Analysis
Digital Turbine opened fiscal 2027 with total revenue of $166.0 million, up 27% year-over-year from $130.9 million. Growth was led by Total App Growth Platform net revenue before intercompany eliminations of $56.6 million, up 56% year-over-year, while Total On Device Solutions net revenue before intercompany eliminations was $110.0 million, up 15% year-over-year. Management attributed the App Growth Platform performance to its brand business on the demand side and DT Exchange on the supply side.
Profitability improved materially on the measures disclosed. GAAP net loss narrowed to $3.2 million, or $(0.03) per share, from $14.1 million, or ($0.13) per share. Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $24.1 million, or $0.19 per share, compared with $7.0 million, or $0.06 per share. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA reached $42.5 million, a 69% year-over-year increase from $25.1 million.
Cash generation was positive on the Company’s non-GAAP definition, with non-GAAP free cash flow totaling $11.3 million. The provided text did not include GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, capital expenditures, cash, debt, share repurchases, dividends, or balance-sheet detail. Investors therefore have limited disclosed information in this release excerpt on liquidity, leverage, and capital allocation.
The Company raised full-year guidance and now expects fiscal year 2027 revenue of between $650 million and $670 million and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of between $145 million and $155 million. It did not provide GAAP net income guidance, citing uncertainty around stock-based compensation expense and other items that are difficult to predict with precision. No prior outlook was provided, so the magnitude of the guidance increase cannot be assessed from the documents.
The period’s central development is the divergence between faster App Growth Platform growth and slower, though still positive, On Device Solutions growth, alongside substantially improved adjusted earnings. Management identified AI partnerships and tools as a tailwind supporting better results for platform partners and advertisers and helping attract new partners and advertisers. The key reported risk remains the continuing GAAP net loss and the absence of a GAAP profitability outlook.
Management, verbatim
Our strong first quarter results reflect an encouraging start to the new fiscal year and position the Company for sustained success moving forward.
Bill Stone, CEO
In particular, I was pleased with the performance of our App Growth Platform segment, which delivered 56% year-over-year growth, powered by our brand business on the demand side and our DT Exchange on the supply side.
Bill Stone, CEO
One key tailwind helping to drive this improved performance is our ability to successfully leverage AI partnerships and tools to optimize the value of our vast data sources as a means of driving better results for platform partners and advertisers, while simultaneously delivering a more relevant, enriched end-user experience.
