Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 14% in Q2 and 20% YTD, driven by volume expansion among existing customers. Q2 growth was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from new customers compared to a one-time large transaction in Q2 2024.
- Profitability: Net income increased 2% in Q2 and 39% YTD. Gross margin improved to 72% in Q2 (from 70% in 2024) due to the fixed-cost nature of data licensing relative to revenue growth.
- Expense Increases: Sales and marketing expenses rose 28% in Q2, and G&A expenses rose 26%, primarily due to increased personnel costs and share-based compensation to support growth.
- Dividend Payment: The company paid a special cash dividend of approximately $4.2 million in February 2025, which significantly impacted financing cash flows for the six-month period.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Customer Growth: IDI billable customers increased to 9,549 (up from 8,477 YoY), and FOREWARN users grew to 346,671 (up from 263,876 YoY).

- Legal Contingency: The company is a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Atlas Data Privacy Corporation regarding "Daniel's Law" in New Jersey. Management believes the claim is covered by insurance and is vigorously defending the action.
- Tax Legislation: The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) was enacted on July 4, 2025, making R&D expensing permanent. Management does not expect a material impact on the effective tax rate.
