NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

 

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business

 

Zedge, Inc. (“Zedge”) builds digital marketplaces and friendly competitive games around content that people use to express themselves. Our leading products include Zedge Ringtones and Wallpapers, a freemium digital content marketplace offering mobile phone wallpapers, video wallpapers, ringtones, and notification sounds which historically was branded as Zedge Premium, and GuruShots, a skill-based photo challenge game. Our vision is to 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 and nine months ended April 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2023 or any other period. The balance sheet at July 31, 2022 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, 2022 (the “2022 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 2022 refers to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2022).

 

Reportable Segments

 

Effective August 1, 2022, the Company revised the presentation of segment information to reflect its acquisition of GuruShots (see Note 5). As such, the Company now reports operating results through two reportable segments: Zedge App and GuruShots, as further discussed in Note 12

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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, the Company’s financial condition or operating results will be affected. The Company bases its estimates on past experience and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, and the Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model which requires consideration of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. These changes will result in an earlier recognition of credit losses. The Company’s financial assets held at amortized cost include accounts receivable. The amendments in ASU 2020-05 deferred the effective date for Topic 326 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company will adopt the new standard effective August 1, 2023 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities From Contracts With Customers. ASU 2021-08 requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from acquired contracts using the revenue recognition guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, rather than the prior requirement to record them at fair value. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the new standard effective August 1, 2023 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

With the exception of the standards discussed above, there have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended April 30, 2023, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

  

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 a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”).

 

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.

 

Transactions with these related parties did not have a material impact to the consolidated balance sheets as of April 30, 2023 or July 31, 2022, or the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 or 2022.

Contract Balances

 

The Company enters into contracts with its customers, which may give rise to contract liabilities (deferred revenue) and contract assets (unbilled revenue). The payment terms and conditions within the Company’s contracts vary by products or services purchased, the substantial all of which are due in less than one year. When the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of payments made by customers, the Company recognizes only deferred revenue (customer payment is received in advance of performance). The Company does not have unbilled revenue (its performance precedes the billing date).

 

Deferred revenues

 

On April 1, 2022, the AppLovin Corporation paid the Company a one-time integration bonus of $2 million for migrating to their mediation platform. This amount is being amortized over an estimated service period of 24 months. The Company’s deferred revenue balance related to this bonus was approximately $0.9 million and $1.7 million as of April 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022, respectively.

 

The Company records deferred revenues related to the unsatisfied performance obligations with respect to subscription revenue. The Company’s deferred revenue balance related to paid subscriptions was approximately $1.4 million related to approximately 631,000 active subscribers, and approximately $1.5 million, related to approximately 692,000 active subscribers as of April 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022, respectively. The amount of revenue related to subscribers recognized in the nine months ended April 30, 2023 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at July 31, 2022 was $1.4 million.

 

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 April 30, 2023, and July 31, 2022, the Company’s deferred revenue balance related to Zedge Premium was approximately $268,000 and $259,000, respectively.

 

Total deferred revenues decreased by $0.8 million from $3.4 million at July 31, 2022 to $2.6 million at April 30, 2023, primarily attributed to the amortization of the one-time integration bonus mentioned above.

 

Significant Judgments

 

The advertising networks and advertising exchanges to which the Company sell 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.

Practical Expedients

 

The Company expenses the fees retained by Google Play and App Store related to subscription revenue when incurred as marketing expense because the duration of the contracts for which the Company pays commissions are less than one year. These costs are included in the selling, general and administrative expenses of the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

Contingent Consideration

 

Contingent consideration related to the business combinations discussed below in Note 5 are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the determination of fair value uses considerable judgement and represents the Company’s best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a market exchange for the asset or liability.

 

The following table provides a rollforward of the contingent consideration related to the GuruShots acquisition (in thousands):

 

Balance at July 31, 2022  $1,943 
Change in fair value   (1,943)
Balance at April 30, 2023  $0 

 

The overall fair value of the contingent consideration decreased by $1,943,000 during the nine months ended April 30, 2023, due primarily to the decrease in the likelihood that certain contingent milestones would be achieved.

 

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

 

Fair value of the outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts are marked to market price at the end of each measurement period.

 

The Company’s other financial instruments at April 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022 included trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable. The carrying amounts of the trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable approximated fair value due to their short-term nature.

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 U.S. Dollar (USD) to Norwegian Kroner (NOK) and USD to Euro (EUR) exchange rates. The Company is party to a Foreign Exchange Agreement with WAB allowing the Company to enter into foreign exchange contracts under its revolving credit facility with the bank (see Note 11). The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these contracts, and therefore the changes in fair value are recorded in unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. 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.

 

The outstanding contracts at April 30, 2023, were as follows:

Note 5—Business Combination and Assets Acquisition

 

GuruShots Acquisition

 

On April 12, 2022, the Company consummated the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding equity securities of GuruShots, Ltd., an Israeli company that operates a platform used for its competitive photography game available across iOS, Android and the web. The acquisition was effected pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) between the Company, GuruShots and the holders of the GuruShots equity interests. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting and the results of operations of GuruShots have been included in the Company’s results of operations as of the acquisition date.

 

The purchase price for the equity securities of GuruShots consists of approximately $18 million in cash paid at closing and contingent payments (the “Earnout”) of up to a maximum of $8.4 million due on each of the first and second anniversaries from the closing, payable either in cash or Class B common stock of the Company or a combination thereof, at the Company’s discretion, and subject to GuruShots achieving certain financial targets set forth in the SPA. The fair value of the earnout amount at the acquisition date was estimated at $5.9 million based on a Monte Carlo simulation model in an option pricing framework, whereby a range of possible scenarios were simulated. This fair value was reduced from $5.9 million to $1.9 million as of July 31, 2022 and further reduced to $0 as of April 30, 2023. See Note 3, Fair Value Measurements, for additional discussion of contingent consideration as of April 30, 2023.

