Now let me turn the call over to Vivek for his remarks.
Thank you, Bret, and good morning, everyone. We're very pleased with our second quarter results, which exceeded expectations, with revenues growing nearly 10% and adjusted EBITDA growing nearly 12% year-over-year. This was our strongest quarter of revenue growth since 2021, and in that sense, we delivered truly breakthrough results, and it also represents the fourth consecutive quarter of revenue growth for Ziff Davis. While we continue to execute on our operating plans, we remain committed to repurchasing our shares and have successfully completed five tuck-in acquisitions in the first half of the year. Our healthy balance sheet continues to support ample opportunities for capital allocation. As was the case last quarter, four of our five reportable segments grew in revenues in Q2. These four segments, which historically were combined into the Digital Media segment, grew nearly 13%. As importantly, our fifth segment, Cybersecurity & Martech, declined less than 1% in the quarter and is poised to return to growth in Q3. Having the Cybersecurity & Martech segment contributing to overall growth would be an important milestone for the company. Let me share some observations about each of our five segments. As a reminder, this new reporting structure was implemented earlier in the year to provide greater transparency and a clear appreciation of the intrinsic value of our key businesses. Tech & Shopping's revenues grew by over 11%, with adjusted EBITDA growth of over 5%, supported by the CNET acquisition and some improving trends in our B2B business. In fact, in Q2, Spiceworks launched a successful paid subscription version of its cloud help desk software, which helps IT administrators manage help requests from employees. SaaS offering already has over 20,000 paying business customers. CNET Group also renewed its partnership with Best Buy, which allows both Best Buy and CNET Group sales teams to sell media inventory across each other's properties, while CNET content is also featured in Best Buy's retail touchpoints. Gaming & Entertainment grew nearly 8% in revenues, with adjusted EBITDA growth of almost 24%. IGN hosted its second annual fan-facing event, IGN Live, in Los Angeles in June, which has now ostensibly replaced the long-standing E3 conference. We had over 8,000 attendees in person, with over 27 hours of live programming and over 200 partners in games, film, TV, streaming, toys, comics, consumer packaged goods, and more. In addition to the in-person event, content was streamed on over 35 platforms over the course of IGN's two-week Summer of Gaming June programming. The event reached over 300 million fans around the world, up 91% year-over-year, and video views were 202 million, up 26% year-over-year. Social impressions were up 42% year-over-year at 367 million, while Instagram views were up 191% and TikTok views were up 300% year-over-year. The diversity of engagement and significant growth highlights the reach and depth of the global IGN community. Health & Wellness had a blockbuster quarter, with revenues up nearly 16% and adjusted EBITDA up 11%. Both the first and second quarter set records for the segment as our pharma commercialization services and Health & Wellness offerings both continue to be very strong. Our ability to deliver positive tangible results for pharma with both patients and providers continues to place us in a competitively strong position. Our continuing medical education business, PRIME Education, had a record quarter led by its quality improvement offering, which helps health systems address key challenges in healthcare delivery and generates real-world data to demonstrate ROI to pharma customers. And in our pregnancy and parenting business, we are reaping the benefit of the investment we made to build out our clinical studies business. Clinical studies include both pregnancy exposure registries and clinical trials, which play a crucial role in providing safety information for researchers and healthcare providers to understand the potential effects of drugs on pregnancies. With our unique market reach, we have been successful in supporting enrollment, which can be particularly challenging in this cohort. At the same time, our consumer Health & Wellness businesses, especially Lose It!, have strong momentum, and we have seized the opportunity to sell Lose It! subscriptions directly to consumers via the web instead of exclusively through the App Store, which is expected to have positive implications for the margin profile of the business. Connectivity also posted a tremendous quarter, with revenues up over 14% and adjusted EBITDA up over 12%. It's fantastic to see this segment returning to double-digit organic growth which, when combined with its nearly 50% adjusted EBITDA margins, qualifies it