Playboy, Inc., a globally recognized lifestyle brand, focuses on delivering products, content, and experiences across various sectors, including media and hospitality, with a mission to promote pleasure and cultural progress. In its second quarter of 2025, Playboy reported a revenue increase of 13% year-over-year, reaching $28.1 million, alongside a significant reduction in net loss to $7.7 million. The company also achieved an adjusted EBITDA of $3.5 million, marking a notable improvement from the previous year.
Key financial highlights include a 105% surge in licensing revenue, driven by new partnerships and renegotiated agreements, and a 14% rise in direct-to-consumer revenue, primarily due to the improved performance of the Honey Birdette brand. Honey Birdette saw a 28% increase in same-store sales and improved gross margins, contributing positively to the overall financial results.
Playboy’s strategic initiatives include expanding its licensing agreements in gaming and beauty sectors, launching the Great Playmate Search contest, and planning a new hospitality venue in Miami Beach. These efforts aim to leverage the iconic Playboy brand while transitioning to an asset-light business model.
Looking ahead, Playboy’s management expresses optimism about future growth opportunities, supported by a strong cash position and improving credit markets, as they continue to explore ways to enhance financial performance and reduce leverage.
