Zedge Marketplace active subscribers and subscription revenue increased 22% and 13%, respectively
Zedge Marketplace ARPMAU1 increased 9%
Zedge Premium GTV1 increased 27%
Free cash flow2 of $0.6 million
10% year-over-year revenue decline was mainly related to uncertainty in TikTok's U.S pre-ban status and its temporary removal from app stores
Announced restructuring activities, including 22% global workforce reduction, which along with other items are anticipated to save approximately $4 million in annualized costs and increase profits and free cash flow
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 12, 2025 / Zedge, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN:ZDGE), $ZDGE, a leader in digital marketplaces and interactive games that provides content, enables creativity, empowers self-expression and facilitates community, today announced results for its second quarter fiscal 2025, ended January 31, 2025.
Jonathan Reich, Zedge's CEO, commented:
"This quarter's 10% year-over-year revenue decline was primarily driven by: the material pullback in TikTok's U.S. ad spend resulting from its potential ban in the U.S., lower MAU and the ongoing drag from GuruShots on our overall revenue growth and profitability, all of which we are actively addressing.
"Despite these headwinds, we remained focused on areas within our control, especially continuing to optimize our ad inventory and engagement-driven monetization strategies. For example, with Zedge Premium, we saw material growth in revenue from rewarded video, mainly driven by premium offerings such as our pAInt AI image generator and Parallax 3-D wallpapers, which typically has higher CPMs when compared to display advertising. As a result, year-over-year, we achieved 13% growth in subscription revenue, a 9% increase in ARPMAU and a 27% rise in Zedge Premium's GTV, while generating nearly $600 thousand in free cash flow and buying back 245,000 shares of our stock. Additionally, at the end of the quarter, we announced the first phase of a two-stage strategic restructuring, followed by announcing the second phase in early Q3, which we expect to streamline operations, reduce costs and enhance profitability and free cash flow. Taken together with the final payment of the GuruShots acquisition-related retention bonuses in April, these efforts will start to be reflected in the second half of our fiscal 2025 and total approximately $4 million in savings on an annualized basis.
"Regarding the impact of TikTok's reduced ad spend, our advertising revenue declined over 14% year-over-year, primarily due to the disruption it caused in the programmatic ad market. Last year, TikTok was a top bidder across our mediation partners' platforms, driving strong competition and higher CPMs. However, as TikTok started to scale back its digital ad spend, it left a void, diminishing demand and leading to reduced competition and lower CPMs across the industry. This broad shift in market dynamics impacted ad rates beyond our platform, contributing to the overall softness in digital advertising revenue."
Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Outlook
"Looking ahead to the remainder of fiscal Q3, we are cautiously optimistic that the challenges of the second quarter were temporary. While there is still risk that TikTok could be banned in the U.S., we are currently seeing a rebound in advertising due to TikTok's reentry into the market driving competition and higher CPMs, as well as solid performance from a new ad unit that we introduced during the second quarter.
"Of equal importance, the impact of our recent restructuring will begin to be reflected in our results with reduced expenses, improved adjusted EBITDA1 and stronger free cash flow. In parallel, the GuruShots team is optimizing the existing game for revenue growth while also developing a comprehensive plan for GuruShots 2.0.
"As an innovation-driven company, we are continuously developing and testing new features and content for all of our products. During the second half of the year, we expect to continue to introduce new AI creation features in the Zedge Marketplace and Emojipedia. We've seen a significant increase in engagement with the features we have already rolled out, and we are focusing our efforts to better retain and engage users, which, when taken together, are expected to drive growth in fiscal 2026 and beyond.
"While we are continually looking to drive long-term growth as a company, we believe our current valuations make us an attractive value stock, with trailing twelve-month free cash flow yield2 above 41%. Given this, we will continue to aggressively repurchase shares, reinforcing our confidence in the long-term value of our business," concluded Reich.

1 We use the following supplemental business metrics in this release because we believe they are useful in evaluating Zedge's operational performance.
Monthly active users, or MAU, captures the number of unique users that used our Zedge App during the previous 30 days of the relevant period, is useful for evaluating consumer engagement with our App, which correlates to advertising revenue as more users drive more ad impressions for sale. It also allows readers and potential advertisers to evaluate the size of our user base.
Zedge Premium Gross Transaction Value, or GTV, is the total dollar amount of transactions conducted through Zedge Premium. As Zedge Premium is an internal focus for growth, we believe this metric will help investors evaluate our progress in growing this part of our business.
Average Revenue Per Monthly Active User for our Zedge App, or ARPMAU, is useful in evaluating how well we monetize our user base.
An Active Subscription is a subscription that has commenced and not been canceled, including paused subscriptions and subscriptions in free trials, grace periods, or account hold. This is important because it is a source of recurring revenue.
Total Installs - Cumulative measures the number of times the Zedge App has been downloaded since inception.
2 Throughout this release, Non-GAAP Net Income, Non-GAAP EPS, Free Cash Flow (FCF), FCF Yield and Adjusted EBITDA/Margin are non-GAAP financial measures intended to provide useful information that supplement Zedge's results in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial measures at the end of this release for an explanation of Zedge's formulations of Non-GAAP Net Income, Non-GAAP EPS, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

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, FCF yield 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. Free Cash Flow yield calculated as trailing twelve months (TTM) FCF/Enterprise Value.
Numbers in the following reconciliation tables may not add due to rounding:
