NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

 

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business

 

Zedge, Inc. builds digital marketplaces and friendly competitive games around content that people use to express themselves. Our leading products include Zedge Ringtones and Wallpapers, which we refer to as our Zedge App, a freemium digital content marketplace offering mobile phone wallpapers, video wallpapers, ringtones, and notification sounds as well as pAInt, a generative AI wallpaper maker, GuruShots, a skill-based photo challenge game, and Emojipedia, the #1 trusted source for ‘all things emoji’. Our vision is to enable and connect creators who enjoy friendly competitions with a community of prospective consumers in order to drive commerce. Except where the context clearly indicates otherwise, the terms the “Company,” “Zedge” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Zedge, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Zedge, Inc. and its subsidiaries: GuruShots Ltd. (“GuruShots”); Zedge Europe AS; and Zedge Lithuania UAB (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024 or any other period. The balance sheet at July 31, 2023 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

The Company’s fiscal year ends on July 31 of each calendar year. Each reference below to a fiscal year refers to the fiscal year ending in the calendar year indicated (e.g., fiscal 2023 refers to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023).

 

Reportable Segments

 

Effective August 1, 2022, we revised the presentation of segment information to reflect our acquisition of GuruShots. As such, we now report operating results through two reportable segments: Zedge Marketplace and GuruShots, as further discussed in Note 11, Segment and Geographic Information.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from the Company’s estimates due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the economic environment due to various global events. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s financial condition or operating results will be affected. The Company bases its estimates on past experience and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, and the Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The guidance in ASU 2023-07 seeks to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose the following: significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition; and the title and position of the CODM and how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This ASU requires public entities to provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods. ASU 2023-07 clarifies that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-07 is a requirement for additional disclosure and is not expected to materially impact the consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance in this ASU enhances the transparency and decision functionality of income tax disclosures to provide investors information to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks, tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flow. The amendments in this ASU require public entities to disclose the following specific categories in the rate reconciliation by both percentages and reporting currency amounts: the effect of state and local income tax, net of federal (national) income tax, foreign tax effects, effects of changes in tax laws or rates enacted in the current period, effects of cross-border tax laws, tax credits, changes in valuation allowances, nontaxable or nondeductible items and changes in unrecognized tax benefits. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 also require public entities to provide additional information for reconciling items that meet the qualitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pre-tax income (loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The ASU requires reporting entities to annually disclose the year-to-date amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state and foreign localities.

Contract Balances

 

The Company enters into contracts with its customers, which may give rise to contract liabilities (deferred revenue) and contract assets (unbilled revenue). The payment terms and conditions within the Company’s contracts vary by products or services purchased, substantially all of which are due in less than one year. When the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of payments made by customers, the Company recognizes deferred revenue (when customer payment is received in advance of performance). The Company does not have unbilled revenue (when the Company’s performance precedes the billing date).

 

Deferred revenues

 

On April 1, 2022, the AppLovin Corporation paid the Company a one-time integration bonus of $2 million for migrating to their mediation platform. This amount has been amortized over an estimated service period of 24 months that ended March 31, 2024. The Company’s deferred revenue balance related to this bonus was $0 and approximately $0.7 million as of April 30, 2024 and July 31, 2023, respectively.

 

The Company records deferred revenues related to the unsatisfied performance obligations with respect to subscription revenue. The Company’s deferred revenue balance for paid subscriptions was approximately $2.4 million related to approximately 654,000 active subscribers, and approximately $1.5 million, related to approximately 647,000 active subscribers, as of April 30, 2024 and July 31, 2023, respectively.

 

The Company also records deferred revenues when users purchase or earn Zedge Credits. Unused Zedge Credits represent the value of the Company’s unsatisfied performance obligation to its users. Revenue is recognized when Zedge App users use Zedge Credits to acquire Zedge Premium content or upon expiration of the Zedge Credits upon 180 days of account inactivity (“Breakage”). As of April 30, 2024, and July 31, 2023, the Company’s deferred revenue balance related to Zedge Premium was approximately $258,000 and $255,000, respectively.

 

The amount of deferred revenue recognized in the nine months ended April 30, 2024 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at July 31, 2023 was $2.1 million.

Significant Judgments

 

The advertising networks and advertising exchanges to which the Company sells its inventory track and report the impressions and revenues to Zedge and Zedge recognizes revenues based on these reports. The networks and exchanges base their payments off of those reports and Zedge independently compares the data to each of the client sites to validate the imported data and identify any differences. The number of impressions and revenues delivered by the advertising networks and advertising exchanges is determined at the end of each month, which resolves any uncertainty in the transaction price during the reporting period.

 

Practical Expedients

 

The Company expenses the fees retained by Google Play and the App Store related to subscription revenue when incurred as marketing expense because the duration of the contracts for which the Company pays commissions are less than one year, except for the new lifetime subscriptions we rolled out in August 2023. These costs are included in the selling, general and administrative expenses of the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

(2) – observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

(3) – no observable pricing inputs in the market

 

Contingent Consideration

 

Contingent consideration related to business combinations are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the determination of fair value uses considerable judgement and represents the Company’s best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a market exchange for the asset or liability.

 

The following table provides a rollforward of the contingent consideration related to our acquisition of GuruShots (in thousands):

 

Balance at July 31, 2022  $1,943 
Change in fair value   (1,943)
Balance at April 30, 2023  $0 

 

The overall fair value of the contingent consideration decreased by $1,943,000 during the nine months ended April 30, 2023, due primarily to the decrease in the likelihood that certain contingent milestones would be achieved.

 

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

 

Fair value of the outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts are marked to market price at the end of each measurement period.

 

The Company’s other financial instruments at April 30, 2024 and July 31, 2023 included trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable. The carrying amounts of other assets and liabilities such as prepaid expenses, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable approximated fair value due to their short-term nature.

Note 4—Derivative Instruments

 

The primary risk managed by the Company using derivative instruments is foreign exchange risk. Foreign exchange forward contracts are entered into as hedges against unfavorable fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar (USD) to Norwegian Kroner (NOK) and USD to Euro (EUR) exchange rates. The Company is party to a Foreign Exchange Agreement with Western Alliance Bank (“WAB”) allowing the Company to enter into foreign exchange contracts under its revolving credit facility with the bank (see Note 10 Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility). The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these contracts, and therefore the changes in fair value are recorded in unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. By using derivative instruments to mitigate exposures to changes in foreign exchange rates, the Company is exposed to credit risk from the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the contract. The credit or repayment risk is minimized by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.

 

The outstanding contracts at April 30, 2024, were as follows:

 

Settlement Date  U.S. Dollar Amount   NOK Amount 
May-24   225,000    2,237,738

Note 5—Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

Intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value and stated net of accumulated amortization and impairments. The Company amortizes its intangible assets that have finite lives using either the straight-line method, or if reliably determinable, based on the pattern in which the economic benefit of the asset is expected to be utilized. Amortization is recorded over the estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 15 years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its definite lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances or business conditions indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable based on expectations of future undiscounted cash flows for each asset group. If the carrying value of an asset or asset group exceeds its undiscounted cash flows, the Company estimates the fair value of the assets, generally utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis based on the present value of after-tax cash flows to be generated by the assets using a risk-adjusted discount rate. To estimate the fair value of the assets, the Company uses market participant assumptions pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, in connection with its company-wide strategic planning process as well as evaluating the current operating performance of its GuruShots reporting unit, including product enhancement and marketing, the Company reassessed its short-term and long-term commercial plans for this business. The Company made certain operational and strategic decisions to invest in, and increase its focus on, the long-term success of this business, which resulted in the Company significantly reducing its forecasted revenues and operating results.

 

As a result, the Company identified indicators of impairment and performed an undiscounted cash flow analysis pursuant to ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall, to determine if the cash flows expected to be generated by the GuruShots business over the estimated remaining useful life of its primary assets were sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset group. Based on this analysis, the undiscounted cash flows were not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the long-lived assets. As a result, the Company was required to perform Step 3 of the impairment test and determine the fair value of the asset group. To estimate the fair value of the asset group, the Company utilized the income approach, which is based on a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis and calculates the fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to the asset group and then discounting the after-tax cash flows to present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Assumptions used in the DCF require significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates, growth rates, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The forecasted cash flows were based on the Company’s most recent strategic plan and for periods beyond the strategic plan, the Company’s estimates were based on assumed growth rates expected as of the measurement date. The Company believes its assumptions were consistent with the plans and estimates that a market participant would use to manage the business. The discount rate used was intended to reflect the risks inherent in future cash flow projections and was based on an estimate of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of market participants relative to the asset group. The Company used a discount rate of 30.5%. Based on this analysis, the fair value of the GuruShots asset group was below its carrying value. The Company determined that the fair value of this asset group was approximately zero and the carrying value of the long-lived assets was fully impaired.

 

To record the adjustment of the carrying value of the asset group to fair value, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $11.9 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The impairment charge was allocated to the long-lived assets on a pro-rata basis as follows: $2.5 million to acquired developed technology, $6.4 million to customer relationships, and $3.0 million to trade names. The Company believes its assumptions used to determine the fair value of the asset group were reasonable.

