Appfolio 2025 Q3 Earnings Beats Revenue Estimates, Misses EPS, Net Income Grows 1.9%

Appfolio (APPF) reported fiscal 2025 Q3 earnings on Oct 30, 2025, delivering revenue growth above expectations but falling short on EPS. The company raised full-year revenue guidance and highlighted strategic momentum in AI-driven solutions and customer expansion.

Revenue

Appfolio’s total revenue surged 21.2% year-over-year to $249.35 million, driven by strong performance across its segments. Core solutions revenue rose to $53.75 million, reflecting demand for foundational property and legal management tools, while value-added services—encompassing premium tiers, screening, and e-payments—generated $192.09 million, underscoring the growth of monetized features. Additional revenue streams contributed $3.51 million, completing the $249.35 million total.

Earnings/Net Income

The company’s EPS increased by 3.3% to $0.94, while net income rose 1.9% to $33.65 million. Despite the EPS growth, the result fell below analyst estimates of $1.46, signaling mixed investor sentiment.

Post-Earnings Price Action Review

Following the earnings release, AppFolio’s stock experienced a 12% decline in after-hours trading, reflecting disappointment over the EPS miss despite revenue outperformance. The stock had already seen a 14.49% month-to-date drop, compounding recent volatility. Analysts noted that the non-GAAP operating margin contraction to 23.5% from 28.7% last year, coupled with the EPS shortfall, overshadowed the revenue beat. However, the company’s full-year revenue guidance of $945–$950 million, above the consensus of $942.8 million, signaled confidence in its growth trajectory.

Shane Trigg, President and CEO, emphasized AppFolio’s success in expanding its customer base and units under management, alongside strategic investments in AI-native platforms. He highlighted the alignment of AppFolio’s innovation with customer outcomes, expressing optimism about market share gains and operational efficiency.

Guidance
