Q2 2025 Financial Highlights (vs. Q2 2024)
Management Commentary
"We delivered solid revenue growth this quarter and closed major new contracts that will begin generating revenue in Q3," said Robert J. Thompson, QuoteMedia's Chairman of the Board. "We are also in advanced negotiations for additional large-scale deployments, which we expect to further enhance our performance."
The Company's Q2 profitability was impacted by how development costs were capitalized:
While the accounting for development costs significantly impacted our bottom line, it had no impact on cash flow. Gross margin, EBITDA, and profitability are expected to improve in future quarters as amortization expense decreases.
Outlook
"We are confident in a strong second half of 2025," Thompson added. "Our pipeline is robust, and we are proud of the team's ability to secure and implement high-value contracts."

Note 1 on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, as a non-GAAP pro forma financial measure, provides meaningful information to investors in terms of enhancing their understanding of our operating performance and results, as it allows investors to more easily compare our financial performance on a consistent basis compared to the prior year periods. This non-GAAP financial measure also corresponds with the way we expect investment analysts to evaluate and compare our results. Any non-GAAP pro forma financial measures should be considered only as supplements to, and not as substitutes for or in isolation from, or superior to, our other measures of financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as net income attributable to QuoteMedia, Inc.
We define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to QuoteMedia, Inc., plus: 1) depreciation and amortization, 2) stock compensation expense, 3) interest expense, 4) foreign exchange loss (or minus a foreign exchange gain), and 5) income tax expense. We disclose Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is a useful metric by which to compare the performance of our business from period to period. We understand that measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA are broadly used by analysts, rating agencies, investors and financial institutions in assessing our performance. Accordingly, we believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors. The table below provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to QuoteMedia, Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
QuoteMedia, Inc. Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation to Net Income:
| Three-months ended June 30, | 2025 | 2024 | |||||
| Net loss | $ | (853,582 | ) | $ | (251,173 | ) | |
| Depreciation and amortization | 786,394 | 752,082 | |||||
| Stock-based compensation | 42,294 | 1,750 | |||||
| Interest expense | 13,380 | 419 | |||||
| Foreign exchange loss | 107,865 | (10,415 | ) | ||||
| Income tax expense | 2,770 | 730 | |||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 99,121 | $ | 493,393 | |||
In addition to the non-GAAP measures discussed above, we also analyze certain measures, including net revenues and operating expenses, on an FX-neutral basis to better measure the comparability of operating results between periods. Management believes that changes in foreign currency exchange rates are not indicative of the company's operations and evaluating growth in net revenues and operating expenses on an FX-neutral basis provides an additional meaningful and comparable assessment of these measures to both management and investors. FX-neutral results are calculated by translating the current period's local currency results with the prior period's exchange rate. FX-neutral growth rates are calculated by comparing the current period's FX-neutral results by the prior period's results.
