Pinterest Adjusts First-Quarter Guidance After Closing Deal to Buy TVScientific

By Robb M. Stewart

Pinterest shifted its financial targets for the first quarter after closing the deal to buy tvScientific.

The social-media company said it now expects revenue in the first three months of the year will be in a range of $958 million to $978 million, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization will be between $163 million and $183 million.

Pinterest in February had projected revenue growth would slow in the current quarter amid a pullback from advertisers, previously estimating revenue for the period of $951 million to $971 million, which would represent year-over-year growth of between 11% and 14%. The earlier guidance anticipated first-quarter adjusted Ebitda of $166 million to $186 million.

The company in December said it was acquiring tvScientific, a connected television advertising platform. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed at the time.

Pinterest recorded a 14% rise in fourth-quarter revenue to $1.32 billion, up from $1.15 billion a year earlier, while revenue for 2025 grew 16% to $4.22 billion from $3.65 billion the year before.
