Unity Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results
SAN FRANCISCO, November 5, 2026 -- Unity (NYSE: U), the world's leading game engine, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
"Third-quarter performance was our strongest ever, with Vector growing 126% year-over-year and 40% quarter-over-quarter, and the first GAAP profitable quarter since our IPO," said Matt Bromberg, President and CEO of Unity.
"We are seeing the compounding impact of our flywheel strategy: more creators make more games on our platform, and more games fuel the need for more discovery through advertising."
Select revenue highlights for Q3 2026 are as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended September 30,
• Non-Strategic Revenue of $5 million
• Adjusted EBITDA of $290 million to $295 million, up 132% - 136% year-over-year
1 Consists primarily of revenue from (i) our ironSource Ads network, which was sunset in the second quarter of 2026, and (ii) our Supersonic publishing business which was sold on August 4, 2026.
2 These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the "Forward-Looking Statements" safe harbor section below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. We have not reconciled our estimates for non-GAAP financial measures in this press release and in the earnings call referencing this press release to GAAP due to the uncertainty and potential variability of expenses that may be incurred in the future. As a result, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort and we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. We have provided a reconciliation of other GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the financial statement tables for our third quarter non-GAAP results included in this press release.
