Zedge Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results
Activesubscribers^1^ increased 37% to a record of nearly 900,000; subscription revenue increased13%
Cashflow from operations of $0.9 million; Free cash flow^2^ of$0.8 million after ~$1.0 million of payments mainly related to the global restructuring and the tail end of the GuruShots retention bonus
Revenuereturned to growth despite the TikTok ban in the U.S. at the start of the quarter
LaunchedDataSeeds.AI, a new content marketplace initiative for AI training sets, creating B2B revenue opportunities
New York, NY – June 12,2025: Zedge, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: ZDGE), $ZDGE, a leader in digital marketplaces and interactive games that provide content, enable creativity, empower self-expression and facilitate community, today announced results for its third quarter fiscal 2025, ended April 30, 2025.
Jonathan Reich, Zedge’sCEO, commented:
“Ourcore business demonstrated strong momentum, driving a return to revenue growth in Q3 and highlighting its resilience despite theimpact on the ad market resulting from TikTok’s temporary U.S. ban and tariff-related uncertainty that caused macroeconomic volatility.
“Wegenerated $0.8 million in free cash flow, despite approximately $1.0 million of certain payments - primarily severance relatedto our restructuring and the first portion of the final installment of the retention bonus stemming from the 2022 GuruShots acquisition.On a sequential basis our cash and cash equivalents balance at the end of the quarter increased to $20.4 million, even after repurchasingapproximately 220,000 shares in Q3 for roughly $536,000.
“Onthe bottom line, we saw meaningful year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter improvements in GAAP and non-GAAP net income and EPS***^2^,and adjusted EBITDA^2^**, as the cost savingsfrom our global restructuring began to take hold. This performance was especially notable, as our headline results were partially maskedby expected revenue declines at GuruShots. However, the business’s bottom-line losses were meaningfully reduced due to streamliningthe organization as part of the global restructuring, coupled with lower customer acquisition spend.*
“Ourunderlying business metrics were robust as well. Active subscribers reached an all-time high of nearly 900,000, representing a 37% increasefrom last year, while subscription revenue increased by 13%. The discrepancy between these two numbers is attributed to a mix shift drivenby an increase in lifetime subscriptions, where revenue is amortized over 30 months while the related app store fees are recognized upfront.This results in an attractive recurring revenue stream with a 100% gross margin during the tail period. In fact, our deferred revenue,which is primarily tied to subscriptions, increased by 83% year-over-year and 13% sequentially, standing at nearly $5 million at quarter’send. I’m also encouraged by Zedge Premium’s revenue growth, which more than doubled, fueled by availing it to web users andcontinued user demand for pAInt, our Gen AI creation suite and Parallax 3D Wallpapers.”
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Outlook
Reichcontinued:
“We’reseeing continued momentum in our core business through the first month of Q4, supported by strong user engagement. On the operationalfront, we’re starting to reap the financial benefits of our global restructuring efforts. Year-over-year improvements in coststructure and free cash flow should become more visible in Q4, even taking into account traditional seasonality and continued expectedsoftness at GuruShots, providing a stronger foundation as we scale new growth initiatives.
“Wealso announced a major strategic milestone last week - the launch of DataSeeds.AI, acontent marketplace for AI training sets critical to the success of foundational models. This initiativecapitalizes on Zedge’s massive creator community – at both Gurushots and Zedge Marketplace - and our content catalog of tensof millions of images, creating a new potential revenue stream for us. We’ve already signed our first AI dataset partnershipwith a leading AI company and plan to evaluate opportunities that would expand the DataSeeds.AI marketplace beyond images. DataSeeds.AIis not only attractive to the market due to its ability to promptly supply bespoke content at scale but also because it has reset thebar for AI training benchmarks with the DataSeeds.AI Sample Dataset compared to legacy solutions like AWS Rekognition.
“Anotherexciting development is the upcoming rollout of our audio AI generator within Zedge Premium. As one of the first consumerplatforms to introduce this functionality, we’re tapping into a powerful new dimension of personalization. By enabling users tocreate ringtones and notification sounds from simple prompts, we’re expanding our leadership in mobile content and unlocking a newcategory of user expression that complements our existing image-based offerings and has the potential to contribute to our Dataseeds.AIoffering.
“ForEmojipedia, we’re gearing up for World Emoji Day in July, with plans to introduce an exciting new feature to the EmojiSandbox ahead of the event that will deepen user interaction and further elevate our brand’s profile. We also remain on track formodernizing and upgrading the emojipedia.org website in the months to come.
“We’reactively ideating about the direction for GuruShots 2.0, including onboarding, voting mechanic and progression. Related to thisis how we create a synergistic relationship with DataSeeds.AI – incentivizing players to create content that can be used for AItraining. We are being deliberate in our planning in order to deliver the best comprehensive outcome for all relevant parties.
“We’reenergized by the innovation happening across the company and remain focused on disciplined execution, platform synergy and creating long-termvalue for users, creators and shareholders alike.”

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, defined as earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, transaction-related expenses and other non-recurring expenses, Free Cash Flow, and non-GAAP net income and EPS (which adjust out stock compensation expense, transaction-related expenses and other non-recurring expenses from GAAP net income and EPS), represent measures that we believe are customarily used by investors and analysts to evaluate the financial performance of companies in addition to the GAAP measures we present. Our management also believes these measures are useful in evaluating our core operating results. However, these are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income or operating income/margin as an indicator of our operating performance or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
Numbers in the following reconciliation tables may not add due to rounding.
