NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Description of Business
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 and ringtone maker, GuruShots, a skill-based photo challenge
game, and Emojipedia, the #1 trusted source for ‘all things emoji’, and DataSeeds.AI, a B2B offering which creates ethically
sourced and fully rights-cleared custom image, video, and audio datasets that companies use to train their AI systems. 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 months ended October 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2026 or any other period. The balance sheet at July 31, 2025 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, 2025 (the “2025 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
2025 refers to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025).
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant
accounting policies and critical accounting estimates described in the 2025 Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our 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 our 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, our financial condition or
operating results will be affected. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under
the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,
Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income -Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”),
ASU 2024-03 will require public entities to disaggregate, within the notes to the financial statements, certain expenses presented on
the face of the financial statements to enhance transparency and help investors better understand an entity’s performance. The amendment
will specifically require that an entity disclose the amounts related to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and
intangible asset amortization. Entities will also be required to provide a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant
expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting
periods, provide a definition of what constitutes selling expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company will not be
required to adopt ASU 2024-03 until August 1, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2025-03 on the
Company’s financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06,
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use-Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
(“ASU 2025-06”). ASU 2025 removes the prescriptive software development “project stages” and requires capitalization
of software costs once (1) management authorizes and commits funding and (2) completion and use are probable. Entities must evaluate significant
development uncertainty related to technological innovations or performance requirements. The amendments also require Subtopic 360-10
disclosures for all capitalized internal-use software costs and clarify that intangible asset disclosures under Subtopic 350-30 are not
required. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting
periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company will not be required to adopt ASU 2025-06 until August 1, 2028. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2025-06 on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
All other new accounting pronouncements that have
been issued but not yet effective are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on our financial
position or results of operations.
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 Services Agreements between the companies.
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.
The Company is party to a revenue sharing agreement
with National Retail Services, Inc. (“NRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of IDT, under which Zedge and certain of its subsidiaries
(Emojipedia and GuruShots) provide a selection of their digital content for display on NR screens and share in the revenue generated from
the resulting advertisements.
Transactions with these related parties did not
have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheets as of October 31, 2025 or July 31, 2025, or the consolidated statements of operations
and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended October 31, 2025 or 2024.

Contract Balances
Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue,
which are recorded for payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations .
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 $ 5.5 million related to approximately 1.1 million active subscribers, and approximately $ 5.1 million, related to approximately
1.0 million active subscribers, as of October 31, 2025 and July 31, 2025, 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 October 31, 2025, and July 31, 2025, the Company’s
deferred revenue balance related to Zedge Premium was approximately $ 255 ,000 and $ 248 ,000, respectively.
The amount of deferred revenue recognized in the
three months ended October 31, 2025 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at July 31, 2025 was $ 0.9 million.
Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
Substantially all of the Company’s unsatisfied
performance obligations relate to contracts with an original expected length of 30 months or less.
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.
For lifetime subscriptions, revenue is recognized
over the estimated retention period during which the customer is expected to benefit from use of the Zedge app, which management has
determined to be 30 months based on historical usage and retention patterns information available to us to date. This estimate represents a
significant judgement and is reviewed periodically for changes in customer behavior or other relevant factors.

Note 3—Fair Value Measurements
The fair value measurement of cash equivalents
invested money market funds is based on quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1). The fair value measurement of foreign exchange
forward contracts is based on observable market-based inputs principally derived from or corroborated by observable market data (Level
2 ).

and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The Company’s other financial instruments
at October 31, 2025 and July 31, 2025 included prepaid expenses and other current assets, and trade accounts payable and accrued expenses
and other liabilities are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt
or payment date.
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 USD to NOK (prior to the restructuring) and USD to EUR exchange rates. The Company is party to a Foreign Exchange Agreement with Western
Alliance Bank allowing the Company to enter into foreign exchange contracts under its revolving credit facility with the bank (see Note
10 Revolving Credit Facility ). The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these contracts because these are not qualified as
hedging accounting pursuant to ASC 815; therefore the changes in fair value are recorded in the 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.
As a result of the global restructuring initiative
implemented in January 2025, which included the closure of the Company’s Norway operations, the Company no longer has exposure to
USD/NOK foreign exchange risk. Accordingly, there were no outstanding NOK forward contracts as of July 31, or October 31, 2025.
Management has further concluded that there were
no current requirement to enter into USD/EUR forward contracts beyond August 2025. As a result, there were no outstanding EUR forward
contracts as of October 31, 2025.

