Insights

Opera delivered exceptional Q2 2025 results with 30% revenue growth and raised full-year guidance, driven by advertising and search revenue strength.

Opera's Q2 2025 financial performance has significantly exceeded expectations, with revenue growing 30% year-over-year to $143.0 million, surpassing their guidance range. This impressive growth was primarily fueled by a 44% increase in advertising revenue to $92.9 million (representing 65% of total revenue) and an 11% rise in search revenue to $49.6 million.

The company's profitability metrics show a nuanced picture. While adjusted EBITDA increased 21% to $32.1 million with a 22% margin (exceeding guidance), net income decreased 19% to $15.7 million. This decline in net income appears largely attributable to a substantial 354% increase in share-based compensation expenses to $8.8 million following the granting of approximately 1.9 million share-equivalent RSUs earlier in 2025.

Particularly impressive is Opera's cash generation capability, with net cash flow from operating activities at $33.1 million (representing 103% of adjusted EBITDA) and free cash flow from operations at $29.1 million (91% of adjusted EBITDA). This demonstrates exceptional operational efficiency and strong underlying business fundamentals.

The company's user metrics also show healthy growth, with 289 million average monthly active users and annualized average revenue per user (ARPU) increasing 35% year-over-year to $1.97. This ARPU expansion indicates Opera is successfully monetizing its user base, likely through its focus on higher-ARPU regions.

Based on this strong performance, Opera has raised its full-year 2025 guidance, now projecting revenue of $585-597 million (representing approximately 23% year-over-year growth) with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 23%. The company has demonstrated resilience in a volatile environment, with management noting that "the expansion of global opportunities offset the impact of tariff-related headwinds in the United States."

The company's strategic focus on AI innovation, particularly with the announcement of Opera Neon (an "agentic browser"), positions it to potentially capitalize on the growing AI trend. Additionally, the success of MiniPay with over 9 million activated wallets suggests Opera is effectively diversifying its business beyond traditional browser services.

Revenue grew 30% year-over-year to $143.0 million, and exceeded the guidance range

Adjusted EBITDA of $32.1 million, a 22% margin, also exceeded the guidance range

Opera yet again raises growth expectations, guiding full-year revenue of $585 � 597 million with 23% adjusted EBITDA margin at the midpoints

OSLO, Norway, Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --Opera Limited (NASDAQ: OPRA), a leading global browser and AI agent company, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

"Our strong second quarter results, with both revenue and adjusted EBITDA surpassing expectations, were fueled by continued momentum in AI powered intent-based advertising, in particular for e-commerce, and an acceleration to double-digit growth in search revenue. Our financial results and solid balance sheet provide a strong foundation as we continue to develop the world's most innovative web browsers," said co-CEO Lin Song.

"In May we announced Opera Neon, a new agentic browser that redefines the role and productivity potential of the browser. With its native and fully-integrated AI agent, Opera Neon combines advanced reasoning and summarization with seamless access to user context, unlocking a transformative browsing experience that doesn't just execute tasks, but understands and anticipates them. With 30 years of pioneering web productivity, and scale far greater than most web-based AI platforms, we will make AI widely accessible, naturally integrated, and with immediate productivity benefits for our users," continued Mr. Song.

"We saw significant acceleration in our revenue in the second half of last year, followed by unprecedented sequential growth from the seasonal peak of the fourth quarter of last year into the first quarter of this year. In this most recent quarter, we saw the expansion of global opportunities offset the impact of tariff-related headwinds in the United States," said Frode Jacobsen, CFO.

"Our rapidly scaling advertising revenue has proven to be resilient in an otherwise volatile environment. We also saw search revenue return to double-digit growth as expected, which adds to our ability to significantly raise our guidance for the year," continued Mr. Jacobsen.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

Opera's management will host a conference call to discuss the second quarter 2025 financial results at 8:00 a.m. ET today. The live webcast of the conference call can be accessed at our investor relations website at , along with the earnings press release and financial tables. Following the call, a replay will be available at the same website.

We also provide announcements on our investor relations website at regarding our financial performance and other matters, including SEC filings, press releases, slide presentations, business blog posts and information on corporate governance.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

In addition to revenue, net income, net cash flow from operating activities and other financial measures presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, we use adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted earnings per share and free cash flow from operations to manage our business, make planning decisions, evaluate our performance, and allocate resources. We believe adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our financial performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results. We believe free cash flow from operations provides useful information regarding our ability to generate cash from business operations that is available for acquisitions and other investments, and for distributions to our shareholders, even though free cash flow from operations does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.

We define adjusted net income as net income excluding (i) profit (loss) from discontinued operations, (ii) gain (loss) on investments in unconsolidated entities, (iii) non-recurring expenses, (iv) impairment of non-financial assets, (v) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (vi) share-based compensation expenses, and (vii) the income tax effect of these adjustments. Adjusted net income margin is calculated as adjusted net income divided by revenue, whereas adjusted diluted earnings per share is calculated as adjusted net income divided by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding (i) profit (loss) from discontinued operations, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) net finance income (expense), (iv) gain (loss) on long-term investments in unconsolidated entities, (v) non-recurring expenses, (vi) impairment of non-financial assets, (vii) depreciation and amortization, (viii) share-based compensation expenses, and (ix) other operating income. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

We define free cash flow from operations as net cash flows from (used in) operating activities less (i) purchases of fixed and intangible assets, (ii) development expenditure and (iii) payment of lease liabilities.

We believe the non-IFRS financial measures defined above are useful to investors both because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and because they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business. However, these non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Our calculations of adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted earnings per share and free cash flow from operations may differ from similarly-titled non-IFRS measures, if any, reported by our peers. In addition, the non-IFRS financial measures may be limited in their usefulness because they do not present the full economic effects of certain items of income, expenses and cash flows. We compensate for these limitations by providing reconciliations of our non-IFRS financial measures to the most closely related financial measures in IFRS Accounting Standards in the section titled "Reconciliations of Non-IFRS Financial Measures" included at the end of this earnings press release. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view our reported non-IFRS financial measures in conjunction with net income and net cash flow from operating activities.
