Question · Q4 2024

Clark Lampin from BTIG requested more detail on the assumption for structural hold trends and the rationale behind the more deliberate mention of international expansion.

Answer

CEO Jason Robins explained that confidence in a higher long-term structural hold ceiling comes from the accelerating rate of improvement in bet mix, which has exceeded expectations. On international expansion, he clarified that the commentary was not intended to signal a change in strategy; the primary focus remains the U.S. and Canada, and any international moves would be opportunistic rather than a near-term priority.

Clark Lampin's questions to AppLovin (APP) leadership

Question · Q3 2025

Clark Lampin questioned how AppLovin balances the growth of its new e-commerce business with potential displacement for core gaming customers, and if model improvements will mitigate this. He also asked about the progress on tuning onboarding flows and generative AI creative tools, and if they are gating factors for a general availability launch.

Answer

Adam Foroughi, Co-Founder, CEO, and Chairperson, AppLovin, explained that increased advertiser density expands spend for gaming customers, as the model better utilizes excess impressions, leading to more targeted ads and higher CPMs. He noted that Axon Ad site bots are being tuned and generative AI creatives are weeks to months away for testing. Neither is a gating factor for general release; the focus is on a seamless onboarding experience.

Answer

Adam Foroughi, Co-Founder, CEO, and Chairperson, AppLovin, noted that AI bots are already integrated for quality checks, with more to come. Generative AI-based ad creatives are close to testing (weeks/months), but the main gating factor for general release is optimizing the onboarding funnel for a seamless customer experience without overwhelming support needs.
