FOSTER CITY, CA – August 7, 2025 – QuinStreet, Inc. (Nasdaq: QNST), a leader in performance marketplaces and technologies for the financial services and home services industries, today announced financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
For the fiscal fourth quarter, the Company reported revenue of $262.1 million, up 32% year-over-year.
GAAP net income for the fiscal fourth quarter was $3.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the fiscal fourth quarter was $14.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal fourth quarter was $22.1 million, up 101% year-over-year.
For full fiscal year 2025, the Company reported revenue of $1.1 billion, up 78% year-over-year.
GAAP net income for fiscal year 2025 was $4.7 million, or $0.08 per share. Adjusted net income for fiscal year 2025 was $51.4 million or $0.88 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2025 was $81.3 million, up 299% year-over.
For full fiscal year 2025, the Company generated $85.0 million in operating cash flow and closed the year with $101.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and no bank debt.
“We delivered strong revenue growth and margin expansion again in FYQ4, capping a fiscal year 2025 of excellent financial and operating progress,” commented Doug Valenti, CEO of QuinStreet. “Full year revenue grew 78%. Full year Adjusted EBITDA grew 299%. The results include ongoing investments and early contributions from important market and product initiatives that we expect to fuel further growth at scale and margin expansion into the future.”
“Renewed demand from Auto Insurance clients was a key component of fiscal 2025 success, even as carrier spending growth moderated in the second half of the fiscal year due, at least in part, to tariff uncertainties. Some clients have recently begun to re-accelerate spending, and we expect strong sequential Auto Insurance revenue growth in FYQ1.”
"Looking further ahead, we believe that there is significant pent-up demand in Auto Insurance. Client spend is still generally guarded versus potential due to remaining tariff uncertainties. We are going to continue to invest aggressively to be positioned to prosper from that growing demand as it comes, just as we have done so successfully over past cycles.”
“Turning to our outlook, we expect revenue in fiscal Q1 to be about $280 million and Adjusted EBITDA to be about $20 million. Our initial view of full fiscal year 2026 is that revenue will grow about 10%, and Adjusted EBITDA will grow about 20%, as we work to further expand margins.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Definitions of Client Verticals
This release and the accompanying tables include a discussion of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per share and free cash flow and normalized free cash flow, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures that are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The term "adjusted EBITDA" refers to a financial measure that we define as net income (loss) less provision for income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, interest and other expense, net, acquisition costs, contingent consideration adjustment, litigation settlement expense, tax settlement expense, and restructuring costs. The term "adjusted net income" refers to a financial measure that we define as net income (loss) adjusted for amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition costs, contingent consideration adjustment, litigation settlement expense, tax settlement expense, restructuring costs, and impairment of investment, net of estimated taxes. The term "adjusted diluted net income per share" refers to a financial measure that we define as adjusted net income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. The term “free cash flow” refers to a financial measure that we define as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures and internal software development costs. The term “normalized free cash flow” refers to free cash flow less changes in operating assets and liabilities. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, our definition of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per share and free cash flow and normalized free cash flow may not be comparable to the definitions as reported by other companies.
We believe adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per share are relevant and useful information because they provide us and investors with additional measurements to analyze the Company's operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is useful to us and investors because (i) we seek to manage our business to a level of adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue, (ii) it is used internally by us for planning purposes, including preparation of internal budgets; to allocate resources; to evaluate the effectiveness of operational strategies and capital expenditures as well as the capacity to service debt, (iii) it is a key basis upon which we assess our operating performance, (iv) it is one of the primary metrics investors use in evaluating Internet marketing companies, (v) it is a factor in determining compensation, (vi) it is an element of certain financial covenants under our historical borrowing arrangements, and (vii) it is a factor that assists investors in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. In addition, we believe adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts, ratings agencies and other interested parties in our industry as a measure of financial performance, debt-service capabilities and as a metric for analyzing company valuations.
We use adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure because we believe it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact of changes in effective tax rates or fluctuations in permanent differences or discrete quarterly items), non-recurring charges, certain other items that we do not believe are indicative of core operating activities (such as litigation settlement expense, tax settlement expense, acquisition costs, contingent consideration adjustment, restructuring costs and other income and expense) and the non-cash impact of depreciation expense, amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense.
With respect to our adjusted EBITDA guidance, the Company is not able to provide a quantitative reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to certain items such as taxes, and income and expense from changes in fair value of contingent consideration from acquisitions. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on future GAAP financial results, and, as such, we also believe that any reconciliations provided would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.
Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per share are useful to us and investors because they present an additional measurement of our financial performance, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the impact of certain non-cash expenses (stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, and contingent consideration adjustment), non-recurring charges and certain other items that we do not believe are indicative of core operating activities. We believe that analysts and investors use adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per share as supplemental measures to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in our industry.
Free cash flow is useful to investors and us because it represents the cash that our business generates from operations, before taking into account cash movements that are non-operational, and is a metric commonly used in our industry to understand the underlying cash generating capacity of a company’s financial model. Normalized free cash flow is useful as it removes the fluctuations in operating assets and liabilities that occur in any given quarter due to the timing of payments and cash receipts and therefore helps investors understand the underlying cash flow of the business as a quarterly metric and the cash flow generation potential of the business model. We believe that analysts and investors use free cash flow multiples as a metric for analyzing company valuations in our industry.
We intend to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP is provided in the accompanying tables.