as a Rule of 60 business. Connectivity's growth reflects strong demand for several of its key products and services. Speedtest revenue in Q2 reflects demand from service providers who are seeking greater visibility and competitive network insights by using quality of service and network performance benchmarking data to differentiate their services from their competitors. Another key driver of Q2 revenue was expansion in emerging markets, particularly in EMEA and APAC regions, and demand from new customers who licensed the Speedtest Award to support their marketing efforts. In addition, RootMetrics benefited from service growth from existing clients who purchased more comprehensive testing packages to validate new 5G network upgrades and better understand their network performance against competitors. Downdetector also received strong interest from large enterprise clients and service providers to improve real-time observability of online services as an early warning system to improve their responsiveness to outages and customer service degradation. All of this, coupled with revenue growth from Ekahau, resulted in a terrific quarter for the business. Cybersecurity & Martech was close to delivering flat revenues in the quarter and posted over 5% adjusted EBITDA growth. And as I mentioned earlier, we are optimistic about the segment returning to revenue growth starting in Q3. Momentum in our VPN business accelerated in Q2, driven by a combination of direct customer acquisition, new partnerships, and product enhancements that support customer retention and ARPA growth. In Q2, we launched VIPRE Integrated Email Security, a significant leap forward in our enterprise-grade cloud-based email security designed for small and medium businesses. VIPRE IES was designed to integrate seamlessly with Microsoft 365 and is powered by an AI engine leveraging natural language processing, semantic analysis, and machine learning to identify and block threats that often bypass traditional email filters. It's one of several examples of how we're leveraging AI to deliver both product innovations and operational efficiencies across our portfolio. At RetailMeNot, we've deployed an AI customer service chatbot that has achieved a roughly 50% case deflection rate for inbound chats. This means that half of the customers who initiate a chat with our customer support bot are able to get their issue resolved without needing to be transferred to a live human agent. This is a great example of using AI to automate and scale our support while enhancing the customer experience. In our Health & Wellness segment, the Lose It! app has harnessed AI in an effort to deliver real, measurable health outcomes for its consumers. By introducing AI-powered voice and photo meal logging, the team has not only made tracking meals easier and more intuitive, but has directly helped users achieve their goals. Members are logging meals 3.5 times faster and tracking twice as many foods, making the habit of daily food journaling stick. This increased engagement translates directly to success, with users achieving 6% more weight loss on average. We're also leveraging AI to refine how we serve our advertisers. For instance, we've created an AI platform that creates precise audience segments. This platform is powered by hundreds of millions of data signals we collect in real-time from across our diverse portfolio of properties and translates this proprietary privacy-protected data into what we call moment of influence solutions. These audience segments can be seamlessly activated across individual Ziff Davis properties, the broader Ziff Davis network, and the open web and social media. The initial response from ad clients has been very favorable. Our healthy balance sheet with substantial cash and leverage capacity serves as the foundation for our capital allocation strategy. We continue to adhere to a patient and disciplined approach to identifying and integrating durable, high-quality assets while consistently buying back our stock. Of the three acquisitions we consummated in Q2, I was particularly pleased to see two tuck-in acquisitions in our Cybersecurity & Martech segment, one that strengthens our email deliverability services and the other enhances our email archiving offering. The third was an acquisition of the Well+Good brand and content library for our Health & Wellness segment, which we've already migrated onto theSkimm platform, which itself was acquired earlier in the year and is performing ahead of expectations. Our acquisition program continues to focus on strong and enduring brands in high-value verticals, businesses in which we can unlock value through platforms, people, and know-how, and transacting at reasonable valuations and generating attractive cash-on-cash returns. With that, let me hand the call back to Bret.
