Comscore Reports Second Quarter 2025 ResultsRESTON, Va., August 5, 2025 Comscore, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOR), a trusted partner for planning, transacting and evaluating media across platforms, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Our execution through the first half of the year has been solid as we continue to build the future of cross-platform measurement, said Jon Carpenter, CEO. Our second quarter results are underpinned by 60% growth in cross-platform revenue alongside another quarter of double-digit growth in our local TV offering - the only MRC-accredited local TV offering available to the marketplace. As we look ahead, we remain bullish on our cross-platform growth trajectory and are maintaining our previous full-year guidance.
Business and Financial Highlights
Revenue for the second quarter was $89.4 million compared to $85.8 million in Q2 2024
60% growth in cross-platform solutions, driven by Proximic and adoption of our cross-platform content measurement offering
Double-digit growth in local TV driven by key renewals and new business
Net loss of $9.5 million compared to $1.7 million in Q2 2024, primarily due to foreign currency fluctuations, income taxes and interest on our senior debt
Adjusted EBITDA of $8.9 million compared to $7.2 million in Q2 2024, up 25% year over year
Earned expanded U.S. JIC certification; Comscore remains the only offering in market that is both MRC accredited and JIC certified
Second Quarter Summary Results
Revenue in the second quarter was $89.4 million, up 4.1% from $85.8 million in Q2 2024. Content & Ad Measurement revenue increased 6.3% compared to the prior-year quarter, driven by higher renewals and new business in local TV and an increase in our cross-platform revenue. Additionally, within our syndicated audience solutions, we closed and delivered on a key contract with a large enterprise media client that resulted in revenue being recognized earlier in the year than we anticipated. These increases were offset by lower revenue from our national TV and syndicated digital products. Research & Insight Solutions revenue declined 7.4% from Q2 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 $90.4 million, an increase of 4.6% from $86.5 million in Q2 2024, primarily due to higher employee compensation partially offset by lower data costs.
Net loss for the quarter was $9.5 million compared to $1.7 million in Q2 2024, resulting in net loss margins of 10.6% and 2.0% of revenue, respectively. After accounting for dividends on our convertible preferred stock, loss per share attributable to common shares was $(2.73) and $(1.19) for Q2 2025 and Q2 2024, respectively.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $8.9 million, compared to $7.2 million in Q2 2024, resulting in adjusted EBITDA margins of 10.0% and 8.3%, 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. 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, change in fair value of contingent consideration liability, gain/loss from foreign currency transactions and other items as presented in the accompanying tables.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2025, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $29.5 million, including $3.5 million in restricted cash. Outstanding debt principal under our senior secured term loan was $44.8 million. We had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2025, with a remaining borrowing capacity of $15.0 million.
2025 Outlook
Based on current trends and expectations, we are maintaining our full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance from the previous quarter. We believe this guidance reflects a balanced view of our growth opportunities, particularly in local TV and cross-platform, offset by declines we expect in syndicated digital and other areas. We expect revenue in the third quarter to be roughly flat to the prior year, after taking into account the timing of revenue recognition from the key contract described above.
We do not provide GAAP net income (loss) or net income (loss) margin on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty our future stock-based compensation expense, fair value adjustments, variable interest expense, litigation and restructuring expense, foreign currency transaction impact, and any unusual gains or losses without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to results computed in accordance with GAAP. For this reason, we are unable without unreasonable effort to provide a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, GAAP net income (loss) and net income (loss) margin, on a forward-looking basis.
