Yext reported Q3 2025 with a solid topline increase but a widening loss profile, underscoring a growth-at-all-costs posture common to expanding SaaS platforms. Revenue reached $113.99 million, up 12.68% year over year and 16.45% quarter over quarter, accompanied by a robust gross margin of 76.97%. Despite gross profitability, operating income declined to -$10.37 million and net income declined to -$12.80 million, resulting in negative EBITDA of -$1.11 million. The cash flow statement shows ongoing cash burn, with net cash used in operating activities of -$15.80 million and free cash flow of -$16.37 million; cash at period-end stood at $118.01 million, with total debt of $98.67 million and net debt of approximately -$1.81 million, delivering a modest liquidity cushion.
The balance sheet remains asset-rich, featuring substantial goodwill and intangibles (Goodwill $105.02M; Intangible Assets $87.99M) and a sizable deferred revenue balance of $160.86M, which provides revenue visibility but also implies substantial future delivery obligations. Although the firm maintains a low current ratio (~0.78), liquidity is supported by a solid cash balance and limited near-term debt maturities. Thequarter reflected continued investment in product and go-to-market initiatives, which should precede meaningful operating leverage if revenue growth accelerates and the company achieves greater operating efficiency.
From an investment standpoint, the key question is whether the growth investments can translate into durable profitability and positive free cash flow. With top-line momentum intact but profitability yet to materialize, the stock presents a higher-risk, growth-oriented profile. Monitoring profitability trajectory, improvements in working capital efficiency, and progress toward sustainable FCF break-even will be critical over the coming quarters.
