Certain Conflicts in the Middle East
Current report
Following the February 28, 2026 joint-U.S. and Israel strikes on Iran, Hezbollah launched a fresh barrage of rockets and missiles into Israel, collapsing the November 2024 ceasefire. Israel responded with intensive strikes on Beirut and southern Lebanon. On April 16, 2026, the United States brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. That ceasefire was extended on April 23 for three weeks, and extended again on May 15 for an additional 45 days, with Israel and Lebanon agreeing on a framework for negotiations toward a lasting peace. Notwithstanding the ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese government, Hezbollah, a designated terrorist organization operating within Lebanon, has continued and escalated its attacks on Israel and Israel has escalated its actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Current report
For the three months ended April 30, 2026, our advertising revenue decreased $224,000 or 4.0% compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a one-time integration bonus of $450,000 received in April 2025 coupled with the $236,000 or 53.1% decline in Emojipedia’s revenue during the corresponding periods.
Current report
For the three months ended April 30, 2026, our subscription revenue increased 31.9%, and our subscription billings decreased 4.4%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decline in subscription billings can be attributed to the 17.3% decrease in MAU in developed markets, as subscription pricing is higher in well-developed markets.

The Israel-Hamas and Israel-Hezbollah Conflicts
Previous report
The November 2024 Israel-Lebanon ceasefire collapsed when Hezbollah launched a fresh barrage of rockets and missiles into Israel following the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Israel responded with intensive strikes on Beirut and southern Lebanon and has authorized a ground incursion in southern Lebanon; the Lebanese government has proscribed Hezbollah’s military activities and ordered the expulsion of Iranian IRGC personnel from Lebanese territory, though implementation remains uncertain.
Previous report
Our Israel office and schools have been closed under shelter-in-place orders, and the ongoing bombardment has materially interrupted our operations. As of the date of this filing, active combat operations continue and no ceasefire is in place. The duration, scale, and outcome of this conflict remain highly uncertain, and the risk of further escalation across the region is significant.

The majority of our users and employees are located outside of the United States exposing us to a range of economic factors and regulations including foreign exchange fluctuations. There is uncertainty surrounding macroeconomic factors in the U.S. and globally. We believe these macroeconomic conditions coupled with the global political climate and unrest, including the ongoing wars between Ukraine and Russia, the war being waged against Iran by Israel and the United States, and the ongoing conflicts between Israel and the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and Syria, may negatively impact our performance.

Given our operations in Israel, the impact of economic, political, geopolitical, and military conditions in the region directly affects us, including conflicts involving missile strikes, infiltrations, and terrorism. Notably, on October 7, 2023, Hamas, a designated terrorist organization, launched a savage terror attack in Israel, along with launching thousands of rockets into Israeli sovereign territory. The State of Israel responded by attacking Hamas in Gaza resulting in the mobilization of more than 450,000 army reservists. In addition, Hezbollah, another designated terrorist organization, based in Lebanon, was indiscriminately shelling Israeli territory, and the Houthi rebels based in Yemen also launched ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones at Israel.

In June of 2025, Israel and Iran engaged in the ‘12-Day War’ during which Israel and the Unites States launched strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities, assassinating key leaders and scientists, prompting Iranian retaliation with hundreds of missiles on Israeli cities; offices and schools were closed amid shelter-in-place orders, and the constant barrage of ballistic missiles launched from Iran and Yemen severely interrupted our operations. A U.S.-brokered ceasefire ended that direct clash on June 24, 2025, but tensions persisted as Iran rebuilt its missile stocks and nuclear capabilities, raising fears of renewed confrontation. Compounding these threats, since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, Israel has conducted airstrikes and ground incursions in Syria to neutralize remaining Iranian-linked militias, secure the border, and protect the Druze minority amid sectarian clashes. The Gaza ceasefire under the U.S.-backed framework, reached following the release of all remaining living Israeli hostages, has held broadly, though it remains fragile.

On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched a joint military campaign against Iran, with the stated objectives of eliminating Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. The strikes killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and numerous senior IRGC and government officials. Iran has responded with sustained waves of ballistic missiles and drone attacks against Israel, U.S. military installations across the region, and Gulf states.

The strikes killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and numerous senior IRGC and government officials. Iran responded with sustained waves of ballistic missiles and drone attacks against Israel, U.S. military installations across the region, and Gulf states. Following more than five weeks of sustained hostilities, the United States and Iran agreed to a ceasefire on April 8, 2026, mediated by Pakistan. The ceasefire is between the United States and Iran; Israel is not a formal party to the agreement, and Israel’s obligations under it remain a matter of dispute. In the weeks following the ceasefire, tensions have continued over Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations. As of the date of this filing, the ceasefire remains in effect despite limited level of active measures, though its durability is uncertain and the risk of resumed hostilities is significant.

The foregoing conflicts have led to repeated IDF reservist mobilizations, affecting our workforce. The cumulative effect of these conflicts, combined with broader regional instability, risks impacting foreign investment, currency fluctuations, credit ratings, interest rates, oil prices, and security markets. Furthermore, regional political unrest and threats from extremist groups, notably Iran and its proxies, pose additional risks. The Houthis, while having reduced commercial shipping attacks since a May 2025 ceasefire with the U.S., continue to threaten Israeli and U.S. targets and may escalate in conjunction with Iran’s ongoing retaliation campaign. Management and our Board of Directors are closely monitoring the situation in Israel to address potential business disruptions and implications.

A key component of our growth strategy involves the adoption and utilization of AI, which introduces certain risks that may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation. We incorporate AI into products such as pAInt and rely on AI for development, content moderation, personalization, marketing assets, finance, legal, user engagement, and other functions across our business, but our ability to compete effectively in AI-driven markets and keep pace with better-resourced competitors remains uncertain. Compliance with evolving AI laws, such as the EU AI Act, may impose significant operational costs. Additionally, in late September 2025, Google released an update to its Search Engine Results Page (SERP) enabling users to copy emojis directly from search results rather than being directed to third-party sites such as Emojipedia, and AI platforms, including ChatGPT and Claude, now return emoji results in response to user queries. These developments could significantly diminish the value of our services and materially and adversely affect our revenue, profitability, and prospects. As a result, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $3.7 million to reduce the carrying amount of the Emojipedia assets group to its estimated fair value, please refer to Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As such, we continued to scale back our PUA spend for GuruShots while testing new campaigns and creatives in order to unearth attractive ROAS scaling opportunities. ARPMAP increased 25.6% to $50.0 in the three months ended January 31, 2026 from $39.8 in the three months ended January 31, 2025.

Previous wording
SG&A decreased 9.6% for the six months ended January 31, 2026, compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower PUA and reduced net personnel-related expenses following the global restructuring initiated in January 2025 as well as the expiration of the $8 million retention bonus program related to the GuruShots acquisition. These cost savings were partially offset by the strengthening of the EUR and ILS against the USD, merit-based compensation increases, and certain one-time severance payments.
Current wording
SG&A decreased 1.7% for the three months ended April 30, 2026, compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower PUA and lower stock-based compensation resulting from the expiration of the $4 million retention bonus program related to the GuruShots acquisition. These cost savings were partially offset by the increase in compensation expenses due to the strengthening of the EUR and Israeli Shekel (ILS) against the USD and merit-based compensation increases effective from January 2026.
