- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, as filed with the SEC on August 21, 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2025 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2026, its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, or any other future period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, judgments and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, goodwill, long-lived assets, contingencies, credit losses of accounts receivable, and income taxes. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. In addition, the Company may engage third-party valuation specialists to assist with the preparation of certain of its valuations. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and recorded revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could affect the results of operations reported in future periods.
Prior Period Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Amounts previously presented as “Other Revenue” were reclassified into “Home Services” in the Disaggregation of Revenue table within Note 3, Revenue. Post-closing payment obligations previously classified within Other liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets have been reclassified to their own categories.
Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as of and for the nine months ended March 31, 2026.

- Net Income per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including potential dilutive shares of common stock assuming the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock units, and shares issuable related to the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) using the treasury stock method.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:
| Three Months Ended · Nine Months Ended | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 31, | March 31, | |||
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |
| (In thousands, except per share data) · (In thousands, except per share data) | ||||
| Numerator: | ||||
| Net income | $7,362 | $4,416 | $62,124 | $1,501 |
| Denominator: | ||||
| Weighted average shares of common stock used in computing basic net income per share | 57,205 | 56,696 | 57,174 | 56,282 |
| Weighted average effect of dilutive securities | 833 | 1,961 | 1,068 | 2,039 |
| Weighted average shares of common stock used in computing diluted net income per share | 58,038 | 58,657 | 58,242 | 58,321 |
| Net income per share: | ||||
| Basic | $0.13 | $0.08 | $1.09 | $0.03 |
| Diluted | $0.13 | $0.08 | $1.07 | $0.03 |
| Securities excluded from weighted average shares of common stock used in computing diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive: (1) | 2,875 | 115 | 2,228 | 440 |
(1)
These weighted shares relate to anti-dilutive stock options, restricted stock units, and shares issuable related to the ESPP as calculated using the treasury stock method and could be dilutive in the future.
- Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The Company estimates and categorizes the fair value of its financial instruments by applying the following hierarchy:
Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to directly access.
Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; valuations for interest-bearing securities based on non-daily quoted prices in active markets; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, post-closing payments and contingent consideration related to acquisitions. The recorded values of the Company’s accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their current fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these accounts.
The following table presents the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments (in thousands):
| March 31, 2026 · June 30, 2025 | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 · Total · Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 · Total | ||||||||||

There wereno transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 during the periods presented.
Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The valuation technique used to measure the fair value of money market funds included using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Post-Closing Payments Related to Acquisitions
The post-closing payments are future payments related to the acquisition of Siren Group AG ("HomeBuddy") in fiscal year 2026, and Aqua Vida, LLC (“AquaVida”) in fiscal year 2024. The last installment payment for Modernize, Inc. (“Modernize”) of $5.5 million was completed during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, and for BestCompany.com, LLC (“BestCompany”) of $2.0 millionwas completed during the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. As the fair value of the Company’s post-closing payments was determined based on installments stipulated in the terms of the acquisition agreements and discount rates observable in the market, the post-closing payments are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. See Note 6, Acquisitions, for further details related to the HomeBuddy acquisition.
Contingent Consideration Related to Acquisitions
The contingent consideration consists of the estimated fair value of future payments related to the Company’s acquisition of AquaVida. The AquaVida contingent consideration is based upon a percentage of margin achieved and is uncapped over a four-year period. The fair value of the contingent consideration is determined using the real options technique which incorporates various estimates, including projected net revenue, projected media margin, volatility and discount rates. As certain of these inputs are not observable in the market, the contingent consideration is classified as a Level 3 instrument. Significant changes in the projected net revenue, projected media margin, or discount rates would have a material impact on the fair value of the contingent consideration. The change in contingent consideration liability from the acquisition date to the final amount paid will be recognized in earnings at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration of AquaVida are included in general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The following table represents the changes in the contingent consideration during thethree and nine months ended March 31, 2026 (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |
|---|---|---|
| March 31, | March 31, | |
| 2026 | 2026 | |
| Balance at the beginning of period | $16,358 | $13,558 |
| Changes in fair value during the period | 1,850 | 4,650 |
| Payments made during the period | — | — |
| Balance at the end of period | $18,208 | $18,208 |
- Acquisitions
On January 2, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of HomeBuddy, a technology enabled marketplace in the home services vertical that connects homeowners with contractors, to expand the Company’s home services footprint and strengthen its media and customer relationships. In exchange for all of the outstanding equity interests of HomeBuddy, the Company paid $114.8 million in cash at closing and is obligated to pay $75.0 million inpost‑closing payments (“Anniversary Payments”), payable in equal annual installments over four years, beginning on the first anniversary of the closing date. The Anniversary Payments represent deferred consideration and were recorded at their present fair value at the acquisition date. The deferred consideration is accreted as interest expense over the four year term using the effective interest rate method.