 

Under the SPA, the Company agreed to make certain minimum investments in user acquisition for GuruShots in the period covered by the Earnout, subject to the acquired users generating minimum levels of Return On Ad Spend (“ROAS”) as set forth in the SPA. As of April 30, 2023, based on the Company’s assessment of ROAS, including the combination of industry-specific, macroeconomic, and geopolitical challenges that negatively impacted ROAS during the period, the Company did not make the minimum investment for the first annual period covered by the Earnout.

 

In addition, the Company has committed to a retention pool of $4 million in cash and 626,242 shares of the Company Class B common stock (the number of shares was determined based on a value of $4 million or $6.39 per share which was the volume weighted average closing prices of the Class B common stock on the NYSE American Exchange for the thirty trading days ended April 12, 2022) for GuruShots’ founders and employees that will be payable or vest, as applicable, over three years from April 1, 2022 based on the beneficiaries thereof remaining employed by the Company or a subsidiary. On April 17, 2023, 205,618 shares were vested with a fair value of $1.93 per share.

 

The parties to the SPA have made customary representations, warranties and covenants therein. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the SPA and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed by the respective parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the SPA.

 

The cash purchase price and the earnout have been allocated to GuruShots’ tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The preliminary fair value estimates of the net assets acquired are based upon preliminary calculations and valuations, and those estimates and assumptions are subject to change as the Company obtains additional information for those estimates during the measurement period. The excess of the total consideration over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill which was $8.9 million at closing.

 

11

 

 

The Company recorded a measurement period adjustment of $180,000 in the three month period ended July 31, 2022 which reduced the goodwill balance from $8.9 million to $8.7 million. The Company wrote off the remaining goodwill balance and recorded a loss on goodwill impairment of $8.7 million in the three month period ended April 30, 2023 as discussed below in Note 6.

 

The allocation of the preliminary purchase price is as follows (in thousands):

 

(Dollar Amounts in Thousands)    
Purchase price consideration:    
Cash consideration paid at close  $15,242 
Cash contributed to escrow accounts at close   2,700 
Cash deducted from purchase price and contributed to GuruShots’ working capital   58 
Fair value of contingent consideration to be achieved at year 1   3,396 
Fair value of contingent consideration to be achieved at year 2   2,508 
Fair value of total consideration transferred   23,904 
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired  $23,384 
      
Fair value allocation of purchase price:     
Cash and cash equivalents  $520 
Trade accounts receivable   282 
Prepaid expenses   145 
Property and equipment, net   17 
Other assets (including ROU)   151 
Accounts payable and accrued expenses   (1,351)
Operating lease liabilities, current   (53)
Operating lease liabilities, noncurrent   (34)
Acquired intangible assets   15,320 
Goodwill   8,907 
Total purchase price  $23,904 

 

The cash consideration paid includes $2.7 million deposited with the escrow agent that is available to satisfy for post-closing indemnification claims made within 18 months of the acquisition date. There have been no claims made as of April 30, 2023.

 

The earnout amount to be paid (up to the maximum of $16.8 million) will be determined based upon the satisfaction of certain defined operational milestones and will be remeasured at fair value at each reporting period through earnings. As the fair value is based on unobservable inputs, the liabilities are included in Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. The unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of the earnout which is assumed to be paid in cash include management’s reasonable assumptions about the likelihood of payment based on the satisfaction of certain defined operational milestones and discount rates based on cost of debt. Please see Note 3 for the fair value measurement.

 

The Company has issued 601,192 (net of forfeiture of 25,050 shares for employees who left the Company) shares of the Company’s Class B common in respect of the retention pool to the GuruShots founders and employees, which are held by a trustee based in Israel. These shares will vest, in equal tranches, over three years from April 1, 2023 assuming that the recipients remain employed by the Company or a subsidiary through the vesting dates, 205,618 shares vested on April 1, 2023. The grant date fair value of these unvested restricted stock of $4 million is not included as purchase consideration above, as it has a post-combination service requirement and will be accounted for separately from the business combination as stock compensation expense. Additionally, the founders and employees are also entitled to receive an aggregate of up to $4 million retention cash bonus over three years subject to the same continued service requirement, which was not included in the purchase price above. As of April 30, 2023, the Company has accrued $1.4 million in retention bonus which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, of which $1.3 million was paid in May 2023.

Identified intangible assets consist of trade names, technology and customer relationships. The fair value of intangible assets and the determination of their respective useful lives were made in accordance with ASC 805 and are outlined in the table below:

 

(Dollar Amounts in Thousands)  Asset Value   Useful Life
Identified intangible assets:       
Trade names  $3,570   12 years
Acquired developed technology   3,950   5 years
Customer relationships   7,800   10 years
Total identified intangible assets  $15,320    

 

The Company’s initial fair value estimates related to the various identified intangible assets were determined under various valuation approaches including the relief-from-royalty method and multi-period excess earnings. These valuation methods require management to project revenues, operating expenses, working capital investment, capital spending and cash flows for GuruShots over a multiyear period, as well as determine the weighted average cost of capital to be used as a discount rate.

 

The Company amortizes its intangible assets assuming no residual value over periods in which the economic benefit of these assets is consumed.

 

The Company recorded the excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. The Company believes that the investment value of the future enhancement of the Company’s products and offerings created as a result of this acquisition has principally contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of $8.9 million of goodwill, which was subsequent reduced by $180,000 and to $0 as discussed below in Note 6. $2.8 million of the write-off of goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

 

Acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., legal, due diligence, valuation, and other professional fees) are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are required to be expensed as incurred. During fiscal 2022, we incurred $860,000 of acquisition-related costs, which are included in Selling, General and Administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information

 

The unaudited pro forma financial information for all periods presented below has been calculated after adjusting the results of a combined Zedge and GuruShots to reflect the business combination accounting effects resulting from this acquisition, including acquisition costs and the amortization expense from acquired intangible assets as though the acquisition occurred on August 1, 2020. The information below reflects adjustments to Zedge’s historical consolidated financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the business combination. The pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place on August 1, 2020.

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   April 30 (1)   April 30 (1) 
   2021   2022   2021   2022 
Revenue  $7,522   $7,625   $21,002   $24,134 
Net income  $1,625   $571   $2,240   $2,580 

  

1)The fiscal year end of Zedge is July 31 and the fiscal year end of GuruShots was December 31. The pro forma financial information above has been prepared utilizing the three and nine months ended April 30th for Zedge and March 31st for GuruShots.