Note 7—Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation
for stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock and deferred stock units (“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 income (loss), the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for our employees and
non-employees as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended

$ 379
As of October 31, 2025, the Company’s unrecognized
stock-based compensation expense was $ 213,000 for unvested stock options, $ 125,000 for unvested DSUs and $ 158,000 for unvested restricted
stock.
In the three months ended October 31, 2025 and
2024, awards of restricted stock and DSUs with respect to 30,000 shares and 119,000 shares, respectively, vested, and in connection with
these vesting events, the Company purchased 4,312 shares and 6,903 shares respectively, of our Class B common stock from certain employees
for $ 13,000 and $ 22,000 , respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations.
In the three months ended October 31, 2025 and
2024, the Compensation Committee approved grants of options to purchase 13,750 and 5,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s
Class B common stock to certain employees, vesting mostly over a three-year or four-year period. Unrecognized compensation expense related
to these awards granted were $ 32,000 and $ 11,000 respectively based on the estimated fair value of the options on the grant dates.

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

impact of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock and DSUs would have been anti-dilutive.
Note 9—Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company may from time to time be subject to
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.
11
Note 10—Revolving Credit Facility
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 %.
On October 28, 2024, the Company signed an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement Modification Agreement with WAB. Under this
agreement, WAB agreed to renew the $ 4 million revolving credit facility for an additional four years, extending it to October 28, 2028.
The modification also removed certain provisions, including financial covenants, related to the $ 2 million term loan, which has already
been repaid and is no longer available for re-borrowing.
The Amended Loan Agreement, as amended, 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 October 31, 2025, there were no outstanding
foreign exchange contracts.
Note 11—Segment and Geographic Information
Segment Information
The Company determines its
operating segments based on how its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business, allocates resources, makes
operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. The Company’s CODM was its Chief Executive Officer as of October 31, 2025.
The CODM evaluates the performance
of each operating segment using segment income (loss) from operations. The Company defines segment income (loss) from operations as revenue
less costs and expenses. Expenses include indirect costs that are allocated to operating segments based on a reasonable allocation methodology,
which are generally related to sales and marketing activities and general and administrative overhead. Revenue and expenses exclude transactions
between the Company’s operating segments.
The CODM uses segment income
(loss) from operations to allocate resources during the annual budgeting and forecasting process. The CODM considers segment income (loss)
from operations when making decisions on operating and capital resource allocation. Additionally, the CODM uses segment income (loss)
from operations to evaluate operating strategy and assess segment performance by comparing the results of each segment.

There were no other material changes in the Company’s

Form 10-K.
Note 13—Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax expense (or benefit)
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, 2026 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 intangible assets and goodwill.
As of October 31, 2025, the Company had $ 6.6 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.
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.
Note 14—Shareholder Distributions and Earnings and Profits
(E&P)
On October 14, 2025, the Company issued a press
release announcing that its Board of Directors had declared a quarterly cash dividend of $ 0.016 per share, aggregating approximately $ 208,000 .
The dividend was included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities (see Note 6) as of October 31, 2025, and was paid on
November 7, 2025, to stockholders of record as of October 24, 2025.
As of the declaration date, the Company had an accumulated
deficit of approximately $ 14.5 million. Accordingly, under U.S. GAAP, the distribution was accounted for as a return of capital and recorded
as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital in the accompanying financial statements. The distribution did not affect the Company’s
results of operations for the year.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company
had accumulated earnings and profits (“E&P”) of approximately $ 11.4 million. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section
316(a), distributions to shareholders are characterized as dividends to the extent of current or accumulated E&P. As a result, the
entire $ 208 ,000 distribution is treated as a taxable dividend to shareholders for U.S. federal income tax reporting purposes.
The difference between the book and tax characterization
of the distribution results from timing and permanent differences between financial reporting income and taxable income, primarily related
to the impairment of intangible assets and stock-based compensation.

