CapyFin.com Forward Guidance
Duolingo provided guidance for Q3 2025 bookings of $268.5–$272.5 M, revenue of $257–$261 M, and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 27–28%, and for FY 2025 bookings of $1,149–$1,157 M, revenue of $1,011–$1,019 M, and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 28.5–29%.
Positive Outlook
- We expect Q3 revenue to grow 34% YoY, or 35% constant currency, at midpoint.
- Our guidance assumes exchange rates as of July 31, 2025, with each 1% dollar move impacting bookings by ~$3 M.
- We now expect FY 2025 gross margin to decline ~100 bps YoY, an improvement from prior guidance.
- We raised full-year Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to 28.75% midpoint, up ~310 bps YoY and ~80 bps above prior guidance.
- For Q3, we are guiding to an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 27.5% at midpoint.
Challenges Ahead
- FY 2025 gross margin is still expected to decline, indicating higher AI costs relative to last year.
- Profitability is expected to step down slightly in H2 as some outperformance is reinvested.
- Fully diluted share count is projected to increase by about 1% in 2025.
- Currency fluctuations pose a risk, as a 1% change in the dollar impacts bookings by approximately $3 M.
- Q3 bookings growth guidance of 27.0–28.9% may represent a slowdown relative to Q2’s 41% growth.
