<a href="https://laohu8.com/S/DRCT">Direct Digital</a> FY25 net loss widens to $28 million; revenue drops 44% to $35 million

Direct Digital posted a net loss of USD 28 million for fiscal 2025, widening from USD 20 million.
Revenue fell 44% to USD 35 million, as sell-side advertising revenue dropped 85% to USD 5.3 million.
Adjusted EBITDA loss widened to USD 11 million from USD 9.3 million.
Buy-side advertising revenue rose 10% to USD 29 million, driven by USD 7.4 million of new-customer growth partly offset by lower spend from existing clients.
Management attributed sell-side disruption to short attacks and a market-discredited blog post in May 2024, while shifting focus in 2026 toward buy-side and new enterprise customers via its recently launched Ignition+ product.
