This Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q contains forward-looking statements about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans, and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as "aim," "anticipate," "believe," "contemplate," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "target," "toward," "will," "would," or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions.
You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, and operating results. Readers are cautioned that these forward‑looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those identified and discussed in greater detail in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025 and below, under "Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors."
The results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
In addition, statements that "we believe" and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. While we believe such information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.
The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q or to reflect new information, actual results, revised expectations, or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments.
Additional Information
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to "we," "us," "our," "our company," "Unity," and "Unity Technologies" refer to Unity Software Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Unity design logos, "Unity" and our other registered or common law trademarks, service marks, or trade names appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are the property of Unity Software Inc. or its affiliates.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.
Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial reporting.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Unity Software Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries, and entities consolidated under the voting interest model. We have eliminated all intercompany balances and transactions. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or other periods. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to our financial position and results of operations.
We review the useful lives of assets with a finite life on a recurring basis. Effective July 1, 2025, we revised our estimate of the remaining useful life for certain intangible assets from
four
to
seven years
, down to
one
to
three years
. These assets are included in “Intangible assets, net” on our consolidated balance sheets, are primarily “developed technology” within intangible assets, and primarily relate to assets arising from our acquisition of Wētā FX Limited in 2021. The shortened useful lives are due to certain assets no longer being actively developed and absence of currently established plans for incorporation into future Unity offerings. The effect of this change in estimate for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was an increase in amortization expense and decrease in operating income of approximately $
39
million, an increase in net loss of approximately $
30
million, and an increase in our basic and diluted net loss per share of approximately $
0.08
per share.
Employee Separation and Restructuring Costs
In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred incremental employee separation costs of approximately $
23
million, primarily within sales and marketing and research and development. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred incremental employee separation costs of approximately $
205
million, which included $
127
million of incremental stock-based compensation. Of the incremental employee separation costs we incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, $
15
million are within cost of revenue, $
46
million are within research and development, $
52
million are within sales and marketing, and $
92
million are within general and administrative. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $
16
million and $
45
million, respectively, of other restructuring costs, primarily related to office closures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In July 2025, the FASB issued a new Accounting Standards Update ("ASU 2025-05") amending the guidance around estimation of credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets to
allow entities to elect a practical expedient to assume that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing a reasonable and supportable forecast. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating ASU 2025-05 to determine its impact on our financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued a new Accounting Standards Update ("ASU 2025-06") amending existing internal-use software guidance, changing the timing and thresholds for capitalizing these software costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted and can be applied on either a prospective, modified, or retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating ASU 2025-06 to determine its impact on our financial statements.

Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable are recorded at the original invoiced amount, net of allowances for uncollectible amounts. We estimate losses on uncollectible amounts based on expected losses, including our historical experience of actual losses.
The estimated losses on uncollectible amounts are recorded in general and administrative expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for uncollectible amounts was $
11.4
million and $
17.3
million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the provision for uncollectible amounts was $
0.9
million and $
6.5
million, respectively.
Sales Commissions
Sales commissions that have a benefit beyond one year are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line method over the expected period of benefit, which is generally
three years
.
As of September 30, 2025, capitalized commissions, net of amortization, included in prepaid expenses and
other and other assets were $
5.8
million and $
3.2
million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, capitalized commissions, net of amortization, included in prepaid expenses and other and other assets were $
6.5
million and $
5.4
million, respectively.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded amortization costs of $
1.7
million and $
5.5
million in sales and marketing expenses, as compared to $
2.2
million and $
6.9
million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. We did
not
incur any impairment losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Contract Balances and Remaining Performance Obligations
Contract assets (unbilled receivables), primarily included in accounts receivable, net, are recorded when revenue is earned in advance of customer billing schedules.
Unbilled receivables totaled $
19.7
million and $
20.5
million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The long term portion of those unbilled receivables was included in other long-term assets on our consolidated balance sheets, and was not material as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract.
Revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 that was included in the deferred revenue balances at January 1, 2025 was $
160
million.
