Company Guidance
During the Ziff Davis Q1 2025 earnings call, CEO Vivek Shah and CFO Bret Richter provided guidance reaffirming full-year revenue growth of 5% and adjusted EBITDA growth of 6% at the midpoint. The company reported revenues of $328.6 million for Q1 2025, a 4.5% increase compared to Q1 2024, and adjusted EBITDA of $100.2 million with a margin of 30.5%. Segment performance varied, with Tech and Shopping revenues growing nearly 18%, Gaming and Entertainment by 4%, Health and Wellness over 7%, and Connectivity by 5%.
