NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Zedge builds digital marketplaces and friendly competitive games around content that people use to express themselves. Our leading products include Zedge Ringtones and Wallpapers, which we refer to as our “Zedge App,” a freemium digital content marketplace offering mobile phone wallpapers, video wallpapers, ringtones, and notification sounds as well as pAInt, a generative AI wallpaper and ringtone maker, GuruShots, a skill-based photo challenge game, and Emojipedia, the #1 trusted source for ‘all things emoji’, and DataSeeds.AI, a B2B offering which creates ethically sourced and fully rights-cleared custom image, video, and audio datasets that companies use to train their AI systems. Our vision is to enable and connect creators who enjoy friendly competitions with a community of prospective consumers in order to drive commerce. Except where the context clearly indicates otherwise, the terms the “Company,” “Zedge” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Zedge, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Zedge, Inc. and its subsidiaries: GuruShots Ltd. (“GuruShots”); Zedge Europe AS; and Zedge Lithuania UAB (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended October 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2026 or any other period. The balance sheet at July 31, 2025 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Company’s fiscal year ends on July 31 of each calendar year. Each reference below to a fiscal year refers to the fiscal year ending in the calendar year indicated (e.g., fiscal 2025 refers to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025).
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates described in the 2025 Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from our estimates due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the economic environment due to various global events. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or operating results will be affected. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”), ASU 2024-03 will require public entities to disaggregate, within the notes to the financial statements, certain expenses presented on the face of the financial statements to enhance transparency and help investors better understand an entity’s performance. The amendment will specifically require that an entity disclose the amounts related to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. Entities will also be required to provide a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, provide a definition of what constitutes selling expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company will not be required to adopt ASU 2024-03 until August 1, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2025-03 on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use-Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”). ASU 2025 removes the prescriptive software development “project stages” and requires capitalization of software costs once (1) management authorizes and commits funding and (2) completion and use are probable. Entities must evaluate significant development uncertainty related to technological innovations or performance requirements. The amendments also require Subtopic 360-10 disclosures for all capitalized internal-use software costs and clarify that intangible asset disclosures under Subtopic 350-30 are not required. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company will not be required to adopt ASU 2025-06 until August 1, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2025-06 on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
All other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet effective are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Related Party Transactions
The Company was formerly a majority-owned subsidiary of IDT Corporation (“IDT”). On June 1, 2016, IDT’s interest in the Company was spun-off by IDT to IDT’s stockholders and the Company became an independent public-held company. IDT charges the Company for services it provides, and the Company charges IDT for services it provides, pursuant to Services Agreements between the companies.
The Company is party to a consulting agreement with Activist Artist Management, LLC (“Activist”), which assists the Company in strategic business development. A member of the Company’s Board of Directors owns a significant minority stake in Activist.
The Company is party to a revenue sharing agreement with National Retail Services, Inc. (“NRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of IDT, under which Zedge and certain of its subsidiaries (Emojipedia and GuruShots) provide a selection of their digital content for display on NR screens and share in the revenue generated from the resulting advertisements.
Transactions with these related parties did not have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheets as of October 31, 2025 or July 31, 2025, or the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended October 31, 2025 or 2024.

Note 2—Revenue
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table presents revenue disaggregated by segment and type (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended October 31, | ||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| Zedge Marketplace | ||||||||
| Advertising revenue | $ | $ | ||||||
| Paid subscription revenue | ||||||||
| Other revenues | ||||||||
| Total Zedge Marketplace revenue | ||||||||
| GuruShots | ||||||||
| Digital goods and services | ||||||||
| Total revenue | $ | $ | ||||||
Contract Balances
Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, which are recorded for payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations.
The Company records deferred revenues related to
the unsatisfied performance obligations with respect to subscription revenue. The Company’s deferred revenue balance for paid subscriptions
was approximately $
The Company also records deferred revenues when
users purchase or earn Zedge Credits. Unused Zedge Credits represent the value of the Company’s unsatisfied performance obligation
to its users. Revenue is recognized when Zedge App users use Zedge Credits to acquire Zedge Premium content or upon expiration of the
Zedge Credits upon 180 days of account inactivity (“Breakage”). As of October 31, 2025, and July 31, 2025, the Company’s
deferred revenue balance related to Zedge Premium was approximately $
The amount of deferred revenue recognized in the
three months ended October 31, 2025 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at July 31, 2025 was $
Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
Substantially all of the Company’s unsatisfied performance obligations relate to contracts with an original expected length of 30 months or less.
Significant Judgments
The advertising networks and advertising exchanges to which the Company sells its inventory track and report the impressions and revenues to Zedge, and Zedge recognizes revenues based on these reports. The networks and exchanges base their payments off of those reports and Zedge independently compares the data to each of the client sites to validate the imported data and identify any differences. The number of impressions and revenues delivered by the advertising networks and advertising exchanges is determined at the end of each month, which resolves any uncertainty in the transaction price during the reporting period.
For lifetime subscriptions, revenue is recognized over the estimated retention period during which the customer is expected to benefit from use of the Zedge app, which management has determined to be 30 months based on historical usage and retention patterns information available to us to date. This estimate represents a significant judgement and is reviewed periodically for changes in customer behavior or other relevant factors.