The unaudited pro forma financial information includes the following adjustments, net of any tax impacts:

 

(i)incremental amortization expense recognized based on fair value of intangible assets recorded upon acquisition of GuruShots;

 

(ii)incremental compensation expense related to the vesting of retention awards to GuruShots employees consisting of restricted stock awards and cash payments; and

 

(iii)the reversal of historical fair value adjustments and interest expense recorded on GuruShots’ convertible notes that were settled on the acquisition date.

 

(iv)income tax expense (benefit) was adjusted for the impact of the above adjustments for each period.

 

Transaction costs related to the acquisition of GuruShots incurred during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 were $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively. For pro forma purposes, these expenses were reclassified to the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma financial information is for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s operating results would have been had the GuruShots Acquisition taken place on August 1, 2020.

 

GuruShots’ operating results are consolidated with our operating results beginning on April 13, 2022. Therefore, our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 may not be comparable to the corresponding periods in 2022. GuruShots’ results of operations included in our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 include revenues of $0.3 million and a net loss of $0.2 million.

 

Emojipedia Acquisition

 

Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, on August 1, 2021 (“Closing”), the Company consummated the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Emojipedia Pty Ltd, a proprietary company organized under the laws of Australia. The total purchase price of the assets was $6.7 million, of which $4.8 million was paid on August 2, 2021, $917,000 was paid on February 1, 2022, and the remaining $962,000 paid on August 2, 2022. The $4.8 million was funded into an escrow account and classified as other assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2021.

 

The assets purchased include emojipeida.org, a set of smaller websites, a bank of emoji related URLs related to the seller’s business, including World Emoji Day, the annual World Emoji Awards, and Emojitracker. The asset purchase does not qualify as a business combination under FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, and has therefore been accounted for as an asset acquisition. The total purchase price for this acquisition was allocated to intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of fifteen years.

The Company’s amortization expense for intangible assets were $1,736,000 and $429,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. There were only 18 days of intangible amortization expenses related to GuruShots in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 following the April 12, 2022 acquisition date.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination (see Note 5). The Company reviews goodwill yearly, or more frequently whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered, for impairment by initially considering qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill, as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative analysis. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative analysis is performed to identify goodwill impairment. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it is unnecessary to perform a quantitative analysis. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing a quantitative analysis.

 

The Company has two reporting units and assesses impairment based upon qualitative factors and if necessary, quantitative factors. A reporting unit’s fair value is determined using the income approach and discounted cash flow models by utilizing Level 3 inputs and assumptions such as future cash flows, discount rates, long-term growth rates, market value and income tax considerations. Specifically, the value of each reporting unit is determined on a stand-alone basis from the perspective of a market participant and represents the price estimated to be received in a sale of the reporting unit in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company then reconciles the values of all reporting units to the market capitalization of the Company.

 

Interim Impairment Assessment

 

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment tests on May 1 each year (the first day of fiscal 4th quarter) based on information available as of April 30 in accordance with ASC 350-20-35-28. In light of a significant and sustained decline in the Company’s Class B common stock price, circumstances became evident that a possible goodwill impairment existed since last annual impairment test. The Company performed an interim impairment test during the quarter and concluded that the carrying value of the GuruShots reporting unit exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $8.7 million during the three month period ended April 30, 2023.

On November 10, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the 2016 Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock available for the grant of awards thereunder by an additional 325,000 shares to an aggregate of 1,846,000 shares. This amendment was ratified by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on January 12, 2022.

 

At April 30, 2023, there were 448,000 shares of Class B common stock available for awards under the 2016 Incentive Plan before accounting for the 204,000 contingently issuable shares related to the deferred stock units (“DSUs”) with both service and market conditions.

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation for stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock and 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 (loss) income, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for our employees and non-employees as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   April 30,   April 30, 
   2023   2022   2023   2022 
   (in thousands)   (in thousands) 
Stock-based compensation expense  $578   $483   $1,957   $1,291 

 

As of April 30, 2023, the Company’s unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was $350,000 for unvested stock options, $804,000 for unvested DSUs and $2.5 million for unvested restricted stock including the $4 million portion of retention bonus to be paid in the Company’s Class B common stock in connection with the GuruShots acquisition.

 

In the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, awards with respect to 237,000 shares and 65,000 shares vested. In connection with this vesting, the Company purchased 6,310 shares and 16,115 shares respectively of Class B Stock from certain employees for $17,000 and $232,000 respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock and DSUs.

 

Repricing of Outstanding and Unexercised Options

 

On October 20, 2022, the Board unanimously approved the repricing of all outstanding and unexercised stock options granted under the 2016 Plan with exercise prices above the then current market value held by then current employees, executive officers, and consultants of the Company (the “Eligible Stock Options”). Effective October 20, 2022, the exercise price of the eligible stock options was reduced to $2.27, the closing price of its common stock on October 19, 2022. Except for the modification to the exercise price of the Eligible Stock Options, all other terms and conditions of each of the Eligible Stock Options remained in full force and effect.

 

Pursuant to the 2016 Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, as the administrator, has discretionary authority, exercisable on such terms and conditions that it deems appropriate under the circumstances, to reduce the exercise price in effect for outstanding options under the 2016 Incentive Plan. In approving the repricing, the Compensation Committee considered the impact of the current exercise prices of outstanding stock options on the incentives provided to employees and consultants, the lack of retention value provided by the outstanding stock options to employees and consultants, and the impact of such options on the capital structure of the Company. As of October, 2022, there were 532,750 stock options outstanding under the 2016 Incentive Plan, of which 191,663 outstanding stock options had exercise prices in excess of the market price of the Company’s common stock as of October 20, 2022, which is why the Compensation Committee made the determination to deem all outstanding and unexercised stock options held by current employees, executive officers, and consultants as Eligible Stock Options.

 

Jonathan Reich, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Yi Tsai, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, hold Eligible Stock Options exercisable for an aggregate of 64,898 and 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively.