Trends and Uncertainties
Current Economic Conditions
The majority of our users and employees are located
outside of the United States exposing us to a range of economic factors and regulations including foreign exchange fluctuations. There
is uncertainty surrounding macroeconomic factors in the U.S. and globally. We believe these macroeconomic conditions coupled with the
global political climate and unrest, including the ongoing wars between Ukraine and Russia and Israel and Iran, the Gaza Strip, Lebanon,
and Syria, may negatively impact our performance.
The Israel-Hamas and Israel-Hezbollah Conflicts
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, a designated terrorist organization, launched a savage terror attack
in Israel, along with launching thousands of rockets into Israeli sovereign territory. The State of Israel declared war against Hamas
resulting in the mobilization of more than 450,000 army reserve. In addition, Hezbollah, another designated terrorist organization, based
in Lebanon, has been indiscriminately shelling Israeli territory. Since October 8, 2023, the Houthi rebels based in Yemen have also launched
ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones at Israel. In June of 2025 Israel and Iran engaged in the ’12-Day War’ during which
Israel launched strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities, assassinating key leaders and scientists, prompting Iranian retaliation
with hundreds of missiles on Israeli cities; our office and schools were closed amid shelter-in-place orders, and the constant barrage
of ballistic missiles launched from Iran and Yemen severely interrupted our operations. A U.S.-brokered ceasefire ended that direct clash
on June 24, 2025, but tensions persist as Iran rebuilds its missile stocks and nuclear capabilities, raising fears of renewed confrontation.
Compounding these threats, since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, Israel has conducted airstrikes and ground incursions
in Syria to neutralize remaining Iranian-linked militias, secure the border, and protect the Druze minority amid sectarian clashes. Although
ceasefires are in place—with the Gaza truce under the U.S.-backed 20-point plan holding broadly since October 10, 2025, following
the release of all 20 remaining living Israeli hostages, and the Hezbollah agreement extended into 2025 amid Israeli withdrawals from
southern Lebanon—these remain fragile amid violations. The extent and duration of these conflicts remain uncertain. Israel’s
response to Hamas’ unprecedented attack, compounded by escalations with Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iran, and now intensified operations
in Syria, has led to repeated IDF reservist mobilizations, affecting our workforce. Prior to this, changes in 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 and its proxies, pose additional risks. Management and our Board of Directors are closely monitoring the situation
in Israel to address potential business disruptions and implications.
15
AI Technology Trends
A key component of our growth strategy involves
the adoption and utilization of AI, which introduces certain risks that may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition,
results of operations, and reputation. We incorporate AI into products such as pAInt and rely on AI for content moderation, personalization,
and user engagement, but market demand for AI-driven offerings remains uncertain and may be outpaced by competitors. Compliance with evolving
AI laws, such as the EU AI Act, may impose significant operational costs. Additionally, in late September 2025, Google released an update
to its Search Engine Results Page (SERP) enabling users to copy emojis directly from search results rather than being directed to third-party
sites such as Emojipedia, and AI platforms, including ChatGPT and Claude, now return emoji results in response to user queries. While
it is too early to accurately quantify the impact of these changes on Emojipedia’s MAU, we believe they are likely to result in
reduced traffic and adversely affect revenue. These uncertainties could significantly diminish the value of our services and materially
and adversely affect our revenue, profitability, and prospects.
Overview
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,

We are part of the ‘Creator Economy,’
which is estimated to be worth between $191 billion and $250 billion globally in 2025, with some forecasts placing the global market size
as high as $848 billion by 2032 1,2,3 . According to multiple reports, there are now over 207 million active content creators worldwide. 4,5
Furthermore, between 45% and 47% of creators identify as working full-time in this space 6,7,8 . Most creators earn modest incomes,
and studies suggest that only a small portion, approximately 4%, of creators earn more than $100,000 per year 9,10,11 . We view
the Creator Economy as an opportunity for Zedge to expand our business, especially as we execute by connecting our gamers with our marketplace.