Thank you, Vivek. Let's discuss our financial results. Our earnings release reflects both our GAAP and adjusted non-GAAP financial results for Q2 2025. My commentary will primarily relate to our Q2 2025 adjusted financial results and the comparison to prior periods. Please see Slide 4 for the summary of our financial results. Q2 2025 revenues were $352.2 million as compared with revenues of $320.8 million for the prior year period, reflecting growth of nearly 10%. Q2 2025 adjusted EBITDA was $107.7 million as compared with $96.3 million for the prior year period, reflecting growth of nearly 12%. Our adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 30.6%. We reported second-quarter adjusted diluted EPS of $1.24 as compared with $1.18 in Q2 of 2024, reflecting growth of more than 5%. This increase reflects higher adjusted EBITDA and lower fully diluted shares outstanding. This was partially offset by a number of factors, the largest of which related to changes in certain foreign exchange rates, which drove an increase in other losses net for the quarter that reduced our Q2 2025 EPS by approximately $0.10 per diluted share. Our second-quarter financial results reflect significant growth, and it's worth repeating Vivek's observation that this quarter reflects the company's highest level of quarterly total revenue growth since 2021. And while a portion of this growth was contributed by recently acquired businesses, the quarter also reflects positive total organic growth, including organic growth from contributions from our Gaming & Entertainment, Health & Wellness, and Connectivity segments. Certain brands within Technology & Shopping and Cybersecurity & Martech contributed to organic revenue growth as well. We are very pleased with these results and the progress we have made through the first half of 2025. We believe that these results reflect the diversity and resiliency of our revenue streams and highlight the ability of our businesses to navigate the demands of their respective business environments and collectively grow revenues while continuing to meet our overall profitability goals. Slide 5 reflects performance summaries for our two primary sources of revenue, advertising and performance marketing and subscription and licensing. Both of these revenue sources grew significantly in the second quarter of 2025. Q2 2025 advertising and performance marketing grew 15.5% as compared with the prior year period, while subscription and licensing revenues grew by 5%. Q2 2025 other revenues declined by $2.2 million year-over-year, primarily reflecting a decline in the contribution from our Humble Games Publishing business. Slides 6 through 10 reflect the Q2 financial results of each of our reportable segments, which Vivek discussed in some detail already. But again, four of our five segments grew revenue in Q2 2025, while Cybersecurity & Martech's revenue declined by less than 1% as compared with the prior year period. All five of our segments delivered significant adjusted EBITDA growth during the second quarter. Please refer to Slide 11 to discuss our balance sheet. As of the end of Q2 2025, we had $457 million of cash and cash equivalents and $140 million of long-term investments. We also have significant leverage capacity on both a gross and net leverage basis. As of June 30, 2025, gross leverage was 1.7x trailing 12 months adjusted EBITDA, and our net leverage was 0.8x and 0.5x, including the value of our financial investments. During the second quarter, we closed three small acquisitions to expand the product portfolios of our Health & Wellness and Cybersecurity & Martech businesses. We anticipate that during the balance of 2025, we will continue to be an active and disciplined acquirer of companies and assets that we believe will enhance the ability of our existing businesses to serve their respective markets. Overall, during the first half of 2025, we deployed more than $50 million of cash for acquisitions. And during the third quarter, we have already closed the transaction to further diversify the product offering of our Martech business. During the first quarter call, we noted our intent to continue to repurchase our common stock. And since the beginning of the second quarter, we have repurchased nearly 1.4 million Ziff Davis shares. And since June 30, 2024, we deployed more than $170 million and repurchased more than 4 million Ziff Davis shares or approximately 10% of our shares outstanding. We have more than 4 million shares remaining under our stock repurchase authorization, and we continue to believe that the current trading level of our stock does not at all reflect the intrinsic value of our underlying businesses. As a result, while we will continue to ensure that we have ample capital to support our M&A program, we plan to continue to repurchase shares of our common stock. Turning to Slide 13. We are reaffirming the fiscal year 2025 guidance range that we presented in February 2025. We have had a solid first half of 2025, and as we discussed, significant second-quarter growth. Our guidance range is broad and has a top end that reflects fiscal year 2025 projected results that imply more than 7% revenue growth, nearly 10% adjusted EBITDA growth, and 10% adjusted EPS growth as compared with fiscal year 2024. The breadth of our guidance range reflects a range of different positive outcomes. And because of this, we are not altering the range at this time. With regard to the balance of the year, we currently anticipate at least mid-single-digit revenue growth for both Q3 and Q4 2025, with Q4 potentially being a bit stronger than Q3. With regard to adjusted EBITDA, we expect similar margins in each of our third and fourth quarters as compared with 2024, implying stronger adjusted EBITDA growth in Q4 as compared with Q3. Adjusted diluted EPS is expected to reflect the implied growth in adjusted EBITDA and may continue to be impacted by changes in the value of certain foreign currencies, amongst other factors. We expect our Health & Wellness and Connectivity businesses to be the largest contributors to second-half growth. And note, fourth quarter is typically our seasonally largest revenue quarter. Slide 20 includes a reconciliation of free cash flow. Q2 2025 free cash flow was $26.9 million, 7.5% higher than the prior year period. As of the end of Q2 2025, trailing 12 months free cash flow was $233 million, nearly 27% higher than the prior trailing 12-month period. Our Q2 2025 financial results were robust. They reflect the highly diverse mix of revenue that the company's products and services generate as well as the company's ability to maintain significant adjusted EBITDA margins during a period of total growth. We believe our Q2 results and the incremental insight into the performance of each of our five divisions, which we now provide through our expanded reportable segment disclosures, should allow investors to more fully appreciate the diversity of our revenues, the strength of our margins, and the scale of each of our businesses. Overall, we believe that our second quarter results strengthened our overall outlook for 2025. As we move into the second half of 2025, we plan to use our balance sheet to continue to support our M&A program, and we expect to continue to purchase our stock at its current depressed trading level. Importantly, we remain committed to identifying and pursuing all opportunities that we believe offer strong prospects to enhance shareholder value. With that, I will now ask the operator to rejoin us to instruct you on how to queue for questions.