Additionally, we have performance obligations associated with commitments in customer contracts to perform in the future that had not yet been recognized in our consolidated financial statements. For contracts with original terms that exceed one year, those commitments not yet recognized as of September 30, 2025, were $
441
million and relate primarily to Create Solutions subscriptions, Enterprise Support, and Strategic Partnerships.
These commitments generally extend over the next
one
to
five years
and we expect to recognize approximately $
197
million or
45
% of this revenue during the next
12
months.

Financial Instruments
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:
•
Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•
Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration.
•
Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. These valuations require significant judgment.
The following table summarizes, by major security type, our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Due to the highly liquid nature of our investments, amortized cost approximates fair value.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
We hold equity investments in certain unconsolidated entities without a readily determinable fair value. These strategic investments represent less than a
20
% ownership interest in each of the entities, and we do not have significant influence over or control of the entities. We use the measurement alternative to account for adjustments to these investments for observable transactions for the same or similar investments of the same issuer in any given quarter. If we determine an impairment has occurred, the investment is written down to the estimated fair value. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, such equity investments totaled $
35.0
million and $
33.0
million, respectively. No material adjustments to the carrying value of these equity investments were recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
4.
Investment in Unity China
The results of Unity China, of which third-party investors hold a
20.5
% ownership interest, are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Under certain conditions we may be required to repurchase the third-party interest in Unity China. The redeemable noncontrolling interests in Unity China are recorded as temporary equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Borrowings
Convertible Notes
In February 2025, we issued an aggregate of $
690
million principal amount of
0
% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes"). Proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Notes were $
677
million, net of debt issuance costs and the cash was used to purchase capped call transactions, and repurchase convertible notes as discussed below. The debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.
As of September 30, 2025, we had $
2.2
billion of unsecured convertible notes outstanding including $
690
million of the 2030 Notes, $
1.0
billion issued in November 2022 (the "2027 Notes"), $
558
million issued in November 2021 (the "2026 Notes", together with the 2027 Notes and 2030 Notes, the "Notes").
The table below summarizes the principal and unamortized debt issuance costs and other material features of the Notes (in thousands):
1) We entered into capped call transactions in connection with the 2026 and 2030 Notes. The cap price of the capped call transactions relating to the Notes was initially $
343.02
and $
47.74
, respectively, subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions. See below "--Capped Call Transactions."
Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. The combined interest expense on the Notes related to regular interest and the amortization of debt issuance cost was $
6.1
million and $
18.0
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $
5.8
million and $
17.7
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the estimated fair value of the 2030 Notes was approximately $
1.0
billion. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the 2027 Notes was approximately $
1.2
billion and $
1.0
billion, respectively, and the estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes was approximately $
531
million and $
1.1
billion, respectively. The fair value of the 2027 Notes was based on a combination of a discounted cash flow and Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the 2030 Notes and 2026 Notes was based on quoted prices as of that date.
The 2027 Notes may be converted at the election of the holders thereof at any time prior to maturity. The 2026 Notes and 2030 Notes are convertible at the option of the respective holders thereof if a conversion condition applicable to such series of Notes is triggered. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, none of the conversion conditions of the 2026 Notes or the 2030 Notes were triggered, and the 2026 Notes were not convertible as of September 30, 2025.
Any such conversion of the Notes noted above, may be satisfied at our election with either cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. The conversion rates for the Notes are subject to customary adjustments for certain events as described in the relevant indenture governing the Notes.
The Notes are subject to additional terms. In connection with certain corporate events, as described in the indentures governing the Notes, we will increase the conversion rate for a holder of the applicable series of Notes who elects to convert those Notes in connection with the event. Additionally, upon the occurrence of certain corporate events and subject to certain exceptions, as described in the indenture governing the applicable series of Notes, holders of those Notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of their notes at a price equal to
100
% of the principal amount to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to date. The 2026 Notes and 2030 Notes are also redeemable at our option if certain conditions are met, as described in the indentures governing the 2026 Notes and 2030 Notes respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, no holders of the Notes have exercised the conversion rights, and the if-converted value of the Notes did not exceed the principal amount.