Note 3—Fair Value Measurements
The fair value measurement of cash equivalents invested money market funds is based on quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1). The fair value measurement of foreign exchange forward contracts is based on observable market-based inputs principally derived from or corroborated by observable market data (Level 2).
The following table presents the balance of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
| October 31, 2025 | ||||||||||||||||

| Total | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The Company’s other financial instruments at October 31, 2025 and July 31, 2025 included prepaid expenses and other current assets, and trade accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment date.
Note 4—Derivative Instruments
The primary risk managed by the Company using derivative instruments is foreign exchange risk. Foreign exchange forward contracts are entered into as hedges against unfavorable fluctuations in the USD to NOK (prior to the restructuring) and USD to EUR exchange rates. The Company is party to a Foreign Exchange Agreement with Western Alliance Bank allowing the Company to enter into foreign exchange contracts under its revolving credit facility with the bank (see Note 10 Revolving Credit Facility). The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these contracts because these are not qualified as hedging accounting pursuant to ASC 815; therefore the changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. By using derivative instruments to mitigate exposures to changes in foreign exchange rates, the Company is exposed to credit risk from the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the contract. The credit or repayment risk is minimized by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.
As a result of the global restructuring initiative implemented in January 2025, which included the closure of the Company’s Norway operations, the Company no longer has exposure to USD/NOK foreign exchange risk. Accordingly, there were no outstanding NOK forward contracts as of July 31, or October 31, 2025.
Management has further concluded that there were no current requirement to enter into USD/EUR forward contracts beyond August 2025. As a result, there were no outstanding EUR forward contracts as of October 31, 2025.
The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows (in thousands):

Note 7—Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation for stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock and deferred stock units (“DSUs”) based on the estimated fair value of the awards and recognized over the relevant service period and/or market conditions. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company estimates the fair value of the restricted stock and DSU’s with service conditions only using the current market price of the stock. The Company estimates the fair value of the DSU’s with both service and market conditions using the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model.
The Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo Simulation valuation
models incorporate assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options or awards, a risk-free interest rate and dividend
yield. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to options and restricted stock units on a straight-line basis
over the service period of the award, which is generally
In our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for our employees and non-employees as follows (in thousands):

