Applovin reported strong financial results for the first quarter of 2025, with net cash from operating activities amounting to $832 million and free cash flow reaching $826 million. The company's revenue for the quarter was $1.48 billion, reflecting a 40.3% year-over-year increase. This growth was driven by a 40% increase in revenue, which exceeded analyst expectations. The company's net income for the quarter was $576 million, or $1.67 per share, up from $234 million, or 67 cents per share, in the same quarter of 2024. This resulted in a net margin of 39%.

One of the key factors contributing to Applovin's strong performance was the sale of its mobile gaming unit to Tripledot Studios for $400 million in cash.

The Apps segment, which made up the remaining 22% of revenue, is expected to see further changes in the coming quarters.
