NIQ Global Intelligence Reports $1,040.8 Million Revenue for Quarter Ended June 30, 2025

NIQ Global Intelligence plc reported a revenue of $1,040.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, marking a 5.6% increase from $985.8 million in the same period last year. For the first half of 2025, the company generated $2,006.7 million in revenue, up from $1,947.7 million in the prior year, reflecting a 3.0% growth. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by strong performance in the EMEA segment, which saw a 9.5% rise in revenue, and a 2.7% increase in the Americas segment. The company reported an operating income of $39.5 million for the quarter, a significant turnaround from an operating loss of $27.3 million in the previous year.

Compared to the previous fiscal period, NIQ's operating expenses decreased slightly to $1,001.3 million from $1,013.1 million, primarily due to lower restructuring costs and a reduction in impairment of long-lived assets. The company reported a net loss attributable to NIQ of $14.1 million for the quarter, a substantial improvement from a net loss of $189.2 million in the same quarter of 2024. The loss per share for the quarter was $(0.14), compared to $(1.89) in the prior year. The company attributed the improved financial performance to higher pricing from strong renewals, new capabilities from innovative products, and growth in emerging markets.

Strategically, NIQ completed the acquisition of Analytical Flavor Systems, Inc. for $12.5 million in April 2025, enhancing its artificial intelligence capabilities. Additionally, the company underwent a significant reorganization, becoming NIQ Global Intelligence plc on July 22, 2025, and completed its initial public offering (IPO) on July 24, 2025, raising approximately $985.1 million. The proceeds from the IPO were primarily used to repay outstanding debts, including approximately $533.4 million under its revolving credit facility.

Operationally, NIQ reported a total of 295 million ordinary shares outstanding as of August 11, 2025. The company continues to focus on expanding its market presence, particularly in Latin America, following its acquisition of M-Trix, a data intelligence company based in Brazil, which closed on August 1, 2025. The company also reported a net dollar retention rate of 105% for its Intelligence subscription revenue, indicating strong customer loyalty and growth potential.

Looking ahead, NIQ anticipates continued revenue growth driven by its strategic initiatives, including the integration of acquired technologies and expansion into new markets. The company remains focused on enhancing its operational efficiencies and leveraging its AI capabilities to provide comprehensive consumer insights. However, it also acknowledges potential risks related to market conditions and the ongoing impact of geopolitical factors, particularly concerning its operations in Russia.
