Tucows Reports Strong Fiscal 2025 Results; Beats Guidance

PR Newswire

TORONTO, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Tucows Inc. (NASDAQ: TCX) (TSX: TC), a global internet services leader, today reported its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. All figures are in U.S. dollars.

"2025 was a strong execution year for Tucows with improved profitability across the company," said David Woroch, CEO of Tucows. "For the full year, revenue increased 8% versus 2024, supported by contributions from all three businesses, and gross profit rose 13%, driven by improved economics at Wavelo, continued margin expansion in Domains, and reduced network expenses at Ting. We generated $50.6 million in Adjusted EBITDA—up 45% year over year—and exceeded our 2025 guidance by $3.6 million, led by outperformance in Domains and Wavelo. We remain focused on strengthening the business through operational and capital efficiency initiatives, and with the ongoing Ting strategic process, we believe we are building a more resilient earnings profile and a stronger foundation for long-term value."

Financial Results

Consolidated net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 6.0% to $98.7 million from $93.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, driven by revenue gains from all three Tucows businesses.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 14% to $24.1 million from $21.2 million from the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in gross profit was driven by strong year-over-year margin gains from Wavelo and Tucows Domains, as well as a decrease in network expenses at Ting.

Net loss for the fourth quarter was $22.0 million ($1.98 per share), compared with a net loss of $42.5 million ($3.86 per share) in Q4 2024. Adjusted net loss¹ was $19.2 million (adjusted EPS¹ of ($1.73)) in Q4 2025 versus $15.8 million (adjusted EPS¹ of $(1.43)) in Q4 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the fourth quarter of 2025 came down 14% to $11.1 million from $12.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year difference was driven primarily by obligations associated with our legacy mobile business.  

We ended the fourth quarter of 2025 with cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents of $64.2 million. This compares with $70.8 million at the end of the third quarter of 2025 and $73.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.

Notes: 

1. Tucows reports all financial information required in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Along with this information, to assist financial statement users in an assessment of our historical performance, the Company discloses non-GAAP financial measures in press releases and on investor conference calls and related events, as the Company believes that the non-GAAP information enhances investors' overall understanding of our financial performance, and should be read in addition to, rather than instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies and/or analysts and may differ from period to period. The Company endeavors to compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income based on U.S. GAAP; Adjusted net income to GAAP net income; and adjusted basic earnings per share to GAAP basic earnings per share, which should be considered when evaluating the Company's results. Tucows strongly encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company believes that the provision of this supplemental non-GAAP measure allows investors to evaluate the operational and financial performance of the Company's core business using similar evaluation measures to those used by management. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure its performance and prepare its budgets. Since Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure, the Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA is calculated before certain recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a liquidity measure.

The Company's Adjusted EBITDA definition excludes depreciation, impairment and loss on disposition of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, income tax provision, interest expense (net), stock-based compensation, asset impairment, gains and losses from unrealized foreign currency transactions, loss on debt extinguishment and costs that are not indicative of on-going performance (profitability), including acquisition and transition costs. Gains and losses from unrealized foreign currency transactions removes the unrealized effect of the change in the mark-to-market values on outstanding unhedged foreign currency contracts, as well as the unrealized effect from the translation of monetary accounts denominated in non-U.S. dollars to U.S. dollars.

The following table reconciles net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands of US dollars):

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Basic Earnings Per Common Share (Adjusted EPS)

The Company believes that the provision of this supplemental non-GAAP measure allows investors to best evaluate our operating results and understand the operating trends of our core business without the effect of acquisition and transition costs, impairment expenses and losses on extinguishment of debt. Acquisition and transition costs represent transaction-related expenses and transitional expenses. Expenses include severance or transitional costs associated with department, operational or overall company restructuring efforts, including geographic alignments. Since adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial performance measures, the Company's calculation of adjusted net income and adjusted EPS may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company's adjusted net income and adjusted EPS definitions exclude from the calculation of reported GAAP net income and GAAP EPS, the effect of the following items: impairment of property and expenses, acquisition and transition costs (including restructuring charges) and loss on debt extinguishment.