Our Zedge App (which is named “Zedge Wallpapers”
in the App Store) 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. Over the past two years, our Zedge App has had between 22.1 million and
28.7 million monthly active users (“MAU”), ending with 22.2 million MAU as of October 31, 2025. MAU is a key performance indicator
(“KPI”) for our Zedge App 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, via ‘Zedge
Premium,’ the section of our marketplace where we offer premium content 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. Today, pAInt is available for text-to-image, image-to-image,
and text-to-audio creation. 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’s 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 monthly or annual subscription. In April 2023,
we introduced a subscription tier in the iOS version of the app. As of October 31, 2025, we had approximately 1.1 million active subscribers.
In fiscal 2025, we introduced DataSeeds.AI (“DataSeeds”).
DataSeeds builds custom, fully rights-cleared image, video, and audio datasets for enterprise AI teams that need controlled inputs, bespoke
content, and consistent metadata at scale. We draw on a large and long-standing creator ecosystem built through GuruShots and the Zedge
Marketplace, complemented by an extensive global network of vetted professional photographers, videographers, and domain specialists.
This unified sourcing model gives predictable, spec-driven control over subject matter, diversity parameters, environments, and capture
conditions. It enables fast, high-volume delivery of custom datasets used to support frontier model training, robust computer vision performance,
and grounded generative AI.
In April 2022, we acquired GuruShots Ltd (“GuruShots”)
a gamified photography platform that engages a global community of photographers through daily challenges, real-time feedback, and a competitive,
interactive experience. 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 in excess of 513,000 photographs and casting close to 2.8 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.
GuruShots utilizes a ‘Free-to-Play’
business model and generates revenue through in-app purchases of virtual currency. Players can use this currency to unlock competitions
or gain an edge by purchasing resources and participating in additional gameplay. Over the past nine years, the monthly average paying
player spend has increased in excess of 6.1% annually to more than $40.5 per player.
In fiscal 2024, we revamped GuruShots’ customer
onboarding experience by guiding new players through simplified photo competitions of limited size and duration. The upgrade was designed
to enhance the gaming experience for new players by increasing their potential for winning and providing immediate gratification. The
new onboarding has shown improvements in engagement, retention, and revenue from new users. In addition, we migrated to a coin-based economy
with multiple currencies in order to enable more players to earn and spend their currency on in-game resources.
17
Since the acquisition, GuruShots has faced challenges
in growth and profitability, and its revenue has declined. We have cut costs at GuruShots, including as part of the restructuring implemented
in January 2025, and have materially scaled back on paid user acquisition (PUA) for the unit. In parallel, we are developing a plan, referred
to as GuruShots 2.0, to revamp GuruShots’ offering in order to put it on a growth trajectory and unlock the potential value of this
asset. Our strategy focuses on attracting new users and converting them into recurring, paying players. To date, we have introduced a
fun and comprehensive onboarding experience to draw new users into the gameplay with ease and migrated to a coin-based in-game economy
to enable more opportunities to reward and monetize players
Historically, we marketed GuruShots to prospective
players primarily via PUA channels including Google, Meta, TikTok and other platforms, utilizing a variety of advertising media, formats,
such as static and video ads. As part of the GuruShots 2.0 development plan, we have significantly reduced PUA investment for GuruShots
to improve Return-on-Ad-Spend (ROAS) and intend to continue managing PUA spend in the current timeframe.
As set forth above, we believe that the extensive
library of photographs generated by GuruShots players through submissions to GuruShots’ competitions represents a valuable dataset
for our DataSeeds offering. To date, we have secured rights to license a portion of this library for various applications, including AI

Emojipedia Pty Ltd (“Emojipedia”)
is the world’s leading authority dedicated to providing up-to-date and well-researched emoji definitions, information, and news,
43.6 million monthly page views and has approximately 7.2 million monthly active users as of October 31, 2025 of which approximately 42.1%
are located in well-developed markets. It is the top resource for all things emoji, offering insights into data and cultural trends. In
the past year, we have implemented multiple changes to Emojipedia including an AI-powered emoji sticker generator tool as well as an extensive
emoji sticker library.
In late September 2025, Google released an update
to its Search Engine Results Page (SERP) enabling users to copy emojis directly from search results rather than being directed to third-party
sites such as Emojipedia. In addition, AI platforms, including ChatGPT and Claude, now return emoji results in response to user queries.
While it is too early to accurately quantify the impact of these changes on Emojipedia’ s monthly active users (MAU), we believe
they are likely to result in reduced traffic and adversely affect revenue. In light of these developments, we are evaluating potential
mitigation strategies and will determine whether such measures warrant investment given the associated costs and expected benefits.
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 2025
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, intangible
assets-net, goodwill, capitalized software and technology development costs, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and income
taxes. 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 2025 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 11.2% in the three months ended
October 31, 2025 when compared to the same period a year ago. As of October 31, 2025, users in emerging markets represented about 77.9%
of our MAU, as compared to 78.0% from the same period a year ago.
ARPMAU for the three months ended October 31,
2025 increased 29.2% 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. Subscription revenue and subscription billings for the three months ended October 31, 2025 increased 28.6%
and 6.1%, respectively, when compared to the same period a year ago, as discussed below.
The following tables present the MAU – Zedge
App and ARPMAU – Zedge App for the three months ended October 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year:

GuruShots-MAPs and ARPMAP
The presentation of our results of operations
related to our GuruShots segment includes disclosure of two key performance indicators – Monthly Active Payers (MAP) and Average
Revenue Per Monthly Active Payer (ARPMAP) 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 28.4% in the three months ended
October 31, 2025 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 increased 4.4% to $45.2 in the three months ended October 31, 2025 from
$43.3 in the three months ended October 31, 2024.
The following table shows our MAP and ARPMAP for
the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024.

