enterprise customers worldwide. Customers include Ferrero, Bright Bean Toys, Cineplex, H&M, ASOS, Myntra, Office Depot, Rakuten Group, Rebag, The Container Store, Urban Outfitters, Mango, Warehouse Group, New Era, Philz Coffee, Men’s Warehouse, and WB Mason. On the professional services side, Rezolve is now working with Cognizant, Wipro, Tata Consulting Services, PwC and others.

Consistent with Rezolve’s Professional Services strategy, this division is also providing significant implementation resources to Brain Suite clients as they deploy Rezolve technologies at scale.

The Brain Suite is designed to enable Agentic Commerce, giving enterprises the ability to deploy autonomous AI agents that can search, transact, fulfill, and personalize in real time, defining the next era of enterprise commerce.

“Rezolve Ai is building the indispensable infrastructure for the age of Agentic Commerce,” said Daniel M. Wagner, Founder & CEO of Rezolve Ai. “Since the first half of 2025, we have doubled enterprise adoption, delivered SaaS margins among the very best in the industry, and secured a clear path to exit the year at or above $150 million ARR. With our Brain Suite being Agentic Commerce ready and with the backing of partners like Microsoft and Google, we are at the forefront of the AI revolution. With durable ARR growth, an expanding roster of blue-chip customers and our roadmap now extending to a $500 million ARR exit in 2026, combined with new digital asset capabilities coming to Brain Checkout, Rezolve is positioned to lead the next decade of commerce innovation. With brainpowa now validated through rigorous benchmark testing as competitive with leading public models like GPT-4 and Claude, and demonstrating effectively zero hallucinations, we are proving the strength, safety, and reliability of Rezolve’s technology for enterprises worldwide.”

Explosive Scale Across Retail AI
In the first eight months of 2025 alone, Rezolve’s Ai infrastructure has:

• Powered more than 1.6 billion search and browse sessions globally.
• Processed over 13 billion API calls across its Brain Commerce search and discovery platform.
• Reached 53.9 million consumer devices with its SDK, generating 27.8 million monthly geofence events and powering nearly 200,000 ETA predictions per month.
  

With enterprise adoption doubling to more than 100 enterprise customers since June, Rezolve has rapidly expanded its footprint as the indispensable AI infrastructure behind global commerce.

Strategic Partnerships Driving Scale
Rezolve’s growth is further reinforced by its partnerships with Microsoft and Google, which provide both global cloud infrastructure and extensive go-to-market resources. Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud enable Rezolve’s brainpowa LLM and commerce applications at enterprise scale, while their co-sell programs accelerate distribution to enterprises worldwide. Together, these partnerships accelerate Rezolve’s mission to democratize AI for commerce globally.

Looking ahead, Rezolve expects to make significant progress in implementing its strategy to embed digital asset capabilities into its Brain Checkout solutions in this quarter, further cementing Rezolve’s leadership at the intersection of AI, commerce, and next-generation payments.

brainpowa Whitepaper Validates Competitive, Safe, and Reliable Performance
Rezolve has also published a new whitepaper and technical evaluation report, produced by Dr. Salman Ahmad, Rezolve’s Chief Technology Officer, and his team, demonstrating that the brainpowa models perform competitively against leading public LLMs while delivering superior latency, safety, and domain accuracy in commerce-specific tasks. In arena comparisons, brainpowa models achieved win rates of up to 100% against GPT-4, Claude, and Mistral in empathy, contextual relevance, and coherence, while operating more efficiently on smaller GPU footprints. In particular, the brainpowa empathetic-128K and single-GPU 27B models outperformed GPT-4 and Claude in retention-focused and multi-turn eCommerce scenarios delivering unmatched empathy, contextual accuracy, and conversational coherence for enterprise commerce applications. The report further highlights brainpowa’s effectively zero hallucination rates in benchmark testing, underscoring its reliability for enterprise deployment. The full whitepaper is available for download https://rezolve.com/reports/brainpowa-redefining-ecommerce-ai-with-compact-empathetic-and-hallucination-free-models/.

Strengthened Balance Sheet
Following two financings in Q3 totaling $250 million, Rezolve ends September with approximately $230 million in cash on its balance sheet, positioning the company to accelerate global sales expansion and pursue accretive acquisitions. These acquisitions not only expand Rezolve’s global footprint but also provide significant upsell opportunities into the Brain Suite. With the right products in place, Rezolve is executing aggressively to consolidate enterprise AI-commerce infrastructure and cement its leadership in a market that is rapidly scaling worldwide.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1996. The actual results of Rezolve AI plc (“Rezolve”) may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect”, “estimate”, “project”, “budget”, “forecast”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “believes”, “predicts”, “potential”, “continue”, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Rezolve’s expectations with respect to anticipated annual recurring revenue. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of Rezolve’s Annual Report on Form 20-F and its subsequent filings made with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside Rezolve’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) competition, the ability of Rezolve to grow and manage growth profitably, and retain its management and key employees; (2) changes in applicable laws or regulations; and (3) weakness in the economy, market trends, uncertainty and other conditions in the markets in which Rezolve operates, and other factors beyond its control, such as inflation or rising interest rates. Rezolve cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive and not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, including projections, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by applicable law, Rezolve does not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances, or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, which include Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, to supplement our consolidated financial statements as we believe these measures can provide meaningful information regarding our performance. These non-GAAP measures should be evaluated in addition to and not as a substitute for our financial results, which are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), aka “ARR Exit Rate” as considered by the Company, is defined as the annualized value of contractual monthly recurring revenue from customers on the last date of an applicable period. A contract is included in ARR for an applicable period if it is active at the end of that applicable period and is excluded if it is not active at the end of that applicable period. This measure includes revenue from subscription contracts as well as recurring professional services agreements. While ARR represents the annualized revenue the Company would expect to receive from customers assuming no increases or reductions in contractual arrangements, the measure can be affected by contract start and end dates and should be viewed independently of the Company’s GAAP revenue as ARR is an operating metric and is not intended to be combined with or to replace revenue. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue and does not consider other sources of revenue that are not recurring in nature. ARR does not have a standardized meaning and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense, income tax, depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of acquired intangibles. EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses); share-based compensation related to employees, consultants and related parties; loss (gain) resulting from the remeasurement of derivative assets and derivative liabilities at fair value at the end of each reporting period; loss (gain) resulting from the extinguishment of debt obligations; loss (gain) resulting from the remeasurement of financial assets carried at fair value; ordinary shares issued in lieu of cash payment for services; ordinary shares issued to Radio Group to settle termination of any acquisition in Germany; legal costs incurred in connection with the Company’s SPAC transaction; costs related to the demerger of Rezolve Limited; legal and professional costs associated with acquisitions; and, costs incurred within business development expenses to close former businesses. Although it is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations which we compensate by providing a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to understand and track underlying earnings performance by excluding one-time and non-recurring costs.