 

17

 

 

The option repricing resulted in incremental stock-based compensation of $87,000, of which $48,000 was recorded as expense in the nine months ended April 30, 2023, and $39,000 will be recognized as expense over the requisite service periods over which the Eligible Stock Options vest.

 

Note 9—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 (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   April 30,   April 30, 
   2023   2022   2023   2022 
Basic weighted-average number of shares   14,017    14,307    14,221    14,295 
Effect of dilutive securities:                    
Stock options   
-
    505    
-
    598 
Non-vested restricted Class B common stock   
-
    30    
-
    63 
Deferred stock units   
-
    17    
-
    18 
Diluted weighted-average number of shares   14,017    14,859    14,221    14,974 

 

The following shares were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share computations because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   April 30,   April 30, 
   2023   2022   2023   2022 
Stock options   855    95    831    59 
Non-vested restricted Class B common stock   426    
-
    426    
-
 
Deferred stock units   237    277    237    238 
Shares excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share   1,518    372    1,494    297 

 

For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, the diluted earnings per share equals basic earnings per share because the Company incurred a net loss during those periods and the impact of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock and DSUs would have been anti-dilutive.

 

Note 10—Commitments and Contingencies  

 

Commitments

 

In connection with the acquisition of GuruShots, the Company has (i) committed to a retention pool of $4 million in cash to be paid to the founders and employees of GuruShots that will be payable over three years from April 1, 2022 based on the beneficiaries thereof remaining employed by the Company or a subsidiary; and (ii) agreed to make certain minimum investments in user acquisition for GuruShots in the period covered by the Earnout, subject to the acquired users generating minimum levels of Return On Ad Spend as set forth in the SPA. As of April 30, 2023, based on the Company’s assessment of ROAS, including the combination of industry-specific, macroeconomic, and geopolitical challenges that negatively impacted ROAS during the period, the Company did not make the minimum investment for the first annual period covered by the Earnout.

 

18

 

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company may from time to time be subject to other 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.

 

Note 11—Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facilities

 

As of September 27, 2016, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Western Alliance Bank (“WAB”) for a revolving credit facility of up to $2.5 million for an initial two-year term which was extended twice for another two-year term which expired September 26, 2022 and was amended on October 28, 2022 as discussed below. The revolving credit facility was secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets. Effective with the September 2020 extension, the outstanding principal amount bore interest per annum at the greater of 3.5% or the prime rate plus 1.25%. Previously the interest rate was capped at 5.0%. Interest was payable monthly and all outstanding principal and any accrued and unpaid interest was due on the maturity date of September 26, 2022. The Company was required to pay an annual facility fee of $10 to WAB. The Company was also required to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants and to maintain certain financial ratios during the term of the revolving credit facility. The covenants included a prohibition on the Company paying any dividend on its capital stock. At October 27, 2022 and July 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants.

 

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. 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%.

 

Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company discontinued the existing $2 million revolving credit facility under the prior version of the Loan and Security Agreement. At the time of the discontinuance, there was no outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility.

 

Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, $2 million was advanced in a single-cash advance on October 28, 2022, with the remaining $5 million available for drawdown during twenty-four (24) months after closing. Each drawdown must be in an amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1 million). On May 11, 2023, the Company entered into a Modification Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to modify the Amended Loan Agreement to reduce the remaining $5 million availability to $0, see Note 15.

 

Interest accrued under the Amended Loan Agreement is due monthly, and the Company shall make monthly interest-only payments related to the term loan through the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the closing date. From the nineteen (19) month anniversary of the Closing Date through the maturity date, the Company shall repay each outstanding term loan by paying the Applicable Term Advance Amortization Payment equal to 1/12th of 10% of the outstanding term loan balance plus monthly payments of accrued interest, in each case payable on the tenth (10th) day of each month. Zedge’s final payment for each Term Advance, due on the Term Loan Maturity Date, shall include all outstanding principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on such Term Advance. Once repaid, a Term Advance may not be reborrowed.

 

The Amended Loan Agreement may also require early repayments if certain conditions are met. Borrowings under the Amended Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, its subsidiaries, and certain of its affiliates.

 

19

 

 

The Amended Loan Agreement includes the following financial covenants:

 

  a) Debt Service Coverage Ratio. Zedge shall maintain, at all times, a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of no less than 1.25 to 1.00. This covenant shall be tested quarterly as of the end of each fiscal quarter.

  

  b) Maximum Debt to EBITDA. Zedge shall maintain, at all times, a ratio of (a) indebtedness owed by Zedge to WAB, to (b) Zedge’s EBITDA for the trailing twelve (12) month period ended on such date of determination, shall not be greater than the amount set forth under the heading “Maximum Debt to EBITDA Ratio” as of, and for each of the dates appearing adjacent to such Maximum Debt to EBITDA Ratio”.

 

Maximum Debt to Quarter Ending   EBITDA Ratio
October 31, 2022   1.75 to 1.00
April 30, 2023   1.75 to 1.00
April 30, 2023   1.75 to 1.00
July 31, 2023   1.75 to 1.00
October 31, 2023   1.25 to 1.00
January 31, 2024   1.25 to 1.00
April 30, 2024   1.25 to 1.00
July 31, 2024   1.25 to 1.00
Thereafter   To be agreed upon

 

The Amended Loan Agreement also 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 April 30, 2023, there were $5.8 million of outstanding foreign exchange contracts, which reduced the available borrowing under the revolving credit facility by $585,000.

 

Note 12—Segment and Geographic Information

 

Segment Information

 

Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer as of April 30, 2023. Based on the criteria established by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company had one operating and reportable segment as of July 31, 2022.

 

Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company revised the presentation of segment information to align with changes to how the Company’s CODM manages the business, allocates resources and assesses operating performance reports operating results based on two reportable segments, which are Zedge App and GuruShots.