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.

Our measure of subscription billings is a non-GAAP
measure. 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 October 31, 2025 Compared
to Three months Ended October 31, 2024
For the three months ended October 31, 2025, our
total revenue increased by 5.8% compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily attributable to the increase in advertising and
subscription revenue, partially offset by the 27.3% decline in GuruShots’ revenue during the corresponding periods.
For the three months ended October 31, 2025, our
advertising revenue increased by 6.0% compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to higher average prices per advertising
impression paid by advertisers on our platform, reflecting increased competition for our ad inventory. This growth was partially offset
by an 11.3% decline in MAUs during the corresponding periods.
For the three months ended October 31, 2025, our
subscription revenue increased 28.6%, and our subscription billings increased 6.1% compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily
due to the lifetime subscription offering for Android and iOS users we rolled out in August 2023 and August 2024, respectively.
For the three months ended October 31, 2025, our
other revenue declined 7.7% compared to the same period in the prior year, principally due to a reduction in Zedge Premium net revenue.
Zedge Premium net revenue decreased 7.9% over the same period, primarily reflecting lower revenue contributions from certain AI-generative
features and reduced royalty forfeiture.
For the three months ended October 31, 2025, digital
goods and services revenue declined 27.3% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the 28.4% decrease in GuruShots’
MAP, partially offset by the 4.4% increase in ARPMAP during the corresponding periods.

Direct cost of revenues increased 20.4% in the

costs related to certain new initiatives, including DataSeeds and other products under development. As a percentage of revenue, direct
cost of revenues in the three months ended October 31, 2025 increase to 7.3% from 6.4% for the same period in the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative expense .
Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) consists mainly of payroll and benefits, stock-based compensation
expense (as discussed below), PUA expenses, third-party payment processing fee relate to in-app purchases, marketing, consulting, professional
fees, software licensing (“SaaS”), recruiting fees, facilities and public company related expenses.

SG&A decreased 13.0% for the three months
ended October 31, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by lower net personnel-related
expenses, including stock-based compensation, resulting from the global restructuring initiative implemented in January 2025, which reduced
our headcount by approximately 21%. SG&A also declined due to the expiration of the $8 million retention bonus program (evenly split
between cash and stock) associated with the GuruShots acquisition, which concluded in April 2025.
For the three months ended October 31, 2025, we
increased PUA spending for the Zedge App while reducing PUA spending for GuruShots relative to the prior-year period. Combined PUA spending
decreased 5%, to $1.7 million in the three months ended October 31, 2025, from $1.8 million in the same period of the prior year. We expect
to continue investing in PUA for the Zedge App in the near term, provided that return on ad spend (“ROAS”) remains attractive.
As a percentage of revenue, SG&A was 77.9%
for the three months ended October 31, 2025, compared to 94.6% for the same period in the prior year.
Global headcount as of October 31, 2025 totaled
81 (including 14 at GuruShots) compared to 102 (including 28 at GuruShots) as of October 31, 2024 with the majority of our employees currently
based in Lithuania and Israel.

-72.6 %
Stock-based compensation expense decreased 72.6 %
for the three months ended October 31, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by the full
amortization of $4 million in stock-based compensation associated with the restricted stock issued in connection with the GuruShots acquisition,
which was amortized over a three-year period that concluded in March 2025. Certain stock options, DSUs 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.
23
Depreciation and amortization . Depreciation
and amortization expense consist mainly of amortization of intangible assets at GuruShots and Emojipedia and capitalized software and
technology development costs of our internal developers on various projects that we invested in specific to the various platforms on which
we operate our service.

Net loss resulting from foreign exchange
transactions . Net loss resulting from foreign exchange transactions is comprised of gains and losses generated from movements
in NOK and EUR relative to the U.S. Dollar, including gains or losses from our hedging activities.

