Executive summary
Q2 2025 revenue was $78.1M, down 17% year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA up 18% to $11.7M and net loss improved to $17.5M; strong growth in owned products offset marketing volatility from Google network changes.
Products segment revenue grew 34% year-over-year, driven by Startpage, MapQuest, and CouponFollow, while marketing segment revenue declined 29% but showed sequential improvement.
Heavy investment in AI-powered agentic coding and automation accelerated product development and campaign launches, with 82,000 campaigns in Q2, up 100% from Q1.
Cost reductions in salaries, benefits, and SG&A contributed to a narrower operating loss and improved margins.
Leadership remains confident in long-term prospects, emphasizing undervaluation of the products segment and ongoing alignment with shareholders.

Outlook and guidance

Management believes existing cash and cash flows are sufficient for at least the next twelve months.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
