Current report
The primary types of revenues that we generate are described below.
Current report
Advertising and Performance Marketing - We sell online display and video advertising on our owned-and-operated websites and applications and on third-party sites. We have contractual arrangements with advertisers either directly or through agencies. The terms of these contracts specify the price of the advertising to be sold and the volume of advertisements that will be served over the course of a campaign. Additionally, we have contractual arrangements with certain third-party websites and applications not owned by us, and third-party advertising networks to deliver online display and video advertising to their websites and applications or to third-party sites. We generate leads for advertisers, including vendors of consumer health and wellness products, consumer packaged goods, and information technology services, through various marketing methods. We also generate clicks to online merchants by listing products, deals, and discounts on our web properties, and earn a commission when customers “click-through” the ad to make a purchase.
Current report
Subscription and Licensing -We provide cloud-based subscription services and generate “fixed” subscription revenues for customer subscriptions and, to a lesser extent, “variable” usage revenues generated from actual usage by our subscribers. We offer subscription and licensing services to businesses, which offer up-to-date insights into global fixed

We also generate revenue from the sale of perpetual software licenses, related software support, and maintenance used in conjunction with software and other related services. We license our proprietary technology, data, and intellectual property to third parties for various purposes.
Current report
Other- Other revenues primarily include those from the sale of hardware used in conjunction with software, online course revenue, and game publishing revenue.
Current report
We use certain metrics to generally assess the operational and financial performance of our businesses. These metrics are described in further detail below and are used by management in managing or monitoring the performance of each reportable segment when the respective revenue category is significant to the revenues of the reportable segment overall. For advertising and performance marketing revenues, these metrics are used for the Technology & Shopping, Gaming &
Current report
Entertainment, and Health & Wellness reportable segments. For subscription and licensing revenues, these metrics are used for the Gaming & Entertainment, Health & Wellness, Connectivity, and Cybersecurity & Martech reportable segments. Since all revenue is not reflected in these metrics, management does not use these metrics on a consolidated basis to evaluate performance, but rather uses them on a reportable segment basis as shown further below.
Current report
The main focus of our Connectivity segment is to collect and correlate the information on internet connectivity, network performance, and consumer experiences, while providing insights and software relating to broadband networks. As a result, we expect to continue to take steps to enhance our existing offerings and offer new services to continue to satisfy the evolving needs of our global customers.
Current report

Previous report
Our consolidated revenues are currently generated primarily from two basic business models, each with different financial profiles and variability. Our Digital Media business is driven primarily by advertising and performance marketing revenues, has relatively higher sales and marketing expenses, and has seasonal strength in the fourth quarter. Our Cybersecurity and Martech business is driven primarily by subscription and licensing revenues with relatively stable and predictable margins from quarter to quarter. In addition to growing our business organically, on a regular basis we acquire businesses to grow our customer bases, expand and diversify our service offerings, enhance our technologies, acquire skilled personnel, and enter into new markets. We continue to pursue additional acquisitions, which may include companies operating under business models that differ from those we operate under today. Such acquisitions could impact our consolidated results.

