Financial Statements of IZEA

5Y Trend (Revenue, Earnings, FCF)

Metric	Latest	YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength.	QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes.
RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three).	$31.2M	-12.9%	-11.7%
Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day.	$42326	+100.2%	+12.0%
Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials.	+48.1%	+17.5%	-10.7%
Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on).	-6.0%	+89.0%	-3.0%
Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales.	+0.1%	+100.3%	+0.4%
Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock.	$1.6M	+112.8%	+128.6%
FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine.	+5.0%	+114.7%	+132.3%
Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe.	0.0%	-85.7%	-100.0%
Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking.	6.44x	+44.1%	+4.1%
Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground.	$57.5M	-7.6%	-2.8%

Q2 2026

Unknown Speaker

Operator : Greetings, and welcome to the IZEA Worldwide, Inc. Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions] Please note this conference is being recorded. I will now turn the conference over to John Francis, VP of Sales and Marketing Operations. Thank you, John. You may begin. John Francis : Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to IZEA's earnings call covering the second quarter of 2026. I'm John Francis, VP, Sales and Marketing Operations at IZEA, and joining me on the call are IZEA's Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Venetucci and IZEA's Chief Financial Officer, Peter Biere. Thank you for being with us today. Earlier this afternoon, the company issued a press release detailing IZEA's performance during Q2 2026. If you would like to review those details, please visit our Investor Relations website at izea.com/investors. Before we begin, please take note of the safe harbor paragraph included in today's press release covering IZEA's financial results, and be advised that some of the statements we make today regarding our business, operations, and financial performance, may be considered forward-looking, and such statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. We encourage you to consider the disclosures contained in our SEC filings for a detailed discussion of these factors. Our commentary today will also include the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted EBITDA. Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP metrics for our reported results can be found in our earnings release issued earlier today and in our publicly available filings. And with that, I would now like to introduce and turn the call over to IZEA's Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Venetucci. Patrick? Patrick Venetucci : Thank you, John, and good afternoon, everyone. The second quarter represented another important step in IZEA's transformation into a more focused enterprise business. While our financial results did not meet our original expectations, I remain confident that the strategic decisions we have made are the right ones and that the foundation we have built is positioning the company for stronger long-term growth. Our first half performance was affected by 2 primary factors. First, marketers across nearly every major industry we serve became more cautious as macroeconomic uncertainty increased. Second, our transition from an SMB-focused organization to an enterprise-focused company has required operational changes that have taken longer to fully mature than we originally anticipated. Neither of these factors has changed our conviction in the opportunity ahead. Beginning with the market, many of our largest customers faced challenges that were largely outside of our control. Tariffs, consumer spending concerns, financing conditions, organizational restructurings, procurement consolidation and delayed marketing decisions affected clients across CPG, automotive, technology, retail, and entertainment. …
