Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Step-change revenue scale with consolidation: $22.78M (+182% YoY) and EBITDA $1.16M (+268% YoY) point to stronger monetization post-Cortex acquisition .
  • Operating inflection: Q3 operating income of $0.43M vs. loss in prior year suggests improving efficiency amid higher volumes .
  • Cost intensity remains the watch item: traffic-acquisition costs rose to $19.46M, implying continued dependence on paid traffic and the need to optimize CAC-to-revenue yield .
  • Non-GAAP strength and cash conversion: adjusted EBITDA ($1.28M) and net cash from ops ($1.58M) highlight underlying profitability and working capital management .
  • Visibility limited: no guidance and no call materials increase uncertainty on near-term margin/segment trajectory; monitor subsequent disclosures for quantification .
  • Balance sheet expanded with intangibles/goodwill ($33.38M combined), reflecting acquisition strategy; assess amortization and impairment risks against ad market dynamics .
  • Near-term trading: narrative likely centers on consolidation-driven growth and cash generation vs. rising acquisition costs; watch for future guidance and any updates on content/search unit economics to calibrate expectations .
