- Adjusted EPS stable at $0.18-$0.24 per quarter; FY2025 adjusted EPS of $0.86

Share Count and Debt
Key trends
- Share dilution has moderated from 22.5% (FY2023, ironSource deal) to ~6% YoY in FY2025
- Convertible debt declining from $2.7B peak to $1.68B as tranches mature
- $558M due Nov 2026, $1.0B due 2027, $690M due 2030
- Cash of $2.14B covers near-term maturities; FCF generation (~$400M/year) provides runway
Annual Revenue Series
Score rationale
Revenue reacceleration and margin expansion are convincing -- 5 consecutive quarters of accelerating YoY growth, EBITDA margins up 800bps, FCF growing 41% to $404M. However, persistent GAAP losses from ~$380M/year SBC and ~6% annual share dilution prevent a higher score. The trajectory is clearly positive -- if Q2-Q4 2026 deliver on guided 30%+ growth and the company reaches GAAP profitability as targeted, this score would move higher. Score: 7/10.
