Executive summary
Achieved record Q2 revenue of $287.8 million, up 2% year-over-year, exceeding outlook for both revenue and adjusted EBITDA, marking a second consecutive quarter of record revenue in a seasonally low period.
Net income for the quarter was $50.2 million, primarily due to a $48.9 million tax benefit from the release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Strong progress on strategic initiatives, including AI integration and the acquisition of HomeBuddy, which expands product, media, and client footprints in home services.
Auto insurance demand remained robust, outperforming historical seasonality, and home services continued double-digit growth.
Completed the acquisition of HomeBuddy in January for $115 million upfront and $75 million in post-closing payments, funded by cash and a new $150 million revolving credit facility.
Financial highlights
Q2 total revenue was $287.8 million; adjusted net income was $14 million ($0.24 per share); adjusted EBITDA was $21 million, up 8% year-over-year.
Gross profit for the quarter was $27.7 million, with a gross margin of 9.6%–10%.
Operating income was $1.2 million, compared to an operating loss of $1.4 million in the prior year.
Ended the quarter with $107 million in cash and equivalents and no bank debt.
Diluted EPS was $0.87, compared to $(0.03) in the prior year.
Outlook and guidance
Q3 revenue expected between $330 million–$340 million; adjusted EBITDA between $26.5 million–$30.5 million.
Full fiscal year 2026 revenue expected between $1.25 billion–$1.3 billion; adjusted EBITDA between $110 million–$115 million.
Excluding HomeBuddy, full-year revenue expected to grow at least 10% and adjusted EBITDA at least 20%; targeting 10% quarterly adjusted EBITDA margin this fiscal year.
Management expects continued revenue growth from sustainable sources at target profitability levels, with ongoing investment in growth initiatives.
The company believes existing cash, future operating cash flow, and available borrowings will be sufficient to meet anticipated requirements for at least the next 12 months.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
