"The third quarter was highlighted the success of strategic priorities including revenue growth, a strengthened balance sheet combined with debt reduction, new leadership and an AI acquisition," said Joe Davy, Founder and CEO of Banzai. "As we move into our next phase of growth, our Vidello and OpenReel businesses and strong performance for our products has validated our strategy with revenue of $2.8 million in the quarter, a 163% improvement from the prior year. Our growth was fueled by a strong focus on mid-market and enterprise customers, along with continued investment in the Reach product through re-engineering and enhanced sales initiatives. Altogether, we now serve more than 140,000 customers.
"Throughout 2025 we have made substantial improvements to our balance sheet and streamlined our cost structure, positioning the company for long-term, sustainable profitability. Most recently we executed a payoff and debt conversion agreement with a senior debt holder for the remaining principal balance of its outstanding senior secured debt, totaling approximately $4.8 million. The decision by senior debt holders to convert into equity reflects a strong vote of confidence in Banzai's vision and trajectory. In September we paid off approximately $10.7 million of outstanding debt obligations year to date through August 31, 2025, and $32.7 million since September 2024. As we continued to execute on our repayments ahead of schedule, we have seen meaningful improvements to both net income and shareholders' equity. Through the third quarter, we accomplished a $28.2 million year-over-year improvement in stockholders' equity to a positive $5.4 million as of September 30, 2025. Also, in September we secured new debt financing of up to $11.0 million.
"In October, an institutional investor increased its direct equity stake to 18.7% following the exercise of warrants, another vote of confidence. We also implemented a strategic initiative that we expect will enable us to significantly improve net income, substantially extend our cash runway, and invest in growth. Taken together, we are making significant progress toward these goals and expect overall improvement in net income when fully implemented, while maintaining our growth outlook.
"We recently announced our newest acquisition of Superblocks, a platform that allows marketers to easily create and host websites, landing pages, and simple web applications using conversational AI. Building well designed, functional landing pages and websites have traditionally required teams to use rigid template-based site builders or possess extensive web development experience. Superblocks' AI agent builds beautiful, brand compliant web assets quickly for businesses, marketers and creators. This acquisition advances our vision of building the AI platform for marketing and adds to our growing AI powered SaaS platform of solutions that make our customers' lives 10x faster.
"Operationally, we strengthened our management team with the recent additions of Dean Ditto as Chief Financial Officer and Matt McCurdy as Vice President of Sales. Dean is a veteran financial and technology leader with strong capabilities in scaling public technology companies and driving profitable growth. Matt is an experienced executive and global sales leader with a proven track record of driving growth for over 20 years in the software, healthcare, and technology industries. He is now leading strategic growth and enterprise customer adoption of our AI-enabled marketing and sales solutions including Demio, CreateStudio, and OpenReel.
"Looking ahead, our strategic priorities include driving self-service subscriber growth, expanding within enterprise and mid-market segments, and improving customer retention, all while continuing to evolve our product portfolio. We are strategically investing in our software platform, sales and marketing, product innovation, acquisition strategy, and other organic growth opportunities with a disciplined approach to cost management. At the same time, we are fortifying our capital structure and balance sheet to fuel future growth and deliver lasting value to shareholders," concluded Davy.
Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Banzai believes its non-GAAP financial measure ARR is more meaningful in evaluating its performance.

Note About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure as defined below, is useful in evaluating our operational performance distinct and apart from certain irregular, non-cash, and non-operational expenses. We use this information for ongoing evaluation of operations and for internal planning purposes. We believe that non- GAAP financial information, when taken collectively with results under GAAP, may be helpful to investors in assessing our operating performance and comparing our performance with competitors and other comparable companies.
Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We endeavor to compensate for the limitation of Adjusted EBITDA, by also providing the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net loss, and a description of the reconciling items and adjustments to derive the non-GAAP measure.
Adjusted EBITDA should only be considered alongside results prepared in accordance with GAAP, including various cash-flow metrics, net income (loss) and our other GAAP results and financial performance measures.