Convertible Note Repurchase
During the first quarter of 2025, and the first quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased in privately negotiated transactions and extinguished a portion of the 2026 Notes, with a total principal balance of $
688
million and $
480
million, respectively. The aggregate repurchase price for these notes was $
642
million and $
415
million, respectively, resulting in pre-tax gains of $
42.7
million and $
61.4
million, net of
the write-off of unamortized issuance costs, respectively. These gains were included in Interest income and other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Capped Call Transactions
We entered into capped call transactions (the "Capped Call Transactions"), to reduce the potential dilutive effect of the 2026 Notes (the "2026 Capped Call Transactions"), and 2030 Notes (the "2030 Capped Call Transactions"), in connection with their pricing. The 2026 Capped Call Transactions, and the 2030 Capped Call Transactions, had net costs of $
48.1
million and $
44.4
million, respectively, with call options totaling approximately
5.6
million and
19.1
million of our common stock, and with expiration dates ranging from September 18, 2026 to November 12, 2026, and January 15, 2030 to March 13, 2030, respectively. The strike price of the 2026 Capped Call Transactions, and the 2030 Capped Call Transactions are $
308.72
and $
36.15
, respectively, and the cap prices are initially $
343.02
and $
47.74
per share, respectively, subject to adjustments in certain circumstances. The Capped Call Transactions are freestanding, are considered separately exercisable from the 2026 Notes and 2030 Notes, and meet the conditions for equity classification.

Legal Matters
In the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal matters. We accrue a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We also disclose material contingencies when we believe a loss is not probable but reasonably possible. Legal costs related to such potential losses are expensed as incurred. In addition, recoveries are shown as a reduction in legal costs in the period in which they are realized. With respect to our outstanding matters, based on our current knowledge, we believe that the resolution of such matters will not, either individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business or our condensed consolidated financial statements. However, litigation is inherently uncertain, and the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty. Accordingly, cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of these matters. From time to time, we may be subject to other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, investors, directors, officers, employees and other parties with respect to certain matters. Indemnification may include losses from our breach of such agreements, services we
13

Unity Software Inc.
provide, or third-party intellectual property infringement claims. These indemnifications may survive termination of the underlying agreement and the maximum potential amount of future indemnification payments may not be subject to a cap. As of September 30, 2025, there were no known events or circumstances that have resulted in a material indemnification liability to us and we did not incur material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnifications.
Letters of Credit
We had $
10.5
million and $
10.2
million of secured letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These primarily relate to our office space leases and are fully collateralized by certificates of deposit which we record in restricted cash as other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Price-Vested Units and Price-Vested Options
The vesting for each of the PVOs and PVUs is subject to the fulfillment of both a service period that extends up to
four years
and the achievement of a stock price hurdle during the relevant performance period that extends up to
six
and
seven years
, respectively. The fair value of each PVO and PVU award is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation that uses assumptions determined on the date of grant. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the price hurdle on
420,000
outstanding PVO units were met, resulting in those units vesting. No other outstanding options or units, which had not already met their price hurdle in a prior period, attained their price hurdle in this period.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
Starting in the first quarter of 2025, we have issued PSUs to certain executives as part of their compensation. The vesting for each PSU is subject to the fulfillment of both a service period of
3
years, and the level of achievement of certain performance goals (revenue and EBITDA metrics), over
three
annual performance periods ("tranche"). These goals are set as a range of target outcomes, in the first quarter of each year, and can be attained at a rate between
0
% and
150
%, based on where in the range the final results fall. The fair value of each PSU is estimated separately for each tranche of the award, using the closing price of Unity's common stock on the day the performance goals are set for that tranche. The expense is the fair value of the award multiplied by the expected attainment of the related performance goals as of the balance sheet date, recognized ratably for each tranche over the period between the day the performance goal is set, and the end of the service period. The expense is adjusted each period for any changes in the expected attainment of the performance goals.
Fair Value Assumptions
The calculated grant-date fair value of stock options, PVUs, and PVOs granted, were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for stock options, and a Monte Carlo stimulation for the PVUs and PVOs, with the following assumptions:
The fair value of shares offered under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") was determined on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Income Taxes
Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, we update the estimated annual effective tax rate and make a year-to-date adjustment to the provision. The estimated annual effective tax rate is subject to volatility due to several factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, intercompany transactions, changes in how we do business, and tax law developments.
Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the need to record a valuation allowance on U.S. losses and to a lesser extent tax expense on foreign earnings taxed at different rates. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the need to record a valuation allowance in the U.S. on losses, a tax benefit on foreign losses in connection with employee separation costs, and to a lesser extent, tax expense on foreign earnings taxed at different rates. In addition, during the first quarter of 2024, the Company restructured its tax operations which resulted in a reduction to the U.S. valuation allowance.
The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in future periods. We regularly assess the ability to realize our deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In performing this assessment with respect to each jurisdiction, we review all available positive and negative evidence. Primarily due to our history of losses, we believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets of our U.S. federal, certain U.S. states, Denmark, U.K., and other non-U.S. jurisdictions will not be realized and we have maintained a full valuation allowance against such deferred tax assets.
As of September 30, 2025, we had $
182.9
million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which $
34.3
million would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2025 could increase or decrease significantly as the timing of the resolution, settlement, and closure of audits is highly uncertain. We believe that we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcome related to our tax audits and that any settlement will not have a material impact on our financial condition and operating results at this time.
Basic and diluted net loss per share is the same for all periods presented because the effects of potentially dilutive items were antidilutive given our net loss in each period.
The following table presents potentially dilutive common stock excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share (in thousands) because the impact of including them would have been antidilutive:

Segment Information
We have
one
reportable segment, software solutions. See "Revenue Recognition" in Note 1 of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, for detailed information regarding our products and services.
Our chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer, who on a consolidated basis, assess the performance of, drives improvements in, and decides how to allocate resources in the reportable segment, based on multiple measures of performance including consolidated net income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross margin, and adjusted EPS. As such, consolidated net income, which is reported and reconciled with all significant segment expenses on our consolidated statement of operations, is the measure that is most consistent with GAAP, while adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross margin, and adjusted EPS are additional measures of our segment profitability.
The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. We do not have material intra-entity sales or transfers.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Please read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are statements that attempt to forecast or anticipate future developments in our business, financial condition, or results of operations. When reviewing the discussion below, you should keep in mind the substantial risks and uncertainties that could impact our business. In particular, we encourage you to review the risks and uncertainties described in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025 and "Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors" included elsewhere in this report. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements contained in this report or implied by past results and trends. Forward-looking statements, like all statements in this report, speak only as of their date (unless another date is indicated), and we undertake no obligation to update or revise these statements in light of future developments. See the section titled "Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factor Summary" in this report.
Overview
Unity offers a suite of tools to develop, deploy, and grow games and interactive experiences across all major platforms from mobile, PC, and console, to extended reality (XR).
Our platform consists of two complementary sets of solutions: Create Solutions and Grow Solutions. Starting in the fourth quarter of 2023, we began to reset our product and service offerings to focus on our core businesses, which we refer to as our "Strategic Portfolio": the Unity Engine and related consumption services, and Monetization.
Recent Developments in Our Business
In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we had reductions to our workforce and our office footprint, that resulted in approximately $23 million in employee separation costs, and $16 million of non-employee charges associated with these reductions. We will continue to evaluate our facility needs.
For additional details, refer to the section titled "Risk Factors."
Key Metrics
As further discussed in Item 2 of Part I, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we monitor the following key metrics to help us evaluate the health of our business, identify trends affecting our growth, formulate goals and objectives, and make strategic decisions. We have revised and restated these metrics to include inputs from our Strategic Portfolio only.
Customers Contributing More Than $100,000 of Revenue
We had 1,338 and 1,242 customers contributing more than $100,000 of revenue in the trailing 12 months as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The year over year increase was a result of our subscription revenue growth, and increased advertising spend in Grow Solutions. While these customers represented the substantial majority of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for either period.
Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate
Our ability to drive growth and generate incremental revenue depends, in part, on our ability to maintain and grow our relationships with our Create and Grow Solutions customers and to increase their use of our platform. We track our performance by measuring our dollar-based net expansion rate, which compares our Create and Grow Solutions revenue, excluding Strategic Partnerships and Supersonic, from the same set of customers across comparable periods, calculated on a trailing 12-month basis.
