Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Zedge reported third quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $8.0 million, up 3% from $7.8 million a year ago, with stronger profitability and cash generation.

GAAP net income rose to $0.9 million from $0.2 million, and diluted EPS increased to $0.07 from $0.01. Operating income improved to $1.1 million, lifting operating margin to 13.4% versus 2.1%.

Subscription revenue grew 32% year over year to $1.7 million, and active subscriptions climbed 41% to nearly 1.3 million, helped by higher-value users. While total advertising revenue declined 4% to $5.4 million, management noted the weakness was concentrated in Emojipedia, with Zedge Marketplace ad revenue roughly flat.

Marketplace monetization strengthened: ARPMAU increased 21% to $0.119 and Zedge Premium gross transaction value rose 17%. Free cash flow increased 55% to $1.2 million, and cash and cash equivalents reached $19.7 million with no debt, supporting a 25% dividend increase and ongoing share repurchases.

Positive

  • Stronger profitability and margins: GAAP net income rose to $0.9 million from $0.2 million, with operating margin expanding to 13.4% from 2.1%, indicating significantly better operating efficiency.
  • High-growth subscription business: Subscription revenue increased 31.9% to $1.7 million and active subscriptions grew 40.6% to 1.26 million, supporting more recurring and higher-quality revenue.
  • Improved monetization and cash generation: ARPMAU rose 21.2% to $0.119 and free cash flow grew 54.9% to $1.2 million, while cash reached $19.7 million with no debt, enabling dividend growth and buybacks.

Negative

  • User base and ad softness: Monthly active users declined 11.3% to 19.6 million and advertising revenue slipped 4.0% to $5.4 million, with pressure concentrated in Emojipedia.

Insights

Profitability, subscriptions and cash flow improved meaningfully despite softer ad trends.

Zedge delivered modest top-line growth but strong operating leverage. Revenue rose to $8.0M, while GAAP operating income jumped to $1.1M and net income to $0.9M, lifting operating margin to 13.4% in Q3 2026.

The quality of revenue is improving, with subscription revenue up about 32% to $1.7M, active subscriptions up roughly 41%, and ARPMAU up about 21% to $0.119. Management highlighted a first six‑figure DataSeeds.AI order as evidence of emerging enterprise traction.

Cash generation strengthened: free cash flow rose about 55% to $1.2M, and cash reached $19.7M with no debt. The company increased its quarterly dividend by 25% and expanded its share repurchase authorization by $2M. Offsetting positives, MAU declined about 11% and total ad revenue fell 4%, largely tied to Emojipedia performance.

ARPMAU financial
"ARPMAU1 for the Zedge Marketplace increased 21% to $0.119"
Average revenue per monthly active user (ARPMAU) measures how much money a company earns, on average, from each user who engages with its product at least once in a month. For investors, it shows how well a business turns user activity into revenue—like tracking how much each regular customer spends at a coffee shop—so rises or falls can signal improving monetization, pricing power, or customer engagement problems.
Zedge Premium Gross Transaction Value (GTV) financial
"Zedge Premium GTV1 increased 17%"
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA | | $ | 1.3 | | | $ | 1.2 |"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Free Cash Flow financial
"Free Cash Flow (FCF) and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
non-GAAP Net Income financial
"Non-GAAP Net Income | | $ | 1.0 | | | $ | 0.9 |"
Non-GAAP net income is a company's profit figure that excludes certain costs or income that are included in standard accounting methods. Companies often use it to show what their earnings might look like without one-time expenses or other unusual items, helping investors see the company's core performance more clearly.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"contain statements intended as “forward-looking statements” that are subject to the cautionary statements"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Zedge Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results

 

Subscription revenue increased 32%, and active subscriptions1 grew 41% to nearly 1.3 million

ARPMAU1 for the Zedge Marketplace increased 21% to $0.119; Zedge Premium GTV1 increased 17%

 

GAAP net income of $0.9 million; free cash flow2 increased 55% year over year

DataSeeds.AI fulfilled first six-figure order, demonstrating enterprise-scale execution capability

 

New York, NY – June 11, 2026: Zedge, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: ZDGE), $ZDGE, a company that builds and operates creator communities serving 20 million monthly active users, today announced results for its third quarter fiscal 2026, ended April 30, 2026.

 

Jonathan Reich, Zedge’s CEO, commented:

 

“In our third quarter, we continued to demonstrate that the core Zedge Marketplace business is resilient and becoming more efficient. Subscription revenue grew 32% year over year, and active subscriptions reached nearly 1.3 million, both continuing a multi-quarter trend. ARPMAU increased 21%, and Zedge Premium GTV increased 17%, reflecting the benefits of our ongoing focus on acquiring and retaining higher-value users. While total advertising revenue declined year over year, that decline was entirely attributable to Emojipedia, which we are managing for overall return in light of Google’s changes to its search results page. Within the Zedge Marketplace, advertising revenue was essentially flat year over year, a resilient result given that the prior year benefited from a one-time integration bonus from an ad platform partner. Encouragingly, iOS revenue within the Zedge Marketplace grew 35% year over year, reinforcing our message that, as we attract and monetize higher-value users in premium markets, the quality of our revenue continues to improve.

 

“On the DataSeeds.AI front, I am excited to report that we fulfilled our first six-figure order this quarter stemming from an existing customer relationship with a leading technology company. At the same time, we are beginning to see interest from new prospects, which strengthens our confidence in this offering. This milestone reflects our growing capacity to deepen customer relationships and scale production. While revenue remains lumpy at this stage, successfully delivering projects of this size, on spec and within tight timeframes, is a necessary capability for DataSeeds’ future growth.

 

“Our Innovation Team continues to advance - with four alpha products now live, and we remain on track to achieve our goal of six alpha launches this fiscal year. Our framework remains consistent: pre-validate, build fast, measure against clear KPIs and invest in the winners while quickly ceasing to spend on those that do not meet our criteria. Each launch compounds the next, as reusable infrastructure and lessons from prior releases shorten our time-to-market.

 

“Financially, cash flow from operations increased over 40%, while free cash flow increased 55% year over year to $1.2 million and is now up 10% year to date, and our cash and cash equivalents balance strengthened to $19.7 million with no debt. We also increased our quarterly dividend by 25% during the quarter, opportunistically repurchased shares when conditions warranted and invested in innovation, all without compromising our strong balance sheet. Subsequent to quarter’s end, our board added $2 million to our existing share repurchase authorization, bringing total available capacity to approximately $2.2 million, reflecting our continued confidence in the value of our shares.”

Non-GAAP and Supplemental Metrics (Please see our 10-Q for full explanation of these terms)

 

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.

 

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 Marketplace, 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.

 

2 Throughout this release, Non-GAAP Net Income, Non-GAAP EPS, Free Cash Flow (FCF) and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures intended to provide useful information that supplements 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 and Key Performance Indcators (KPI)

 

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, a common metric used by investors for valuation, and non-GAAP net income (loss) and EPS (or loss per share) (which adjust out stock compensation expense, transaction-related expenses and other non-recurring expenses from GAAP net income (loss) and EPS (loss per share)), 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.