 

20

 

 

The CODM evaluates the performance of each operating segment using revenue and income (loss) from operations. The following table provides information about the Company’s two reportable segments (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   April 30,   April 30, 
   2023   2022   2023   2022 
   (in thousands)   (in thousands) 
Revenue:                
Zedge App  $5,636   $5,936   $16,941   $18,879 
GuruShots   1,090    294    3,668    294 
Total  $6,726   $6,230   $20,609   $19,173 
                     
Segment income (loss) from operations:                    
Zedge App  $1,850   $1,590   $4,785   $7,285 
GuruShots   (10,262)   (248)   (11,940)   (248)
Total  $(8,412)  $1,342   $(7,155)  $7,037 

 

The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset information and, accordingly, the Company does not report asset information by segment.

 

GuruShots’ operating results are consolidated with our operating results beginning on April 13, 2022. Therefore, our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 may not be comparable to the corresponding periods in 2022. Please refer to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information contained in Note 5.

 

Geographic Information

 

Net long-lived assets and total assets held outside of the United States, which are located primarily in Israel and Norway, were as follows (in thousands):

 

   United States   Foreign   Total 
Long-lived assets, net:            
April 30, 2023  $7,275   $14,545   $21,820 
July 31, 2022  $7,818   $15,217   $23,035 
                
Total assets:               
April 30, 2023  $27,066   $20,510   $47,576 
July 31, 2022  $26,229   $28,397   $54,626 

 

Note 13— Operating Leases

 

The Company has operating leases primarily for office space. Operating lease right-of-use assets recorded and included in other assets were $324,000 and $204,000 at April 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022, respectively.

 

The Company has one office lease in Norway with a term that was scheduled to expire on March 31, 2024. This lease was extended on April 26, 2023 for an additional three-year term from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027 at a cost of approximately $83,000 per year. The lease extension resulted in the recognition of an additional right of use asset and a lease liability of $232,000 and $229,000, respectively, in the nine months ended April 30, 2023.

 

Except for the lease extension discussed above, there were no material changes in the Company’s operating and finance leases in the nine months ended April 30, 2023, as compared to the disclosure regarding such leases in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

 

21

 

 

Note 14—Provision for Income Taxes

 

The Company’s tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods 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 expects its overall effective tax rate for fiscal year ending July 31, 2023 to be approximately 24% before any discrete items. During the third quarter the Company accounted for various discrete items including stock-based compensation, contingent liability and goodwill impairment which resulted in a net effective tax rate of approximately 10%.

 

As of April 30, 2023, the Company had $3.7 million of deferred tax assets for which it has established a valuation allowance of $1.9 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 15—Subsequent Events

 

On May 11, 2023 the Company entered into a Modification Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to modify the Amended Loan Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth therein, including, without limitation, reducing the maximum amount that can be advanced in respect of the Term Loan from $7 million to $2 million, and agreed to keep cash deposit at WAB no less than 1.05 times total indebtedness to WAB. This will provide the Company with additional flexibility in cash management operations, including the ability to deposit a greater portion of funds in FDIC-insured deposits and other secure vehicles, as well as other commercial banking relationships.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the associated notes thereto of this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

As used below, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “the Company,” “Zedge,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Zedge, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its subsidiaries, GuruShots Ltd., Zedge Europe AS and Zedge Lithuania UAB, collectively.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements that contain the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” and similar words and phrases. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) Economic, geopolitical and market conditions can adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability, which in turn could adversely affect our stock price; (2) Our ability to successfully make acquisitions and/or successfully integrate acquisitions that we have made into Zedge without incurring unanticipated costs or without being subject to other integration issues that may disrupt our existing operations; (3) Delay or failure to realize the expected synergies and benefits of the GuruShots acquisition; (4) The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our employees, customers, partners, and the global financial markets; and (5) Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the international community’s response. For further information regarding risks and uncertainties associated with our business, please refer to Item 1A to Part I “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this report and we assume no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Investors should consult all of the information set forth in this report and the other information set forth from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the Form 10-K.

 

Geo-Political and Macroeconomic Conditions and the COVID-19 Pandemic

 

We are subject to risks and uncertainties caused by events with significant macroeconomic impacts, including but not limited to, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, rising interest rates, actions taken to counter inflation, reduced consumer confidence, supply side disruptions, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The future and full impact that these factors may have on our business, financial condition, and results of operations is unclear. The risks related to our business are further described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those discussed under Item 1A to Part I “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K.

 

Impact of Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine

 

We are closely monitoring the current and potential impact on our business, our people, and our users/customers as Russia’s war with Ukraine evolves. We have taken steps to comply with applicable domestic and international regulatory restrictions on international trade and financial transactions. Revenues associated with our users/customers in Russia and Belarus are not material to our consolidated financial results, and we anticipate that blocking Russian and Belarus users/customers’ access to our mobile app and web platforms will not have a material impact on our business. Management and our Board of Directors are monitoring the regional and global ramifications of the continuing events.

 

COVID-19 Update

 

Although the World Health Organization declared in early May of 2023 that COVID-19 no longer constitutes a public health emergency we continue to actively monitor the COVID-19 developments and potential impact on our employees, business and operations. The effects of COVID-19 did not have a material impact on our result of operations or financial condition for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023. However, given the evolution of the COVID-19 situation, and the global responses to curb its spread, we are not able to estimate the effects COVID-19 may have on our future results of operations or financial condition.

Overview

 

Zedge, Inc. (“Zedge”) builds digital marketplaces and friendly competitive games around content that people use to express themselves. Our leading products include Zedge Ringtones and Wallpapers, a freemium digital content marketplace offering mobile phone wallpapers, video wallpapers, ringtones, and notification sounds which historically was branded as Zedge Premium, and GuruShots, a skill-based photo challenge game. Our vision is to connect creators who enjoy friendly competitions with a community of prospective consumers in order to drive commerce.

 

We are part of the ‘Creator Economy,’ where over 1 billion people create and share their content across social platforms, mobile, and video games, and content marketplaces. Within this group of individuals, over 200 million identify as creators, people who use their influence, skill, and creativity to amass an audience and monetize it. Furthermore, approximately 12% of full-time creators earn more than $50,000 per year, and 10% of influencers earn more than $100,000 per year. We view the Creator Economy as an untapped opportunity for Zedge to expand its business, especially as we execute by connecting our gamers with our marketplace.

