Groupon operates an online marketplace that connects consumers with local merchants by offering discounted deals on goods and services, plus a Groupon Goods section for direct product sales. Deals are listed by partners, presented to subscribers, and purchased through Groupon; the company earns revenue by taking a percentage of each deal and through direct product sales. The service helps local businesses attract new customers by driving traffic and sales with discounted offers, while giving shoppers access to savings in their area. Its differentiator is its strong focus on local deals and partnerships, combining marketplace discounts with direct goods, and personalized deal notifications to encourage repeat use.

6 month growth

↑ 0%Groupon reported fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 results, marking its first return to growth in both billings and revenue in a decade. North America local revenue grew 4% in Q4 and 5% for the full year, whilst local billings increased 9% in Q4 and 14% for 2025. The company generated $64.5 million in trailing twelve-month operating cash flow from continuing operations and $49.9 million in free cash flow. CEO Dusan Senkypl described the results as a "landmark achievement" in Groupon's multi-year transformation, citing momentum in its core local category and improved platform velocity. The company aims to position itself as the trusted destination for quality local experiences. Groupon filed its Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission and posted earnings materials on its investor relations website.
Groupon reported fourth-quarter net income of $7.3 million, or 17 cents per share, meeting Wall Street expectations. However, the online daily deal service's revenue of $132.7 million fell short of analyst forecasts of $137.2 million. For the full year, the Chicago-based company reported a loss of $83.5 million, or $2.08 per share, with total revenue of $498.4 million.
Just now on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco, Andrew Mason of Groupon took the stage and announced a new launch called, "Grouspawn."
When Alexander Anastasin left his career in venture capital and corporate leadership at Groupon, he wasn't sure what would come next.
Two of the big winners in Groupon's forthcoming IPO are likely to be Oliver and Marc Samwer, the brothers who founded CityDeal, the European company Groupon bought in May 2010 to expand overseas.
