Illumin reported fourth-quarter 2025 revenue of $43.1 million, down year-over-year but reflecting 13% sequential growth as exchange service revenue surged 48% and self-service rebounded 23% quarter-on-quarter, even as gross margin compressed to 36% and the company swung to a net loss of $4.8 million. For 2025, revenue inched up to $143.6 million but weaker margins and product mix drove a $14.7 million net loss, prompting workforce reductions and cost realignments; with $43.8 million in cash, active share buybacks and a more efficient operating structure, management says the business is now repositioned toward scalable platform revenues and enters 2026 with an expanded sales pipeline despite industry headwinds.
