Viant Technology Inc. delivered a strong financial performance in fiscal year 2025, marked by a significant turnaround to profitability. The company reported net income of $24.1 million, a substantial improvement from a $9.9 million loss in 2023 and a 93.5% increase from $12.5 million in 2024. Revenue grew by 19% to $344.2 million, driven by growth in key industry verticals. Adjusted EBITDA also saw robust growth, increasing by 29.2% to $57.4 million. The company continues to strategically invest in its AI product suite, ViantAI, and its proprietary cookieless identity solutions (Household ID and IRIS_ID), positioning itself for future growth in the evolving programmatic advertising market. Furthermore, the board authorized an additional $50 million for its stock repurchase program in May 2025, bringing the total authorization to $100 million, with $37.9 million repurchased in 2025, signaling confidence in the company's value. While CFO Larry Madden entered a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to sell up to 200,000 shares, this is a pre-planned arrangement and its impact is mitigated. The company also released a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, resulting in a $14.0 million income tax benefit and a $12.4 million Tax Receivable Agreement liability.
