CuriosityStream Inc. reported significantly stronger results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Total revenue was $23.2 million, up 22% year over year, driven by a 48% increase in licensing revenue to $14.1 million, including AI data licensing and a large long-term content license tied to the Curiosity Brands disposition. Subscription revenue declined 5% to $8.9 million as subscriber counts fell, partly offset by higher average revenue per user after March 2026 price increases.
Operating expenses fell 24% to $14.1 million, mainly from lower distribution and marketing costs, producing operating income of $9.2 million versus $0.5 million a year ago. Net income rose to $8.9 million ($0.15 diluted EPS) from $0.8 million. For the first half, revenue grew 13% to $38.4 million and net income reached $7.6 million.
Cash generation was weaker: operating cash flow was an outflow of $3.0 million versus a $4.7 million inflow in the prior-year period, pressured by working capital swings and content spending. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash declined to $5.4 million from $18.4 million at year-end, after $9.9 million in dividends and $0.9 million of share repurchases. The company added a $10 million undrawn secured revolving credit facility, continued heavy investment in content assets of $32.5 million, and closed a small sale of non-core Curiosity Brands while locking in a $10 million long-term content license and ongoing service fees.
