\nBuzzFeed, Inc. (\u201cBuzzFeed\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) (Nasdaq: BZFD) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Company continued to execute on its strategy to improve profitability, expand scalable, high-margin revenue streams, and invest in future-oriented innovation.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThis quarter reflects the strength of our core publishing business and the momentum we\u2019re building with AI-assisted tools,\u201d said Jonah Peretti, BuzzFeed Founder and CEO<\/b>. \u201cEditorial output increased this quarter, and a new AI tool we\u2019re piloting improved pageviews per article by an average of 25%. We\u2019re also seeing new user behaviors emerge as audiences engage with AI-powered creation formats on BuzzFeed, and we\u2019re excited to build on that with the development of BF Island.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe started 2025 with strong execution and continued margin improvement,\u201d said Matt Omer, BuzzFeed CFO<\/b>. \u201cAffiliate commerce and programmatic advertising remain our most efficient revenue streams, both growing again this quarter. Importantly, both net loss from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA1<\/sup> improved relative to the year-ago period, above and beyond the cost savings from the Q1 2024 restructuring. We\u2019re confident in our roadmap for disciplined investment in innovation, while strengthening our foundation for long-term, sustainable growth.\u201d\n<\/p>\n First Quarter 2025 Financial and Operational Highlights for Continuing Operations<\/span>2<\/sup><\/b><\/p>\n Business and Content Highlights<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Confirming Full Year 2025 Financial Outlook<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nThese statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially as a result of many factors. Refer to \u201cForward-Looking Statements\u201d below for information on factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.\n<\/p>\n \nRefer to \u201cNon-GAAP Financial Measures\u201d below for a description of how Adjusted EBITDA is calculated. While Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, we have not provided guidance for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure \u2014 net income (loss) from continuing operations \u2014 due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary to forecast such a measure. Accordingly, a reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available.\n<\/p>\n Quarterly Conference Call<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nBuzzFeed\u2019s management team will hold a conference call to discuss our first quarter 2025 results today, May 7, at 2:00 PM ET. The call will be available via webcast at investors.buzzfeed.com<\/a> under the heading News and Events, and parties interested in participating must register at the same location. While it is not required, it is recommended you join 5 minutes prior to the event start time. A replay of the call will be made available at the same URL.\n<\/p>\n \nWe have used, and intend to continue to use, the Investor Relations section of our website at investors.buzzfeed.com<\/a> as a means of disclosing material nonpublic information and for complying with our disclosure obligations under Regulation FD.\n<\/p>\n Definitions<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nBuzzFeed reports revenues across three primary business lines: Advertising, Content, and Commerce<\/b> and other. The definition of \u201cTime Spent<\/b>\u201d is also set forth below.\n<\/p>\n About BuzzFeed, Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n \nBuzzFeed, Inc. is home to the best of the internet. Across entertainment, news, food, pop culture, and commerce, our brands drive conversation and inspire what audiences watch, read, and buy now\u2014and into the future. Born on the internet in 2006, BuzzFeed is committed to making it better: providing trusted, quality, brand-safe news and entertainment to hundreds of millions of people; making content on the Internet more inclusive, empathetic, and creative; and inspiring our audience to live better lives.\n<\/p>\n Non-GAAP Financial Measures<\/b><\/p>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures and represent key metrics used by management and our board of directors to measure the operational strength and performance of our business, to establish budgets, and to develop operational goals for managing our business. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss from continuing operations, excluding the impact of net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax provision, interest expense, net, other (income) expense, net, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, restructuring costs, and other non-cash and non-recurring items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue for the same period.\n<\/p>\n \nWe believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are relevant and useful information for investors because they allow investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by our management. There are limitations to the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, and our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.\n<\/p>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP are included at the end of this press release following the accompanying financial data.\n<\/p>\n Forward-Looking Statements<\/b><\/p>\n \nCertain statements in this press release may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our management team\u2019s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts (including our outlook for 2025), or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (1) macroeconomic factors including: adverse economic conditions in the United States and globally, including the potential onset of recession; potential government shutdowns or failure to raise the U.S. federal debt ceiling; current global supply chain disruptions; the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel and Hamas and any related sanctions and geopolitical tensions, and further escalation of trade tensions between the U.S. and its trading partners; tariffs; the inflationary environment; and the competitive labor market; (2) developments relating to our competitors and the digital media industry, including overall demand of advertising in the markets in which we operate; (3) demand for our products and services or changes in traffic or engagement with our brands and content; (4) changes in the business and competitive environment in which we and our current and prospective partners and advertisers operate; (5) our future capital requirements, including, but not limited to, our ability to obtain additional capital in the future, to repurchase our $29.7 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible notes due 2026 (i.e., the \u201cNotes\u201d) upon a fundamental change such as the delisting of our Class A common stock, at their maturity, or upon the holders of the Notes requiring repayment of their Notes on or after May 31, 2025, any restrictions imposed by, or commitments under, the indenture governing the Notes or agreements governing any future indebtedness, and any restrictions on our ability to access our cash and cash equivalents; (6) developments in the law and government regulation, including, but not limited to, revised foreign content and ownership regulations, and the outcomes of legal proceedings, regulatory disputes, or governmental investigations to which we are subject; (7) the benefits of our restructuring; (8) our success divesting of companies, assets, or brands we sell, or in integrating and supporting the companies we acquire; (9) our success in launching new products or platforms, including any new social media platform; (10) technological developments including artificial intelligence; (11) our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, officers, other key employees or directors; (12) use of content creators and on-camera talent and relationships with third parties managing certain of our branded operations outside of the United States; (13) the security of our information technology systems or data; (14) disruption in our service, or by our failure to timely and effectively scale and adapt our existing technology and infrastructure; (15) our ability to maintain the listing of our Class A common stock and warrants on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; and (16) those factors described under the sections entitled \u201cRisk Factors\u201d in the Company\u2019s annual and quarterly filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.\n<\/p>\n \nShould one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that we consider immaterial or which are unknown. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.\n<\/p>\n \n________________________________\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 1<\/sup> As used throughout, Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.
