Newsmax Announces Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Company Reports Revenues of $46.4 million, an 18.4% Increase Year-Over-Year
Broadcast Revenues Soar to $38.0 Million, a 28.5% Increase Year-Over-Year
Newsmax Remains the Fourth Highest-Rated Cable
News Channel
With Over 26 Million Quarterly Viewers
BOCA RATON, FL – August 19, 2025 – Newsmax Inc. (NYSE: NMAX) (“Newsmax” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Management Commentary
“We are excited to report another strong quarter with impressive financial and operational results that demonstrate the power of our growing cable and FAST channels,” said Christopher Ruddy, Chief Executive Officer of Newsmax Inc. “Our second quarter revenue growth reflects the continued strength of our business model and the resonance of our content with American audiences.”
Ruddy continued, “Our strong financial position, bolstered by our successful IPO and access to public markets, provides the strategic flexibility to capitalize on the significant opportunities in the evolving media landscape. We are building for sustainable, long-term growth while expanding our reach across multiple distribution channels and platforms.”
“With our diversified revenue streams showing growth across affiliate fees, advertising, and subscription services, and supported by a strong balance sheet, we are well-positioned to capitalize on ongoing trends in streaming, international markets and multi-platform distribution. We remain committed to delivering long-term value for our shareholders as we execute on this strategy.”
Dominion Resolution
On August 18, 2025, Newsmax announced that the Company reached a settlement agreement with Dominion Voting Systems, concluding a defamation lawsuit that Dominion filed in Delaware Superior Court in 2021.
“We are pleased to have reached a resolution with Dominion,” commented Ruddy. “This settlement enables us to move forward from the litigation and remain focused on delivering the trusted news and analysis our viewers rely on every day. This was a strategic business decision made in the best interests of the company and its shareholders, and we remain confident in the integrity of our journalism and steadfast in our commitment to a free and vibrant press.”
The resolution of the Dominion suit, which ends all litigation the Company faced relating to the 2020 election, is expected to significantly reduce Newsmax’s legal expenses for the foreseeable future.
Second Quarter 2025 Business and Operational Highlights
| ● | Newsmax continued to grow its domestic and global reach, expanding its footprint to over 60 million U.S. homes and to over 100 countries: |

| o | Expanded distribution through pay TV Hulu+ achieving household penetration of approximately 60 million U.S. homes. |

| ● | Added to Russell 2000® and Russell 3000® indexes, providing increased visibility via the $10.6 trillion in institutional investor assets benchmarked against Russell’s U.S. indexes. |
Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights
| ● | Newsmax reported total quarterly revenues of $46.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, representing an 18.4% year-over-year increase. |
| o | Total Broadcasting revenues grew significantly year-over-year, increasing from $29.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 to $38.0 million for the second quarter of 2025 – an increase of 28.5%. |
| o | Advertising Revenues increased 26.2% year-over-year to $29.9 million driven by higher linear cable and satellite advertising due to higher Nielsen ratings which translated to higher rates. |
2
| o | Affiliate Revenues increased 7.3% year-over-year to $7.3 million driven by new contractual relationships as well as rate increases that went into effect in 2025. |
| o | Subscription Revenues increased 5.2% year-over-year to $7.0 million driven by an increase in Newsmax + subscribers. |
| o | Product Sales Revenues increased 5.1% year-over-year to $1.6 million driven by continued sales of “Pay Zero Taxes” but was offset by lower nutraceutical sales. |
| ● | Newsmax reported a quarterly Net Loss of $(75.2) million as compared to a Net Loss of $(4.8) million reported in the prior year quarter primarily driven by the settlement of the Dominion lawsuit which was settled on August 18, 2025 but recognized in Q2 2025 in accordance with GAAP. |
| ● | Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA was $(3.8) million, a decrease of $5.7 million, or 300.1%, from the amount reported in the same quarter last year, primarily due to an increase in cost of revenues and general and administrative costs associated with the continued expansion of the business and costs associated with becoming a public company. (See reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA below) |
| ● | The Company ended the quarter with $197.9 million in Cash and short-term investments. Cash and Cash Equivalents was $33.8 million and short-term investment was $164.1 million |
Newsmax is reiterating its previously issued full-year 2025 revenue guidance of $180 million to $190 million.
“Our second quarter results demonstrate the strength and resilience of our diversified revenue model,” commented Darryle Burnham, Chief Financial Officer. “The growth we’re seeing across our affiliate fees, advertising revenue and Newsmax+ subscriptions, combined with our strong balance sheet and access to capital markets, positions us well to execute on our long-term strategic vision while maintaining the operational flexibility needed to pursue emerging growth opportunities.”

USE AND DEFINITION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release contains a financial measure that has not been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). This financial measure is Adjusted EBITDA.
Non-GAAP financial measures are used to supplement the financial information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant U.S. GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA1 is defined as revenues less cost of revenues and general and administrative expenses and does not include depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, impairment charges, unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities, other corporate matters (consisting primarily of certain litigation expenses, and related fees, for specific legal proceedings that the Company has determined are infrequent and unusual in terms of their magnitude), other, net, and income tax expense.
| 1 | The Company compensates for limitations of the adjusted EBITDA measure by prominently disclosing GAAP net income (loss), which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and providing investors with a reconciliation from GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA on page 8. |