The Company’s amortization expense for intangible assets were $1.3 million and $1.7 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. The Company reviews goodwill yearly, or more frequently whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered, for impairment by initially considering qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill, as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative analysis. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative analysis is performed to identify goodwill impairment. Conversely, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is more than its carrying amount, it is unnecessary to perform a quantitative analysis. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing a quantitative analysis.

 

The Company has two reporting units and assesses impairment based upon qualitative factors and if necessary, quantitative factors. A reporting unit’s fair value is determined using the income approach and discounted cash flow models by utilizing Level 3 inputs and assumptions such as future cash flows, discount rates, long-term growth rates, market value and income tax considerations. Specifically, the value of each reporting unit is determined on a stand-alone basis from the perspective of a market participant and represents the price estimated to be received in a sale of the reporting unit in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company then reconciles the values of all reporting units to the market capitalization of the Company.

 

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment tests on May 1 each year (the first day of fiscal 4th quarter) based on information available as of April 30 in accordance with ASC 350-20-35-28. In light of a significant and sustained decline in the Company’s Class B common stock price during the six months ended January 31, 2023, circumstances became evident that a possible goodwill impairment existed since the last annual impairment test on May 1, 2022. The Company performed an interim impairment test during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and concluded that the carrying value of the GuruShots reporting unit exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $8.7 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Note 7—Stock-Based Compensation

 

2016 Incentive Plan

 

On March 23, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the Company’s 2016 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (as amended to date, the “2016 Incentive Plan”) to increase the number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock available for the grant of awards thereunder by an additional 685,000 shares to an aggregate of 2,531,000 shares, including 626,000 shares for the retention pool for GuruShots employees established under the agreement related to that acquisition. This amendment was ratified by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on January 18, 2023.

 

At April 30, 2024, there were 347,000 shares of Class B common stock available for awards under the 2016 Incentive Plan before accounting for 204,000 contingently issuable shares related to deferred stock units (“DSUs”) with both service and market conditions.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation for stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock and DSUs based on the estimated fair value of the awards and recognized over the relevant service period and/or market conditions. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company estimates the fair value of the restricted stock and DSU’s with service conditions only using the current market price of the stock. The Company estimates the fair value of the DSU’s with both service and market conditions using the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model.

 

12

 

 

The Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo Simulation valuation models incorporate assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options or awards, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to options and restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally 4 years for options and 3 years for restricted stock units.

 

In our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for our employees and non-employees as follows (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended April 30,   Nine Months Ended April 30, 
   2024   2023   2024   2023 
Stock-based compensation expense  $482   $578   $1,673   $1,957 

 

As of April 30, 2024, the Company’s unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was $227,000 for unvested stock options, $184,000 for unvested DSUs and $1.4 million for unvested restricted stock including the $4 million portion of the GuruShots retention bonus pool to be paid in the Company’s Class B common stock.

 

In the nine months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, awards of restricted stock and DSUs with respect to 246,000 shares and 267,000 shares, respectively, vested, and in connection with these vesting events, the Company purchased 6,328 shares and 6,310 shares respectively, of our Class B common stock from certain employees for $13,000 and $17,000, respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

 

Restricted Stock Awards

 

In November 2023, the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors approved a grant of 116,208 restricted shares of our Class B common stock to our Executive Chairman Michael Jonas. Mr. Jonas agreed to accept all of his base compensation for his service as Executive Chairman during fiscal 2024 in the form of equity in the Company. These shares shall vest in equal amounts on February 7, 2025, 2026 and 2027. These shares had an aggregate grant date fair value of $380,000 which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

 

Repricing of Outstanding and Unexercised Options

 

On October 20, 2022, the Board unanimously approved the repricing of all then outstanding and unexercised stock options granted under the 2016 Incentive Plan with exercise prices above the then current market value held by then current employees, executive officers, and consultants of the Company (the “Eligible Stock Options”). Effective October 20, 2022, the exercise price of the eligible stock options was reduced to $2.27, the closing price of its common stock on October 19, 2022. Except for the modification to the exercise price of the Eligible Stock Options, all other terms and conditions of each of the Eligible Stock Options remained in full force and effect.

 

Pursuant to the 2016 Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, as the administrator of the plan, has discretionary authority, exercisable on such terms and conditions that it deems appropriate under the circumstances, to reduce the exercise price in effect for outstanding options under the 2016 Incentive Plan. In approving the repricing, the Compensation Committee considered the impact of the current exercise prices of outstanding stock options on the incentives provided to employees and consultants, the lack of retention value provided by the outstanding stock options to employees and consultants, and the impact of such options on the capital structure of the Company. As of October 20, 2022, there were 532,750 stock options outstanding under the 2016 Incentive Plan, of which 191,663 outstanding stock options had exercise prices in excess of the market price of the Company’s common stock as of October 20, 2022, which is why the Compensation Committee made the determination to deem all outstanding and unexercised stock options held by current employees, executive officers, and consultants as Eligible Stock Options.

 

Jonathan Reich, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Yi Tsai, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, held Eligible Stock Options exercisable for an aggregate of 64,898 and 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, which options were repriced.

 

The option repricing resulted in incremental stock-based compensation of $87,000, of which $39,000 was recorded as expense in the three months ended January 31, 2023, and $48,000 will be recognized as expense over the requisite service periods over which the Eligible Stock Options vest.

Note 8—Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to all classes of common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share, except that the number of shares is increased to include restricted stock still subject to risk of forfeiture, issuances to be made on the vesting of unvested DSUs and the exercise of potentially dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increase is anti-dilutive.

 

The rights of holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical except for certain voting and conversion rights and restrictions on transferability. As such, the Company is not required to break out earnings per share by class.

 

The weighted-average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders consists of the following (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   April 30,   April 30, 
   2024   2023   2024   2023 
Basic weighted-average number of shares   14,191    14,017    14,077    14,221 
Effect of dilutive securities:                    
Stock options   349    -    
-
    - 
Non-vested restricted Class B common stock   1    -    
-
    - 
Deferred stock units   1    -    
-
    - 
Diluted weighted-average number of shares   14,542    14,017    14,077    14,221 

 

The following shares were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share computations because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   April 30,   April 30, 
   2024   2023   2024   2023 
Stock options   126    855    861    831 
Non-vested restricted Class B common stock   181    426    216    426 
Deferred stock units   201    237    203    237 
Shares excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share   508    1,518    1,280    1,494 

 

For the nine months ended April 30, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, the diluted earnings per share equals basic earnings per share because the Company incurred a net loss during those periods and the impact of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock and DSUs would have been anti-dilutive.

In connection with the acquisition of GuruShots, the Company (i) committed to a retention pool of $4 million in cash (in addition to the $4 million portion of the retention pool to be paid in the Company’s Class B common stock discussed in Note 7) to be paid to the founders and employees of GuruShots payable over three years from April 1, 2022 based on the beneficiaries thereof remaining employed by the Company or a subsidiary; and (ii) agreed to invest a minimum in user acquisition in the first 24 months following the closing subject to the acquired users generating minimum ROAS thresholds and payment of an earnout if certain growth targets were met. The Company’s obligations with respect to a potential earnout have been terminated.

 

14

 

 

At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company and the prior owners of GuruShots agreed to withdraw and settle claims related to the purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company purchased the equity of GuruShots, including any dispute about minimum user acquisition spend for GuruShots, any right of the prior owners to an earnout payment and the Company’s claim for indemnification related to alleged misrepresentations in the agreement.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company may from time to time be subject to other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although there can be no assurance in this regard, the Company does not expect any of those legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

Note 10—Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility

 

As of September 27, 2016, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with WAB for a revolving credit facility of up to $2.5 million for an initial two-year term which was extended twice for another two-year term which expired September 26, 2022 and was amended on October 28, 2022 as discussed below. The revolving credit facility was secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets. Effective with the September 2020 extension, the outstanding principal amount bore interest per annum at the greater of 3.5% or the prime rate plus 1.25%. Interest was payable monthly and all outstanding principal and any accrued and unpaid interest was due on the maturity date of September 26, 2022. The Company was required to pay an annual facility fee of $10,000 to WAB. The Company was also required to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants and to maintain certain financial ratios during the term of the revolving credit facility. The covenants included a prohibition on the Company paying any dividend on its capital stock.

 

On October 28, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (“Amended Loan Agreement”) with WAB. Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, WAB agreed to provide the Company with a new term loan facility in the maximum principal amount of $7 million for a four-year term and a $4 million revolving credit facility for a two-year term expiring October 28, 2024. Amounts outstanding under the term loan and credit facility of the Amended Loan Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 0.5%, with a Prime “floor” rate of 4.00%.

 

Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company discontinued the then existing $2 million revolving credit facility under the prior version of the Loan and Security Agreement. At the time of the discontinuance, there was no outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility.

 

Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, $2 million was advanced in a single-cash advance on October 28, 2022, with the remaining $5 million available for drawdown during twenty-four (24) months after closing. Each drawdown must be in an amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). On May 11, 2023, the Company entered into a Modification Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to modify the Amended Loan Agreement to reduce the remaining $5 million availability to $0.

