Unity (NYSE: U), the world's leading game engine, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
"Fourth quarter results once again comfortably exceeded the high-end of our guidance, led by exceptional performance from Vector, which experienced its third consecutive quarter of mid-teen sequential revenue growth, and the best growth we've seen in Create in over two years," said Matt Bromberg, President and CEO of Unity.
"With Vector demonstrating rapid growth and Unity 6 adoption at the fastest rate we've ever experienced, our goal of becoming the essential infrastructure for the next generation of interactive entertainment is coming into clear focus."

Revenue
Revenue was $503 million, up 10% year-over-year.
Create Solutions revenue was $165 million, up 8% year-over-year. The increase was driven by strong growth in subscription revenue.
Grow Solutions revenue was $338 million, up 11% year-over-year. The change was driven by mid-teen sequential quarterly revenue growth from Unity Vector, which represented 56% of total Grow Solutions revenue in the fourth quarter. The growth was partially offset by declines in the IronSource Ad Network, which represented 11% of total Grow Solutions revenue in the fourth quarter.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per share
Basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.21, as compared to $0.30 for the same period in 2024.
Net Loss and Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net loss for the quarter was $89 million, compared to $123 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Net loss margin was (18)%, compared to (27)% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $121 million, compared to $112 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted EPS
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $125 million, with a margin of 25%, compared to $106 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, with a margin of 23%. The year-over-year improvement was driven by better cost control and higher revenue.
Free cash flow for the quarter was $119 million, compared to $106 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EPS for the quarter was $0.24, compared to $0.20 in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Liquidity
As of December 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash was $2,064 million, and increased by $536 million, as compared with $1,528 million as of December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by our operations, and proceeds from issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options and purchase of ESPP shares, offset by the net cash outflows from our debt refinancing.
Q1 2026 Guidance 1
We expect First Quarter Revenue of $480 million to $490 million.
- In Grow, we expect revenue to be flat on a sequential basis.
- In Create, we expect double digit year-over-year revenue growth (excluding the impact of non-strategic revenue).
We expect First Quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $105 million to $110 million.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe, when taken collectively, they may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance.
However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. As a result, our non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.
We define adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income or loss excluding benefits or expenses associated with stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation, restructurings and reorganizations, interest, income tax, and other non-operating activities, which primarily consist of foreign exchange rate gains or losses. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. We define adjusted gross profit as GAAP gross profit excluding expenses associated with stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation, and restructurings and reorganizations. We define adjusted gross margin as adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue.
We define adjusted cost of revenue as GAAP cost of revenue, excluding expenses associated with stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation, and restructurings and reorganizations. We define adjusted research and development expense as research and development expense, excluding expenses associated with stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation, and restructurings and reorganizations. We define adjusted sales and marketing expense as GAAP sales and marketing expense, excluding expenses associated with stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation, and restructurings and reorganizations. We define adjusted general and administrative expense as general and administrative expense excluding expenses associated with stock-based compensation, depreciation, and restructurings and reorganizations. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment.
We define adjusted EPS as net income or loss excluding benefits or expenses associated with stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation, restructurings and reorganizations, and the income tax impact of the preceding adjustments (cumulatively "adjusted net income"), increased by the tax effected impacts from any relevant dilutive securities, divided by the diluted weighted-average outstanding shares. The effective tax rate used in calculating adjusted EPS is estimated for each period, based on the net income or loss adjusted for the items noted above, and may differ from the effective rate used in our financial statements. Shares of common stock that are excluded in our calculation of GAAP diluted net loss per share due to their antidilutive impact on such calculations, are included in the diluted weighted average outstanding shares used in our calculation of adjusted EPS, to the extent they have a dilutive impact on adjusted EPS given the adjusted net income in each period.