Note 8—Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to all classes of common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share, except that the number of shares is increased to include restricted stock still subject to risk of forfeiture, issuances to be made on the vesting of unvested DSUs and the exercise of potentially dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increase is anti-dilutive.
The rights of holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical except for certain voting and conversion rights and restrictions on transferability. As such, the Company is not required to break out earnings per share by class.
The weighted-average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders consists of the following (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||
| October 31, | ||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| Basic weighted-average number of shares | ||||||||
| Effect of dilutive securities: | ||||||||
| Stock options | ||||||||
| Non-vested restricted Class B common stock | ||||||||
| Deferred stock units | ||||||||
| Diluted weighted-average number of shares | ||||||||
The following shares were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share computations because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||
| October 31, | ||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| Stock options | ||||||||
| Non-vested restricted Class B common stock | ||||||||
| Deferred stock units | ||||||||
| Shares excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share | ||||||||
For the three months ended October 31, 2024, the diluted earnings per share equals basic earnings per share because the Company incurred a net loss during that period and the impact of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock and DSUs would have been anti-dilutive.
Note 9—Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company may from time to time be subject to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although there can be no assurance in this regard, the Company does not expect any of those legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Note 10—Revolving Credit Facility
On October 28, 2022, the Company entered into an
Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (“Amended Loan Agreement”) with WAB. Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement,
WAB agreed to provide the Company with a new term loan facility in the maximum principal amount of $
On October 28, 2024, the Company signed an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement Modification Agreement with WAB. Under this
agreement, WAB agreed to renew the $
The Amended Loan Agreement, as amended, includes customary negative covenants, subject to exceptions, which limit transfers, capital expenditures, indebtedness, certain liens, investments, acquisitions, dispositions of assets, restricted payments and the business activities of the Company, as well as customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, including cross defaults and a change of control default.
As of November 16, 2016, the Company entered into
a Foreign Exchange Agreement with WAB to allow the Company to enter into foreign exchange contracts not to exceed $
Note 11—Segment and Geographic Information
Segment Information
The Company determines its operating segments based on how its maker (“CODM”) manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. The Company’s CODM was its Chief Executive Officer as of October 31, 2025.
The CODM evaluates the performance of each operating segment using segment income (loss) from operations. The Company defines segment income (loss) from operations as revenue less costs and expenses. Expenses include indirect costs that are allocated to operating segments based on a reasonable allocation methodology, which are generally related to sales and marketing activities and general and administrative overhead. Revenue and expenses exclude transactions between the Company’s operating segments.
The CODM uses segment income
(loss) from operations to allocate resources during the annual budgeting and forecasting process.

Note 13—Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax expense (or benefit) has generally been determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date income and records the discrete tax items in the period to which they relate. In each quarter, the Company updates the estimated annual effective tax rate and makes a year-to-date adjustment to the tax provision as necessary.
The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2026 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to certain items primarily related to stock-based compensation expense, jurisdictional mix of earnings, foreign derived intangible income deduction, global intangible low-taxed income and the change in basis differences associated with tax deductible intangible assets and goodwill.
As of October 31, 2025, the Company had $

Trends and Uncertainties
Current Economic Conditions
The majority of our users and employees are located outside of the United States exposing us to a range of economic factors and regulations including foreign exchange fluctuations. There is uncertainty surrounding macroeconomic factors in the U.S. and globally. We believe these macroeconomic conditions coupled with the global political climate and unrest, including the ongoing wars between Ukraine and Russia and Israel and Iran, the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and Syria, may negatively impact our performance.
The Israel-Hamas and Israel-Hezbollah Conflicts
Given our operations in Israel, the impact of economic, political, geopolitical, and military conditions in the region directly affects us, including conflicts involving missile strikes, infiltrations, and terrorism. Notably, on October 7, 2023, Hamas, a designated terrorist organization, launched a savage terror attack in Israel, along with launching thousands of rockets into Israeli sovereign territory. The State of Israel declared war against Hamas resulting in the mobilization of more than 450,000 army reserve. In addition, Hezbollah, another designated terrorist organization, based in Lebanon, has been indiscriminately shelling Israeli territory. Since October 8, 2023, the Houthi rebels based in Yemen have also launched ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones at Israel. In June of 2025 Israel and Iran engaged in the ’12-Day War’ during which Israel launched strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities, assassinating key leaders and scientists, prompting Iranian retaliation with hundreds of missiles on Israeli cities; our office and schools were closed amid shelter-in-place orders, and the constant barrage of ballistic missiles launched from Iran and Yemen severely interrupted our operations. A U.S.-brokered ceasefire ended that direct clash on June 24, 2025, but tensions persist as Iran rebuilds its missile stocks and nuclear capabilities, raising fears of renewed confrontation. Compounding these threats, since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, Israel has conducted airstrikes and ground incursions in Syria to neutralize remaining Iranian-linked militias, secure the border, and protect the Druze minority amid sectarian clashes. Although ceasefires are in place—with the Gaza truce under the U.S.-backed 20-point plan holding broadly since October 10, 2025, following the release of all 20 remaining living Israeli hostages, and the Hezbollah agreement extended into 2025 amid Israeli withdrawals from southern Lebanon—these remain fragile amid violations. The extent and duration of these conflicts remain uncertain. Israel’s response to Hamas’ unprecedented attack, compounded by escalations with Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iran, and now intensified operations in Syria, has led to repeated IDF reservist mobilizations, affecting our workforce. Prior to this, changes in Israel’s judicial system had already raised concerns about the business environment, compounded by recent events, potentially impacting foreign investment, currency fluctuations, credit ratings, interest rates, and security markets. Furthermore, regional political unrest and threats from extremist groups, notably Iran and its proxies, pose additional risks. Management and our Board of Directors are closely monitoring the situation in Israel to address potential business disruptions and implications.

