Posted by DomainGang on August 7, 2025, at 7:50 pm

GoDaddy delivered a robust performance in Q2 2025, reporting $1.2 billion in revenue—an 8% increase year-over-year. The company also saw total bookings rise to $1.3 billion, up 7% from the same period last year.

The Applications and Commerce segment led the way with 14% year-over-year growth, reaching $463.9 million in revenue. Core Platform revenue climbed 5% to $753.7 million.

Profitability was also strong: operating income jumped 28% to $266.3 million, with a 22% margin, while net income surged 37% to $199.9 million. Normalized EBITDA came in at $381.7 million, up 15%, representing a 31% margin.

GoDaddy continued to generate strong cash flows, with $379.9 million in operating cash and $391.5 million in free cash flow—up 29% and 21% respectively year-over-year.

A recent GoDaddy Small Business Research Lab survey highlighted cautious optimism among U.S. small business owners. While 72% expect their own revenues to remain stable or grow, only 45% felt the same about the broader economy.

Business Outlook

Looking ahead, GoDaddy expects Q3 2025 revenue between $1.22 billion and $1.24 billion, marking a 7% year-over-year increase at the midpoint. For the full year, the company has raised its revenue guidance to a range of $4.89 billion to $4.94 billion—also up 7% compared to 2024.

By segment, Applications & Commerce revenue is projected to grow in the mid-teens, while Core Platform growth is expected in the low single digits.

Starting Q4 2025, GoDaddy will cease operating the registry for the .CO domain, although it will remain a registrar. This shift is expected to create a 50 basis point headwind to revenue and bookings, primarily in Q4, but GoDaddy says it will not impact strategic execution.

The company forecasts a 32% NEBITDA margin for Q3 and anticipates expanding that to 33% by the end of the year. It also raised its full-year free cash flow target to $1.6 billion, up from $1.4 billion in 2024.