 

The Zedge Ringtones and Wallpapers app (which is named “Zedge Wallpapers” in the App Store), which we refer to as our “Zedge App,” is a marketplace offering 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. As of April 30, 2023, our Zedge App has been installed nearly 609 million times since inception and, over the past two years, has had between 31.9 and 36.3 million monthly active users (“MAU”). MAU is a key performance indicator (“KPI”) 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 for a price, via ‘Zedge Premium’. In turn, our users utilize the content to personalize their phones and express their individuality.

 

In fiscal 2022 we introduced several new customer facing product features including ‘NFTs Made Easy’ (as discussed below) and social and community features, all meant to improve customer engagement, MAU, and revenue growth over the long term. In addition, we migrated to a new ad mediation platform – Applovin MAX. Applovin paid us a one-time $2 million integration bonus and their performance has been on-par or better than our prior platform.

 

The Zedge App’s monetization stack consists of advertising revenue generated when users view advertisements when using the Zedge App or surfing our 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 app. As of April 30, 2023, we had approximately 631,000 active paying subscribers.

 

In late 2021, we introduced ‘NFTs Made Easy’ to a limited number of Zedge Premium creators. Over time we believe this product enhancement has the potential to drive significant artist growth and revenue production. ‘NFTs Made Easy’ is an eco-friendly platform that enables artists and consumers to sell and purchase NFTs within the Zedge App even though they may lack deep knowledge and proficiency in the crypto space. All transactions are made using Zedge Credits.

 

In April 2022, we acquired GuruShots, a recognized category leader focused on gamifying the photography vertical. 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 345 competitions that result in players uploading in excess of 1 million photographs and casting close to 4+ 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.

 

Today, GuruShots utilizes a ‘Free-to-Play’ business model that leads to strong monetization with the purchase of resources that are used to give paying players an edge while still maintaining a fair and competitive experience for all participants. Over the past six years, the monthly average paying player spend has increased in excess of 11.7% annually to more than $51.6 per player.

 

24

 

 

As we look to the future, we are advancing several initiatives that we expect will drive user growth, increase engagement, drive in-app purchases, and advance our in-game economy. Some of these include:

 

  New Gameplay Experiences. Introducing a new hybrid-casual gameplay experience that enables users to compete in short-duration photo and image competitions that are limited in size.

 

  On-Boarding. Revamping the customer onboarding experience in order to maximize first time purchasers by immediately drawing new players into simplified photo competitions that are limited to a small audience taking place in a short time duration.

 

  Economy. Evolving the game economy by maturing the game’s progression mechanics and features, earn and spend dynamics, and introducing soft and premium currencies tied to resources and benefits. Furthermore, we have started preliminary testing of advertising on web and expect to extend that to the mobile apps during the summer.

 

We market GuruShots to prospective players, primarily via paid user acquisition channels, and utilize a host of creative formats including static and video ads in order to promote the game. Our marketing team invests material resources in analyzing all attributes of a campaign ranging from the creative assets, offer acquisition channel, and platform (i.e., iOS, Android, and web), just to name a few, with the goal of determining whether a specific campaign is likely to yield a profitable customer. When we unearth a successful combination of these variables we scale up until we experience diminishing returns. Ultimately, we believe that the efforts we are making to advance the product coupled with the investment in user acquisition can significantly increase GuruShots’ player base.

 

Beyond our commitment to growing both the Zedge App and GuruShots on a standalone basis, we believe that there are many potential synergies that we can capitalize on that exist between the two businesses. Specifically, we plan to enable the ability for GuruShots players to become Zedge Premium artists and sell their photos to our audience of 30+ million MAU as standard digital images or NFTs. In addition, we look to benefit from the experience that the GuruShots team possesses and test gamifying the Zedge App. We believe that successful gamification can contribute to increasing engagement, retention, and lifetime value, all critical KPIs for our business. Longer term, we believe that there are complementary content verticals that lend themselves to gamification.

 

In August 2021, we acquired the assets of Emojipedia Pty Ltd (“Emojipedia”), including Emojipedia.org the world’s leading authority dedicated to providing up-to-date and well-researched emoji definitions, information, and news as well as World Emoji Day and the annual World Emoji Awards. In April 2023, Emojipedia received approximately 49 million monthly page views and has approximately 11.9 million monthly active users as of April 30, 2023 of which approximately 55.5% are located in well-developed markets. It is the top resource for all things emoji, offering insights into data and cultural trends. As a member of the Unicode Consortium, the standards body responsible for approving new emojis, Emojipedia works alongside major emoji creators including Apple, Google, Facebook, and Twitter.

 

We believe that Emojipedia provides growth potential to the Zedge App, and it was immediately accretive to earnings. In the past year, we have made many changes to Emojipedia including migrating to a new ad mediation platform, redesigning the Emojipedia website, and introducing localized versions of Emojipedia in eighteen different languages aside from English. We will continue to enhance this offering and are exploring new features including a native mobile offering as well as additional monetization opportunities.

 

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 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, business combination, intangible assets and goodwill, capitalized software and technology development costs, and stock-based compensation. 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 Form 10-K.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

 

Zedge App-MAU and ARPMAU

 

The presentation of our results of operations includes disclosure of two key performance indicators – Monthly Active Users (MAU) and Average Revenue Per Monthly Active User (ARPMAU) from our Zedge App. 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 the user base for our Zedge App 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 0.3% in the three months ended April 30, 2023 when compared to the same period a year ago. Over the past several years, we have experienced a continuing shift in our regional customer make-up with MAU in emerging markets representing an increasing portion of our user base. As of April 30, 2023, users in emerging markets represented about 78% of our MAU as compared to 77% from a year ago. This shift impacts our business because emerging markets do not monetize as well as well-developed markets due to lower effective cost per thousand ad impressions (“eCPM”) and lower monthly and annual subscription sales in these regions coupled with lower priced subscriptions SKUs. ARPMAU for the three months ended April 30, 2023 increased 1.5% when compared to the same period a year ago.