AI Technology Trends
A key component of our growth strategy involves the adoption and utilization of AI, which introduces certain risks that may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation. We incorporate AI into products such as pAInt and rely on AI for content moderation, personalization, and user engagement, but market demand for AI-driven offerings remains uncertain and may be outpaced by competitors. Compliance with evolving AI laws, such as the EU AI Act, may impose significant operational costs. Additionally, in late September 2025, Google released an update to its Search Engine Results Page (SERP) enabling users to copy emojis directly from search results rather than being directed to third-party sites such as Emojipedia, and AI platforms, including ChatGPT and Claude, now return emoji results in response to user queries. While it is too early to accurately quantify the impact of these changes on Emojipedia’s MAU, we believe they are likely to result in reduced traffic and adversely affect revenue. These uncertainties could significantly diminish the value of our services and materially and adversely affect our revenue, profitability, and prospects.

Our Zedge App (which is named “Zedge Wallpapers” in the App Store) offers a wide array of mobile personalization content including wallpapers, video wallpapers, ringtones, and notification sounds, and is available both in Google Play and the App Store. Over the past two years, our Zedge App has had between 22.1 million and 28.7 million monthly active users (“MAU”), ending with 22.2 million MAU as of October 31, 2025. MAU is a key performance indicator (“KPI”) for our Zedge App that captures the number of unique users that used our Zedge App during the final 30 days of the relevant period. Our platform allows creators to upload content to our marketplace and avail it to our users either for free or, via ‘Zedge Premium,’ the section of our marketplace where we offer premium content for purchase. In turn, our users utilize the content to personalize their phones and express their individuality.
In fiscal 2023, we introduced pAInt, a generative AI wallpaper maker in the Zedge App. A generative AI wallpaper maker is an implementation of artificial intelligence software that can create images from text descriptions. To interface with a generative AI image maker, a user enters a text description of the image they want to create, and the software generates an image based on that description. Today, pAInt is available for text-to-image, image-to-image, and text-to-audio creation. In addition, we upgraded Zedge+, our paid subscription offering by bundling together an ad-free experience with value adds making the offering more compelling.
We often refer to our freemium ringtones and wallpapers, our subscription offering, the functionality for creators to market their products and ancillary offering and features both in our Zedge App and website, as our Zedge Marketplace.
The Zedge Marketplace’s monetization stack consists of advertising revenue generated when users view advertisements when using the Zedge App (and the related functionality under the zedge.net website), the in-app sale of Zedge Credits, our virtual currency, that is used to purchase Zedge Premium content, and a paid-subscription offering that provides an ad-free experience to users that purchase a monthly or annual subscription. In April 2023, we introduced a subscription tier in the iOS version of the app. As of October 31, 2025, we had approximately 1.1 million active subscribers.
In fiscal 2025, we introduced DataSeeds.AI (“DataSeeds”). DataSeeds builds custom, fully rights-cleared image, video, and audio datasets for enterprise AI teams that need controlled inputs, bespoke content, and consistent metadata at scale. We draw on a large and long-standing creator ecosystem built through GuruShots and the Zedge Marketplace, complemented by an extensive global network of vetted professional photographers, videographers, and domain specialists. This unified sourcing model gives predictable, spec-driven control over subject matter, diversity parameters, environments, and capture conditions. It enables fast, high-volume delivery of custom datasets used to support frontier model training, robust computer vision performance, and grounded generative AI.
In April 2022, we acquired GuruShots Ltd (“GuruShots”) a gamified photography platform that engages a global community of photographers through daily challenges, real-time feedback, and a competitive, interactive experience. GuruShots offers a platform spanning iOS, Android, and the web that provides a fun, educational and structured way for amateur photographers to compete in a wide variety of contests showcasing their photos while gaining recognition with votes, badges, and awards. We estimate that the total addressable market of amateur photographers using their smartphones to take and publicly share artistic photos is 30-40 million people per month and that the market is still in its infancy. Every month, GuruShots stages more than 300 competitions that result in players uploading in excess of 513,000 photographs and casting close to 2.8 billion “perceived votes,” which are calculated by multiplying the number of votes that each player casts by a weighting factor based on various factors related to that user. To improve engagement, GuruShots has adopted a set of retention dynamics focused on individual, team and community dynamics that create a sense of belonging, inspiration, recognition, improvement, and competition.
GuruShots utilizes a ‘Free-to-Play’ business model and generates revenue through in-app purchases of virtual currency. Players can use this currency to unlock competitions or gain an edge by purchasing resources and participating in additional gameplay. Over the past nine years, the monthly average paying player spend has increased in excess of 6.1% annually to more than $40.5 per player.
In fiscal 2024, we revamped GuruShots’ customer onboarding experience by guiding new players through simplified photo competitions of limited size and duration. The upgrade was designed to enhance the gaming experience for new players by increasing their potential for winning and providing immediate gratification. The new onboarding has shown improvements in engagement, retention, and revenue from new users. In addition, we migrated to a coin-based economy with multiple currencies in order to enable more players to earn and spend their currency on in-game resources.
17
Since the acquisition, GuruShots has faced challenges in growth and profitability, and its revenue has declined. We have cut costs at GuruShots, including as part of the restructuring implemented in January 2025, and have materially scaled back on paid user acquisition (PUA) for the unit. In parallel, we are developing a plan, referred to as GuruShots 2.0, to revamp GuruShots’ offering in order to put it on a growth trajectory and unlock the potential value of this asset. Our strategy focuses on attracting new users and converting them into recurring, paying players. To date, we have introduced a fun and comprehensive onboarding experience to draw new users into the gameplay with ease and migrated to a coin-based in-game economy to enable more opportunities to reward and monetize players
Historically, we marketed GuruShots to prospective players primarily via PUA channels including Google, Meta, TikTok and other platforms, utilizing a variety of advertising media, formats, such as static and video ads. As part of the GuruShots 2.0 development plan, we have significantly reduced PUA investment for GuruShots to improve Return-on-Ad-Spend (ROAS) and intend to continue managing PUA spend in the current timeframe.
As set forth above, we believe that the extensive library of photographs generated by GuruShots players through submissions to GuruShots’ competitions represents a valuable dataset for our DataSeeds offering. To date, we have secured rights to license a portion of this library for various applications, including AI training, and we continue to expand the licensable catalog by securing rights to additional photographs.
Emojipedia Pty Ltd (“Emojipedia”) is the world’s leading authority dedicated to providing up-to-date and well-researched emoji definitions, information, and news, 43.6 million monthly page views and has approximately 7.2 million monthly active users as of October 31, 2025 of which approximately 42.1% are located in well-developed markets. It is the top resource for all things emoji, offering insights into data and cultural trends. In the past year, we have implemented multiple changes to Emojipedia including an AI-powered emoji sticker generator tool as well as an extensive emoji sticker library.
In late September 2025, Google released an update to its Search Engine Results Page (SERP) enabling users to copy emojis directly from search results rather than being directed to third-party sites such as Emojipedia. In addition, AI platforms, including ChatGPT and Claude, now return emoji results in response to user queries. While it is too early to accurately quantify the impact of these changes on Emojipedia’ s monthly active users (MAU), we believe they are likely to result in reduced traffic and adversely affect revenue. In light of these developments, we are evaluating potential mitigation strategies and will determine whether such measures warrant investment given the associated costs and expected benefits.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management’s most subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Our critical accounting policies include those related to revenue recognition, intangible assets-net, goodwill, capitalized software and technology development costs, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies, see our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Zedge App-MAU and ARPMAU
The presentation of our results of operations related to our Zedge App includes disclosure of two key performance indicators – Monthly Active Users (MAU) and Average Revenue Per Monthly Active User (ARPMAU). MAU is a key performance indicator that we define as the number of unique users that used our Zedge App during the previous 30-day period, which is important to understanding the size of our active user base which is a main driver of our revenue. Changes and trends in MAU are useful for measuring the general health of our business, gauging both present and potential users/customers’ experience, assessing the efficacy of product improvements and marketing campaigns and overall user engagement.
ARPMAU is defined as (i) the total revenue derived from Zedge App in a monthly period, divided by (ii) MAU in that same period. ARPMAU for a particular time period longer than one month is the average ARPMAU for each month during that period. ARPMAU is valuable because it provides insight into how well we monetize our users and, changes and trends in ARPMAU are indications of how effective our monetization investments are.
MAU decreased 11.2% in the three months ended October 31, 2025 when compared to the same period a year ago. As of October 31, 2025, users in emerging markets represented about 77.9% of our MAU, as compared to 78.0% from the same period a year ago.
ARPMAU for the three months ended October 31, 2025 increased 29.2% when compared to the same period a year ago, primarily due to the increase in price per advertising impression from the same period a year ago, which was driven by increased competition for our ad inventory as well as strong year-over-year subscription revenue growth. Subscription revenue and subscription billings for the three months ended October 31, 2025 increased 28.6% and 6.1%, respectively, when compared to the same period a year ago, as discussed below.
The following tables present the MAU – Zedge App and ARPMAU – Zedge App for the three months ended October 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year:

