GoDaddy has reported another strong quarter, solidifying its position as both a financial performer and an emerging AI innovator. For the third quarter ending September 30, 2025 (Q3/2025) the company delivered impressive year-over-year growth across every major metric, while expanding its vision for the next evolution of the internet.

GoDaddy CEO Aman Bhutani described the period as a pivotal step forward:

“GoDaddy delivered strong third-quarter results as we position our business to lead in the emerging agentic AI era. Our AI vision and evolution expand our capabilities, accelerate innovation, and build on our leadership in domains to power an open, trusted internet that delivers lasting value for customers.”

CFO Mark McCaffrey emphasized the company’s disciplined execution and cash-generation strength:

“Our durable business model allows us to optimize operational discipline while accelerating AI innovation, creating long-term value for shareholders.”

Financially, GoDaddy posted $1.3 billion in total revenue, up 10% year-over-year, and $1.4 billion in total bookings, a 9% increase.

Its Applications & Commerce segment rose 14% to $481 million, while Core Platform revenue climbed 8% to $784.3 million. Operating income reached $296.7 million (a 23% margin), and net income came in at $210.5 million, up 10% from the same period last year.

GoDaddy’s normalized EBITDA grew 11% to $408.6 million, reflecting a 32% margin. The company’s cash flow remained a highlight, with $444.2 million generated from operations—up 25% year-over-year—and free cash flow of $440.5 million, a 21% increase.

Beyond the numbers, GoDaddy continued advancing its AI strategy. Its Airo platform evolved from a generative AI system into a full-fledged agentic AI platform, introducing five new agents designed to handle core customer tasks intuitively.

The company also launched the Agent Name Service (ANS) — a new identity protocol for AI agents built on DNS infrastructure and proposed as an open standard. ANS aims to extend GoDaddy’s leadership in online trust and safety by enabling secure discovery and validation of AI agents across the open web.
