Klarna released its Q1 2025 financial results showcasing $701 million in revenue and 100 active users, marking a 15% growth year-over-year. However, this growth is overshadowed by a significant increase in net losses, which doubled from $47 million in Q1 2024 to $99 million this quarter. The company's rising consumer credit losses, now at $136 million, highlight that more users are failing to pay on time. This trend coincides with declining consumer sentiment driven by economic factors including tariffs and inflation, which are stressing American consumers financially.
Klarna's growth underscores a shift where more customers are utilizing its buy now, pay later model, but rising consumer defaults are impacting profitability.
Despite strong revenue growth, Klarna has more customers defaulting on their payments, indicating troubling trends in consumer confidence and financial stability.