GuruShots-MAPs and ARPMAP
The presentation of our results of operations related to our GuruShots segment includes disclosure of two key performance indicators – Monthly Active Payers (MAP) and Average Revenue Per Monthly Active Payer (ARPMAP) as discussed below:
Monthly Active Payers (“MAPs”). We define a MAP as a unique active user on the GuruShots app or GuruShots.com in a month who completed at least one in-app purchase (“IAP”) during that time period. MAPs for a time period longer than one month are the average MAPs for each month during that period. We estimate the number of MAPs by aggregating certain data from third-party attribution platforms. MAP is a key performance indicator because it shows the size of GuruShots’ active paying user base which is a main driver of GuruShots’ revenue. Changes and trends in MAP are useful for measuring the general health of GuruShots’ business, gauging both present and potential users/customers’ experience, assessing the efficacy of product improvements and marketing campaigns and overall user engagement.
Average Revenue Per Monthly Active Payer (“ARPMAP”). We define ARPMAP as (i) the total revenue from IAPs derived from GuruShots and GuruShots.com in a monthly period, divided by (ii) MAPs in that same period. ARPMAP for a particular time period longer than one month is the average ARPMAP for each month during that period. ARPMAP shows how efficiently we are monetizing each MAP.
MAP decreased 28.4% in the three months ended October 31, 2025 when compared to the same period a year ago, primarily attributable to Apple’s App Tracking Transparence (“ATT”) framework which impedes our ability to invest in paid user acquisition (“PUA”) campaigns profitably in terms of return on ad spend or (“ROAS”). As such, we continued to scale back our PUA spend for GuruShots while testing new campaigns and creatives in order to unearth attractive ROAS scaling opportunities. ARPMAP increased 4.4% to $45.2 in the three months ended October 31, 2025 from $43.3 in the three months ended October 31, 2024.
The following table shows our MAP and ARPMAP for the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024.
| Three Months Ended October 31, | ||||||||||||

Our KPIs related to GuruShots are not based on any standardized industry methodology and are not necessarily calculated in the same manner that other companies or third parties may use to calculate these or similarly titled measures. The numbers that we use to calculate MAP and ARPMAP are derived from data that we generate internally. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable judgments and estimates for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring usage and engagement. We regularly review and may adjust our processes for calculating our internal metrics to improve their accuracy.

Our measure of subscription billings is a non-GAAP measure. The following table presents a reconciliation of subscription billings to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, for each of the periods indicated. We calculate subscription billings by adding the change in subscription deferred revenue between the start and end of the period to subscription revenue recognized in the same period. Subscription billings is a performance measure that we believe provides useful information to our management and investors as it allows us to better track the growth of the subscription-based portion of our business, which is a critical part of our business plan.

Three months Ended October 31, 2025 Compared to Three months Ended October 31, 2024
For the three months ended October 31, 2025, our total revenue increased by 5.8% compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily attributable to the increase in advertising and subscription revenue, partially offset by the 27.3% decline in GuruShots’ revenue during the corresponding periods.
For the three months ended October 31, 2025, our advertising revenue increased by 6.0% compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to higher average prices per advertising impression paid by advertisers on our platform, reflecting increased competition for our ad inventory. This growth was partially offset by an 11.3% decline in MAUs during the corresponding periods.
For the three months ended October 31, 2025, our subscription revenue increased 28.6%, and our subscription billings increased 6.1% compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the lifetime subscription offering for Android and iOS users we rolled out in August 2023 and August 2024, respectively.
For the three months ended October 31, 2025, our other revenue declined 7.7% compared to the same period in the prior year, principally due to a reduction in Zedge Premium net revenue. Zedge Premium net revenue decreased 7.9% over the same period, primarily reflecting lower revenue contributions from certain AI-generative features and reduced royalty forfeiture.
For the three months ended October 31, 2025, digital goods and services revenue declined 27.3% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the 28.4% decrease in GuruShots’ MAP, partially offset by the 4.4% increase in ARPMAP during the corresponding periods.
Direct cost of revenues. Direct cost of revenues consists primarily of content hosting and content delivery costs.