 

Interest accrued under the Amended Loan Agreement is due monthly, and the Company shall make monthly interest-only payments related to the term loan through the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the closing date. From the nineteen (19) month anniversary of the Closing Date through the maturity date, the Company shall repay each outstanding term loan by paying the Applicable Term Advance Amortization Payment equal to 1/12th of 10% of the outstanding term loan balance plus monthly payments of accrued interest, in each case payable on the tenth (10th) day of each month. Zedge’s final payment for each Term Advance, due on the Term Loan Maturity Date, shall include all outstanding principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on such Term Advance. Once repaid, a Term Advance may not be reborrowed.

 

On November 15, 2023, the Company elected to prepay the entire principal amount of $2 million.

 

15

 

 

The Amended Loan Agreement may also require early repayments if certain conditions are met. Borrowings under the Amended Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, its subsidiaries, and certain of its affiliates.

 

The Amended Loan Agreement includes the following financial covenants:

 

  a) Debt Service Coverage Ratio. Zedge shall maintain, at all times, a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of no less than 1.25 to 1.00. This covenant shall be tested quarterly as of the end of each fiscal quarter.

  

  b) Maximum Debt to EBITDA. Zedge shall maintain, at all times, a ratio of (a) indebtedness owed by Zedge to WAB, to (b) Zedge’s EBITDA for the trailing twelve (12) month period ended on such date of determination, shall not be greater than the amount set forth under the heading “Maximum Debt to EBITDA Ratio” as of, and for each of the dates appearing adjacent to such Maximum Debt to EBITDA Ratio”.

 

Maximum Debt to Quarter Ending   EBITDA Ratio
October 31, 2022   1.75 to 1.00
January 31, 2023   1.75 to 1.00
April 30, 2023   1.75 to 1.00
July 31, 2023   1.75 to 1.00
October 31, 2023   1.25 to 1.00
April 30, 2024   1.25 to 1.00
April 30, 2024   1.25 to 1.00
July 31, 2024   1.25 to 1.00
Thereafter   To be agreed upon

 

The Amended Loan Agreement also includes customary negative covenants, subject to exceptions, which limit transfers, capital expenditures, indebtedness, certain liens, investments, acquisitions, dispositions of assets, restricted payments and the business activities of the Company, as well as customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, including cross defaults and a change of control default.

 

As of November 16, 2016, the Company entered into a Foreign Exchange Agreement with WAB to allow the Company to enter into foreign exchange contracts not to exceed $5.0 million in the aggregate at any point in time under its revolving credit facility. This limit was raised to approximately $7.5 million pursuant to the Loan and Security Modification Agreement dated May 30, 2018. The available borrowing under the revolving credit facility is reduced by an applicable foreign exchange reserve percentage as determined by WAB, in its reasonable discretion from time to time, which was set at 10% of the nominal amount of the foreign exchange contracts in effect at the relevant time. At April 30, 2024, there were $3.3 million of outstanding foreign exchange contracts, which reduced the available borrowing under the revolving credit facility by $330,000.

 

Note 11—Segment and Geographic Information

 

Segment Information

 

Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer as of April 30, 2024.

 

Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company revised the presentation of segment information to align with changes to how the Company’s CODM manages the business, allocates resources and assesses operating performance reports operating results based on two reportable segments, which are the Zedge Marketplace and GuruShots.

 

16

 

 

The CODM evaluates the performance of each operating segment using revenue and income (loss) from operations. The following table provides information about the Company’s two reportable segments (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended April 30,   Nine Months Ended April 30, 
   2024   2023   2024   2023 
Revenues:                
Zedge Marketplace  $6,789   $5,636   $19,778   $16,941 
GuruShots   869    1,090    2,732    3,668 
Total Revenues   $7,658   $6,726   $22,510   $20,609 
                     
Segment income (loss) from operations:                    
Zedge Marketplace  $1,197   $1,850   $4,532   $4,785 
GuruShots   (1,329)   (10,262)   (16,272)   (11,940)
Total loss from operations  $(132)  $(8,412)  $(11,740)  $(7,155)

 

The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset information and, accordingly, the Company does not report asset information by segment.

 

Geographic Information

 

Net long-lived assets and total assets held outside of the United States, which are located primarily in Israel and Norway, were as follows (in thousands):

 

   United States   Foreign   Total 
Long-lived assets, net:            
April 30, 2024  $6,636   $1,585   $8,221 
July 31, 2023  $7,054   $14,346   $21,400 
                
Total assets:               
April 30, 2024  $31,497   $6,642   $38,139 
July 31, 2023  $33,401   $13,430   $46,831 

 

Note 12— Operating Leases

 

The Company has operating leases primarily for office space. Operating lease right-of-use assets recorded and included in other assets were $243,000 and $360,000 at April 30, 2024 and July 31, 2023, respectively.

 

There were no material changes in the Company’s operating and finance leases in the nine months ended April 30, 2024, as compared to the disclosure regarding such leases in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

 

Note 13—Income Taxes

 

The Company’s tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods has generally been determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date income and records the discrete tax items in the period to which they relate. In each quarter, the Company updates the estimated annual effective tax rate and makes a year-to-date adjustment to the tax provision as necessary.

 

The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to certain items primarily related to stock-based compensation expense, jurisdictional mix of earnings, foreign derived intangible income deduction, global intangible low-taxed income and the change in basis differences associated with tax deductible goodwill.

 

As of April 30, 2024, the Company had $6.3 million of deferred tax assets, for which it has established a valuation allowance of $1.8 million, related to U.S. federal and state taxes and for a certain international subsidiary. In connection with the impairment charge of intangible assets of $11.9 million recorded in the nine months period ended April 30, 2024, we recognized $2.6 million in deferred tax assets.

 

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions. Earnings from non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax. The material jurisdictions where the Company is subject to potential examination by tax authorities include the United States, Norway, Lithuania and Israel.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the associated notes thereto of this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

As used below, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “the Company,” “Zedge,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Zedge, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its subsidiaries, GuruShots Ltd., Zedge Europe AS and Zedge Lithuania UAB, collectively.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements that contain the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” and similar words and phrases. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) economic, geopolitical and market conditions can adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability, which in turn could adversely affect our stock price; (2) our ability to successfully make acquisitions and/or successfully integrate acquisitions that we have made into Zedge without incurring unanticipated costs or without being subject to other integration issues that may disrupt our existing operations; (3) delay or failure to realize the expected synergies and benefits of the GuruShots acquisition; (4) the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our employees, customers, partners, and the global financial markets; (5) Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the international community’s response; and (6) recent attack by Hamas and other terrorist organizations from the Gaza Strip and Israel’s war against them. For further information regarding risks and uncertainties associated with our business, please refer to Item 1A to Part I “Risk Factors” in the 2023 Form 10-K. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this report and we assume no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Investors should consult all of the information set forth in this report and the other information set forth from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the 2023 Form 10-K.

 

Geo-Political and Macroeconomic Conditions and the COVID-19 Pandemic

 

We are subject to risks and uncertainties caused by events with significant macroeconomic impacts, including but not limited to, rising interest rates, actions taken to counter inflation, reduced consumer confidence, supply side disruptions, the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war. The future and full impact that these factors may have on our business, financial condition, and results of operations is unclear. The risks related to our business are further described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those discussed under Item 1A to Part I “Risk Factors” in the 2023 Form 10-K.

 

Impact of Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine

 

We are closely monitoring the current and potential impact on our business, our people, and our users/customers as Russia’s war with Ukraine evolves. We have taken steps to comply with applicable domestic and international regulatory restrictions on international trade and financial transactions. Revenues associated with our users/customers in Russia and Belarus are not material to our consolidated financial results, and we anticipate that blocking Russian and Belarus users/customers’ access to our mobile app and web platforms will not have a material impact on our business. Management and our Board of Directors are monitoring the regional and global ramifications of the continuing events.

 

18

 

 

Impact of Israel-Hamas War

 

Given our operations in Israel, the impact of economic, political, geopolitical, and military conditions in the region directly affects us, including conflicts involving missile strikes, infiltrations, and terrorism. Notably, on October 7, 2023, Hamas launched attacks in southern Israel, resulting in casualties and military engagement. In addition, Hezbollah, another terrorist organization based in Lebanon has been indiscriminately shelling Israel. The extent and duration of this conflict remain uncertain, potentially involving other groups. Israel’s response led to the mobilization of reservists, affecting our workforce. Prior to this, proposed changes to Israel’s judicial system had already raised concerns about the business environment, compounded by recent events, potentially impacting foreign investment, currency fluctuations, credit ratings, interest rates, and security markets. Furthermore, regional political unrest and threats from extremist groups, notably Iran, pose additional risks. Management and our Board of Directors are closely monitoring the situation in Israel to address potential business disruptions and implications and cannot reasonably estimate the impact to the consolidated financial statements at this time.

 

COVID-19 Update

 

Although the World Health Organization declared in early May of 2023 that COVID-19 no longer constitutes a public health emergency we continue to actively monitor the COVID-19 developments and potential impact on our employees, business and operations. The effects of COVID-19 did not have a material impact on our result of operations or financial condition for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023. However, given the evolution of the COVID-19 situation, and the global responses to curb its spread, we are not able to estimate the effects COVID-19 may have on our future results of operations or financial condition.

