ACCESS Newswire Inc.

ACCESS Newswire Inc. (ACCS) reported FY 2025 continuing operations revenue of $22.6M, down 2% YoY from $23.1M, driven by declines in PRO plan products and webcasting/events, partially offset by growth in core press release subscriptions. Gross margin held steady at 77% ($17.3M), up from 76% prior year, reflecting optimized operational teams despite higher distribution costs. Operating loss narrowed to -$1.9M from -$16.3M, primarily due to a reduced impairment loss of $250K versus $14.2M in 2024. Net loss from continuing operations improved to -$1.6M from -$13.3M, aided by a $395K tax benefit. Total net income reached $4.3M, boosted by $5.8M from discontinued compliance operations sold for $12.0M proceeds in February 2025, used to repay debt. Cash provided by operating activities was $558K, with net investing cash inflow of $11.8M from the sale offsetting minor capex. Balance sheet shows total assets $42.0M, stockholders' equity $30.3M, and long-term debt $1.7M. With 974 subscriptions generating $12.2M ARR, management emphasizes platform expansion, customer growth, and AI innovations for sustained profitability amid competitive pressures.
