MNTN Delivers Record Results: 36% Revenue Growth, Margin Expansion, and AI Platform Momentum Mark 2025 Performance
Revenue Growth Accelerates on Strength of Connected TV Platform
MNTN has capped off its fiscal year 2025 with standout results, showcasing a 36% year-over-year jump in both fourth-quarter and full-year revenue, rising to $87.1 million for the quarter and $284.7 million for the year (adjusting for the Maximum Effort divestiture). MNTN credits this robust growth to their Performance TV platform, which continues to drive brand adoption of measurable, data-driven connected TV (CTV) advertising. This surge is notable as it puts MNTN at the forefront of the ongoing transformation in television advertising.
Margins Reach New Highs, Swings to Profitability in Q4

For the full year, gross margin reached 77%, climbing 560 basis points from 2024. After posting a net loss in the prior year, MNTN swung to a Q4 net income of $34.5 million, with adjusted EBITDA rising 36% to $28.1 million. The company’s balance sheet remains solid, boasting $210 million in cash and cash equivalents with no debt. This operational leverage underscores MNTN’s ability to translate rapid top-line growth into improved profitability.