 

Overview

 

Zedge, Inc. (“Zedge”) builds digital marketplaces and friendly competitive games around content that people use to express themselves. Our leading products include Zedge Ringtones and Wallpapers, which we refer to as our Zedge App, a freemium digital content marketplace offering mobile phone wallpapers, video wallpapers, ringtones, and notification sounds as well as pAInt, a generative AI wallpaper maker, GuruShots, a skill-based photo challenge game, and Emojipedia, the #1 trusted source for ‘all things emoji’. Our vision is to enable and connect creators who enjoy friendly competitions with a community of prospective consumers in order to drive commerce.

 

We are part of the ‘Creator Economy,’ where over 1 billion people create and share their content across social platforms, mobile, and video games, and content marketplaces. Goldman Sachs Research expects the 50 million global creators to grow at a 10-20% compound annual growth rate during the next five years. Furthermore, Goldman Sachs reports that professional creators earn more than $100,000 per year. We view the Creator Economy as an opportunity for Zedge to expand its business, especially as we execute by connecting our gamers with our marketplace.

 

The Zedge Ringtones and Wallpapers app (which is named “Zedge Wallpapers” in the App Store), which we refer to as our “Zedge App,” offers a wide array of mobile personalization content including wallpapers, video wallpapers, ringtones, and notification sounds, and is available both in Google Play and the App Store. As of April 30, 2024, our Zedge App had been installed nearly 661 million times since inception and had 27.7 million monthly active users (“MAU”). MAU is a key performance indicator (“KPI”) that captures the number of unique users that used our Zedge App during the final 30 days of the relevant period. Our platform allows creators to upload content to our marketplace and avail it to our users either for free or for a price, via ‘Zedge Premium,’ the section of our marketplace where we offer premium content (i.e., for purchase). In turn, our users utilize the content to personalize their phones and express their individuality.

 

In fiscal 2023, we introduced pAInt, a generative AI wallpaper maker in the Zedge App. A generative AI wallpaper maker is an implementation of artificial intelligence software that can create images from text descriptions. To interface with a generative AI image maker, a user enters a text description of the image they want to create, and the software generates an image based on that description. In addition, we upgraded Zedge+, our paid subscription offering, by bundling together an ad-free experience with value adds making the offering more compelling.

 

We often refer to our freemium ringtones and wallpapers, our subscription offering, the functionality for creators to market their products and ancillary offering and features both in our Zedge App and website, as our Zedge Marketplace. 

 

The Zedge Marketplace monetization stack consists of advertising revenue generated when users view advertisements when using the Zedge App (and the related functionality under the zedge.net website), the in-app sale of Zedge Credits, our virtual currency, that is used to purchase Zedge Premium content, and a paid-subscription offering that provides an ad-free experience to users that purchase a weekly, monthly, annual or lifetime subscription. In April 2023, we introduced a subscription tier in the iOS version of the Zedge App. As of April 30, 2024, we had approximately 654,000 active subscribers.

In April 2022, we acquired GuruShots, a recognized category leader focused on gamifying the photography vertical. GuruShots offers a platform spanning iOS, Android, and the web that provides a fun, educational and structured way for amateur photographers to compete in a wide variety of contests showcasing their photos while gaining recognition with votes, badges, and awards. We estimate that the total addressable market of amateur photographers using their smartphones to take and publicly share artistic photos is 30-40 million people per month and that the market is still in its infancy. Every month, GuruShots stages more than 300 competitions that result in players uploading approximately 600,000 photographs and casting close to 3 billion “perceived votes, which are calculated by multiplying the number of votes that each player casts by a weighting factor based on various factors related to that user. To improve engagement, GuruShots has adopted a set of retention dynamics focused on individual, team and community dynamics that create a sense of belonging, inspiration, recognition, improvement, and competition.

 

Today, GuruShots utilizes a ‘Free-to-Play’ business model that leads to strong monetization with the purchase of resources that are used to give paying players an edge while still maintaining a fair and competitive experience for all participants.

 

As we look to the future, we are advancing several initiatives that we expect will drive user growth, increase engagement, drive in-app purchases, and advance our in-game economy. Some of these include:

 

New Gameplay Experiences. Introducing a new more casual gameplay experience that enables users to compete in short-duration photo competitions with fewer participants.

 

On-Boarding. Revamping the customer onboarding experience in order to increase the number of newly acquired users who get through onboarding and to maximize first time purchasers by providing a more guided onboarding process and immediately drawing new players into simplified photo competitions that are limited in duration and number of participants.

 

Economy. Evolving the game economy by introducing hard and soft currencies tied to resources and rewards and maturing the game’s progression mechanics and features, and earn and spend dynamics.

 

We market GuruShots to prospective players, primarily via paid user acquisition channels, and utilize a host of creative formats including static and video ads in order to promote the game. Our marketing team invests material resources in analyzing all attributes of a campaign ranging from the creative assets, offer acquisition channel, and platform (i.e., iOS, Android, and web), just to name a few, with the goal of determining whether a specific campaign is likely to yield a profitable customer. When we unearth a successful combination of these variables we scale up until we experience diminishing returns. Ultimately, we believe that the efforts we are making to advance the product coupled with the investment in user acquisition can significantly increase GuruShots’ player base.

 

Beyond our commitment to growing both the Zedge App and GuruShots on a standalone basis, we believe that there are many potential synergies that we can capitalize on that exist between the two businesses. Specifically, we plan to enable the ability for GuruShots players to become Zedge Premium artists and sell their photos to our audience of 27+ million MAU (as of April 30, 2024) as standard digital images or NFTs. In addition, we look to benefit from the experience that the GuruShots team possesses and test gamifying the Zedge App. We believe that successful gamification can contribute to increasing engagement, retention, and lifetime value, all critical performance criteria for our business. Longer term, we believe that there are complementary content verticals that lend themselves to gamification. To this end, we have a new hybrid casual title, ‘AI Art Master,’ which is in soft-launch in the Philippines, Poland, and India, that enables players to create generative AI images and compete in themed-based competitions with these images. Based on analyzing user data and performing extensive user testing, we will determine whether to refine the user experience and scale or cease development of this title.

 

In August 2021, we acquired the assets of Emojipedia Pty Ltd (“Emojipedia”), including Emojipedia.org the world’s leading authority dedicated to providing up-to-date and well-researched emoji definitions, information, and news as well as World Emoji Day and the annual World Emoji Awards. In April 2024, Emojipedia received approximately 36 million monthly page views and has approximately 10.4 million MAU as of April 30, 2024 of which approximately 55.5% are located in well-developed markets. It is the top resource for all things emoji, offering insights into data and cultural trends. As a member of the Unicode Consortium, the standards body responsible for approving new emojis, Emojipedia works alongside major emoji creators including Apple, Google, Meta, and X, formally known as Twitter.

 

We believe that Emojipedia provides growth potential to the Zedge App, and it was immediately accretive to earnings post acquisition in August 2021. In the past year, we have made many changes to Emojipedia including overhauling its backend and redesigning the Emojipedia website. We will continue to enhance this offering and are exploring new features, some of which will be released before the end of the calendar year.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2023 Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management’s most subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Our critical accounting policies include those related to revenue recognition, business combination, intangible assets and goodwill, capitalized software and technology development costs, and stock-based compensation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies, see our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2023 Form 10-K.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

 

Zedge App-MAU and ARPMAU

 

The presentation of our results of operations related to our Zedge App includes disclosure of two key performance indicators – Monthly Active Users (MAU) and Average Revenue Per Monthly Active User (ARPMAU). MAU is a key performance indicator that we define as the number of unique users that used our Zedge App during the previous 30-day period, which is important to understanding the size of our active user base which is a main driver of our revenue. Changes and trends in MAU are useful for measuring the general health of our business, gauging both present and potential users/customers’ experience, assessing the efficacy of product improvements and marketing campaigns and overall user engagement.

 

ARPMAU is defined as (i) the total revenue derived from Zedge App in a monthly period, divided by (ii) MAU in that same period. ARPMAU for a particular time period longer than one month is the average ARPMAU for each month during that period. ARPMAU is valuable because it provides insight into how well we monetize our users and, changes and trends in ARPMAU are indications of how effective our monetization investments are.

 

MAU decreased 13.4% in the three ended April 30, 2024 when compared to the same period a year ago. Additionally, we have experienced a continuing shift in our regional customer make-up with MAU in emerging markets (particularly India) representing an increasing portion of our user base. As of April 30, 2024, users in emerging markets represented about 78.3% of our MAU, as compared to 77.5% from the same period a year ago. ARPMAU for the three months ended April 30, 2024 increased 39.7% when compared to the same period a year ago, primarily due to the increase in price per advertising impression from the same period a year ago, which was driven by increased competition for our ad inventory as well as strong year-over-year subscription revenue growth.