 

The following tables present the MAU – Zedge App and ARPMAU – Zedge App for the three months ended April 30, 2023 as compared to the same period a year ago:

 

   Three Months Ended April 30,     
(in millions, except ARPMAU - Zedge App)  2023   2022   % Change

GuruShots-MAPs and ARPMAP

 

Monthly Active Payers (“MAPs”). We define a MAP as a unique active user on the GuruShots app or GuruShots.com in a month that 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.

 

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.

 

The following table shows our MAP and ARPMAP for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022. Please note that we acquired GuruShots on April 12, 2022, as such, information for the three months ended April 30, 2022 is presented below as pro forma and is only used for comparative purpose.

 

   Three Months Ended April 30,     
   2023   2022   % Change 
Monthly Active Payers   6,817    8,664    -21.3%
Average Revenue per Monthly Active Payer  $53.2   $59.6    -10.7%

 

The following charts present the MAP and ARPMAP – GuruShots for the consecutive eight quarters ended April 30, 2023:

 

 

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.

Advertising revenue. Advertising revenue decreased 5.6% and 11.3% in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022, primarily due to the decline in MAU in well-developed markets and lower eCPM which have suffered due to the downturn in the global economic conditions.

 

Paid subscription revenue. We offer users of our Zedge app a subscription option where they can pay a monthly or annual fee to remove unsolicited ads when using our Zedge app. We employ a regional pricing strategy in order to improve conversions. The United States constitutes our largest subscriber base and we generally charge $0.99 per month and $4.99 per year. Pricing in other markets is based on local conditions. We generated $0.8 million and $2.4 million in gross prepaid subscription revenue in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 compared to $0.9 million and $2.7 million in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022. The 7% and 10% decline in gross prepaid subscription sales for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 when compared to the same periods a year ago was primarily attributable to the decline in MAU in well-developed markets between the comparative periods. We expect that from time to time the prices of our subscription in each country/region may change and we may test other plan and price variations.

In late April 2023, we rolled out an ad-free subscription offering on the iOS platform which generated immaterial gross and net subscription revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2023.

 

The following table summarizes subscription revenue for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022:

Average monthly revenue per active subscription  $0.43   $0.42    2.4%  $0.44   $0.42   $4.8%

 

Zedge Premium. Gross transaction value (the total sales volume transacting through the platform), or “GTV,” was flat in the three months ended April 30, 2023 and decreased 1.1% in the nine months ended April 30, 2023, compared to the same periods a year ago. Net revenue increased 26.9%% and 6.1%, respectively, in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the same periods a year ago, primarily attributable to lower Breakage in the prior year periods.

 

The following table summarizes Zedge Premium gross and net revenue for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022:

Gross margin   56%   44%        56%   52%     

 

Digital goods and services. GuruShots recognizes revenue at the time of purchase because the overwhelming majority of users purchase game resources when they use them at a rate that exceeds the rate in which they earn them for free through participation. Game resources revenue were $1.1 million and $3.7 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $1.5 million and $5.1 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022, a decline of 29.8% and 28.3% respectively. The decline in revenue were primarily due to lower MAP and lower ARPMAP, please see GuruShots’ KPIs discussion above.

 

Direct cost of revenues. Direct cost of revenues consists primarily of content hosting and content delivery costs.

As a percentage of revenues   7.4%   6.4%        8.6%   5.5%     

 

Direct cost of revenues increased 24% and 67% in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, respectively, compared to three and nine months ended April 30, 2022. The increase in the direct cost of revenues is a result of consolidating GuruShots’ infrastructure costs in the current year periods. On a sequential basis, direct cost of revenues decreased 21% from the three months ended January 31, 2023 to the three months ended April 30, 2023 primarily due to the revamping of our backend infrastructure in both Zedge App and GuruShots as part of the cost reduction initiatives.

 

As a percentage of revenue, direct cost of revenues in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 were 7.4% and 8.6%, respectively, compared to 6.4% and 5.5% in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022. The higher percentages in the current periods were primarily due to the inclusion of GuruShots’ operating results since April 13, 2022.

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), paid user acquisition 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.

As a percentage of revenues   74.6%   65.2%        81.1%   51.6%     

 

SG&A expense increased 23.4% and 68.8% in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022. GuruShots’ SG&A accounted for the majority of the increase. The remaining increase can be attributed to higher compensation costs resulting from additional headcount and salary increases, higher stock-based compensation as discussed below, and higher professional fees, higher paid user acquisition expenses, partially offset by reductions in certain discretionary expenses.

 

As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expense in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 were 74.6% and 81.1% respectively, compared to 65.2% and 51.6% in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022, primarily due to the addition of GuruShots which has higher SG&A expenses relative to its revenue base.

 

Global headcount as of April 30, 2023 totaled 96 (including 31 from GuruShots) compared to 94 (including 30 from GuruShots) as of April 30, 2022 with the majority of our employees currently based in Lithuania and Israel.

 

SG&A expense also included stock-based compensation expense including equity grants to employees and consultants, as well as stock issuances to pay for board compensations and 401(k) matching contributions. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022:

 

   Three Months Ended

Stock-based compensation expense  $578   $483    19.6%  $1,957   $1,291    51.6%

 

Stock-based compensation expenses increased 19.6% and 51.6% in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the amortization of the restricted stock (with a grant date fair value of $4 million) issued in connection with the GuruShots acquisition. Certain stock options, deferred stock unit and restricted stock grants are more fully described in Note 8 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Goodwill impairment. We performed an interim impairment assessment during the quarter and determined that the fair value of the GuruShots reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and took a $8.7 million goodwill impairment charge in the three months ended April 30, 2023. Please see Note 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the Company’s interim impairment test and the non-cash impairment charge recorded.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization consist mainly of amortization of intangible assets in connection with the GuruShots and Emojipedia acquisitions as more fully described in Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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.

As a percentage of revenues   13.3%   6.8%        12.2%   6.2%     

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 112.1% in both three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 compared to the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to the amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of GuruShots which were $467,000 and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, respectively.

