Key financial highlights for the period include a positive net margin of 1.09% and a current ratio of 7.93, indicating robust liquidity. The company's valuation metrics are close to historical highs, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 518. Analysts have given the stock a neutral recommendation score, with the average rating being "hold" [2].
Olo's recent partnership with Thoma Bravo, announced in July 2025, is expected to enhance the company's mission of ensuring every restaurant guest feels like a regular. The acquisition, valued at $2.0 billion in all-cash terms, has led to the suspension of future public financial guidance [3].
Olo's quarterly results were driven by a 9% increase in active restaurant locations, reaching approximately 89,000. The company's average revenue per unit (ARPU) increased 12% YoY to approximately $955, reflecting deeper product adoption and expanded platform use. Customer expansion remained a notable strength, with net revenue retention registering at 114% for Q2 2025 [3].
Despite the strong revenue performance, Olo faced some profitability challenges. Gross margin (Non-GAAP) narrowed from 63% to 57% for Q2 2025, and the company recorded a GAAP operating loss of $2.7 million. General and administrative expenses (GAAP) increased 86% YoY in Q2 2025, partly due to $2 million in merger-related costs. However, Olo generated positive non-GAAP free cash flow of $24.0 million in Q2 2025, up from $14.2 million in Q2 2024 [3].
Looking ahead, investors will closely monitor Olo's earnings outlook and the impact of the pending acquisition on its future performance. The company's recent financial results and strong revenue growth suggest a positive outlook, but the suspension of financial guidance may introduce uncertainty.
