Zedge Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Fiscal 2026 Results

“Fiscal year 2026 was a strong recovery year for Zedge. Our relentless focus on monetization improvement drove solid revenue gains, especially within our subscription offerings, where revenue grew nearly 30%. Overall revenue increased approximately 8%, despite a marked decline at Emojipedia that reduced our consolidated revenue growth by approximately 300 basis points. Combined with the benefits of our FY2025 restructuring, these improvements contributed to significant growth in non-GAAP EPS(2), adjusted EBITDA(2) and free cash flow. Our stronger cash generation enabled us to return approximately $2.7 million to stockholders through share repurchases(3) and quarterly dividends, the latter of which we initiated during the year and subsequently increased by 25%, all while still adding cash to our balance sheet.”

“From a product standpoint, the major story was establishing DataSeeds.AI as a commercial business, securing repeat orders from new and existing customers, including our first six-figure order, and putting the people and infrastructure in place to support larger and more complex projects. That progress excited Howard Jonas about the opportunity, so much so that he led a $7.7 million insider investment in Zedge in September to accelerate DataSeeds' growth. In light of the investment, Howard is taking a more active role in helping us accelerate, scale and unlock this business's potential. The Company also hired Morris Berger, who has a long and successful track record, as our CEO earlier this month.”

“DataSeeds has the ingredients to become a meaningful growth business for Zedge. It combines established creator communities, content assets and experience operating consumer applications with purpose-built data collection technology and the DataSeeds Production Cloud. These capabilities allow us to produce rights-cleared, multimodal datasets tailored to complex customer requirements. The business has already established commercial traction through repeat orders, growing order sizes and the potential to expand into new products and services, evidenced by our initial model-evaluation engagement. We see room to build on that foundation across training data, model evaluation, annotation and data enrichment, and specialized datasets for physical AI and robotics.”
