Read full summary
ACCESS Newswire generated $5.618 million of Q2 revenue, up sequentially from approximately $5 million but down from approximately $6 million year over year. Gross margin declined to 73% from 76% year over year, and adjusted EBITDA fell to $642,000 from $836,000, although GAAP loss per diluted share improved sequentially to $(0.09) from $(0.16). Non-GAAP EPS of $0.08 matched consensus, but the 10-Q provided no quantitative forward guidance; litigation remains an unquantified risk despite insurance coverage.
