JetBrains posted CZK 16,008 million in revenue for 2025, a 6.3% year-on-year increase and its highest on record, yet recorded a net loss of CZK 315 million - the first reported loss in the tracked history. Profitability deteriorated sharply: EBITDA fell to CZK 918 million (a 5.73% margin), net margin turned negative at -1.97%, and return on equity plunged to -11.1% (about 107 percentage points below the prior year). The company remained cash-rich with net cash of CZK 7,584 million and retained the top rank among 15 Czech media companies by revenue, but total equity dropped to CZK 1,974 million as liabilities rose.
Underlying trends show a pronounced squeeze on margins and profitability despite robust operating cash generation (CZK 6,353 million). Gross profit and gross margin contracted materially, while depreciation, financing swings and heavy investing outflows (cash flow from investing of CZK -10,273 million) weighed on the bottom line and cash balances (change in cash -CZK 5,534 million). Key balance-sheet figures include total assets of CZK 19,470 million and total liabilities of CZK 17,495 million. The figures span a full series of annual financial indicators from 2005-2025 and reflect standalone financial-statement metrics.