The following tables present the MAU – Zedge App and ARPMAU – Zedge App for the three months ended April 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year:

 

   Three Months Ended
April 30,
     
(in millions, except ARPMAU - Zedge App)  2024   2023   % Change 
MAU- Zedge App   27.7    32.0    -13.4%
Developed Markets MAU - Zedge App   6.0    7.2    -16.7%
Emerging Markets MAU - Zedge App   21.7    24.8    -12.5%
Emerging Markets MAU - Zedge App/Total MAU - Zedge App   78.3%   77.5%   1.1%
                
ARPMAU - Zedge App  $0.0742   $0.0531    39.7%

 

The following charts present the MAU – Zedge App and ARPMAU – Zedge App for the consecutive eight fiscal quarters ended April 30, 2024:

 

 

GuruShots-MAPs and ARPMAP

 

The presentation of our results of operations related to our GuruShots segment includes disclosure of two key performance indicators as discussed below:

 

Monthly Active Payers (“MAPs”). We define a MAP as a unique active user on the GuruShots app or GuruShots.com in a month who completed at least one in-app purchase (“IAP”) during that time period. MAPs for a time period longer than one month are the average MAPs for each month during that period. We estimate the number of MAPs by aggregating certain data from third-party attribution platforms. MAP is a key performance indicator because it shows the size of GuruShots’ active paying user base which is a main driver of GuruShots’ revenue. Changes and trends in MAP are useful for measuring the general health of GuruShots’ business, gauging both present and potential users/customers’ experience, assessing the efficacy of product improvements and marketing campaigns and overall user engagement.

 

Average Revenue Per Monthly Active Payer (“ARPMAP”). We define ARPMAP as (i) the total revenue from IAPs derived from GuruShots and GuruShots.com in a monthly period, divided by (ii) MAPs in that same period. ARPMAP for a particular time period longer than one month is the average ARPMAP for each month during that period. ARPMAP shows how efficiently we are monetizing each MAP.

 

MAP decreased 20.7% in the three months ended April 30, 2024 when compared to the same period a year ago, primarily attributable to Apple’s App Tracking Transparence (“ATT”) framework which impedes our ability to invest in paid user acquisition (“PUA”) campaigns profitably in terms of return on ad spend or (“ROAS”). As such, we continued to scale back our PUA spend for GuruShots while testing new campaigns and creatives in order to unearth attractive ROAS scaling opportunities. ARPMAP decreased 0.4% to $53.0 in the three months ended April 30, 2024 from $53.2 in the three months ended April 30, 2023.

Our KPIs related to GuruShots are not based on any standardized industry methodology and are not necessarily calculated in the same manner that other companies or third parties may use to calculate these or similarly titled measures. The numbers that we use to calculate MAP and ARPMAP are derived from data that we generate internally. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable judgments and estimates for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring usage and engagement. We regularly review and may adjust our processes for calculating our internal metrics to improve their accuracy.

The following table presents a reconciliation of subscription billings to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, for each of the periods indicated. We calculate subscription billings by adding the change in subscription deferred revenue between the start and end of the period to subscription revenue recognized in the same period. Subscription billings is a performance measure that we believe provides useful information to our management and investors as it allows us to better track the growth of the subscription-based portion of our business, which is a critical part of our business plan.

Three Months Ended April 30, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2023

 

For the three months ended April 30, 2024, our advertising revenue increased 19.4% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the increase in price per advertising impression paid by the advertisers on our platform when compared to the same period a year ago, which was driven by increased competition for our ad inventory. 

 

For the three months ended April 30, 2024, our subscription revenue increased 34.9% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the introduction of our iOS subscription offering in April 2023 and the lifetime subscriptions for Android users we rolled out in August 2023. Both initiatives contributed to the 80.3% increase in subscription billings in the three months ended April 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year.

 

For the three months ended April 30, 2024, our other revenue (primarily Zedge Premium net revenue) decreased 11.2% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the 12.6% decrease in Zedge Premium net revenue in the current year period caused by the write-down of advanced royalties paid to certain contents creators or owners. As a result of this write-down, gross margin decreased to 34% for the three months ended April 30, 2024 from 56% for the same period in the prior year.

 

For the three months ended April 30, 2024, digital goods and services revenue declined 20.3% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the 20.7% decrease in GuruShots’ MAP for the corresponding periods.

 

Nine months Ended April 30, 2024 Compared to Nine months Ended April 30, 2023

 

For the nine months ended April 30, 2024, our advertising revenue increased 16.0% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the increase in price per advertising impression paid by the advertisers on our platform when compared to the same period a year ago, which was driven by increased competition for our ad inventory. 

 

For the nine months ended April 30, 2024, our subscription revenue increased 22.6% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to our iOS subscription offering introduced in April 2023 and the lifetime subscriptions for Android users we rolled out in August 2023. Both initiatives contributed to the 65.2% increase in subscription billings in the nine months ended April 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year.

 

For the nine months ended April 30, 2024, our other revenue increased 8.9% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher Zedge Premium net revenue resulting from higher GTV. Zedge Premium net revenue increased 5.6% in the nine months ended April 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended April 30, 2024, gross margin was 44% compared to 56% for the same period in the prior year. Lower gross margin in the current period was caused by the advanced royalty write-downs discussed above.

 

For the nine months ended April 30, 2024, digital goods and services revenue declined 25.5% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the 25.3% decrease in GuruShots’ MAP for the corresponding periods.

Direct cost of revenues decreased 8.6% in the three months ended April 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the revamping of our backend infrastructure as part of the cost reduction initiatives implemented during fiscal 2023. As a percentage of revenue, direct cost of revenues in the three months ended April 30, 2024 declined to 5.9% from 7.4% for the same period in the prior year.

 

Direct cost of revenues decreased 20.6% in the nine months ended April 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year also due to the revamping of our backend infrastructure as part of the cost reduction initiatives implemented during fiscal 2023.

As a percentage of revenues   88.2%   74.6%        83.4%   81.1%     

 

SG&A expense increased 34.6% in the three months ended April 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher PUA and higher compensation expenses offset by lower discretionary spends and lower stock-based compensation expense. We ramped up PUA for our Zedge App significantly but scaled back PUA spend for GuruShots in the three months ended April 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year. We expect to continue our investment in PUA for our Zedge App in the near term provided that the ROAS remains compelling. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expense in the three months ended April 30, 2024 was 88.2% compared to 74.6% in the three months ended April 30, 2023.

 

SG&A expense increased 12.3% in the nine months ended April 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher PUA expenses offset by reductions in stock-based compensation expenses and other discretionary spends. For the nine months ended April 30, 2024 we ramped up PUA for the Zedge App significantly but scaled back PUA for GuruShots when compared to the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expense in the nine months ended April 30, 2024 was 83.4% compared to 81.1% in the nine months ended April 30, 2023.

 

Global headcount as of April 30, 2024 totaled 100 (including 29 at GuruShots) compared to 96 (including 31 at GuruShots) as of April 30, 2023 with the majority of our employees currently based in Lithuania and Israel.

Stock-based compensation expense  $482   $578    -16.6%  $1,673   $1,957    -14.5%

 

Stock-based compensation expenses decreased 16.6% in the three months ended April 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the lower compensation expense related to the DSU grants with both service and market conditions which are recognized based on the graded vesting method. Certain stock options, deferred stock unit and restricted stock grants are more fully described in Note 7 Stock-Based Compensation to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

General

 

At April 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $19.9 million and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $17.1 million, compared to $18.1 million and $15.8 million, respectively, at July 31, 2023. We expect that our cash and cash equivalents on hand and our cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the twelve-month period ending June 10, 2025. We paid off a $2 million term loan in November 2023 and maintain a revolving credit facility of $4 million, including a foreign exchange contract facility of up to $7.5 million with WAB, as discussed below under Financing Activities and in Note 10, Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Operating Activities

 

Our cash flow from operations varies significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year, depending on our operating results and the timing of operating cash receipts and payments, specifically trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable. Cash provided by operating activities increased $2.4 million in the nine months ended April 30, 2024 to $5.1 million from $2.7 million in the same period in the prior year, primarily attributable to higher income from operations before accounting for the acquisition related charges and changes in assets and liabilities.

 

Changes in Trade Accounts Receivable

 

Gross trade accounts receivable increased $0.4 million to $3.3 million at April 30, 2024 from $2.9 million at July 31, 2023, primarily due to higher revenue in the preceding two months ended April 30, 2024 when compared to the same period ended July 31, 2023.

 

Investing Activities

 

On August 1, 2021, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Emojipedia Pty Ltd for approximately $6.7 million. We made the final payment of about $1.0 million on August 1, 2022.

 

Cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023 also consisted of capitalized software and technology development costs related to various projects that we invested in specific to the various platforms on which we operate our service.

 

Financing Activities

 

On October 28, 2022, we entered into an Amended Loan Agreement with WAB. Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, WAB agreed to provide the Company with a new term loan facility in the maximum principal amount of $7 million for a four-year term and a $4 million revolving credit facility for a two-year term. In conjunction with the closing of the credit facilities, $2 million was advanced in a single-cash advance on the same day, with the remaining $5 million available for drawdown during twenty-four (24) months after closing. Each drawdown must be in an amount of not less than $1 million.

 

In connection with the Amended Loan Agreement, we discontinued the existing $2 million revolving credit facility under the then existing Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2016. At the time of the discontinuance, there was no outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility.

On May 11, 2023, we agreed to reduce the maximum principal amount from $7 million to $2 million, please see Note 10, Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

On November 15, 2023, the Company voluntarily prepaid the entire principal amount of $2 million in accordance with the terms of the Amended Loan Agreement without incurring any prepayment penalty.

 

In the nine months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, we purchased 6,328 shares and 6,310 shares, respectively of our Class B common stock from certain employees for $13,000 and $17,000 respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of DSUs.