The following table summarizes the Company’s preliminary calculation of the total purchase price as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
| Estimated Fair Value | |
|---|---|
| Cash | $114,814 |
| Anniversary payments fair value | 64,889 |
| Total | $179,703 |
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the results of operations of HomeBuddy have been included in the Company’s results of operations from January 2, 2026. Transaction costs related to the acquisition, consisting of advisory, accounting, and legal fees, were $1.3 million and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, and were recognized within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company entered into continuation of service agreements with certain HomeBuddy personnel for continued service post-acquisition. The retention bonuses are treated as post-combination compensation expense, vest over 6,12, or 18 month periods, and are contingent upon continued employment with the Company. Retention bonus expense was $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, and was recognized within cost of revenue and operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company allocated the preliminary purchase price to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was determined by the Company. Management also engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist with the measurement of the preliminary fair value of identifiable intangible assets. The estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on management’s best estimates. The intangible assets acquired include customer relationships, tradename and trademarks, developed technology, and noncompetition agreements. The fair value of the customer relationships was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method. The significant assumptions used in determining the preliminary fair values of the customer relationships intangible assets included revenue growth rates, gross margin, customer retention rate, and discount rate. The fair value of tradename and trademarks was determined using the relief-from-royalty method. The significant assumptions used in determining the preliminary fair values of the tradename and trademarks included trade name life, royalty rates and the discount rate. The fair value of developed technology was determined using the replacement cost method. The fair value of noncompetition agreement was determined using the with-and-without method.
The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair value of the identifiable assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is primarily attributable to synergies the Company expects to achieve related to the acquisition. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment and allocates goodwill to the single reporting segment based on expected benefit from synergies.
Thefollowing table summarizes thepreliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
| Estimated Fair Value | |
|---|---|
| Assets: | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $8,789 |
| Accounts receivable | 6,638 |
| Prepaid expenses and other assets | 2,099 |
| Intangible assets | 49,500 |
| Total identifiable assets acquired | 67,026 |
| Liabilities: | |
| Accounts payable | 2,545 |
| Accrued liabilities | 16,555 |
| Deferred tax liabilities | 4,965 |
| Total identifiable liabilities assumed | 24,065 |
| Net identifiable assets acquired | 42,961 |
| Goodwill | 136,742 |
| Preliminary purchase price | $179,703 |
The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired and the estimated useful lives as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
| Estimated Fair Value | Estimated Weighted Average Useful Life | |
|---|---|---|
| Customer relationships | $35,500 | 9 years |
| Tradename and trademarks | 10,300 | 7 years |
| Developed technology | 1,000 | 2 years |
| Noncompetition agreement | 2,700 | 4 years |
| Total | $49,500 |
The Company is still finalizing the purchase price and the allocation of the purchase price to the individual assets acquired. Accordingly, these preliminary estimates are subject to change during the measurement period, which is the period subsequent to the acquisition date during which the acquirer may adjust the provisional amounts recognized for a business combination, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. The final purchase price allocation, which may include changes in the allocations within intangible assets and between intangible assets and goodwill, as well as changes in the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets, will be determined when the Company has completed the detailed review of underlying inputs and assumptions used in its preliminary purchase price allocation. Amortization of intangible assets acquired is recorded in either cost of revenue or operating expenses, based on the nature of the underlying asset.
The following table represents the amount of net revenue and net income from operations related to the HomeBuddy acquisition which has been included in the consolidated statements of operations for the periods indicated subsequent to the acquisition date (in thousands):
| Net revenue | $39,078 |
|---|---|
| Net income | 1,159 |
The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations for the Company and the acquired business of HomeBuddy as though this acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of fiscal year 2025. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what the combined company’s results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of fiscal year 2025, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of operations of the combined company (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended · Nine Months Ended | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 31, | March 31, | |||
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |
| Net revenue | $346,095 | $299,285 | $1,002,395 | $926,719 |
| Net income | 11,747 | 3,570 | 69,439 | (943) |
The pro forma financial information presented above has been calculated after adjusting the results of Quinstreet, Inc. and HomeBuddy to reflect certain business combination and one-time accounting effects such as fair value adjustment of amortization expense from acquired intangible assets, interest expense on the amounts drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility to finance the acquisition, accretion of post-closing acquisition payments, and acquisition costs. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the pro forma combined financial results to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the business combination, reasonably estimable and factually supportable.