Direct cost of revenues increased 20.4% in the three months ended October 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher data center costs and additional costs related to certain new initiatives, including DataSeeds and other products under development. As a percentage of revenue, direct cost of revenues in the three months ended October 31, 2025 increase to 7.3% from 6.4% for the same period in the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) consists mainly of payroll and benefits, stock-based compensation expense (as discussed below), PUA expenses, third-party payment processing fee relate to in-app purchases, marketing, consulting, professional fees, software licensing (“SaaS”), recruiting fees, facilities and public company related expenses.

SG&A decreased 13.0% for the three months ended October 31, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by lower net personnel-related expenses, including stock-based compensation, resulting from the global restructuring initiative implemented in January 2025, which reduced our headcount by approximately 21%. SG&A also declined due to the expiration of the $8 million retention bonus program (evenly split between cash and stock) associated with the GuruShots acquisition, which concluded in April 2025.
For the three months ended October 31, 2025, we increased PUA spending for the Zedge App while reducing PUA spending for GuruShots relative to the prior-year period. Combined PUA spending decreased 5%, to $1.7 million in the three months ended October 31, 2025, from $1.8 million in the same period of the prior year. We expect to continue investing in PUA for the Zedge App in the near term, provided that return on ad spend (“ROAS”) remains attractive.
As a percentage of revenue, SG&A was 77.9% for the three months ended October 31, 2025, compared to 94.6% for the same period in the prior year.
Global headcount as of October 31, 2025 totaled 81 (including 14 at GuruShots) compared to 102 (including 28 at GuruShots) as of October 31, 2024 with the majority of our employees currently based in Lithuania and Israel.

Stock-based compensation expense decreased 72.6% for the three months ended October 31, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by the full amortization of $4 million in stock-based compensation associated with the restricted stock issued in connection with the GuruShots acquisition, which was amortized over a three-year period that concluded in March 2025. Certain stock options, DSUs and restricted stock grants are more fully described in Note 7 Stock-Based Compensation to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense consist mainly of amortization of intangible assets at GuruShots and Emojipedia and capitalized software and technology development costs of our internal developers on various projects that we invested in specific to the various platforms on which we operate our service.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by 43.3% for the three months ended October 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. This decline was principally attributable to the $0.8 million impairment charge recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 related to GuruShots’ capitalized software and technology development costs, which was incurred in connection with the global restructuring initiative.

In the three months ended October 31, 2025, interest and other income, net decreased by 15.5% for the three months ended October 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to lower cash and cash equivalent balance in the current period.
Net loss resulting from foreign exchange transactions. Net loss resulting from foreign exchange transactions is comprised of gains and losses generated from movements in NOK and EUR relative to the U.S. Dollar, including gains or losses from our hedging activities.

For the three months ended October 31, 2025, net loss from foreign exchange transactions increased by $32,000 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange rate movements.
We recognized mark-to-market (” MTM”) losses of $0 and $58,000 from NOK and EUR hedging activities for the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, as more fully described in Note 4, Derivative Instruments, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As a result of the global restructuring initiative implemented in January 2025, which included the closure of the Company’s Norway operations, we no longer have exposure to USD/NOK foreign exchange risk. Accordingly, there were no outstanding NOK forward contracts as of July 31, 2025. We have also concluded that there is no current requirement to enter into USD/EUR forward contracts beyond August 2025. As a result, there were no outstanding EUR forward contracts and no MTM adjustment as of October 31, 2025.

In the three months ended October 31, 2025, we generated pretax income of $1.0 million and recorded an income tax expense of $233,000, representing an effective tax rate of 22.8%. This rate exceeds our estimated effective tax rate for fiscal 2026 of 22.3%, primarily due to discrete tax items of $9,700 associated with the vesting DSUs during the current period.
In the three months ended October 31, 2024, we incurred a pretax loss of $290,000 and recorded an income tax expense of $49,000. The tax expense in this period primarily reflects discrete tax items of $115,000 related to the vesting of restricted stock and DSUs in the prior period, which more than offset an accrued tax benefit of $66,000 based on an estimated effective tax rate of 22.7%.

