Duolingo's earnings call highlighted strong growth in daily active users and successful expansion of language courses, aided by AI. However, the company faces challenges with declining gross margins and monetization of new educational subjects. The introduction of new offerings like chess and AI-driven efficiencies are promising, but pricing issues in certain markets persist.

Company Guidance

In the recent call, Duolingo provided detailed guidance on their financial performance and strategic initiatives. The company anticipates a full-year gross margin decline of about 150 basis points year-over-year, with a sequential decline of 50 basis points expected in Q2, followed by an increase in Q3 and Q4, ultimately ending the year at levels similar to the prior year. As of the end of Q1, 7% of subscribers were utilizing the Duolingo Max plan, contributing to strong financial results. The company continues to focus on expanding their offerings, including the recent addition of 148 new language courses, which were developed using AI. This AI-driven approach also enables the creation of content more efficiently, allowing Duolingo to enhance user engagement through features like the Video Call with Lily. These advancements are expected to drive user growth, particularly among English learners, who currently constitute around 50% of Duolingo's user base—a figure the company hopes will eventually reach closer to the global average of 80%. Additionally, Duolingo is exploring the potential benefits of recent legal developments regarding app store payment structures, which may offer new opportunities for cost optimization.

Introduction of Chess Course
