Mixed Q4 and Full Year 2025 Financial Results
Skillz reported Q4 2025 revenue of $30.0 million (up from $17.7 million YoY) and full year 2025 revenue of $104.5 million (up from $92.8 million YoY).

Significant Debt Load Raises Liquidity Concerns

-
Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls Disclosed
Skillz disclosed non-fully remediated material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting, which the company aims to remediate during fiscal year 2026.

Operational Metrics Show Growth
Paying Monthly Active Users (PMAUs) grew to 141 thousand in Q4 2025 from 110 thousand in Q4 2024, and Average Revenue per PMAU (ARPPU) increased to $71.1 from $53.9 over the same period.
Analysis
Skillz Inc.'s latest earnings report presents a mixed financial picture. While the company achieved notable year-over-year revenue growth in Q4 and for the full year 2025, and improved its Adjusted EBITDA loss, it also reported an increased net loss for the full year. Critically, the company holds $129.7 million in outstanding debt, which, in conjunction with the concurrent 10-K filing indicating its classification as current debt, raises significant liquidity concerns given the company's market valuation. Additionally, the filing disclosed non-fully remediated material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting, adding to the risk profile. Investors should weigh the operational improvements against the substantial financial liabilities and control deficiencies.
