Zedge Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results
New York, NY – March 15, 2024: Zedge, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: ZDGE), a leader in building digital marketplaces and friendly competitive games around content that people use to express themselves, today announced results for its second quarter of fiscal 2024, ended January 31, 2024.
“I’m encouraged by the overall positive momentum we experienced during the second quarter as most of our businesses reported strong results,” said Jonathan Reich, Zedge’s chief executive officer. “Advertising revenue grew by over 18% from last year based on strong performance from the Zedge Marketplace. Additionally, Zedge+, the Zedge Marketplace’s subscription offering, reported 11% sequential and 24% year-over-year revenue growth. The introduction of iOS subscriptions in late fiscal 2023, coupled with upgrading our Android subscription offering, has resulted in revenue and margin expansion as we attract new subscribers that monetize at a premium when compared to the ad-supported tier. Zedge Premium grew by 21% from last year, benefitting from increased pAInt use as we continued to expand the opportunity both for Zedge Marketplace users and introduced the functionality on the web. When taken together with the ongoing optimization of our advertising stack, these factors led to record ARPMAU1 with 37% year-over-year growth.
Second Quarter Highlights (fiscal 2024 versus fiscal 2023)
· | Revenue increased 11.3% to $7.8 million; | |
· | GAAP operating loss of $11.9 million, compared to operating income of $1.5 million; |
o | 2024 GAAP operating income included a $11.9 million non-cash accounting write-down of intangible assets, while the 2023 quarter included a $1.8 million non-cash accounting benefit, both related to the GuruShots acquisition; |
· | GAAP net loss and loss per share were ($9.2) million and ($0.66) compared to net income and EPS of $1.6 million and $0.11, respectively: |
· | Non-GAAP net income2 and EPS2 were $0.5 million and $0.04 compared to $0.8 million and $0.06, respectively; |
· | Adjusted EBITDA2 increased by 8.4% to $1.5 million; |
· | Zedge Premium Gross Transaction Value1, or GTV, increased 22.5% to $0.54 million. |

1 | We use the following 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 for sale. It also allows readers and potential advertisers to evaluate the size of our user base. |
· | 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 App, 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. | |
· | Total Installs – Cumulative measures the number of times the Zedge App has been downloaded since inception. |
2 | Throughout this release, Non-GAAP Net Income, Non-GAAP EPS and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures intended to provide useful information that supplement 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 and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. |

Fiscal 2024 Commentary
Reich continued, “We continue positioning Zedge to drive sustainable, profitable, long-term revenue growth. To this end, we have consolidated and centralized many functions throughout the Company, including marketing, data, analytics and design. We also consolidated the product teams managing the Zedge Marketplace and GuruShots. The goals of the Company-wide overhaul are to fuel future growth and simultaneously reduce costs. This plan also ties specifically into GuruShots, where our focus is to to stabilize the business, return it to growth and reduce its cost base. Although still early, we are seeing signs of improvement at GuruShots, and the rest of the Company is also benefitting from these changes.
“Diving into GuruShots, we upgraded the product management team over the past two quarters with subject matter experts in gaming emanating from some of the leading global mobile gaming publishers. This team has overhauled our product roadmap, focusing on innovation, which we believe can put GuruShots onto a growth trajectory, even while still facing the complicated marketing landscape resulting from Apple’s ATT framework.
“More specifically, the team is focusing on several key areas, starting with feature development. Since its acquisition, GuruShots has not introduced any significant new features in the game. However, when new features were introduced in years past, many resulted in revenue growth jumps of 10% to 30%, and we are targeting these types of returns with the new feature roadmap, which we plan to roll out over time incrementally. A recent example was introducing the Turbo feature in January, which added more gameplay and raised average daily revenue by around 15%.
“We are also revamping the GuruShots game economy to drive improved revenue production from in-app purchases. To do this, we are migrating to a multiple currency, virtual coin-based economy, which will move the game away from today’s current more rigid economy. This transition will also enable us to reward all players in a controlled and bespoke fashion, encouraging engagement and further driving purchases. Behind the scenes, our team can manage various currencies and rewards to optimize gameplay and satisfaction.
“Finally, we are creating a much more user-friendly onboarding experience to make it more inviting for newbies and open the top of the funnel. As part of this, we will also enable a more nuanced game progression, making it easier to segment users based on their experience and, therefore, leveling out the competition.
“Coupled with these product changes is marketing. Specifically, we will more closely align marketing spend with feature introductions. We have taken steps to increase the return on ad spend (ROAS) from GuruShots’ paid user acquisition activities while also continuing to focus on app-store optimization (ASO), search engine optimization (SEO) and creative strategy and execution. We believe these items will help drive growth for GuruShots and create the value we envisioned when acquiring the business.
“In parallel to our strategy to turn the tide at GuruShots, we remain heavily invested in creating sustainable growth at the Zedge Marketplace and Emojipedia. For the former, while our investments in subscriptions, paid user acquisition, pAInt and other features have helped return the business to growth, we remain focused on reversing negative MAU trends to accelerate growth rates. For Emojipedia, we have a roadmap of new features and services that we plan to roll out over the next 12 months, including emoji mashups, emoticons, kaomojis and other user enhancements that we believe will drive new users, increase engagement and enable monetization growth.”

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, defined as earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, transaction-related expenses and other non-recurring expenses, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and non-GAAP net income and EPS (which adjust out stock compensation expense, transaction-related expenses and other non-recurring expenses from GAAP net income and EPS), 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.