Previous report
(7) Certain prior period key performance metrics in the consolidated table above have been adjusted for our Cybersecurity and Martech segment as a result of gaining greater transparency into a reseller relationship enabling us to identify the underlying customers and for our Digital Media segment to remove certain subscribers who have paused their subscription for more than one month and to include certain subscribers that are within the estimated active usage period of a lifetime subscription. The following table summarizes the adjustments made to previously reported amounts.
Previous report
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reassessed the fair value of certain reporting units within the Digital Media and Cybersecurity and Martech reportable segments as a result of a sustained decline in the Company’s stock price, and forecasted reductions in revenue or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) in certain of its reporting units. Based on the quantitative fair value test of two reporting units within the Digital Media reportable segment, the carrying value of the reporting units exceeded their fair value, and the Company recorded an impairment of approximately $85.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Previous report
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company reassessed the fair value of certain reporting units within the Digital Media reportable segment as a result of forecasted reduction in revenue and EBITDA in the reporting unit, as well as an increase in interest rates and market volatility that could affect the Company’s assumptions on its discount rates. Based on the quantitative fair value test, the carrying value of one reporting unit exceeded its fair value, and the Company recorded an impairment of approximately $56.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Previous report
During each period, the fair value of the relevant reporting unit was determined using an equal weighting of an income approach that was based on the discounted estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit and a market approach that uses the guideline public company approach. We believe the combination of these approaches provides an appropriate valuation because it incorporates the expected cash generation of the reporting unit in addition to how a third-party market participant would value the reporting unit based on public and private market information. As each business is assumed to continue in perpetuity, the discounted future cash flows include a terminal value. Determining fair value using a discounted estimated future cash flow analysis requires the exercise of significant judgment with respect to several items, including the amount and timing of expected future cash flows and appropriate discount rates. The expected cash flows used in the discounted cash flow analyses were based on the most recent forecast for the reporting unit. For years beyond the forecast period, the estimates were based, in part, on forecasted growth rates. The discount rate the Company used represents the estimated weighted average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk involved in its reporting unit operations and the rate of return a market participant would expect to earn. Determining fair value using a market approach considers multiples of financial metrics based on trading multiples of a selected peer group of companies. From the comparable companies, a representative market multiple is determined, which is applied to financial metrics to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit.
Previous report
Our revenues increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the prior period primarily due to a $14.5 million increase in subscription and licensing revenue and a $5.9 million increase in advertising and performance marketing revenue in our Digital Media business, partially offset by a $4.8 million decrease in subscription and licensing revenue in our Cybersecurity and Martech business.

For our subscription and licensing businesses, the number of customers that we serve is an indicator of our customer retention and growth. The average quarterly revenue per customer and the churn rate also contribute to insights that contribute to certain of our business planning decisions.
Current wording
Subscription and Licensing- For our subscription and licensing revenues, management has identified the number of customers and average quarterly revenue per customer as relevant to investors’ and others’ assessment of our financial condition and results of operations. We believe that the number of customers that we serve is an indicator of our customer retention and growth. We believe the average monthly revenue per customer provides insights that contribute to certain of our business planning decisions. Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, management no longer uses Subscription and Licensing churn rate in its assessment of broad performance of each reportable segment. Management no longer analyzes churn rate broadly because it believes that the number of total customers is a more meaningful reportable segment level metric due to the impact of expiring licenses on the metric. Additionally, due to the nature of certain of the Company’s services, changes in our customer base are expected and do not have significant financial implications to the Company as the Company generally does not have significant upfront customer acquisition costs for these customers.

Previous wording
Following the impairments at two reporting units during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there was no excess of fair value over the carrying value at those reporting units. So any further decrease in estimated fair value of these two reporting units will result in an additional impairment charge to goodwill. Further, as of September 30, 2024, there was one additional reporting unit within the Digital Media reportable segment that may be at risk of impairment. In total, goodwill for these three reporting units was $498.4 million as of September 30, 2024. Changes in market conditions, and key assumptions made in future quantitative assessments, including expected cash flows, competitive factors and discount rates, could negatively impact the results of future impairment testing and could result in the recognition of an impairment charge.
Current wording
The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist. The Company assessed current economic indicators, including changes in economic, market and industry conditions, business strategy, cost factors, and financial performance, among others, to determine if there would be a significant decline to the fair value of a particular reporting unit. In its analysis, the Company considered that as of March 31, 2025, the Company’s stock price per common share was at a historically low level. The Company does not believe that this recent stock price decline, nor any other factors in its analysis noted above, constituted a triggering event during the first quarter of 2025. However, if the Company’s stock price does not recover in a reasonable amount of time, it may constitute a triggering event that could cause the Company to assess impairment in the future. Following impairments at two reporting units within the Technology & Shopping reportable segment during the year ended December 31, 2024, there was no excess of fair value over the carrying value at those reporting units. So any further decrease in estimated fair value of these two reporting units greater than any decrease in the carrying value will result in an additional impairment charge to goodwill. Goodwill for these two reporting units was $321.8 million as of March 31, 2025. There were no other reporting units with less than 10% excess fair value over carrying value as of the most recent evaluation that may be at risk of impairment as of March 31, 2025. Changes in market conditions, and key assumptions made in future quantitative assessments, including expected cash flows, competitive factors and discount rates, could negatively impact the results of future impairment testing and could result in the recognition of an impairment charge.