For the three months ended October 31, 2025, net
loss from foreign exchange transactions increased by $32,000 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to unfavorable
foreign exchange rate movements.
We recognized mark-to-market (” MTM”)
losses of $0 and $58,000 from NOK and EUR hedging activities for the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, as more
fully described in Note 4, Derivative Instruments, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1
to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As a result of the global restructuring initiative
implemented in January 2025, which included the closure of the Company’s Norway operations, we no longer have exposure to USD/NOK
foreign exchange risk. Accordingly, there were no outstanding NOK forward contracts as of July 31, 2025. We have also concluded that there
is no current requirement to enter into USD/EUR forward contracts beyond August 2025. As a result, there were no outstanding EUR forward
contracts and no MTM adjustment as of October 31, 2025.

In the three months ended October 31, 2025, we
generated pretax income of $1.0 million and recorded an income tax expense of $233,000, representing an effective tax rate of 22.8%. This
rate exceeds our estimated effective tax rate for fiscal 2026 of 22.3%, primarily due to discrete tax items of $9,700 associated with
the vesting DSUs during the current period.
In the three months ended October 31, 2024, we
incurred a pretax loss of $290,000 and recorded an income tax expense of $49,000. The tax expense in this period primarily reflects discrete
tax items of $115,000 related to the vesting of restricted stock and DSUs in the prior period, which more than offset an accrued tax benefit
of $66,000 based on an estimated effective tax rate of 22.7%.

October 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher revenue and lower SG&A during the current period.
For the three months ended October 31, 2025, loss
from operations related to GuruShots decreased 54.0% to $0.6 million, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended October 31,
2024. The decrease in operating loss was primarily driven by lower SG&A resulting from the global restructuring initiative implemented
in January 2025, partially offset by lower revenue in the current period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
At October 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $18.5 million
and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $14.6 million, compared to $18.6 million and $14.7 million, respectively,
at July 31, 2025. 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 December 12, 2026. We 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, Revolving Credit Facility , to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of

Operating Activities
Our cash flow from operations can vary significantly
from quarter to quarter and from year to year, depending on our operating results and the timing of operating cash receipts and payments,
particularly those related to trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable.
Net cash provided by operating activities was
$0.8 million for the three months ended October 31, 2025. This amount primarily reflects net income of $1.0 million, adjusted for non-cash
items including $0.2 million of amortization and depreciation and $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense. These adjustments
were partially offset by a $0.5 million net decrease resulting from changes in operating assets and liabilities, driven primarily by payroll
tax payments related to severance and option gains for Norwegian employees impacted by our global restructuring initiative which has been
completed as of July 31, 2025.
Net cash provided by operating activities was
$1.2 million for the three months ended October 31, 2024. This amount primarily reflects a net loss of $0.3 million, adjusted for non-cash
items including $0.4 million of amortization and depreciation and $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expense, as well as a $0.7
million net increase resulting from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The increase was primarily attributable to deferred revenue
associated with lifetime subscriptions sold during the period.
Changes in Trade Accounts Receivable
Gross trade accounts receivable increased $0.1
million to $3.3 million at October 31, 2025 from $3.2 million at July 31, 2025, primarily due to higher revenue in the preceding two months
ended October 31, 2025 when compared to the same period ended July 31, 2025.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities in the three
months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 consisted primarily 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
In the three months ended October 31, 2025 and
2024, we repurchased – under our Board-approved share repurchase program – 238,460 shares and 219,573 shares, respectively,
of our Class B common stock for approximately $776,000 and $782,000, respectively.
In the three months ended October 31, 2025 and
2024, we purchased 4,312 shares and 6,903 shares respectively, of our Class B common stock from certain employees for $13,000 and $22,000,
respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of DSUs.
On October 14, 2025, we declared a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.016 per share, aggregating approximately $208,000. The dividend was included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities
as of October 31, 2025, and was paid on November 7, 2025, to stockholders of record as of October 24, 2025, as more fully described in
Note 14, Shareholder Distributions and Earnings and Profits (E&P), to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
26
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 three months ended October 31, 2025, we

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of
Proceeds
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 million. In September
2024, upon the completion of the initial $3.0 million repurchase program, our Board of Directors authorized additional $5 million for
the repurchase program with no limitation on the number of shares that may be repurchased. 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. Open market repurchases may be structured to occur in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18. 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.
