Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Twilio Inc. reported solid growth and a return to full-year profitability for 2025. Revenue reached $1.37 billion in the fourth quarter, up 14% year-over-year, and $5.07 billion for the full year, also up 14%.

For 2025, Twilio generated GAAP income from operations of $157.8 million, reversing a prior-year operating loss, and non-GAAP income from operations of $924.0 million. Full-year free cash flow was $945.4 million, up from $657.5 million in 2024. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $4.89, compared with $3.67 a year earlier.

The company expanded its customer base to more than 402,000 active customer accounts and reported a dollar-based net expansion rate of 108% for 2025. Twilio repurchased about $854.6 million of Class A shares during 2025 and has roughly $1.1 billion remaining under its $2.0 billion authorization.

Looking ahead, Twilio guides first-quarter 2026 revenue to $1.335–$1.345 billion, implying 14–15% reported growth, and expects non-GAAP operating income of $240–$250 million. For 2026, it targets 11.5–12.5% revenue growth, $1.04–$1.06 billion in non-GAAP operating income and $1.04–$1.06 billion in free cash flow.

Positive

  • Return to GAAP profitability with margin expansion: 2025 GAAP income from operations was $157.8 million versus a loss of $53.7 million in 2024, while non-GAAP operating margin improved to 18.2% on $5.07 billion of revenue.
  • Strong and rising free cash flow: Full-year 2025 free cash flow reached $945.4 million with a 19% margin, up from $657.5 million and a 15% margin in 2024, providing substantial financial flexibility.
  • Healthy customer growth and expansion: Active customer accounts grew to more than 402,000, and the dollar-based net expansion rate increased to 108% for 2025, up from 104% in 2024.
  • Ongoing capital returns via buybacks: Twilio repurchased approximately $854.6 million of Class A shares in 2025 and still has about $1.1 billion remaining under its $2.0 billion authorization through December 31, 2027.

Negative

  • GAAP net loss in Q4 and investment write-downs: Despite improved operations, Q4 2025 GAAP net loss was $45.9 million, driven in part by an $80.6 million impairment of an equity method investment and continued losses from that investment.
  • Gross margin compression: GAAP gross margin declined from 51.1% in 2024 to 48.9% in 2025, with non-GAAP gross margin also easing from 53.0% to 50.5%, indicating higher relative cost of revenue.

Insights

Twilio delivers profitable growth with strong cash generation, ongoing buybacks and double-digit 2026 guidance.

Twilio shows a notable shift to profitable scale. 2025 revenue reached $5.07 billion, up 14%, while GAAP income from operations swung to $157.8 million from a prior-year loss. Non-GAAP operating income grew to $924.0 million, lifting the non-GAAP operating margin to 18.2%.

Cash generation strengthened meaningfully. Full-year free cash flow rose to $945.4 million with a 19% margin, supporting capital returns. The company repurchased about $854.6 million of stock in 2025 and still has roughly $1.1 billion remaining under a $2.0 billion authorization.

Operating metrics support the growth story: active customer accounts exceeded 402,000 and the dollar-based net expansion rate reached 108% for 2025. Management guides 2026 revenue growth of 11.5–12.5% with non-GAAP operating income and free cash flow each targeted at $1.04–$1.06 billion. Future filings for 2026 will show how execution tracks these targets.

Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance.

