40 consecutive quarters of record revenue. ARR at $40M growing 9% year-over-year. 131,000+ customers. DOJ enforcement making web accessibility compliance legally mandatory. $9.1M in adjusted EBITDA for FY2025, up 35%.
AudioEye reported $40.3M in revenue for fiscal year 2025. 15 percent year-over-year growth. Q4 2025 was the fortieth consecutive quarter of record revenue. ARR stood at $40.0M at December 31, 2025, up 9 percent from $36.6M a year earlier. Enterprise revenue grew 21 percent year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA came in at $9.1M for the full year, up 35 percent. GAAP net loss narrowed 28 percent to $3.1M from $4.3M. Q4 2025 gross margin was 79 percent on a GAAP basis and 85 percent adjusted.
The regulatory demand structure is the most durable part of the thesis. The DOJ finalized rules in April 2024 requiring state and local government websites to comply with WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards. ADA Title III litigation targeting private sector websites has been accelerating since 2021. The enforcement calendar is real and expanding. AudioEye sells the compliance solution. The 131,000 customers already on the platform generate recurring subscription revenue. The pipeline is every business that has not yet been cited or threatened.
The Human Translation: The Fire Extinguisher Company After the Fire Marshal Started Inspecting. The DOJ is the fire marshal. Web accessibility compliance is the fire extinguisher. AudioEye makes the extinguisher. The fire marshal started systematic inspections. Every business that fails the inspection needs AudioEye's product. The 131,000 existing customers passed. The pipeline is every business that has not yet been tested.
The 2026 outlook is constructive. Management guided for adjusted EBITDA of at least 30 percent growth and an exit run-rate of $15M by year-end. That implies EBITDA approaching $12M for the full year. The path from adjusted EBITDA profitability to GAAP profitability becomes visible at that scale. The net loss is narrowing systematically.
ARR growing at 9 percent annually on a $40M base with 79 percent gross margins and 35 percent EBITDA growth is a compounding machine. The key risk is whether the DOJ enforcement calendar continues to expand or faces political headwinds. The product works independent of regulatory pressure; but the regulatory tailwind is what makes 40 consecutive record quarters possible.
The unit economics of the AudioEye model are structurally attractive. The platform monitors and remediates accessibility issues on customer websites automatically using a combination of AI-powered detection and managed services. Once a customer installs the AudioEye solution, it runs continuously; scanning for new accessibility barriers as website content changes, remediating issues in real time, and generating compliance documentation. The customer pays a monthly subscription fee that varies by website traffic and complexity. The cost to serve each incremental customer is marginal because the platform is software-driven; the same AI engine that monitors one website can monitor ten thousand. This is classic SaaS unit economics: high gross margins, low incremental cost, and recurring revenue that compounds as the customer base grows.
The competitive landscape includes UserWay, accessiBe, and Level Access, among others. AudioEye differentiates on two dimensions: depth of remediation and legal defensibility. Some competitors offer overlay solutions that modify the visual presentation of a website without fixing the underlying code; an approach that accessibility advocates have criticized and that has been challenged in litigation. AudioEye approach combines automated fixes with human audit capabilities and provides compliance documentation that can be used in legal defense if a customer is challenged under ADA Title III. For enterprise customers; who face the highest litigation risk and the most reputational exposure; the depth and legal defensibility of the solution is the purchasing criterion, not the price.
The enterprise customer segment deserves particular attention because it drives disproportionate revenue per account. Enterprise revenue grew 21 percent year-over-year in FY2025; faster than overall revenue growth of 15 percent. Enterprise customers pay higher subscription fees because their websites are larger, more complex, and face greater regulatory and litigation exposure. The enterprise sales cycle is longer but the lifetime value is dramatically higher. If enterprise revenue continues to outpace SMB revenue growth, the average revenue per customer increases and the company total addressable market within its existing customer base expands. This is the land-and-expand dynamic that the best SaaS companies use to grow revenue without proportionally growing customer acquisition costs.
The 40 consecutive quarters of record revenue is a statistic that deserves to be evaluated on its own terms. Forty consecutive quarters means ten years of uninterrupted growth; through COVID shutdowns, through the 2022 tech selloff, through interest rate hikes, through every macro headwind that has disrupted other SaaS businesses. This consistency is not accidental. It reflects a product that addresses a need that does not go away in recessions, does not lose relevance during pandemics, and does not get disrupted by AI; in fact, AI makes the product better because AudioEye uses machine learning to automate the accessibility remediation process. The durability of this growth record is the strongest evidence that the demand for web accessibility is structural rather than cyclical. Businesses do not stop needing accessible websites because the economy slows down. If anything, litigation risk increases during economic downturns because plaintiffs lawyers become more aggressive in pursuing ADA claims when other revenue streams are constrained.