Our dollar-based net expansion rate as of September 30, 2025 was driven primarily by growth in subscriptions revenue, due to broad price increases in our subscription services and existing Create Solutions customers upgrading to enterprise offerings. Our dollar-based net expansion rate as of September 30, 2024 was driven primarily by decreases in Grow Solutions revenue, due to competition in the advertising market, offset by growth in subscriptions revenue. The increase in dollar-based net expansion rate, compared to the comparable prior year period, is primarily attributable to reduced declines in Grow Solutions revenue, as noted above.
The chart below illustrates that our dollar-based net expansion rate has been increasing over the last year.

Revenue
Create Solutions
We generate Create Solutions revenue primarily through our suite of Create Solutions subscriptions inclusive of enterprise support, professional services, and consumption services. Our subscriptions provide customers access to technologies that allow them to edit, run, and iterate interactive, RT3D and
2D experiences that can be created once and deployed to a variety of platforms. Enhanced support services are provided to our enterprise customers and are generally sold separately from the Create Solutions subscriptions. Professional services are provided to our customers and include consulting, platform integration, training, and custom application and workflow development. Cloud and hosting services are provided to our customers to simplify and enhance the way our users access and harness our solutions.
Grow Solutions
We generate Grow Solutions revenue primarily through our monetization solutions and game publishing services. Our monetization solutions allow publishers, original equipment manufacturers, and mobile carriers to sell available advertising inventory on their mobile applications or hardware devices to advertisers for in-application or on-device placements. Our revenue represents the amount we retain from the transaction we are facilitating through our Unified Auction and mediation platform. Our game publishing services provide game developers with the infrastructure and expertise to launch their mobile games and manage their growth; this is achieved through marketability testing tools, live games management tools and game design support, and optimizing the implementation of the customer's commercial model. Through these publishing services, we generate revenue from in-app advertising in published games and in some cases, in-app purchase revenue.
Our total revenue is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Included in revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, are approximately $24 million and $75 million, respectively, of revenue associated with non-strategic portfolio, primarily in Create Solutions. We expect that these amounts will decline further through the remainder of 2025.
Total revenue increased in the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to an increase in Grow Solutions revenue driven by migrating one of our advertising networks, which we call the "Unity Ad Network", to our new AI Platform, which we call “Unity Vector”. The increase in total revenue was further driven by an increase in Create Solutions revenue, driven by increases in subscription revenue, offset by decreases in consumption services revenue, driven by our portfolio reset.
Total revenue decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in Create Solutions revenue, driven by decreases in professional services and consumption services revenue, driven by our portfolio reset, offset by increases in subscription revenue, and a sale of a term license for approximately $12 million in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in total revenue was further driven by a decrease in Grow Solutions revenue driven by changes in customer demand, competition, and resource allocation decisions, partially offset by the migration to Unity Vector.
Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit, and Gross Margin
Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs (including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation) for employees and subcontractors associated with our product support and professional services organizations, hosting expenses, the amortization of intangible assets, and direct costs associated with our advertising offerings.
Gross profit, or revenue less cost of revenue, has been and will continue to be affected by various factors, including our product mix, the costs associated with third-party hosting services and the extent to which we expand and drive efficiencies in our hosting costs, professional services, and customer support
organizations. We expect our gross profit to increase in absolute dollars in the long term but fluctuate in the short term as we stabilize our business following our reset efforts. We expect our gross profit as a percentage of revenue, or gross margin, to fluctuate from period to period.
Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased, compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to an increase in hosting and other direct costs to support the revenue growth in our advertising networks. Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased, compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs, driven by our reductions in headcount.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist of research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. The most significant component of our operating expenses is personnel-related costs, including salaries and wages, sales commissions, bonuses, benefits, stock-based compensation, and payroll taxes.
In January 2024, we commenced a plan to reduce our workforce, and we mutually agreed to the departure of the founders of ironSource Ltd. Following these announcements and substantially in the first quarter of 2024, we incurred incremental employee separation costs of approximately $205 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, largely driven by the acceleration and modification of equity awards, including $15 million within cost of revenue, $46 million within research and development expense, $52 million within sales and marketing expense, and $92 million within general and administrative expense. In addition, we incurred approximately $45 million of non-employee charges associated with this restructuring in 2024, largely within research and development expense.
