“Kidoz delivered record second-quarter revenue, with revenue increasing 37% year over year and first-half revenue increasing 22%,” said Jason Williams, Kidoz CEO. “We view that growth as an important validation of the investments we have been making in our proprietary platform, our commercial organization and global operations that service advertisers in more than 60 markets annually. Our focus is not just in generating growth in a single quarter, but on building the capabilities and operating foundation that can build into durable long-term value for shareholders at scale.”
“It is also important to put the Q2 expense profile and reported loss in the proper context. Our bonuses and incentive compensation are paid across the organization in the second quarter and are based on the prior year’s performance. The 2026 payment therefore reflects the team’s strong performance in 2025. This compensation structure is deliberate: rather than carrying a higher fixed-salary base throughout the year, we seek to keep recurring salaries disciplined and place a meaningful portion of compensation in annual, performance-based incentives. We believe this is a sensible allocation of capital because it aligns a greater share of employee compensation with Company performance and rewards the people responsible for delivering that performance.”
“In Q2 2026, bonuses and incentive compensation were $862,863, compared with $687,728 in Q2 2025. The annual bonus is recognized in Q2 and therefore it has a concentrated effect on second-quarter operating expenses and the reported loss. Investors should therefore be careful not to view that expense level as a recurring quarterly run rate. The same principle applies when evaluating our broader expense base: we continue to invest in sales and marketing and software development and we believe those expenditures can strengthen the platform, expand our commercial reach and support future revenue growth and profits.”
“It is also important to view our investment levels against the historical pattern of our business. In prior years, a significant proportion of annual revenue has been generated in Q4, while investments in product development, technology, sales and personnel are incurred throughout the first three quarters. We therefore believe quarterly results should be considered in the context of this historical revenue pattern and the investments made to support the business. This is not guidance for any future quarter, but it is relevant context for our investment levels and quarterly profitability.”
“We are balancing cost discipline with investment behind an expanding opportunity. With record Q2 revenue, growth of 37% in the quarter and 22% in the first half, we believe the appropriate course is to keep building the capabilities that can support a larger business while remaining disciplined about capital deployment. Our objective is sustained growth, stronger operating leverage over time and increasing long-term shareholder value.”
Additional Financial Information
The Company’s financial statements note that, in the second quarter of 2026, certain server costs were reclassified from content and software development to cost of sales, and bonuses and incentive compensation were reclassified from several operating expense categories to a separate bonus and incentive compensation line. Comparative 2025 results were recast for presentation purposes. These reclassifications did not affect total income from operations. The separate presentation makes the annual bonus expense more visible in the quarter and should be considered when comparing Q2 operating expense levels.