The path to GAAP profitability is the next structural milestone. Adjusted EBITDA of $9.1M in FY2025 versus a GAAP net loss of $3.1M means the gap is primarily stock-based compensation and depreciation; non-cash items that shrink as a percentage of revenue as the top line grows. If revenue grows 15 percent again in FY2026 to approximately $46M while operating expenses grow at a slower rate, the GAAP loss narrows further and breakeven becomes achievable within the fiscal year. GAAP profitability matters for institutional adoption because many fund mandates require positive GAAP earnings for inclusion, and index eligibility criteria often include profitability screens. Crossing that threshold does not change the business; it changes the buyer base for the stock, which changes the valuation multiple the market applies to the revenue stream.
The customer count of 131,000 provides a quantitative foundation for understanding the revenue opportunity within the existing base. At approximately $40M in ARR across 131,000 customers, the average annual revenue per customer is roughly $305. Enterprise customers pay substantially more; often thousands per year; which means the SMB average is even lower. This low average revenue per customer creates a significant expansion opportunity: as AudioEye adds more sophisticated features, higher service tiers, and managed compliance services, the average revenue per customer can increase without adding a single new customer. The combination of growing customer count and growing revenue per customer is the dual-engine growth model that the best SaaS companies use to compound revenue at rates that exceed either variable alone. AudioEye has 131,000 customers paying an average of $305 per year. If the average increases to $400 through upselling and tier migration; a 31 percent increase. ARR grows by $12.5M without acquiring a single new customer.
The legal and regulatory enforcement pipeline creates a demand floor that is independent of AudioEye sales and marketing efforts. ADA Title III lawsuits targeting inaccessible websites numbered over 4,000 in 2023 and the trend has been increasing annually. Each lawsuit represents a business that either already needs AudioEye product or will need it as part of the settlement or consent decree. The DOJ rulemaking for government websites adds an entirely separate layer of mandated compliance. State-level legislation in California, New York, and other jurisdictions adds further requirements. The cumulative effect is a regulatory environment where the question for businesses is not whether to comply with web accessibility standards but when; and the longer they wait, the higher the litigation risk. AudioEye sits at the exact intersection of this expanding mandate and provides the specific technical solution that businesses need to satisfy it. The pipeline refills itself through enforcement activity that AudioEye does not need to fund or initiate.
The international expansion opportunity adds a geographic dimension to the growth thesis that is not yet reflected in the financial projections. Web accessibility legislation is advancing globally; the European Accessibility Act takes effect in June 2025, requiring digital accessibility compliance across all EU member states. The UK Equality Act already applies accessibility standards to digital services. Canada, Australia, and Japan have their own frameworks at various stages of implementation. AudioEye platform is language-agnostic in its accessibility remediation capabilities, meaning the same technology that remediates English-language websites can be deployed for websites in any language. The international market for web accessibility compliance is estimated at multiples of the U.S. market and is at an earlier stage of regulatory enforcement, which means the growth curve internationally is steeper than the domestic curve.
The SaaS metrics tell a compounding story. ARR at $40M growing 9 percent year-over-year. Enterprise revenue growing 21 percent. Gross margin at 79 percent GAAP and 85 percent adjusted. Net loss narrowing 28 percent to $3.1M. Adjusted EBITDA of $9.1M, up 35 percent. Every one of these metrics is moving in the right direction simultaneously. That is not common in micro-cap SaaS; typically one metric improves at the expense of another. Growth accelerates but burn increases. Margins improve but growth slows. AudioEye is delivering improvement across all key SaaS metrics in the same reporting period, which suggests the business model has reached a stage of operational maturity where the unit economics are self-reinforcing.
Customer concentration risk is low at 131,000-plus customers. No single customer represents a material percentage of revenue, which means AudioEye is not dependent on any individual contract renewal. This diversification provides revenue stability that de-risks the subscription model and makes the ARR figure more reliable as a forward indicator. The churn rate; while not publicly disclosed at a granular level. Is implicitly manageable given that ARR continues to grow while the customer count expands. Net revenue retention above 100 percent would be a strong signal that existing customers are expanding their usage, and any disclosure of this metric in future quarters would be analytically significant.
The DOJ enforcement expansion is not limited to the April 2024 rule. Additional regulatory actions at the state level are creating a patchwork of accessibility requirements that vary by jurisdiction but universally point toward stricter compliance standards. California, New York, and Illinois have been particularly active in accessibility enforcement. For businesses operating across multiple states, the compliance burden is increasing, and a single platform that handles accessibility across all digital properties is more efficient than managing compliance jurisdiction by jurisdiction. AudioEye platform approach; automated monitoring plus expert remediation across an entire digital footprint; addresses this multi-jurisdiction challenge directly.
