Kingsway Financial Services ( (KFS) ) has issued an announcement.

Kingsway Financial Services reported strong top-line growth for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, driven largely by its Kingsway Search Xcelerator segment, even as consolidated profitability remained under pressure. Fourth-quarter revenue rose 30.1% to $38.6 million, with KSX revenue surging 63.6% to $20.3 million and Extended Warranty revenue up 6.1% to $18.3 million, but the company still posted a small net loss of $1.6 million and lower adjusted EBITDA of $2.7 million amid weaker profitability in the Extended Warranty unit.

For the full year 2025, consolidated revenue increased 23.4% to $135.0 million, led by a 58.5% jump in KSX revenue to $64.2 million and modest 2.8% growth in Extended Warranty, while net loss widened to $10.3 million and adjusted EBITDA declined to $7.8 million as net debt climbed to $62.4 million. Management highlighted portfolio LTM EBITDA of $22.0 million to $23.0 million, the launch of a skilled trades platform, six KSX acquisitions and the January 2026 purchase of Ledgers, Inc., and reiterated plans for three to five additional KSX acquisitions and double-digit organic growth across both segments in 2026, underscoring a strategy focused on scaling its operator-led model despite near-term pressure on margins and leverage.
