Unity Releases Preliminary First Quarter Results Exceeding Guidance; Will Enhance Growth and Profitability by Exiting Non-Strategic Ad BusinessesMarch 26, 2026 4:05 PM
Business Wire
Unity (NYSE: U), the world’s leading game engine, today announced preliminary revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2026 above guidance. Unity expects to report revenue of $505 Million to $508 Million, compared to guidance of $480 Million to $490 Million. Unity expects Adjusted EBITDA of $130 Million to $135 Million, compared to guidance of $105 Million to $110 Million, representing year-over-year growth of 58%.
The outperformance is driven by Unity Vector, which is expected to increase 15% sequentially in the first quarter of 2026, as well as better than expected performance in Create. Unity expects Grow revenue of approximately $352 Million and Create revenue of approximately $155 Million.
Unity also announced it will be sunsetting the ironSource Ads Network, effective April 30th, and that it has engaged a financial advisor to assist with the divestiture of its Supersonic game publishing business. Once completed, Unity expects these changes to result in faster revenue growth, increased Adjusted EBITDA, and higher Adjusted EBITDA margins.
In the first quarter of 2026, Strategic Grow revenue, which excludes the contribution from the ironSource Ads Network and Supersonic, is expected to increase 48% year-over-year, 2x the 24% year-over-year growth expected for total Grow in the first quarter. Strategic Create revenue is expected to grow 14% year-over-year in the first quarter.
"Unity Vector continues to deliver robust growth each quarter, driving results meaningfully above our guidance. Today’s actions will accelerate Vector’s impact on our business, enhancing both revenue growth and profitability,” said Matt Bromberg, President and CEO of Unity.
Unity expects minimal revenue contribution from the ironSource Ads Network after the first quarter of 2026. Additional information including historical revenue of the ironSource Ads Network and Supersonic businesses is available at [https://investors.unity.com/overview/default.aspx].

Preliminary Results Disclaimer
The expected revenue and adjusted EBITDA results for the first quarter of 2026 included in this press release are preliminary, unaudited and subject to completion and are based on management’s initial analysis of results of operations for the first quarter of 2026. Unity’s consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of 2026 are not yet available, remain subject to completion of the first quarter of 2026, financial closing procedures and potential final adjustments and have not been reviewed by Unity’s independent registered public accounting firm. These estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and are not necessarily indicative of future results. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from the preliminary estimates in this press release.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Unity’s consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA as estimated above excludes estimates for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation, restructurings and reorganizations, interest, income tax, and other non-operating activities, which primarily consist of foreign exchange rate gains or losses. Adjusted EBITDA margin as estimated above is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.
However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. As a result, our non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We are presenting Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin because we believe, when taken collectively, they may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance. We have provided Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in this release in order to enable investors to compare estimated actual performance with Unity’s guidance for its first quarter of 2026.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss and Adjusted EBITDA margin to GAAP net loss margin is not available without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, many of these costs and expenses that are not determinable until the completion of our quarter-end closing process. We have provided a reconciliation of historical GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the financial statement tables for our fourth quarter 2025 non-GAAP results that are included on the Unity Investor Relations website.

Unity shares jump after Oppenheimer upgrade highlights AI upsideFebruary 10, 2026 10:43 AM
IH Market News
Unity Software (NYSE:U) climbed about 5% in Tuesday morning trading after Oppenheimer upgraded the stock to Outperform from Perform and introduced a $38 price target.The call comes after a tough stretch for Unity, which has lagged amid broader weakness in software names tied to concerns around artificial intelligence. The stock finished Monday at $27.53, down roughly 38% since the beginning of the year.Oppenheimer analyst Martin Yang pushed back on worries that so-called “world models,” such as Google’s Project Genie, could render game engines like Unity obsolete. He characterized those concerns as “fundamentally misplaced,” arguing they misunderstand Unity’s core role in the development ecosystem.“Current world models generate pixel-based predictions, lacking the deterministic logic, and interactivity required for game development,” Yang said. “We view these models as asset-generation tools that will feed into the Unity engine, rather than replace it.”Yang also pointed to strengthening fundamentals at Unity, highlighting the renewed momentum in the company’s Grow segment alongside tighter cost controls. He expects adjusted EBITDA margins to expand to around 26% by 2026, up from 22% in 2025.Rather than viewing AI as a threat, Yang said Unity is “uniquely positioned to benefit from foundation models.” He argued that deeper AI integration could reduce barriers to entry, boost productivity for developers, and broaden Unity’s user base by making creation more accessible to non-coders.The $38 target price reflects roughly 24 times Oppenheimer’s estimate of $695 million in adjusted EBITDA for 2027, a multiple the firm says is in line with comparable SaaS peers.Unity Software stock price