And the first question today is coming from Shyam Patil from Susquehanna.
Nice quarter. I had one question, I guess for Vivek. With the increased segment-level disclosures that you guys are providing, what are you hoping to communicate to the market, especially regarding the intrinsic value versus the current public market valuation?
Yes, thank you for the question. We genuinely hope that investors will take the time to evaluate each of the five segments. As I mentioned, four of them experienced a collective growth of 13%. Breaking it down, three segments had double-digit growth, one had high-single-digit growth, and we anticipate growth in Cyber & Martech, which did not grow this time. There are varying levels of growth and margin profiles; the adjusted EBITDA grew 12% overall, with segment growth ranging from 5% to 24%. Each segment is worth exploring. More broadly, as investors analyze our company, we hope they recognize a few key points: our pharma commercialization and consumer health platform, represented by the Health & Wellness segment, is growing in double digits; our data-as-a-service business, benefiting from AI trends, is also seeing double-digit growth in the Connectivity segment; we operate at the heart of the rapidly expanding video games sector in the Gaming & Entertainment segment; and we have a software unit focused on growth in Cybersecurity with strong margins and organic growth. Our Tech & Shopping portfolio is also showing impressive EBITDA growth. It may seem like a lot at times, but if investors take time to examine the different components, I believe they will find a compelling investment opportunity. I would also encourage our analysts to consider a sum-of-the-parts valuation exercise, as it could be enlightening. I understand this is relatively new, with only a couple of quarters of reporting under the new structure. It can take time for this information to be fully absorbed. Additionally, we've been responsive to market feedback, as shareholders have been requesting this for a while, so we are glad to provide it and hope it offers more clarity on the intrinsic value of the company.
Your next question is coming from Cory Carpenter from JPMorgan.
I had two, I think both for you, Vivek. Maybe just to start, if you could update us on trends you're seeing broadly in the ad market. Last time we talked three months ago, of course, there was a lot of disruption going on around Liberation Day. And then secondly, good to see you back in double-digit growth. Just maybe how are you thinking about the sustainability of the trends you saw this quarter, and Vivek, could you just remind us of how you think about the right long-term growth and margin framework for the company?
Yes. Thanks, Cory. So the ad business grew a little over 15%. With the new segment disclosure, you can kind of see the composition by category. So Health & Wellness is 42% of the ad business; the Shopping & Tech is kind of another 40%, but Shopping is about 21%, Tech is about 19%. So you get a sense of where that breaks, and then Gaming is about 16%. So in order, I guess, of importance, what I would say is Health is very strong. Great drug pipeline, high-teens growth. We feel very good about this category near term, long term. Shopping was down a touch, but that's mostly the Offers brand. So I wouldn't say that's a reflection of necessarily market, and the Offers brand is a brand that we put into the managed decline category. So we feel reasonably good about where retail sits. Tech was strong. And yes, CNET was obviously a major contributor in our equation, but consumer tech generally outside of CNET is strong and B2B is improving. It's still declining, just to be very clear, but it's declining less than we thought, which is really good. Gaming, it's kind of up mid-teens. So as I like to do when I talk about the advertising market, I do like to break it down by category because I think it does operate categorically versus in aggregate, but generally feeling really good about that. With respect to your thoughts, question around long-term growth, look, I think our mindset hasn't changed, which is we expect to be a double-digit total growth company from a revenue point of view, roughly half organic, roughly half inorganic. Those delineations are always funny because of the way in which we do organic and inorganic calculations. You can have a business that you've acquired that is growing significantly organically and that we put into our inorganic category. So put aside, I'd say roughly 50-50 double-digit growth and then mid-30s margin. So I don't think that's changed. I think that's been the way we've been thinking about the business for some time, as you know. That hasn't been what we accomplished over the last little bit, but we're both glad to be back there. And that's where we expect to be long term.
