An X post cites Anthropic's S-1 filing as reporting $974 million in GAAP operating profit for the second quarter, pushing back on earlier commentary by Ed Zitron that dismissed Anthropic's projected Q2 profitability as "only non-GAAP EBITDA profitable." The post also notes that the headline $80.7 billion first-half net loss included $72.4 billion in non-cash revaluation charges, and that Anthropic recorded a GAAP operating profit in Q2. The author frames the filing as vindication against Zitron's earlier skepticism.
Source report
The S-1 filing is now public, and it appears to contradict earlier skepticism about Anthropic's financial performance.
In May, critics dismissed Anthropic's projected Q2 profitability as "only non-GAAP EBITDA profitable." The filing now reports $974 million in GAAP operating profit for that quarter.
Notably, the headline $80.7 billion first-half net loss included $72.4 billion in non-cash revaluation charges — and Anthropic still recorded a GAAP operating profit in Q2.
Critics who had seized on the earlier profitability claims now face a filing that appears to have aged poorly.
