Frequently Asked Questions
What is Figma's revenue in 2025?
Figma reported $1.1 billion in annual revenue for fiscal year 2025, with Q4 2025 revenue of $303.8 million representing 40% year-over-year growth — an acceleration from prior quarters. The company trades on NYSE under ticker FIG.
Why did Adobe's acquisition of Figma fail?
Adobe offered $20 billion to acquire Figma in September 2022, but the deal collapsed in December 2023 under regulatory scrutiny from the EU, UK CMA, and US DOJ. The regulators argued the acquisition would eliminate competition in the design tool market. Figma received a $1 billion breakup fee from Adobe.
Is Figma profitable?
Figma has not disclosed net income figures as a newly public company, but its 136% net dollar retention rate and accelerating revenue growth suggest strong unit economics. The company's path to profitability is supported by its product-led growth model with minimal customer acquisition costs.