Three months Ended October 31, 2025 Compared to Three months Ended October 31, 2024
For the three months ended October 31, 2025, income from operations related to the Zedge Marketplace increased 66.4% to $1.6 million, compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher revenue and lower SG&A during the current period.
For the three months ended October 31, 2025, loss from operations related to GuruShots decreased 54.0% to $0.6 million, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended October 31, 2024. The decrease in operating loss was primarily driven by lower SG&A resulting from the global restructuring initiative implemented in January 2025, partially offset by lower revenue in the current period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
At October 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $18.5 million and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $14.6 million, compared to $18.6 million and $14.7 million, respectively, at July 31, 2025. We expect that our cash and cash equivalents on hand and our cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the twelve-month period ending December 12, 2026. We maintain a revolving credit facility of $4 million, including a foreign exchange contract facility of up to $7.5 million with WAB, as discussed below under Financing Activities and in Note 10, Revolving Credit Facility, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Operating Activities
Our cash flow from operations can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year, depending on our operating results and the timing of operating cash receipts and payments, particularly those related to trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.8 million for the three months ended October 31, 2025. This amount primarily reflects net income of $1.0 million, adjusted for non-cash items including $0.2 million of amortization and depreciation and $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense. These adjustments were partially offset by a $0.5 million net decrease resulting from changes in operating assets and liabilities, driven primarily by payroll tax payments related to severance and option gains for Norwegian employees impacted by our global restructuring initiative which has been completed as of July 31, 2025.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.2 million for the three months ended October 31, 2024. This amount primarily reflects a net loss of $0.3 million, adjusted for non-cash items including $0.4 million of amortization and depreciation and $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expense, as well as a $0.7 million net increase resulting from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The increase was primarily attributable to deferred revenue associated with lifetime subscriptions sold during the period.
Changes in Trade Accounts Receivable
Gross trade accounts receivable increased $0.1 million to $3.3 million at October 31, 2025 from $3.2 million at July 31, 2025, primarily due to higher revenue in the preceding two months ended October 31, 2025 when compared to the same period ended July 31, 2025.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities in the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 consisted primarily of capitalized software and technology development costs related to various projects that we invested in specific to the various platforms on which we operate our service.
Financing Activities
In the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, we repurchased – under our Board-approved share repurchase program – 238,460 shares and 219,573 shares, respectively, of our Class B common stock for approximately $776,000 and $782,000, respectively.
In the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, we purchased 4,312 shares and 6,903 shares respectively, of our Class B common stock from certain employees for $13,000 and $22,000, respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of DSUs.
On October 14, 2025, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.016 per share, aggregating approximately $208,000. The dividend was included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of October 31, 2025, and was paid on November 7, 2025, to stockholders of record as of October 24, 2025, as more fully described in Note 14, Shareholder Distributions and Earnings and Profits (E&P), to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Historically, we have had very little or no bad debt, which is common with other platforms of our size that derive their revenue from mobile advertising, as we aggressively manage our collections and perform due diligence on our customers. In addition, the majority of our revenue is derived from large, credit-worthy customers, e.g. Google, Facebook, Vungle and AppLovin, and we terminate our services with smaller customers immediately upon balances becoming past due. Since these smaller customers rely on us to derive their own revenue, they generally pay their outstanding balances on a timely basis.
In the three months ended October 31, 2025, we had only one large customer, and that customer represented 34% of our revenue for the period. In the three months ended October 31, 2024, the same customer represented 30% of our revenue, respectively. At October 31, 2025, two customers represented 42% and 14% of our accounts receivable balance, respectively. At July 31, 2024, three customers represented 43%, 12% and 11% of our accounts receivable balance, respectively. All of these significant customers were advertising exchanges operated by leading companies, and the receivables represent many smaller amounts due from their advertisers.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In October 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program of up to 1.5 million shares of our Class B common stock at a maximum aggregate purchase price of $3 million. In September 2024, upon the completion of the initial $3.0 million repurchase program, our Board of Directors authorized additional $5 million for the repurchase program with no limitation on the number of shares that may be repurchased. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. Open market repurchases may be structured to occur in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18. We may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our Class B common stock, has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at our discretion.
