Financials Breakdown Chart

Key Financial Trends

Ziff Davis’ Q1 2026 results show a sharp rebound in profitability and solid cash generation, but the quarter also featured a meaningful drop in cash and continued heavy capital returns to shareholders.

Revenue came in at $267.6 million, down from $406.7 million in Q4 2025 and $272.8 million in Q1 2025. The year-over-year comparison is relatively flat, but the sequential decline reflects normal seasonality and a softer top line than the prior quarter. Gross profit was $223.3 million, with gross margin still strong at roughly 83%.

Operating income was only $2.9 million, a big step down from $86.0 million in Q4 2025, but that was likely impacted by the lower revenue base and a still-heavy expense structure. On the bottom line, reported consolidated net income was $22.3 million, helped by $23.0 million from discontinued operations. Continuing operations were essentially breakeven at ($0.8 million), versus $9.8 million of continuing income in Q1 2025 restated results.

Cash flow was mixed. Ziff Davis generated $30.0 million in operating cash flow, which is positive, but that was well below $191.1 million in Q4 2025 and $20.6 million in Q1 2025. The company also spent $33.1 million on capital expenditures and repurchased $51.6 million of stock, while repaying another $1.9 million of debt.

The balance sheet remains reasonably sturdy, but cash declined materially from the prior quarter. Cash and equivalents fell to $519.7 million from $503.4 million in Q3 2025 and $431.0 million in Q1 2025, while total debt stood at $867.1 million combined short-term and long-term debt. Equity was $1.72 billion, and total assets were $3.39 billion.

  • Gross margin remains high, with gross profit of $223.3 million on $267.6 million of revenue, showing strong underlying monetization.
  • Operating cash flow was positive at $30.0 million, so the business is still generating cash from operations.
  • Reported net income improved meaningfully to $22.3 million, helped by discontinued operations.
  • Cash on hand remains substantial at $519.7 million, giving the company flexibility.
  • Share repurchases continue, which can support per-share earnings if operating performance stabilizes.
  • Revenue was down sequentially from Q4 2025, but the business has generally held up better on a year-over-year basis than the quarter-over-quarter comparison suggests.
  • Discontinued operations boosted earnings, so the headline profit figure is stronger than the core continuing business.
  • Capex remained meaningful at $33.1 million, indicating ongoing investment in the business.
  • Debt remains a notable balance-sheet item at about $867.1 million combined, but it does not appear immediately strained by current liquidity.
  • Continuing operations were essentially breakeven, suggesting the core business is not yet translating revenue into meaningful profit this quarter.
  • Operating cash flow fell sharply from the prior quarter, which is a caution flag if the trend continues.
  • Cash and equivalents declined sharply versus the prior quarter after financing outflows and buybacks.
  • Share repurchases were large at $51.6 million, which supports EPS but also consumes liquidity when operating cash flow is softer.

Bottom line: Ziff Davis still looks financially durable, with strong margins, positive operating cash flow, and a large cash balance. But the latest quarter shows pressure in core continuing operations and a heavy reliance on cash for buybacks and investments. Investors will want to watch whether operating income and continuing earnings can recover in the next few quarters.
