SEC filingRevenue grew 24.9% YoY in Q2 2025, driven by 85% increase in PTV customers, but net loss widened to $26.2M due to $26.4M debt extinguishment loss; Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 21.2%.
In Q2 2025, revenue increased 24.9% to $68.5 million from $54.8 million in Q2 2024, driven primarily by a $17.7 million increase in PTV revenue, reflecting an 85% rise in active PTV customers. This growth was partially offset by declines in production ($1.0M) and creative revenues ($3.0M) due to the divestiture of Maximum Effort Marketing. Gross profit grew 37.8% to $52.6 million, and gross margin improved from 69.6% to 76.8%, aided by favorable revenue mix and lower cost of revenues. Operating income swung from a loss of $2.3 million to a profit of $3.7 million, as operating expenses grew slower than revenue. However, net loss widened to $26.2 million from $9.3 million, primarily due to a $26.4 million loss on extinguishment of convertible notes and increased fair value adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $14.5 million from $7.6 million, with margin expanding to 21.2% from 13.8%.
MNTN operates as a single reporting segment focused on its PTV software platform. The business model centers on performance-based TV advertising, targeting SMBs. PTV Customers, a key KPI, grew 73% year-over-year to 3,020 in the twelve months ended June 30, 2025. The revenue mix is shifting toward PTV as the company expands its SMB footprint; 97% of new customers in 2025 had never advertised on TV before. The divestiture of Maximum Effort Marketing in April 2025 reduced production and creative revenue streams, further concentrating revenue on the core PTV platform.
Management expects continued investment in technology and sales to drive customer acquisition and platform innovation. They anticipate long-term Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement as revenue scales, leveraging prior investments. No specific numeric guidance was provided for future periods. The company highlighted seasonal strength in Q4, with 30.9% of 2024 revenue occurring in that quarter. Liquidity is robust following the IPO, with $175.2 million in cash and $47.1 million available under the revolving credit facility, sufficient for at least 12 months. Macroeconomic uncertainties and competition remain risks, but the company is focused on capturing growth in the CTV advertising market.
Cash and cash equivalents more than doubled to $175.2 million as of June 30, 2025, from $82.6 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by $114.8 million in net proceeds from the IPO (8.4 million shares at $16.00 per share) and $90.8 million in net cash from financing activities, partially offset by $15.8 million in investing activities (including $6.2 million in capitalized software and $9.6 million in notes receivable). Total assets rose to $337.0 million from $238.7 million, while total liabilities fell sharply to $98.1 million from $177.5 million, reflecting the full settlement of $49.7 million in convertible debt and the elimination of the $24.9 million embedded derivative liability. Stockholders' equity swung from a deficit of $107.6 million to positive $238.9 million, driven by the conversion of $168.9 million in redeemable convertible preferred stock and $96.9 million in convertible debt into equity, plus the IPO proceeds.
The Notes disclose no material purchase commitments or contractual obligations beyond routine operating leases and the contingent liability. A $5.0 million contingent liability was recorded in connection with the Maximum Effort Marketing earnout shares, carried at fair value. The company has a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (undrawn as of June 30, 2025) with $47.1 million available. Deferred revenue totaled $5.3 million, expected to be recognized over the next 12 months.
Capital allocation activity was dominated by the IPO and debt restructuring. The company repurchased 626,588 shares of Class A common stock for $10.0 million in connection with the convertible debt put option election. No dividends were declared or paid. The $49.7 million in convertible debt was fully settled: $24.0 million in principal was repaid in cash, and the remainder converted into 5.4 million shares of Class A common stock. Capital expenditures were limited to $6.2 million in capitalized internal-use software costs (4.6% of revenue).
The company operates as a single reportable segment within the United States. No segment-level revenue, operating income, or geographic breakdown is provided in the Notes. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CEO) evaluates performance on a consolidated basis.
Operating cash flow of $17.6M turned positive despite a net loss of $47.3M, driven by $21.7M in stock-based compensation, $16.6M in embedded derivative charges, and $26.4M loss on debt extinguishment. Working capital changes provided a net $8.7M drag, notably a $5.9M increase in prepaid expenses and $8.5M decrease in other current liabilities. Capex of $6.2M (all capitalized software) rose 29% YoY, representing a capex intensity of 35% relative to CFO. Investing activities used $15.8M due to $9.6M in short-term notes receivable issuance. Financing activities provided $90.8M, largely from IPO proceeds ($125.3M net of discounts) offset by $24M debt settlement and $10M share repurchases. Free cash flow is not explicitly stated, but CFO minus capex yields $11.4M, though one-time items inflate CFO. The large IPO cash infusion significantly strengthened the balance sheet.
