Zedge Marketplace subscription revenue increased 21%
Zedge Marketplace ARPMAU1 increased 22%
Zedge Premium GTV1 increased 62%
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / December 16, 2024 / Zedge, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN:ZDGE), $ZDGE, a leader in digital marketplaces and interactive games that provides content, enables creativity, empowers self-expression and facilitates community, today announced results for its first quarter fiscal 2025, ended October 31, 2024.
Jonathan Reich, Zedge's CEO, commented:
"We are encouraged by the underlying trends in our business, which provide a strong foundation for future growth despite a mixed bag of results at the start of the fiscal year.
"The Zedge Marketplace continued to shine with subscription revenue growing 21% year-over-year and accelerated growth in lifetime subscriptions drove an 8% increase in overall subscribers. Zedge Premium's GTV (Gross Transaction Value) surged by 62%, fueled by the popularity of our parallax wallpapers (3-D motion wallpapers), optimization of rewarded video CPMs and the expansion of pAInt, our AI image generator, demonstrating our ability to fuel growth with innovative features. These achievements and a shift towards users with higher return profiles led to an impressive 22% increase in Average Revenue per Monthly Active User (ARPMAU). Additionally, Zedge Marketplace iOS growth continues to be a bright spot for the Company with revenue up over 60% in the quarter. However, we did encounter some advertising challenges in the quarter, including a now resolved coding error that limited our supply of selected ad inventory for a short period, a delay in an ad partner's testing of our platform, and start up complexities from adding a new advertising mediation platform to our mix. Additionally, we adopted a more conservative short-term approach to user acquisition, prioritizing higher returns on ad spend (ROAS) over rapid scaling. Despite these hurdles, we are confident in our ability to return to advertising revenue growth in the quarters ahead.
"Emojipedia delivered an outstanding quarter with record revenue up 33% year-over-year, showcasing its continued appeal as the go-to resource for emoji-related information and its strength as a revenue generator within our portfolio. We are thrilled to see Emojipedia's sustained growth, further validating its value to our ecosystem and validating our original acquisition thesis.
"GuruShots remains in transition as we focus on initiatives aimed at attracting new users who will convert into recurring, paying players. We're currently rolling out Duels, a player-versus-player (PVP) game mechanic that will cap the new onboarding, economy and Missions enhancements we introduced in 2024. Despite limiting marketing spend, we are seeing early signs of growth with higher engagement and retention among new players. Our next area of focus relates to effectively monetizing new players and efficiently growing paid user acquisition, which we believe will pave the way for sustainable growth.
"In summary, while we had some near-term challenges, we remain focused on executing on our strategy, driving innovation and delivering value for our stockholders, and the progress we've made reaffirms our confidence that we are headed in the right direction."
Fiscal 2025 Outlook
"We anticipate significant improvements in our second quarter driven by traditional holiday seasonal strength and the resolution of key challenges from the first quarter. For the remainder of fiscal 2025, we are focused on leveraging our solid foundation to drive growth and scalability across all business units. A critical part of this strategy is the ongoing integration of generative AI into our product portfolio, enriching the user experience with cutting-edge features. Our recent beta launch of the AI Emoji Generator on Cyber Monday exemplifies this approach, enabling Emojipedia users to design custom emojis and break free from standard device keyboards.
"Our top priority for the Zedge Marketplace this year is to transform users from content consumers into content creators, aligning ourselves more deeply within the Creator Economy. The continued rollout of pAInt 2.0 and the planned imminent addition of AI audio capabilities underscore our commitment to innovation. Audio, in particular, represents an exciting opportunity to attract new users and deepen engagement with existing ones, further solidifying our position in this dynamic space.
"Beyond product advancements, our marketing team remains a critical revenue growth driver. After weathering the first quarter's challenges, we are confident in the team's ability to accelerate ROAS-attractive user acquisition, particularly in well-developed economies, while also building on our strong momentum with iOS users. This alignment of innovative products and strategic marketing positions us for continued success.
"Emojipedia continues to thrive, with the expansion of the 'Emoji Playground' in early December which now includes the AI-driven emoji creator. Our next priority will be redesigning and upgrading Emojipedia's website to improve engagement and reinforce its reputation as the premier destination for emoji enthusiasts worldwide.
"For GuruShots, our primary focus is returning to growth. To achieve this, we are allocating resources to new feature introductions and enhancements designed to better attract and engage new users, versus previously relying mainly on legacy players to fuel the game's growth. While this transition may continue negatively impacting short-term revenue, we believe we are seeing the bottom of that curve. The changes we've implemented-including an enhanced onboarding process, a coin-based in-game economy, and the launch of Missions-are already showing promising early results. Looking ahead, the imminent release of Duels during the holiday season will add an exciting competitive PvP layer to the game, driving further engagement and retention.
"Lastly, we remain committed to introducing new products to drive long-term growth. Projects like Wishcraft and AI Art Master, currently in beta, highlight our ability to foster innovation and agility. By centralizing our development platform, we can iterate quickly, prioritize initiatives that show promise and scale successful concepts while promptly cutting offerings that show less promise. This approach positions us to create incremental wins and breakthrough successes that will hopefully fuel Zedge's sustained growth in the years ahead and make $ZDGE a growth stock once again. In the meantime, we will continue to innovate in our offerings and take advantage of our value stock status with the $5 million share repurchase program that the board authorized," concluded Reich.

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.

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.
