The company reported revenue of $234.9 million, an increase of 2.5% year-over-year (YoY) and 1.8% on a currency neutral basis [1]. This figure surpassed analyst estimates of $234.77 million.

The company's adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were five cents, exceeding estimates of one cent per share.

The company reported a net loss of $34.4 million, compared to a net income of $3.7 million in Q2 2024. This loss was primarily due to a $57.2 million increase in foreign exchange loss and a $10.9 million decrease in income from operations, largely attributed to merger-related expenses. Despite the net loss, the company's adjusted EBITDA margin remained strong at 28.9% for Q2 2025.

The company's strategic initiatives, such as its partnership with Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival and the upgrade of its AI suite of services, have contributed to its strong performance. Additionally, the company's merger with Shutterstock continues to progress, with regulatory clearance expected by the end of 2025.
