Description of Business

 

Zedge builds and operates creator communities that collectively serve 20 million monthly active users across its platforms. Zedge Marketplace, our flagship platform, is a leading marketplace for mobile personalization content that powers a vibrant creator ecosystem including a full generative AI creation suite. DataSeeds.AI is our B2B business, delivering managed, multimodal datasets that are ethically sourced, rights-cleared, built to spec and delivered at scale to frontier AI developers. The content foundation for DataSeeds.AI is supplied by Zedge’s proprietary creator communities, including Zedge Marketplace contributors and photo competition community GuruShots, which is supplemented by crowdsourced content.

Our portfolio also includes Emojipedia, the number one trusted reference for emojis. Our vision is to enable creators and foster community while driving commerce across our ecosystem. Except where the context clearly indicates otherwise, the terms “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 and nine months ended April 30, 2026 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 consolidated 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 annual periods 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 2024-03 on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

 

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”). ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient permitting an entity to assume that conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The provisions of ASU 2025-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, and are to be applied prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-05 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and accompanying Notes.

 

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 2025-06 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 consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”). ASU 2025-11 clarifies the applicability of interim reporting guidance, provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures, and establishes a disclosure principle that requires disclosure of material events that occurred after the end of the last annual reporting period. 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 2025-11 until August 1, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2025-11 on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

 

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, Codification Improvements (“ASU 2025-12”). The amendments in ASU 2025-12 represent changes to certain FASB Accounting Standards Codification topics that clarify, correct errors, or make minor improvements. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption and transition method may be elected on an issue-by-issue basis. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-12 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and accompanying Notes.

 

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.
