Lower overhead and better gross margin turned IZEA from a cash burner into an asset-light cash generator despite lower sales.
From FY2024 to FY2025, revenue fell from$35.9M to$31.2M , but the operating loss shrank far faster because gross margin recovered and overhead came down. That shows the turnaround was mainly a cost-structure reset, not a demand rebound: free cash flow swung to$2.4M from-$11.5M even without top-line growth.