Forward-looking statements contained in this press release and the accompanying conference call include, but are not limited to, statements about: our future financial and operating performance and outlook, including our expected financial and operating results, guidance and targets, including the assumptions underlying such guidance and targets; our anticipated strategies and business plans and our ability to successfully execute them; our ability to drive growth, profitability and free cash flow; our ability to maintain cost discipline and drive operating leverage; future investments and expenses; our expectations regarding carrier fees, and our related actions, and the impact of such fees on our financial and operating performance, including guidance; our expectations regarding our margins, including regarding price actions, product mix and growth in higher-margin products; our expectations regarding capital returns to shareholders, including share repurchases; our expectations regarding revenue from ISVs and self-serve customers; our expectations regarding our cross-sell, upsell and solution selling efforts; our pipeline of new business; the benefits our customers derive from our products; our ability to expand into new and existing markets; our innovation roadmap and the development, release and adoption of our products (and the timing thereof); the effects of our go-to-market efforts to drive profitable growth and capture market share; our expectations related to being a foundational infrastructure layer in the AI era; our expectations regarding seasonal impacts; and our expectations regarding the macroeconomic environment. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, including, among other things: the impact of global economic and political conditions and uncertainties; the accuracy of our forecasts and metrics; fluctuations in our results of operations and the levels of our customers’ usage of our platform; our ability to attract and retain customers and expand their usage of our platform; our ability to develop new products and integrate our products with third-party products effectively; our ability to manage our growth and strategic changes to our business; our ability to compete effectively in intensely competitive markets; the occurrence of and our ability to manage cybersecurity breaches and other incidents impacting our networks and systems or those of our third-party service providers; our ability to manage changes in network service provider fees and optimize our network service provider coverage and connectivity; and our compliance with industry standards, laws and regulations.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release and the accompanying conference call are also subject to additional risks, uncertainties, and factors, including those more fully described in our most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Should any of these risks materialize, or should our assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual financial results could differ materially from our projections or those implied by these forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks and uncertainties may emerge that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release and the accompanying conference call.

reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date on which the statements were made, or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release and the accompanying conference call include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including those listed below. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance, facilitate period-to-period comparisons of results of operations and assist in comparisons with other companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. We believe organic revenue and organic revenue growth are useful in understanding the ongoing results of our operations. We believe free cash flow and free cash flow margin provide useful supplemental information to help investors understand underlying trends in our business and our liquidity.

These non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered substitutes for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included at the end of this press release. We have not provided the forward-looking GAAP equivalents for certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures presented in this press release and the accompanying conference call, 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 forward-looking 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.

Non‑GAAP Gross Profit and Non‑GAAP Gross Margin. For the periods presented, we define non‑GAAP gross profit and non‑GAAP gross margin as GAAP gross profit and GAAP gross margin, respectively, adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles and payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation.

Non‑GAAP Operating Expenses. For the periods presented, we define non‑GAAP operating expenses (including categories of operating expenses) as GAAP operating expenses (and categories of operating expenses) adjusted to exclude, as applicable, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, loss on net assets divested, acquisition and divestiture related expenses, payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation, charitable contributions, restructuring costs, and impairment of long-lived assets.

Non‑GAAP Income (Loss) from Operations and Non‑GAAP Operating Margin. For the periods presented, we define non‑GAAP income (loss) from operations and non‑GAAP operating margin as GAAP income (loss) from operations and GAAP operating margin, respectively, adjusted to exclude, as applicable, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, loss on net assets divested, acquisition and divestiture related expenses, payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation, charitable contributions, restructuring costs, impairment of long-lived assets, and gains or losses on lease termination.

Non‑GAAP Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders and Non‑GAAP Net Income Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders. For the periods presented, we define non-GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders and non‑GAAP net income per share attributable to common stockholders, diluted (which we refer to as “non-GAAP diluted earnings per share”) as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and GAAP net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders, diluted, respectively, adjusted to exclude, as applicable, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, loss on net assets divested, acquisition and divestiture related expenses, losses on impairment of strategic investments, payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation, accretion of debt discount and issuance costs, provision of income tax effects related to non-GAAP adjustments, income tax benefit related to acquisitions, charitable contributions, share of losses from equity method investment, impairment of equity method investment, restructuring costs, impairment of long-lived assets, gains or losses on or impairment of strategic investments, and gains or losses on lease termination.

Organic Revenue. For the periods presented, we define organic revenue as GAAP revenue, excluding (i) revenue from each acquired business and revenue from incremental increases to application-to-person (“A2P”) fees imposed by major U.S. carriers on our core messaging business, in each case until the beginning of the first full quarter following the one-year anniversary of the closing date of such acquisition or the initial date such fees were charged and (ii) revenue from each divested business beginning in the quarter of the closing date of such divestiture; provided that (a) if an acquisition closes or such fees are initially charged on the first day of a quarter, such revenue will be included in organic revenue beginning on the one-year anniversary of the closing date of such acquisition or the initial date such fees were charged and (b) if a divestiture closes on the last day of a quarter, such revenue will be included in organic revenue for that quarter. As used in this definition, A2P fees refers to fees imposed by U.S. mobile carriers for A2P messages delivered to their subscribers, and we pass these fees to our messaging customers at cost.