Your next question is coming from Ross Sandler from Barclays.
I have a question about the incremental EBITDA margin. With the new segment breakdown, which I appreciate, it seems that Tech and Health, your two largest ad revenue sources, both experienced solid growth but had margin contraction in the second quarter. Can you explain if some of this is due to one-time acquisition-related costs or if there are other factors affecting that margin? More broadly, given that we are now growing organically across the board, how do you view the incremental margin and its potential impact in the future?
Yes. No, Ross, I would say that I can't point to anything specifically around any changes in the cost structure of the business. And so a lot of this is when you divide our company, which is relatively small, into five pieces, I think you can see some lumpiness because similarly, Gaming & Entertainment's EBITDA grew 24%, right? So I often say it's better to look at these things on a multiple-quarter basis to really get a sense of what the true kind of EBITDA margin is for these segments. So I wouldn't say that there's anything specific in any of these businesses that I would point to that speaks to kind of a structural change in the margin profile of the business. Bret, I don't know if you...
I think that's right. I think we do get to sort of the math of relatively small numbers when you take 1% of the revenue item in a single quarter. In any given quarter, you have mix dynamics, you have campaign dynamics, you have one-off dynamics, you have investment dynamics. They could be for people, they could be with vendors. So I think it's more important, as Vivek said, to keep that lens pretty wide and compare it to our overall expectations of achieving sort of mid-30s adjusted EBITDA margins. In any given three-month period, you're going to see some variability. M&A is also a factor as we, in different divisions, in as we mentioned, Tech & Shopping, CNET, whatnot. So...
And then just overall, as a company, obviously, on a year-over-year basis, we have seen some margin expansion in the quarter. There was one thing as I was thinking about this in Tech & Shopping we have this PC game investment business where we've been investing in games. That is a business that we are essentially sunsetting. That has actually been a drag. So that might be something there, but that's being sunset. And so that might be one small piece on the Tech & Shopping, but again small...
Your next question is coming from Ygal Arounian from Citi.
I apologize if I missed any commentary on this since I joined the call a bit late. It seems like there's been much more discussion this quarter than in previous ones, indicating an acceleration in trends related to AI overviews, search, and the distribution of traffic on the open web. I know you've mentioned your positioning in this area and that a significant portion of your traffic comes directly to you. Can you provide an update on what you're observing and your thoughts on it? Additionally, could you discuss your approach with LLMs and whether there have been any changes in your perspective?
Thank you. I want to reiterate that 35% of our total revenues come from ads on our owned and operated web traffic, with about 40% of that derived from search. This gives a sense of our scale. When you consider these figures, it becomes clear that our business model is quite different from many others. While there is certainly some volatility in search engine result pages, we have been discussing zero-click search for nearly a decade. This is why we are not heavily reliant on SEO; we achieve a lot of engagement outside of web traffic. A crucial point to note is that we are not primarily a programmatic ads business, as our annual revenue from such ads is below $50 million. I want to emphasize that. I've shared various examples of how we monetize our brands, such as IGN Live and our parenting and pregnancy clinical studies business, along with partnerships like Best Buy and Spiceworks software. These are just a few examples; there are many more. Our business model is much more dynamic and diversified. As investors examine our company with the new segment reporting, I believe they will realize that we have perhaps focused too much on certain topics when discussing our business. Additionally, a significant portion of our adjusted EBITDA, including Connectivity and Cyber & Martech, is not tied to the AI search narrative. Regarding your question about licensing and relationships with large language model owners and operators, we are still pursuing our lawsuit against OpenAI to protect our intellectual property and ensure fair compensation for our valuable content, which has been heavily scraped. We believe we should be compensated by AI systems for this. At the same time, we are looking to partner with AI companies in the future and are having ongoing discussions about arrangements that allow for a fair value exchange. Furthermore, since the beginning of July, we have started blocking known AI bots at the CDN level with partners like Cloudflare to prevent unauthorized access. Previously, we relied on robots.txt, which bots can ignore, so blocking them at the CDN level is more effective. We believe this is an important step. Overall, we think that through these combined efforts, we can shift the conversation to a more constructive and productive space.
