Revenue returned to growth despite the TikTok ban in the U.S. at the start of the quarter
Launched DataSeeds.AI, a new content marketplace initiative for AI training sets, creating B2B revenue opportunities
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / 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's CEO, commented:
"Our core business demonstrated strong momentum, driving a return to revenue growth in Q3 and highlighting its resilience despite the impact on the ad market resulting from TikTok's temporary U.S. ban and tariff-related uncertainty that caused macroeconomic volatility.
"We generated
"On the bottom line, we saw meaningful year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter improvements in GAAP and non-GAAP net income and EPS2, and adjusted EBITDA2, as the cost savings from our global restructuring began to take hold. This performance was especially notable, as our headline results were partially masked by expected revenue declines at GuruShots. However, the business's bottom-line losses were meaningfully reduced due to streamlining the organization as part of the global restructuring, coupled with lower customer acquisition spend.
"Our underlying business metrics were robust as well. Active subscribers reached an all-time high of nearly 900,000, representing a
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Outlook
Reich continued:
"We're seeing continued momentum in our core business through the first month of Q4, supported by strong user engagement. On the operational front, we're starting to reap the financial benefits of our global restructuring efforts. Year-over-year improvements in cost structure and free cash flow should become more visible in Q4, even taking into account traditional seasonality and continued expected softness at GuruShots, providing a stronger foundation as we scale new growth initiatives.
"We also announced a major strategic milestone last week - the launch of DataSeeds.AI, a content marketplace for AI training sets critical to the success of foundational models. This initiative capitalizes on Zedge's massive creator community - at both Gurushots and Zedge Marketplace - and our content catalog of tens of millions of images, creating a new potential revenue stream for us. We've already signed our first AI dataset partnership with a leading AI company and plan to evaluate opportunities that would expand the DataSeeds.AI marketplace beyond images. DataSeeds.AI is not only attractive to the market due to its ability to promptly supply bespoke content at scale but also because it has reset the bar for AI training benchmarks with the DataSeeds.AI Sample Dataset compared to legacy solutions like AWS Rekognition.
"Another exciting development is the upcoming rollout of our audio AI generator within Zedge Premium. As one of the first consumer platforms to introduce this functionality, we're tapping into a powerful new dimension of personalization. By enabling users to create ringtones and notification sounds from simple prompts, we're expanding our leadership in mobile content and unlocking a new category of user expression that complements our existing image-based offerings and has the potential to contribute to our Dataseeds.AI offering.
"For Emojipedia, we're gearing up for World Emoji Day in July, with plans to introduce an exciting new feature to the Emoji Sandbox ahead of the event that will deepen user interaction and further elevate our brand's profile. We also remain on track for modernizing and upgrading the emojipedia.org website in the months to come.
"We're actively ideating about the direction for GuruShots 2.0, including onboarding, voting mechanic and progression. Related to this is how we create a synergistic relationship with DataSeeds.AI - incentivizing players to create content that can be used for AI training. We are being deliberate in our planning in order to deliver the best comprehensive outcome for all relevant parties.
"We're energized by the innovation happening across the company and remain focused on disciplined execution, platform synergy and creating long-term value for users, creators and shareholders alike."

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.

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.