Organic Revenue Growth. For the periods presented, we calculate organic revenue growth by dividing (i) organic revenue for the period presented less organic revenue in the comparative period by (ii) organic revenue in the comparative period. If revenue from certain acquisitions, divestitures or A2P fees is included or excluded in organic revenue in the period presented, then revenue from the same acquisitions, divestitures and A2P fees is included or excluded in organic revenue in the comparative period for purposes of the organic revenue growth calculation. As a result, organic revenue used in this calculation for the comparative period will not always equal organic revenue reported for the comparative period.

4


Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin. For the periods presented, we define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, excluding capitalized software development costs and purchases of long-lived and intangible assets, and we define free cash flow margin as free cash flow divided by revenue.

Operating Metrics

We review a number of operational and financial metrics, including Active Customer Accounts and Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. These metrics are not based on any standardized industry methodology and are not necessarily calculated in the same manner or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Similarly, these metrics may differ from estimates published by third parties or from similarly titled metrics of our competitors due to differences in methodology. The numbers that we use to calculate Active Customer Accounts and Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate are based on internal data. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable judgments and estimates for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring usage. We regularly review and may adjust our processes for calculating our internal metrics to improve their accuracy. If investors or analysts do not perceive our metrics to be accurate representations of our business, or if we discover material inaccuracies in our metrics, our reputation, business, results of operations, and financial condition would be harmed.

Active Customer Accounts. We define an Active Customer Account at the end of any period as an individual account, as identified by a unique account identifier, for which we have recognized at least $5 of revenue in the last month of the period. A single organization may constitute multiple unique Active Customer Accounts if it has multiple account identifiers, each of which is treated as a separate Active Customer Account. Active Customer Accounts excludes customer accounts from Zipwhip, Inc. (“Zipwhip”). The number of Active Customer Accounts is rounded down to the nearest thousand.

Our business and customer relationships have grown since we began reporting the number of Active Customer Accounts using the above definition, which is anchored to a minimum $5 monthly revenue figure. We have a large number of Active Customer Accounts with relatively low individual spend that in the aggregate do not drive a significant portion of our revenue. Due to this dynamic, we believe that the number of Active Customer Accounts, as currently defined, is less informative now as an indicator of the growth of our business and future revenue trends than it has been in prior periods.

Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate. Our Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate compares the total revenue from all Active Customer Accounts and customer accounts from Zipwhip in a quarter to the same quarter in the prior year. To calculate the Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate, we first identify the cohort of Active Customer Accounts and customer accounts from Zipwhip that were Active Customer Accounts or customer accounts from Zipwhip in the same quarter of the prior year. The Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate is the quotient obtained by dividing the revenue generated from that cohort in a quarter, by the revenue generated from that same cohort in the corresponding quarter in the prior year. When we calculate Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate for periods longer than one quarter, we use the average of the applicable quarterly Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rates for each of the quarters in such period. Revenue from acquisitions does not impact the Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate calculation until the quarter following the one-year anniversary of the applicable acquisition, unless the acquisition closing date is the first day of a quarter. Revenue from divestitures does not impact the Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate calculation beginning in the quarter the divestiture closed, unless the divestiture closing date is the last day of a quarter.

We believe that measuring Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate provides an important indication of the performance of our efforts to increase revenue from existing customers. Our ability to drive growth and generate incremental revenue depends, in part, on our ability to maintain and grow our relationships with existing Active Customer Accounts and to increase their use of the platform. An important way in which we have historically tracked performance in this area is by measuring the Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate for Active Customer Accounts. Our Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate increases when such Active Customer Accounts increase their usage of a product, extend their usage of a product to new applications or adopt a new product. Our Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate decreases when such Active Customer Accounts cease or reduce their usage of a product or when we lower usage prices on a product. As our customers grow their businesses and extend the use of our platform, they sometimes create multiple customer accounts with us for operational or other reasons. As such, when we identify a significant customer organization (defined as a single customer organization generating more than 1% of revenue in a quarterly reporting period) that has created a new Active Customer Account, this new Active Customer Account is tied to, and revenue from this new Active Customer Account is included with, the original Active Customer Account for the purposes of calculating this metric.