 

In the nine months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, we repurchased in connection with the share repurchase program 60,206 shares and 680,594 shares respectively of our Class B common stock for $152,000 and $1.4 million respectively.

 

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock until we achieve sustainable profitability and retain certain minimum cash reserves. The payment of dividends in any specific period will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

 

Historically, we have had very little or no bad debt, which is common with other platforms of our size that derive their revenue from mobile advertising, as we aggressively manage our collections and perform due diligence on our customers. In addition, the majority of our revenue is derived from large, credit-worthy customers, e.g. Google, Facebook, Vungle and AppLovin, and we terminate our services with smaller customers immediately upon balances becoming past due. Since these smaller customers rely on us to derive their own revenue, they generally pay their outstanding balances on a timely basis.

 

In the nine months ended April 30, 2024, two customers represented 31% and 10% of our revenue. In the nine months ended April 30, 2023, three customers represented 29%, 19% and 13% of our revenue. At April 30, 2024, two customers represented 36% and 19% of our accounts receivable balance. At July 31, 2023, two customers represented 36% and 18% of our accounts receivable balance. All of these significant customers were advertising exchanges operated by leading companies, and the receivables represent many smaller amounts due from their advertisers.

In October 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program of up to 1.5 million shares of our Class B common stock at a maximum aggregate purchase price of $3.0 million. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors.

We may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our Class B common stock, has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at our discretion.

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business

 

Zedge, Inc. builds digital marketplaces and friendly competitive games around content that people use to express themselves. Our leading products include Zedge Ringtones and Wallpapers, which we refer to as our Zedge App, a freemium digital content marketplace offering mobile phone wallpapers, video wallpapers, ringtones, and notification sounds as well as pAInt, a generative AI wallpaper maker, GuruShots, a skill-based photo challenge game, and Emojipedia, the #1 trusted source for ‘all things emoji’. Our vision is to enable and connect creators who enjoy friendly competitions with a community of prospective consumers in order to drive commerce. Except where the context clearly indicates otherwise, the terms the “Company,” “Zedge” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Zedge, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Zedge, Inc. and its subsidiaries: GuruShots Ltd. (“GuruShots”); Zedge Europe AS; and Zedge Lithuania UAB (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024 or any other period. The balance sheet at July 31, 2023 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

The Company’s fiscal year ends on July 31 of each calendar year. Each reference below to a fiscal year refers to the fiscal year ending in the calendar year indicated (e.g., fiscal 2023 refers to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023).

 

Reportable Segments

 

Effective August 1, 2022, we revised the presentation of segment information to reflect our acquisition of GuruShots. As such, we now report operating results through two reportable segments: Zedge Marketplace and GuruShots, as further discussed in Note 11, Segment and Geographic Information.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from the Company’s estimates due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the economic environment due to various global events. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s financial condition or operating results will be affected. The Company bases its estimates on past experience and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, and the Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The guidance in ASU 2023-07 seeks to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose the following: significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition; and the title and position of the CODM and how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This ASU requires public entities to provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods. ASU 2023-07 clarifies that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-07 is a requirement for additional disclosure and is not expected to materially impact the consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance in this ASU enhances the transparency and decision functionality of income tax disclosures to provide investors information to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks, tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flow. The amendments in this ASU require public entities to disclose the following specific categories in the rate reconciliation by both percentages and reporting currency amounts: the effect of state and local income tax, net of federal (national) income tax, foreign tax effects, effects of changes in tax laws or rates enacted in the current period, effects of cross-border tax laws, tax credits, changes in valuation allowances, nontaxable or nondeductible items and changes in unrecognized tax benefits. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 also require public entities to provide additional information for reconciling items that meet the qualitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pre-tax income (loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The ASU requires reporting entities to annually disclose the year-to-date amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state and foreign localities. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis and retrospective application is permitted. For public business entities, ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements not yet issued. ASU 2023-09 is a requirement for additional disclosure and is not expected to materially impact the consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards, which provides illustrative guidance to help entities determine whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for as share-based payment arrangements within the scope of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. For public business entities, ASU 2024-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements not yet issued. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard, but do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements, which removes references to various FASB Concepts Statements. Note that this ASU finalizes amendments proposed in Section A of Proposed ASU No. 2019-800, Codification Improvements, issued in November 2019. For public business entities, ASU 2024-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements not yet issued. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard, but do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

The Company was formerly a majority-owned subsidiary of IDT Corporation (“IDT”). On June 1, 2016, IDT’s interest in the Company was spun-off by IDT to IDT’s stockholders and the Company became an independent public-held company. IDT charges the Company for services it provides, and the Company charges IDT for services it provides, pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”).

 

The Company is party to a consulting agreement with Activist Artist Management, LLC (“Activist”), which assists the Company in strategic business development. A member of the Company’s Board of Directors owns a significant minority stake in Activist.

 

Transactions with these related parties did not have a material impact to the consolidated balance sheets as of April 30, 2024 or July 31, 2023, or the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023.

Total revenue   $7,658   $6,726   $22,510   $20,609 

 

Contract Balances

 

The Company enters into contracts with its customers, which may give rise to contract liabilities (deferred revenue) and contract assets (unbilled revenue). The payment terms and conditions within the Company’s contracts vary by products or services purchased, substantially all of which are due in less than one year. When the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of payments made by customers, the Company recognizes deferred revenue (when customer payment is received in advance of performance). The Company does not have unbilled revenue (when the Company’s performance precedes the billing date).

 

Deferred revenues

 

On April 1, 2022, the AppLovin Corporation paid the Company a one-time integration bonus of $2 million for migrating to their mediation platform. This amount has been amortized over an estimated service period of 24 months that ended March 31, 2024. The Company’s deferred revenue balance related to this bonus was $0 and approximately $0.7 million as of April 30, 2024 and July 31, 2023, respectively.

 

The Company records deferred revenues related to the unsatisfied performance obligations with respect to subscription revenue. The Company’s deferred revenue balance for paid subscriptions was approximately $2.4 million related to approximately 654,000 active subscribers, and approximately $1.5 million, related to approximately 647,000 active subscribers, as of April 30, 2024 and July 31, 2023, respectively.

 

The Company also records deferred revenues when users purchase or earn Zedge Credits. Unused Zedge Credits represent the value of the Company’s unsatisfied performance obligation to its users. Revenue is recognized when Zedge App users use Zedge Credits to acquire Zedge Premium content or upon expiration of the Zedge Credits upon 180 days of account inactivity (“Breakage”). As of April 30, 2024, and July 31, 2023, the Company’s deferred revenue balance related to Zedge Premium was approximately $258,000 and $255,000, respectively.

 

The amount of deferred revenue recognized in the nine months ended April 30, 2024 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at July 31, 2023 was $2.1 million.

 

Significant Judgments

 

The advertising networks and advertising exchanges to which the Company sells its inventory track and report the impressions and revenues to Zedge and Zedge recognizes revenues based on these reports. The networks and exchanges base their payments off of those reports and Zedge independently compares the data to each of the client sites to validate the imported data and identify any differences. The number of impressions and revenues delivered by the advertising networks and advertising exchanges is determined at the end of each month, which resolves any uncertainty in the transaction price during the reporting period.

 

Practical Expedients

 

The Company expenses the fees retained by Google Play and the App Store related to subscription revenue when incurred as marketing expense because the duration of the contracts for which the Company pays commissions are less than one year, except for the new lifetime subscriptions we rolled out in August 2023. These costs are included in the selling, general and administrative expenses of the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

(1) – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

(2) – observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

(3) – no observable pricing inputs in the market

 

Contingent Consideration

 

Contingent consideration related to business combinations are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the determination of fair value uses considerable judgement and represents the Company’s best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a market exchange for the asset or liability.

 

The following table provides a rollforward of the contingent consideration related to our acquisition of GuruShots (in thousands):

 

Balance at July 31, 2022  $1,943 
Change in fair value   (1,943)
Balance at April 30, 2023  $0 

 

The overall fair value of the contingent consideration decreased by $1,943,000 during the nine months ended April 30, 2023, due primarily to the decrease in the likelihood that certain contingent milestones would be achieved.

 

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

 

Fair value of the outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts are marked to market price at the end of each measurement period.

 

The Company’s other financial instruments at April 30, 2024 and July 31, 2023 included trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable. The carrying amounts of other assets and liabilities such as prepaid expenses, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable approximated fair value due to their short-term nature.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments [Abstract]  
Derivative Instruments

Note 4—Derivative Instruments

 

The primary risk managed by the Company using derivative instruments is foreign exchange risk. Foreign exchange forward contracts are entered into as hedges against unfavorable fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar (USD) to Norwegian Kroner (NOK) and USD to Euro (EUR) exchange rates. The Company is party to a Foreign Exchange Agreement with Western Alliance Bank (“WAB”) allowing the Company to enter into foreign exchange contracts under its revolving credit facility with the bank (see Note 10 Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility). The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these contracts, and therefore the changes in fair value are recorded in unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. By using derivative instruments to mitigate exposures to changes in foreign exchange rates, the Company is exposed to credit risk from the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the contract. The credit or repayment risk is minimized by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.