The unaudited pro forma financial information above includes a nonrecurring significant adjustment made to account for certain costs incurred as if the acquisition had been completed as of the beginning of fiscal year 2025. Transaction costs of $1.3 million and $3.5 million were excluded from the unaudited pro forma financial information for thethree and nine months ended March 31, 2026, but included for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025.

- Debt
On January 2, 2026, the Company entered into the senior secured credit agreement ("Financing Agreement") with MUFG Bank, LTD., as administrative agent for the lenders and certain other parties signatory thereto. The Financing Agreement provides for a new $150.0 million credit facility consisting of a five‑year revolving credit line ("Revolving Credit Facility").
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all assets of QuinStreet, Inc. and certain subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Interest is payable at specified margins above either Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or the Alternate Base Rate ("ABR"). Interest on the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are payable at interest rates equal to, at the Company’s option, either: (a) a SOFR-based rate (subject to a 0.00% per annum floor), plus an applicable margin of 2.00% to 2.75% per annum depending on the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Financing Agreement), or (b) a base rate (subject to a 0.00% per annum floor), plus an applicable margin of 1.00% to 1.75% per annum depending on the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Financing Agreement). The Financing Agreement requires the Company to pay the lenders with commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility an unused commitment fee of 0.25% to 0.40% per annum depending on the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Financing Agreement) on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Financing Agreement includes customary financial and nonfinancial covenants, including a maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (with a temporary step‑up following certain material acquisitions) and a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Financing Agreement). The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2026.
On January 2, 2026, the Company borrowed $70.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2026, $70.0 million was outstanding and was classified as noncurrent debt as the principal was not contractually due within 12 months, and unused commitments were $80.0 million.
Up front lender, arranger, and legal costs incurred in connection with the credit facility totaled $1.8 million and were deferred as a financing cost asset and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the facility. The deferred cost asset is classified as a noncurrent asset.
The Revolving Credit Facility stated maturity date is January 2, 2031.
- Income Taxes
The Company’s provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and makes a year-to-date adjustment to the provision. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.8 million and benefit from income taxes of $47.9 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, and a provision for income taxes of $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025. The tax benefit for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 continues to be primarily related to the release of the valuation allowance on the majority of its federal and state deferred tax assets. The tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is a result of Company adjusting the valuation allowance release for the revised projected profit for the year, and an increase in projected foreign taxes as a result of the acquisition of HomeBuddy. The tax provision for the third quarter of 2025 was primarily related to foreign operations and the tax amortization of goodwill.
The Company performed an assessment on the likelihood of realizing the benefits of its deferred tax assets. As of the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, due to the preponderance of positive evidence, including the Company’s projected cumulative profit before taxes and future forecasts of continued profitability for the United States, the Company determined that sufficient positive evidence existed to conclude that substantially all of its valuation allowance was no longer needed and that it is more likely than not that the Company would be able to utilize the majority of the deferred tax assets.

- Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantor Arrangements
The Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer or director’s lifetime. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts under certain circumstances and subject to deductibles and exclusions. As a result of its insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is not material. Accordingly, the Company hadno liabilities recorded for these agreements as of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025.
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company from time to time enters into standard indemnification provisions in its agreements with its clients. Pursuant to these provisions, the Company may be obligated to indemnify its clients for certain losses suffered or incurred, including losses arising from violations of applicable law by the Company or by its third-party publishers, losses arising from actions or omissions of the Company or its third-party publishers, and for third-party claims that a Company product infringed upon any United States patent, copyright or other intellectual property rights. Where practicable, the Company limits its liabilities under such indemnities. Subject to these limitations, the term of such indemnification provisions is generally coterminous with the corresponding agreements but may extend for the duration of the applicable statute of limitations after termination of the agreement. The potential amount of future payments to defend lawsuits or settle indemnified claims under these indemnification provisions is generally limited and the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnity provisions is not material. Accordingly, the Company hadno liabilities recorded for these agreements as of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025.
Letters of Credit
The Company has a $0.3 million letter of credit agreement with a financial institution that is used as collateral for the Company’s corporate headquarters’ operating lease.