Further, in the first quarter of 2025 we had additional workforce reductions. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred incremental employee separation costs related to these actions of approximately $23 million, primarily within research and development, and sales and marketing. In addition, we incurred approximately $16 million of non-employee charges associated with this restructuring in 2025.
Additionally, starting in the third quarter of 2025 we revised down our estimate of the remaining useful life of certain intangible assets, due to those assets no longer being actively developed or planned for incorporation into future Unity offerings. These intangible assets primarily arose from our acquisition of Wētā FX Limited, and their useful lives were reduced from four to seven years, down to one to three years. This change in estimate increased the amortization expense in our condensed consolidated financial statements by $39 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily in research and development expense.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses primarily consist of personnel-related costs for the design and development of our platform, amortization expenses related to intangible assets, and hosting expenses. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars in the long term, as we invest in new solutions, expand features and functionality with existing solutions, and enter new markets, but fluctuate in the short term as we migrate traffic to Unity Vector. We expect research and development expenses to fluctuate as a percentage of revenue from period to period.
Research and development expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased, compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to an increase in amortization costs driven by the change in the useful life of certain intangible assets, beginning in the third quarter of 2025. Research and development expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased, compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs driven by our reductions in headcount, partially offset by an increase in amortization costs from the change in useful lives of certain intangible assets.
Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, amortization expenses related to intangible assets, and advertising and marketing programs, including user acquisition costs and digital account-based marketing, user events such as developer-centric conferences and our annual Unite user conferences. We expect that our sales and marketing expense will increase in absolute dollars in the long term, as we increase our user acquisition spend, direct marketing and community outreach activities, and invest in additional tools and technologies. We expect sales and marketing expenses to fluctuate as a percentage of revenue from period to period.
Sales and marketing expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased, compared to the comparable prior year periods, primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs, driven by our reductions in headcount.
General and Administrative
Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel-related costs for finance, legal, human resources, IT and administrative employees; allocated overhead, and professional fees for external legal, accounting, and other professional services. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars in the long term, as we scale to support the growth of our business. We expect general and administrative expenses to fluctuate as a percentage of revenue from period to period.
General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased moderately, compared to the comparable prior year period, as a result of our continued focus on cost discipline. General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased, compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to decreases in personnel-related costs and in impairments of operating lease assets, both driven by incremental employee separation costs and non-employee charges from restructuring in 2024.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense associated with our convertible debt and amortization of debt issuance costs.
Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased, compared to the comparable prior year periods, due to the amortization of new debt issuance costs, from the issuance of the 2030 notes, partially offset by a reduction in the amortization of debt issuance costs, driven by the repurchase of the 2026 notes.
Interest Income and Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest income and other income (expense), net, consists primarily of gains on the repurchase of convertible debt, interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents, and foreign currency gains and losses. As we have expanded our global operations, our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies has increased, and we expect this to continue.
Interest income and other income (expense), net, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased, compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to losses from foreign exchange. Interest income and other income (expense), net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased, compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to changes in the amount of gain recognized from the repurchase of convertible debt. In the first quarter of 2024, we recognized $61.4 million of gain on repurchase of convertible debt, compared to $42.7 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Provision for (benefit from) Income taxes
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes consists primarily of income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions where we conduct business. We have a valuation allowance against certain of our deferred tax assets, including net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards and tax credits related primarily to research and development. Our overall effective income tax rate in future periods may be affected by the
geographic mix of earnings in the countries in which we operate. Our future effective tax rate may also be affected by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws, regulations, or accounting principles in the jurisdictions in which we conduct business. See Note 9, "Income Taxes," of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased, compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to higher earnings in foreign jurisdictions and the absence of a tax benefit recognized in the first quarter of 2024 in connection with our restructuring activities.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe, when taken collectively, they may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance.
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.
Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS
We define adjusted gross profit as GAAP gross profit excluding expenses associated with stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation, and restructurings and reorganizations. We define adjusted gross margin as adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss excluding benefits or expenses associated with 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.