 

In December 2019, the Company launched ’Shortz’ an entertainment app offering serialized, short-form fiction rendered in both text-message and audio formats available across both Android and iOS. Shortz did not gain much traction with the Company’s users, and on March 8, 2023, the Company turned off the app and removed it from Google Play and Apple’s App Store. The Company wrote off the remaining unamortized capitalized software development costs of approximately $124,000 in the third quarter ended April 30, 2023.

 

Interest and other income, net. Interest and other income, net in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 increased significantly when compared to the prior year periods due to higher interest rates earned on our cash balances.

The Company’s tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods 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 expects its overall effective tax rate for fiscal year ending July 31, 2023 to be approximately 24% before any discrete items. During the third quarter the Company accounted for various discrete items including stock-based compensation, contingent liability and goodwill impairment which resulted in a net effective tax rate of approximately 10%.

 

As of April 30, 2023, the Company had $3.7 million of deferred tax assets for which it has established a valuation allowance of $1.9 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.

 For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, our income from operations related to the Zedge App increased 16.4% in the three months ended April 30, 2023 and decreased 34.3% in the nine months ended April 30, 2023, compared to the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022. The 16.4% improvement in income from operations was primarily due to the $744,000 GuruShots transaction expense incurred in prior year quarter. The 34.3% decrease in income from operation for the nine months ended April 30, 2023 was largely due to 1) lower advertising revenue resulting from MAU decline in well-developed countries and lower eCPM and 2) higher operating expenses attributable to higher compensation costs (including stock-based compensation), higher professional fees and higher paid user acquisition expenses in Zedge App.

 

For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, our loss from operations related to GuruShots was $10.3 million and $11.9 million, respectively. Excluding goodwill impairment charge of $8.7 million and changes in fair value of contingent consideration of $1.9 million, loss from operations related to GuruShots would have been $1.6 million and $5.1 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, respectively. GuruShots continued to underperform due primarily to lower revenue from existing users and adding fewer new users to the platform which resulted in lower MAP and lower ARPMAP when compared to prior periods.

 

GuruShots’ operating results are consolidated with our operating results beginning on April 13, 2022. Therefore, our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023 may not be comparable to the corresponding periods in 2022. Please refer to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information contained in Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

General

 

At April 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $18.1 million and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $15.0 million, compared to $17.1 million and $11.2 million, respectively, at July 31, 2022. 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 June 14, 2024. We also maintain a term loan and a revolving credit facility of up to $11 million in aggregate (reduced to $6 million as of May 11, 2023), including a foreign exchange contract facility of up to $6.5 million with WAB, as discussed below in Financing Activities and in Note 11 and Note 15 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

The following tables present selected financial information for the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022:

Operating Activities

 

Our cash flow from operations varies significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year, depending on our operating results and the timing of operating cash receipts and payments, specifically trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable. Cash provided by operating activities decreased $8.6 million in the nine months ended April 30, 2023 to $2.7 million from $11.3 million in the nine months ended April 30, 2022, primarily attributable to the net loss incurred in the current period and changes in assets and liabilities.

 

Changes in Trade Accounts Receivable

 

Gross trade accounts receivable increased $0.7 million to $3.1 million at April 30, 2023 from $2.4 million at July 31, 2022, primarily due to higher revenue in the preceding two months ended April 30, 2023 when compared to the same period ended July 31, 2022.

Investing Activities

 

On April 12, 2022, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity securities of GuruShots. The purchase price consists of $18 million in cash paid at closing and contingent payments (the “Earnout”) of up to a maximum of $16.8 million, payable either in cash or Class B common stock of the Company or a combination thereof (in the Company’s discretion) payable over two years from closing subject to GuruShots achieving certain financial targets set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”). In connection therewith, we agreed to make certain minimum investments in user acquisition for GuruShots in the period covered by the Earnout, subject to GuruShots maintaining agreed upon levels of return on ad spend (ROAS). In addition, we committed to a retention pool of $4 million in cash and 626,242 shares of the Company Class B common stock with a fair value of $4 million or $6.39 per share for GuruShots’ founders and other employees that will be payable or vest, as applicable, over three years from April 1, 2022 based on the beneficiaries thereof remaining employed by the Company or a subsidiary.

 

On August 1, 2021, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Emojipedia Pty Ltd, a proprietary company organized under the laws of Australia. The final purchase price of the assets was determined to be $6.7 million of which $4.8 million was paid on August 2, 2021 with the remaining $1.9 million to be paid out on the six-month and twelve-month anniversary of the Closing. We paid approximately half of the $1.9 million on February 1, 2022 and the remaining amount was paid on August 1, 2022.

 

Business combination and assets acquisition are more fully described in Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Cash used in investing activities in the fiscal years ended July 31, 2022 and 2021 also consisted 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

 

On October 28, 2022, we entered into an 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. In conjunction with the closing of the credit facilities, $2 million was advanced in a single-cash advance on the same day, with the remaining $5 million available for drawdown during twenty-four (24) months after closing. Each drawdown must be in an amount of not less than $1 million.

 

On May 11, 2023, we agreed to reduce the maximum principal amount from $7 million to $2 million, please see Note 15 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

The Company discontinued the existing $2 million revolving credit facility under the existing Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2016, please see Note 11 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As of July 31, 2022 and the time of the discontinuance, there was no outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility.

 

In the nine months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, we purchased 6,310 shares and 16,115 shares, respectively, of Class B common stock from employees for $17,000 and $232,000 respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock and DSUs. In connection with the share repurchase program as discussed below, we bought back 680,594 shares for approximately $1.4 million in the nine months ended April 30, 2023, including commission and banking fees of approximately $14,000.

 

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock until we achieve sustainable profitability and retain certain minimum cash reserves. The payment of dividends in any specific period will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors.

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, 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 nine months ended April 30, 2023, three customers represented 24%, 18% and 10% of our revenue. In the nine months ended April 30, 2022, three customers represented 29%, 19% and 13% of our revenue. At April 30, 2023, three customers represented 32%, 21% and 10% of our accounts receivable balance. At July 31, 2022, two customers represented 40% and 19% of our accounts receivable balance. All of these significant customers were advertising exchanges operated by leading companies, and the receivables represent many smaller amounts due from their advertisers.

The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our Class A common stock, has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at our discretion.
