The earnings call summary and Q&A reveal mixed signals. Basic financial performance and product development show stability and growth potential, particularly in the VA and corporate channels. However, there are concerns about SoHo's revenue decline and unclear long-term guidance. The company's cautious capital allocation strategy and lack of specific guidance on future growth also contribute to a neutral outlook. Given these factors, the stock price is likely to remain stable, with no significant catalysts for a strong positive or negative movement in the next two weeks.
Revenue (Corporate Channel) $56.3 million in Q3 2025, a 6.1% increase from $53.1 million in Q3 2024. This growth was driven by sustained expansion and increased usage within upper enterprise accounts, momentum in public sector business, stable growth in advanced products, and strong performance in corporate e-commerce channels.
Revenue (SoHo Channel) $31.5 million in Q3 2025, a 9.2% decrease from $34.7 million in Q3 2024. This decline was part of a strategic plan to optimize profitability and maximize advertising efficiency.
Adjusted EBITDA $46.4 million in Q3 2025, a 1.2% decrease from Q3 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by planned headcount additions.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin 52.8% in Q3 2025, slightly ahead of expectations.
Free Cash Flow $44.4 million in Q3 2025, a 32% increase from $33.6 million in Q3 2024. This increase was due to adjusted EBITDA conversion to free cash flow and an outstanding rate of collections, particularly in the corporate channel.
Corporate Customer Base Approximately 65,000 in Q3 2025, a 12% increase from 58,000 in Q3 2024. This growth was driven by the eFax Protect offering, which added approximately 6,700 new customers in the quarter.
Corporate ARPA $293 in Q3 2025, compared to $310 in Q3 2024. The decline was due to the expansion of the smaller SMB cohort with lower ARPA, balanced by strong performance from large enterprise clients.
SoHo ARPA $15.56 in Q3 2025, compared to $15.38 in Q3 2024. The slight increase reflects improved customer retention and strategic focus on profitability.
SoHo Cancellation Rate 3.71% in Q3 2025, down from 3.84% in Q2 2025. This improvement followed a normalization of customer acquisition patterns after a temporary spike in ads.
Trailing 12-Month Revenue Retention Rate (Corporate) 101.9% in Q3 2025, up from 99.8% in Q3 2024. This reflects strong customer retention and growth in the corporate channel.
Consolidated Revenue $87.8 million in Q3 2025, consistent with Q3 2024.
Adjusted Net Income $26.6 million in Q3 2025, a 0.8% decrease from Q3 2024. The decrease was due to lower adjusted EBITDA and higher income tax, partially offset by lower interest expense and depreciation.
Adjusted EPS $1.38 in Q3 2025, unchanged from Q3 2024.