We define adjusted EPS as net income or loss excluding benefits or expenses associated with stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation, restructurings and reorganizations, and the income tax impact of the preceding adjustments (cumulatively "adjusted net income"), increased by the tax effected impacts from any relevant dilutive securities, divided by the diluted weighted-average outstanding shares. The effective tax rate used in calculating adjusted EPS is estimated for each period, based on the net income or loss adjusted for the items noted above, and may differ from the effective rate used in our financial statements. Shares of common stock that are excluded in our calculation of GAAP diluted net loss per share due to their antidilutive impact on such calculations, are included in the diluted weighted average outstanding shares used in our calculation of adjusted EPS, to the extent they have a dilutive impact on adjusted EPS given the adjusted net income in each period.
We use adjusted gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS, in conjunction with traditional GAAP measures to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that adjusted gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS provide our management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as these metrics exclude expenses that we do not consider to be indicative of our overall operating performance.

Free Cash Flow
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment. We believe that free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity as it measures our ability to generate cash, or our need to access additional sources of cash, to fund operations and investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $1.9 billion, which were primarily held for working capital purposes. Our cash equivalents are invested primarily in time deposits and in government money market funds.
Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations consist of our convertible notes, obligations under operating leases for office space, and contractual obligations for hosting services to support our business operations. See Part I, Item I, Note 7 — "Commitments and Contingencies" for additional discussion of our principal contractual commitments.
In the first quarter of 2025 we issued $690 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes, the proceeds of which were used to fund repurchases of outstanding 2026 Notes. We previously issued $1.7 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes in November 2021, of which $688 million in aggregate principal amount was repurchased in first quarter 2025 for $642 million, and $480 million in aggregate principal amount was repurchased in March 2024 for $415 million. We also previously issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes. See Part I, Item I, Note 6, "Borrowings" for additional discussion of the Notes.
Since our inception, we have generated losses from our operations as reflected in our accumulated deficit of $4.0 billion as of September 30, 2025. We expect to continue to incur operating losses on a GAAP basis for the foreseeable future due to the investments we will continue to make in research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative. As a result, we may require additional capital to execute our strategic initiatives to grow our business.
We believe our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. We believe we will meet longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, available cash balances, and potential future equity or debt transactions. Our future capital requirements, however, will depend on many factors, including our growth rate; the timing and extent of spending to support our research and development efforts; capital expenditures to build out new facilities and purchase hardware and software; the expansion of sales and marketing activities; and our continued need to invest in our IT infrastructure to support our growth. In addition, we may enter into additional strategic partnerships as well as agreements to acquire or invest in complementary offerings, teams and technologies, including intellectual property rights, which could increase our cash requirements. As a result of these and other factors, we may choose or be required to seek additional equity or debt financing sooner than we currently anticipate. In addition, depending on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors, we may also from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt, including the Notes, through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. If additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all, including as a
result of macroeconomic conditions such as high interest rates, volatility in the capital markets and liquidity concerns at, or failures of, banks and other financial institutions. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required, or if we cannot expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities because we lack sufficient capital, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in our net loss, adjusted for certain non-cash items, which include depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, gain on convertible notes, impairments, and other, and to a lessor extent, an increase in operating assets and liabilities. Our cash flows can fluctuate from period to period due to revenue seasonality, timing of billings, collections, and publisher payments, and historical cash flows are not necessarily indicative of our results in any future period.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment and purchases of non-marketable investments.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities consisted of proceeds from issuance of convertible notes, and the issuance of common stock under our employee equity plans, offset by repayments of convertible notes and the purchase of capped calls.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These principles require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and our actual results, our future financial statements will be affected.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our assessment of our exposures to market risk has not changed materially since the presentation set forth in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this report.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on management's evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to, and were effective to, provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Based on management's evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that there has not been any material change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially effect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are not party to any material legal proceedings at this time. From time to time, we may be subject to other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously described under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025.
Purchasing or owning Unity common stock involves investment risks including, but not limited to, the risks described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025. Any one of those risks could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations or reputation, which could cause our stock price to decline. Additional risks, trends and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation.
