Did ABNB Beat Earnings? Q2 2025 Results
Airbnb delivered a standout second quarter, posting earnings per share of $1.03 against a consensus estimate of $0.94, a beat of 9.49%, while revenue climbed 12.7% year-over-year to $3.10 billion, edging past the $3.03 billion analysts had expected. The headline numbers were powered by a combination of solid nights-booked growth, a modest uptick in average daily rates, and favorable Easter timing, with 134.4 million Nights and Seats Booked marking a 7% year-over-year gain and app-based bookings surging 17% to represent 59% of total nights booked. Net income rose 16% to $642 million, and Adjusted EBITDA climbed 17% to $1.04 billion at a 34% margin, reinforcing the platform's financial discipline even as the company accelerates investment. <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2025/08/06/live-airbnb-abnb-reports-earnings-tonight-will-it-issue-a-massive-beat/">Heading into the print</a>, investors had closely watched whether international expansion could sustain momentum, and with expansion markets growing at roughly double the pace of core markets for a sixth straight quarter, that answer arrived clearly. For Q3 2025, Airbnb guided revenue of $4.02 billion to $4.10 billion, implying 8-10% growth, with Adjusted EBITDA expected to top $2.00 billion.
- Solid growth in nights stayed and slight ADR increase
- Favorable Easter timing compared to 2024

Forward Guidance & Outlook
For Q3 2025, Airbnb expects revenue of $4.02 billion to $4.10 billion (8-10% YoY growth) with minimal FX impact. Nights and Seats Booked growth is expected to be relatively stable compared to Q2, though management noted tougher YoY comparisons toward the end of Q3 continuing into Q4. ADR is expected to increase modestly YoY, primarily driven by FX. Q3 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to exceed $2.0 billion, though margins will be lower than Q3 2024 due to investments in new growth and policy initiatives. A similar YoY decline in Q4 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Margin is expected. For full-year 2025, the company expects Adjusted EBITDA Margin of at least 34.5%, including approximately $200 million in investment toward services and experiences. Implied take rate in Q3 is expected to be flat YoY.