Okay. Great. And then I want to follow up on the moment of influence product and it sounds new and interesting. And maybe talk about the go-to-market approach there a little bit more, what that opportunity is and expand a little bit more on what you're seeing so far from advertisers.
We have developed a proprietary AI-based data management platform that collects various signals from all our touchpoints. This system determines the ideal targets for marketers based on their goals and suggests when and where to execute campaigns across our properties, including content on our sites, social media, video platforms, and the broader web. This gives us extensive inventory paired with significant signal capture. Our approach is not to sell advertising at a corporate level; instead, we do this within our different verticals. Each vertical, like Health & Wellness, IGN entertainment, CNET Group, or RetailMeNot, will have its customized version of this technology to enhance existing ad products. The first implementation is called Halo within the Everyday Health Group, which has gained considerable traction. Versions of this technology will be launched within each selling group over the next couple of quarters. We're enthusiastic about this because our data sets, enhanced by AI, provide a level of addressability and targetability that is very compelling. Importantly, this all relies on first-party data that is privacy-protected, which is crucial in many industries where we operate. We are looking forward to the potential of this initiative.
Your next question is coming from Robert Coolbrith from Evercore ISI.
I wanted to ask about Health & Wellness. It seems there was a significant increase, not so much in spending per advertising customer, but in the number of participating advertising customers. Can you provide any insights into the trends and what we might expect over the next few quarters, especially since we lack extensive historical data? I'm particularly curious about what has driven the increased participation from advertisers, considering your growth in advertising customers appears to be up about 14% year-over-year, which is a notable acceleration.
Thank you for the question. The increase in our advertiser count can be attributed to our efforts to broaden our reach beyond just pharmaceuticals, which remains a strong focus for Health & Wellness. We have been successful in attracting more brands that align with health and wellness marketing, with brands like theSkimm supporting this expansion. While we value our position in the pharmaceutical category, we also recognize the potential in adjacent markets. There's a growing societal emphasis on health and wellness, which is driving interest in longevity brands and solutions. We are aligning well with brands like theSkimm in these areas. Additionally, our subscription-based property, Lose It!, has started to accept advertising for our significant number of free customers, tapping into a market interested in calorie tracking, meal logging, weight loss, and fitness, which brings more advertising opportunities.
Great. I would like to follow up on Connectivity. It seems that there was a noticeable change in your quarterly revenue per customer in that area. Could you discuss some of the trends there as well?
Yes. That's a funny one. I'll tell you what. This is an example of creating a set of common metrics across five divisions that aren't always common, as we just pointed out. And so this is a little bit of a different animal where you have a combination of high price point customers on the Speedtest Intelligence side matched with lower price point customers on the Ekahau side. And so sometimes that has a little bit to do with mix and it's a computed metric more than a managed metric, if I'm going to be honest with you. So it's not something I've even looked at. It would be something that I'd have to probably go in and do a little bit of gathering, which we can do and look at. But overall, I think what it probably points to is we're seeing a lot more growth out of Speedtest Intelligence and RootMetrics and the businesses that are at a higher price point. Ekahau is growing, but it's not growing yet at the rate that we'd like it to grow, and that is that I'm excited for. It's not showing up yet. It's probably more of a 2026 event, but the WiFi 7 router refresh will be a really interesting tailwind for this business, but it's not playing out yet.
Thank you. There are no other questions in queue at this time. I would now like to hand the call back to Bret Richter for any closing remarks.
Thank you very much, Tom, and thank you, everyone, for participating in today's call. We look forward to our ongoing dialogue with you in the balance of the year. Have a great day.
Thank you. This does conclude today's conference call. You may disconnect your lines at this time, and have a wonderful day. Thank you once again for your participation.
