Nebius' Q1 Loss Widens Y/Y, Revenues Rise on Strong Core AI Growth
Read MoreHide Full Article
Nebius Group N.V. (NBIS - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2025 adjusted net loss of $92.5 million, 19% wider than a loss of $77.6 million incurred a year ago. The company’s revenues surged 385% year over year to $55.3 million. The increase in sales was primarily driven by strong growth in its core artificial intelligence (AI) business.
With R&D hubs across Europe, North America and Israel, Nebius’ core business is an AI cloud platform designed for intensive workloads, powered by in-house developed software and hardware. The Group also operates businesses under distinct brands, including Avride (autonomous driving technology) and TripleTen (a leading U.S.-based edtech platform for tech career reskilling).
Nebius holds equity stakes in companies like ClickHouse and Toloka, which will be deconsolidated following a second-quarter 2025 investment round. Going forward, Toloka’s results will be treated as an equity method investment and reclassified as discontinued operations for prior periods.
