Earnings show higher revenue and stronger cash generation
GoDaddy said on Feb. 24 that it finished 2025 with stronger revenue, earnings and free cash flow than a year earlier.

In the same period in 2024, revenue was $1.1926 billion in the quarter and $4.5732 billion for the year.

Management said annualized recurring revenue reached $4.3362 billion, while total customers rose to 20.422 million at the end of the year.
Guidance for 2026 points to moderate growth
Along with the earnings release, GoDaddy issued its outlook for 2026. The company said it expects first-quarter revenue of $1.250 billion to $1.270 billion, which would represent about 6% growth at the midpoint.
For the full year, it forecast revenue of $5.195 billion to $5.275 billion. That implies roughly 6% growth at the midpoint compared with 2025. The company also said it expects first-quarter NEBITDA margin of about 32% and full-year NEBITDA margin above 33%.
Free cash flow is projected at about $1.8 billion in 2026, up from $1.6136 billion in 2025.
A Reuters report said the revenue forecast came in below Wall Street expectations and noted that the shares fell more than 6% in extended trading after the update. The report also cited analyst estimates that had centered near $5.29 billion in annual revenue.
Share repurchases remained a major use of capital
GoDaddy continued buying back stock during 2025. The company said it repurchased 10.2 million shares for an aggregate cost of $1.6 billion during the year.
That reduced share count was part of a broader capital-return program that also included stronger cash flow generation. The company said it ended 2025 with $1.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $3.8 billion in total debt, leaving net debt at $2.7 billion.
The earnings release also described GoDaddy as the world’s largest domain name registrar and highlighted products tied to website building, branding and marketing. It also said the company was integrating its Agent Name Service with MuleSoft, a Salesforce company.
