Relevance 8Bird's 2025 accounts: headcount nearly halved, operating profit up to €101M as revenue dips to €475M - Dealroom

Bird (fka MessageBird) reported FY2025 revenue of €475M, down from ~€511M prior year, with operating profit surging to €101M.

Aggressive cost-cutting (headcount nearly halved) drove profitability despite revenue decline, signaling strategic restructuring.

Revenue €475M; operating profit €101M; headcount "nearly halved" — no YoY % explicitly stated in headline.

Financials revenue €475M growth yoy no number in headline guidance maintained stock move no number in headline segment no segment breakdown in headline

Why it matters: A leaner Bird could undercut RingCentral on price in UCaaS/CPaaS; the profitability pivot suggests a fiercer competitor in enterprise voice/CX.