 

The outstanding contracts at April 30, 2024, were as follows:

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Note 5—Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

Intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value and stated net of accumulated amortization and impairments. The Company amortizes its intangible assets that have finite lives using either the straight-line method, or if reliably determinable, based on the pattern in which the economic benefit of the asset is expected to be utilized. Amortization is recorded over the estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 15 years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its definite lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances or business conditions indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable based on expectations of future undiscounted cash flows for each asset group. If the carrying value of an asset or asset group exceeds its undiscounted cash flows, the Company estimates the fair value of the assets, generally utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis based on the present value of after-tax cash flows to be generated by the assets using a risk-adjusted discount rate. To estimate the fair value of the assets, the Company uses market participant assumptions pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, in connection with its company-wide strategic planning process as well as evaluating the current operating performance of its GuruShots reporting unit, including product enhancement and marketing, the Company reassessed its short-term and long-term commercial plans for this business. The Company made certain operational and strategic decisions to invest in, and increase its focus on, the long-term success of this business, which resulted in the Company significantly reducing its forecasted revenues and operating results.

 

As a result, the Company identified indicators of impairment and performed an undiscounted cash flow analysis pursuant to ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall, to determine if the cash flows expected to be generated by the GuruShots business over the estimated remaining useful life of its primary assets were sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset group. Based on this analysis, the undiscounted cash flows were not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the long-lived assets. As a result, the Company was required to perform Step 3 of the impairment test and determine the fair value of the asset group. To estimate the fair value of the asset group, the Company utilized the income approach, which is based on a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis and calculates the fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to the asset group and then discounting the after-tax cash flows to present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Assumptions used in the DCF require significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates, growth rates, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The forecasted cash flows were based on the Company’s most recent strategic plan and for periods beyond the strategic plan, the Company’s estimates were based on assumed growth rates expected as of the measurement date. The Company believes its assumptions were consistent with the plans and estimates that a market participant would use to manage the business. The discount rate used was intended to reflect the risks inherent in future cash flow projections and was based on an estimate of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of market participants relative to the asset group. The Company used a discount rate of 30.5%. Based on this analysis, the fair value of the GuruShots asset group was below its carrying value. The Company determined that the fair value of this asset group was approximately zero and the carrying value of the long-lived assets was fully impaired.

 

To record the adjustment of the carrying value of the asset group to fair value, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $11.9 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The impairment charge was allocated to the long-lived assets on a pro-rata basis as follows: $2.5 million to acquired developed technology, $6.4 million to customer relationships, and $3.0 million to trade names. The Company believes its assumptions used to determine the fair value of the asset group were reasonable.

 

The following table presents the detail of intangible assets, net as of April 30, 2024 and July 31, 2023 (in thousands):

The Company’s amortization expense for intangible assets were $1.3 million and $1.7 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. The Company reviews goodwill yearly, or more frequently whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered, for impairment by initially considering qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill, as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative analysis. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative analysis is performed to identify goodwill impairment. Conversely, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is more than its carrying amount, it is unnecessary to perform a quantitative analysis. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing a quantitative analysis.

 

The Company has two reporting units and assesses impairment based upon qualitative factors and if necessary, quantitative factors. A reporting unit’s fair value is determined using the income approach and discounted cash flow models by utilizing Level 3 inputs and assumptions such as future cash flows, discount rates, long-term growth rates, market value and income tax considerations. Specifically, the value of each reporting unit is determined on a stand-alone basis from the perspective of a market participant and represents the price estimated to be received in a sale of the reporting unit in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company then reconciles the values of all reporting units to the market capitalization of the Company.

 

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment tests on May 1 each year (the first day of fiscal 4th quarter) based on information available as of April 30 in accordance with ASC 350-20-35-28. In light of a significant and sustained decline in the Company’s Class B common stock price during the six months ended January 31, 2023, circumstances became evident that a possible goodwill impairment existed since the last annual impairment test on May 1, 2022. The Company performed an interim impairment test during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and concluded that the carrying value of the GuruShots reporting unit exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $8.7 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

 

The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands).

Note 7—Stock-Based Compensation

 

2016 Incentive Plan

 

On March 23, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the Company’s 2016 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (as amended to date, the “2016 Incentive Plan”) to increase the number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock available for the grant of awards thereunder by an additional 685,000 shares to an aggregate of 2,531,000 shares, including 626,000 shares for the retention pool for GuruShots employees established under the agreement related to that acquisition. This amendment was ratified by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on January 18, 2023.

 

At April 30, 2024, there were 347,000 shares of Class B common stock available for awards under the 2016 Incentive Plan before accounting for 204,000 contingently issuable shares related to deferred stock units (“DSUs”) with both service and market conditions.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation for stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock and DSUs based on the estimated fair value of the awards and recognized over the relevant service period and/or market conditions. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company estimates the fair value of the restricted stock and DSU’s with service conditions only using the current market price of the stock. The Company estimates the fair value of the DSU’s with both service and market conditions using the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model.

 

The Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo Simulation valuation models incorporate assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options or awards, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to options and restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally 4 years for options and 3 years for restricted stock units.

 

In our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for our employees and non-employees as follows (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended April 30,   Nine Months Ended April 30, 
   2024   2023   2024   2023 
Stock-based compensation expense  $482   $578   $1,673   $1,957 

 

As of April 30, 2024, the Company’s unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was $227,000 for unvested stock options, $184,000 for unvested DSUs and $1.4 million for unvested restricted stock including the $4 million portion of the GuruShots retention bonus pool to be paid in the Company’s Class B common stock.

 

In the nine months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, awards of restricted stock and DSUs with respect to 246,000 shares and 267,000 shares, respectively, vested, and in connection with these vesting events, the Company purchased 6,328 shares and 6,310 shares respectively, of our Class B common stock from certain employees for $13,000 and $17,000, respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

 

Restricted Stock Awards

 

In November 2023, the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors approved a grant of 116,208 restricted shares of our Class B common stock to our Executive Chairman Michael Jonas. Mr. Jonas agreed to accept all of his base compensation for his service as Executive Chairman during fiscal 2024 in the form of equity in the Company. These shares shall vest in equal amounts on February 7, 2025, 2026 and 2027. These shares had an aggregate grant date fair value of $380,000 which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

 

Repricing of Outstanding and Unexercised Options

 

On October 20, 2022, the Board unanimously approved the repricing of all then outstanding and unexercised stock options granted under the 2016 Incentive Plan with exercise prices above the then current market value held by then current employees, executive officers, and consultants of the Company (the “Eligible Stock Options”). Effective October 20, 2022, the exercise price of the eligible stock options was reduced to $2.27, the closing price of its common stock on October 19, 2022. Except for the modification to the exercise price of the Eligible Stock Options, all other terms and conditions of each of the Eligible Stock Options remained in full force and effect.

 

Pursuant to the 2016 Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, as the administrator of the plan, has discretionary authority, exercisable on such terms and conditions that it deems appropriate under the circumstances, to reduce the exercise price in effect for outstanding options under the 2016 Incentive Plan. In approving the repricing, the Compensation Committee considered the impact of the current exercise prices of outstanding stock options on the incentives provided to employees and consultants, the lack of retention value provided by the outstanding stock options to employees and consultants, and the impact of such options on the capital structure of the Company. As of October 20, 2022, there were 532,750 stock options outstanding under the 2016 Incentive Plan, of which 191,663 outstanding stock options had exercise prices in excess of the market price of the Company’s common stock as of October 20, 2022, which is why the Compensation Committee made the determination to deem all outstanding and unexercised stock options held by current employees, executive officers, and consultants as Eligible Stock Options.

 

Jonathan Reich, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Yi Tsai, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, held Eligible Stock Options exercisable for an aggregate of 64,898 and 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, which options were repriced.

 

The option repricing resulted in incremental stock-based compensation of $87,000, of which $39,000 was recorded as expense in the three months ended January 31, 2023, and $48,000 will be recognized as expense over the requisite service periods over which the Eligible Stock Options vest.

Earnings Per Share

Note 8—Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to all classes of common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share, except that the number of shares is increased to include restricted stock still subject to risk of forfeiture, issuances to be made on the vesting of unvested DSUs and the exercise of potentially dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increase is anti-dilutive.

 

The rights of holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical except for certain voting and conversion rights and restrictions on transferability. As such, the Company is not required to break out earnings per share by class.

 

The weighted-average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders consists of the following (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   April 30,   April 30, 
   2024   2023   2024   2023 
Basic weighted-average number of shares   14,191    14,017    14,077    14,221 
Effect of dilutive securities:                    
Stock options   349    -

Non-vested restricted Class B common stock   1    -

-
    - 
Diluted weighted-average number of shares   14,542    14,017    14,077    14,221 

 

The following shares were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share computations because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   April 30,   April 30, 
   2024   2023   2024   2023

Non-vested restricted Class B common stock   181    426    216    426 
Deferred stock units   201    237    203    237 
Shares excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share   508    1,518    1,280    1,494 

 

For the nine months ended April 30, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, the diluted earnings per share equals basic earnings per share because the Company incurred a net loss during those periods and the impact of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock and DSUs would have been anti-dilutive.

Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility

Note 10—Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility

 

As of September 27, 2016, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with WAB for a revolving credit facility of up to $2.5 million for an initial two-year term which was extended twice for another two-year term which expired September 26, 2022 and was amended on October 28, 2022 as discussed below. The revolving credit facility was secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets. Effective with the September 2020 extension, the outstanding principal amount bore interest per annum at the greater of 3.5% or the prime rate plus 1.25%. Interest was payable monthly and all outstanding principal and any accrued and unpaid interest was due on the maturity date of September 26, 2022. The Company was required to pay an annual facility fee of $10,000 to WAB. The Company was also required to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants and to maintain certain financial ratios during the term of the revolving credit facility. The covenants included a prohibition on the Company paying any dividend on its capital stock.

 

On October 28, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (“Amended Loan Agreement”) with WAB. Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, WAB agreed to provide the Company with a new term loan facility in the maximum principal amount of $7 million for a four-year term and a $4 million revolving credit facility for a two-year term expiring October 28, 2024. Amounts outstanding under the term loan and credit facility of the Amended Loan Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 0.5%, with a Prime “floor” rate of 4.00%.

 

Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company discontinued the then existing $2 million revolving credit facility under the prior version of the Loan and Security Agreement. At the time of the discontinuance, there was no outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility.

 

Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, $2 million was advanced in a single-cash advance on October 28, 2022, with the remaining $5 million available for drawdown during twenty-four (24) months after closing. Each drawdown must be in an amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). On May 11, 2023, the Company entered into a Modification Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to modify the Amended Loan Agreement to reduce the remaining $5 million availability to $0.

 

Interest accrued under the Amended Loan Agreement is due monthly, and the Company shall make monthly interest-only payments related to the term loan through the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the closing date. From the nineteen (19) month anniversary of the Closing Date through the maturity date, the Company shall repay each outstanding term loan by paying the Applicable Term Advance Amortization Payment equal to 1/12th of 10% of the outstanding term loan balance plus monthly payments of accrued interest, in each case payable on the tenth (10th) day of each month. Zedge’s final payment for each Term Advance, due on the Term Loan Maturity Date, shall include all outstanding principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on such Term Advance. Once repaid, a Term Advance may not be reborrowed.

 

On November 15, 2023, the Company elected to prepay the entire principal amount of $2 million.

 

The Amended Loan Agreement may also require early repayments if certain conditions are met. Borrowings under the Amended Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, its subsidiaries, and certain of its affiliates.

 

The Amended Loan Agreement includes the following financial covenants:

 

  a) Debt Service Coverage Ratio. Zedge shall maintain, at all times, a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of no less than 1.25 to 1.00. This covenant shall be tested quarterly as of the end of each fiscal quarter.

  

  b) Maximum Debt to EBITDA. Zedge shall maintain, at all times, a ratio of (a) indebtedness owed by Zedge to WAB, to (b) Zedge’s EBITDA for the trailing twelve (12) month period ended on such date of determination, shall not be greater than the amount set forth under the heading “Maximum Debt to EBITDA Ratio” as of, and for each of the dates appearing adjacent to such Maximum Debt to EBITDA Ratio”.

 

Maximum Debt to Quarter Ending   EBITDA Ratio
October 31, 2022   1.75 to 1.00
January 31, 2023   1.75 to 1.00
April 30, 2023   1.75 to 1.00

July 31, 2024   1.25 to 1.00
Thereafter   To be agreed upon

 

The Amended Loan Agreement also includes customary negative covenants, subject to exceptions, which limit transfers, capital expenditures, indebtedness, certain liens, investments, acquisitions, dispositions of assets, restricted payments and the business activities of the Company, as well as customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, including cross defaults and a change of control default.

 

As of November 16, 2016, the Company entered into a Foreign Exchange Agreement with WAB to allow the Company to enter into foreign exchange contracts not to exceed $5.0 million in the aggregate at any point in time under its revolving credit facility. This limit was raised to approximately $7.5 million pursuant to the Loan and Security Modification Agreement dated May 30, 2018. The available borrowing under the revolving credit facility is reduced by an applicable foreign exchange reserve percentage as determined by WAB, in its reasonable discretion from time to time, which was set at 10% of the nominal amount of the foreign exchange contracts in effect at the relevant time. At April 30, 2024, there were $3.3 million of outstanding foreign exchange contracts, which reduced the available borrowing under the revolving credit facility by $330,000.

Segment Information

 

Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer as of April 30, 2024.

 

Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company revised the presentation of segment information to align with changes to how the Company’s CODM manages the business, allocates resources and assesses operating performance reports operating results based on two reportable segments, which are the Zedge Marketplace and GuruShots.

 

The CODM evaluates the performance of each operating segment using revenue and income (loss) from operations. The following table provides information about the Company’s two reportable segments (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended April 30,   Nine Months Ended April 30, 
   2024   2023   2024   2023 
Revenues:                
Zedge Marketplace  $6,789   $5,636   $19,778   $16,941 
GuruShots   869    1,090    2,732    3,668 
Total Revenues   $7,658   $6,726   $22,510   $20,609 
                     
Segment income (loss) from operations:                    
Zedge Marketplace  $1,197   $1,850   $4,532   $4,785 
GuruShots   (1,329)   (10,262)   (16,272)   (11,940)
Total loss from operations  $(132)  $(8,412)  $(11,740)  $(7,155)

 

The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset information and, accordingly, the Company does not report asset information by segment.

Income Taxes

Note 13—Income Taxes

 

The Company’s tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods has generally been determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date income and records the discrete tax items in the period to which they relate. In each quarter, the Company updates the estimated annual effective tax rate and makes a year-to-date adjustment to the tax provision as necessary.

 

The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to certain items primarily related to stock-based compensation expense, jurisdictional mix of earnings, foreign derived intangible income deduction, global intangible low-taxed income and the change in basis differences associated with tax deductible goodwill.

 

As of April 30, 2024, the Company had $6.3 million of deferred tax assets, for which it has established a valuation allowance of $1.8 million, related to U.S. federal and state taxes and for a certain international subsidiary. In connection with the impairment charge of intangible assets of $11.9 million recorded in the nine months period ended April 30, 2024, we recognized $2.6 million in deferred tax assets.

 

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions. Earnings from non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax. The material jurisdictions where the Company is subject to potential examination by tax authorities include the United States, Norway, Lithuania and Israel.

Description of Business

Description of Business

Zedge, Inc. builds digital marketplaces and friendly competitive games around content that people use to express themselves. Our leading products include Zedge Ringtones and Wallpapers, which we refer to as our Zedge App, a freemium digital content marketplace offering mobile phone wallpapers, video wallpapers, ringtones, and notification sounds as well as pAInt, a generative AI wallpaper maker, GuruShots, a skill-based photo challenge game, and Emojipedia, the #1 trusted source for ‘all things emoji’. Our vision is to enable and connect creators who enjoy friendly competitions with a community of prospective consumers in order to drive commerce. Except where the context clearly indicates otherwise, the terms the “Company,” “Zedge” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Zedge, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Zedge, Inc. and its subsidiaries: GuruShots Ltd. (“GuruShots”); Zedge Europe AS; and Zedge Lithuania UAB (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024 or any other period. The balance sheet at July 31, 2023 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The Company’s fiscal year ends on July 31 of each calendar year. Each reference below to a fiscal year refers to the fiscal year ending in the calendar year indicated (e.g., fiscal 2023 refers to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023).

Reportable Segments

Reportable Segments

Effective August 1, 2022, we revised the presentation of segment information to reflect our acquisition of GuruShots. As such, we now report operating results through two reportable segments: Zedge Marketplace and GuruShots, as further discussed in Note 11, Segment and Geographic Information.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from the Company’s estimates due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the economic environment due to various global events. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s financial condition or operating results will be affected. The Company bases its estimates on past experience and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, and the Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The guidance in ASU 2023-07 seeks to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose the following: significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition; and the title and position of the CODM and how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This ASU requires public entities to provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods. ASU 2023-07 clarifies that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-07 is a requirement for additional disclosure and is not expected to materially impact the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance in this ASU enhances the transparency and decision functionality of income tax disclosures to provide investors information to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks, tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flow. The amendments in this ASU require public entities to disclose the following specific categories in the rate reconciliation by both percentages and reporting currency amounts: the effect of state and local income tax, net of federal (national) income tax, foreign tax effects, effects of changes in tax laws or rates enacted in the current period, effects of cross-border tax laws, tax credits, changes in valuation allowances, nontaxable or nondeductible items and changes in unrecognized tax benefits. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 also require public entities to provide additional information for reconciling items that meet the qualitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pre-tax income (loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The ASU requires reporting entities to annually disclose the year-to-date amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state and foreign localities. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis and retrospective application is permitted. For public business entities, ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements not yet issued. ASU 2023-09 is a requirement for additional disclosure and is not expected to materially impact the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards, which provides illustrative guidance to help entities determine whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for as share-based payment arrangements within the scope of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. For public business entities, ASU 2024-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements not yet issued. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard, but do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements, which removes references to various FASB Concepts Statements. Note that this ASU finalizes amendments proposed in Section A of Proposed ASU No. 2019-800, Codification Improvements, issued in November 2019. For public business entities, ASU 2024-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements not yet issued. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard, but do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
