Comscore Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results RESTON, Va., March 17, 2026 - Comscore, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOR), a trusted partner for planning, transacting and evaluating media across platforms, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

Our full-year 2025 results reflect solid progress in key strategic areas of our business. We delivered strong double-digit growth in our local TV and cross-platform business lines, both of which helped drive revenue growth year over year, said Jon Carpenter, CEO. We are pleased with the progress the team has made, and with the recapitalization transaction behind us, we can now focus on unlocking value through strategic transformation that will enable Comscores cross-platform capabilities to become the standard for modern measurement.

Fourth Quarter Summary Results

Revenue in the fourth quarter was $93.5 million, down 1.5% from $94.9 million in Q4 2024. Content & Ad Measurement revenue declined 2.7% compared to the prior-year quarter, driven by lower revenue from our syndicated audience offerings (primarily related to our national TV and syndicated digital products), partially offset by an increase in our cross-platform revenue, which grew 9.6% over Q4 2024. Research & Insight Solutions revenue increased 5.3% from Q4 2024, primarily due to new business from our consumer brand health products.

Our core operating expenses, which include cost of revenues, sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses, were $86.3 million for the quarter, down 4.4% compared to $90.3 million in Q4 2024, primarily due to lower employee compensation and data costs, partially offset by higher royalty and reseller costs.

Net income for the quarter was $3.0 million, compared to $3.1 million in Q4 2024, resulting in net income margins of 3.2% and 3.3% of revenue, respectively. After accounting for dividends on our convertible preferred stock and the deemed contribution recognized as part of the recapitalization transaction, income per share attributable to common shares in Q4 2025 was $6.40, compared to loss per share attributable to common shares of $(0.27) in Q4 2024.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $14.7 million, compared to $14.2 million in Q4 2024, resulting in adjusted EBITDA margins of 15.7% and 15.0%, respectively. Due to volatility in foreign currency exchange rates (FX), in the first quarter of 2025 we modified our adjusted EBITDA metric (as well as comparable prior periods) to exclude the impact of foreign currency transactions. Beginning in the third quarter of 2025 (and for comparable prior periods), we also modified this metric to exclude certain costs related to our consideration of strategic alternatives, including the strategic review that culminated in the recapitalization transaction we closed in Q4 2025. As revised, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin exclude depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, income taxes, impairment charges, stock-based compensation expense, transformation costs, restructuring costs, strategic transaction costs, change in fair value of contingent consideration liability, gain/loss from foreign currency transactions and other items as presented in the accompanying tables.

Full-Year Summary Results

Revenue for 2025 was $357.5 million, up 0.4% compared to $356.0 million in 2024. Content & Ad Measurement revenue increased 1.0% compared to 2024, largely driven by higher revenue from our cross-platform offerings, which grew 24.4% over 2024, and growth in local TV. This growth was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from our syndicated audience offerings, primarily related to our national TV and syndicated digital products. Research & Insight Solutions revenue decreased 3.1% from 2024, primarily due to lower deliveries of certain custom digital products.

Our core operating expenses, which include cost of revenues, sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses, were $350.4 million, up 1.0% compared to $347.1 million in 2024, primarily due to higher employee compensation, royalties and reseller costs, and panel costs, partially offset by lower data costs.

Net loss for the year was $10.0 million, compared to $60.2 million in 2024, resulting in net loss margins of 2.8% and 16.9% of revenue, respectively. Included in net loss for 2024 was a non-cash impairment charge of $63.0 million related to goodwill. After accounting for dividends on our convertible preferred stock and the deemed contributio
