IZEA Worldwide Inc (NASDAQ: IZEA) reported its Q2 2025 earnings, with revenue at $9.1 million, slightly missing analyst estimates of $9.50 million. However, the company achieved a net income of $1.2 million and a positive EBITDA of $1.3 million, marking its first profitable quarter. The company's CEO, Patrick Venetucci, attributed the success to its focus on larger, recurring accounts and cost management.

Revenue for the quarter was $9.1 million, a 0.4% increase compared to the prior year. Excluding the divested Hoozu business, revenue grew by 11%. Cost of revenue decreased to $4.4 million, or 48% of revenue, from $5.2 million, or 57%, in the prior year. Total costs and expenses, excluding the cost of revenue, decreased by 41% to $4.0 million. Sales and marketing costs were reduced by 70% to $1.0 million, and general and administrative costs decreased by 14% to $2.9 million.

The company's net income was $1.2 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.2 million, or $(0.13) per share, in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $1.3 million, compared to $(2.2) million in the prior year. As of June 30, 2025, the company had $50.6 million in cash and equivalents and no long-term debt.

IZEA continued its stock repurchase program, buying back 121,788 shares at an average price of $2.29 during Q2 2025, for an aggregate investment of $0.3 million. The company's positive cash flow from operations reinforces its improved financial health.

The successful client roster expansion, including major brands like Corona, Kellogg's, and Nestlé, suggests IZEA's influencer marketing solutions remain competitive. The strategic restructuring implemented in Q4 2024 has clearly delivered early positive results, positioning IZEA for potentially sustainable profitability going forward.
