Did TOST Beat Earnings? Q2 2025 Results
Toast posted a mixed but fundamentally strong Q2 2025, with revenue of $1.55 billion growing 24.8% year over year and topping the $1.52 billion consensus by 2.07%, while GAAP diluted EPS of $0.13 fell well short of the $0.22 analyst estimate, a miss of 41.78%. The headline earnings gap was overshadowed by the operational momentum underneath, as the company added a record 8,500 net new locations in the quarter, pushing its total footprint to roughly 148,000 and driving annualized recurring run-rate to $1.93 billion, up 31% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA nearly doubled to $161 million from $92 million a year ago, and free cash flow climbed to $208 million, reflecting deepening operating leverage across the platform. A newly announced multi-year partnership with American Express, designed to connect dining guests across Resy, Tock, and Toast's restaurant network, underscored the company's push beyond pure payments. Management raised full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $565 million to $585 million, up from the prior $540 million to $560 million range, signaling continued confidence in the growth trajectory.
