SoundHound AI, a voice and conversational AI company, reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on Feb 26, 2026, in an 8-K, the report a US-listed company files with the SEC when it has news to disclose. The filing carries item 2.02, the item for results of operations, with a press release and financial statements attached. Revenue for the year ended Dec 31, 2025 was $168.9 million, 99% more than the $84.7 million of 2024. Fourth-quarter revenue was $55.1 million, up 59% from $34.5 million a year earlier.1,2,3,4,5,6
On a GAAP basis, the US accounting standard, the company reported net income of $40.1 million for the fourth quarter and a net loss of $14.0 million for the full year, against a net loss of $350.7 million a year earlier. The company said its GAAP results include a gain from revaluing contingent acquisition liabilities, future earn-out shares marked to market every quarter, of $85 million in the fourth quarter and $163 million for the full year 2025, and that its non-GAAP measures leave it out. In the statements attached to the filing, the same line was an expense of $222.7 million in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA, a measure the company defines itself by leaving out items such as stock-based pay and the change in fair value of those liabilities, was a loss of $58.4 million for the year.7,8,9,10,11,12,13
GAAP gross margin for the year was 42.4%, against 48.9% a year earlier; the company's non-GAAP gross margin, which leaves out amortization of intangibles and stock-based pay, was 58.0%. The company said it held $248 million in cash and cash equivalents at Dec 31, 2025, with no debt. The release names Smart Answering, Smart Ordering, Dynamic Drive-Thru and the Amelia Platform, which it says powers AI agents for enterprise, among the company's products. Its list of fourth-quarter business highlights included expanding with Stellantis brands to add live generative AI responses and with Panda Express to reach more drive-thru locations.14,15,16,17,5,18,19,20
CEO Keyvan Mohajer said the company closed a record number of customer deals in the quarter. At the time of the release, the company's full-year 2026 revenue outlook was a range of $225 - $260 million.21,22
The release said its financial data was preliminary and unaudited until the company filed its annual report on Form 10-K, which it did on Mar 2, 2026. On Mar 18, 2026, the company announced in another 8-K that Nitesh Sharan, the chief financial officer quoted in the release, would resign effective Apr 3, 2026, to take a leadership role at a company in the quantum computing space. The same filing named James Hom as interim chief financial officer from that date.23,24,25,26,27,28
