IZEA Worldwide, Inc. reported a revenue of $7.97 million for the first quarter of 2025, marking a 15% increase from $6.95 million in the same period of 2024. The growth in revenue was primarily driven by a significant rise in Managed Services revenue, which increased by 18% to $7.91 million, despite the absence of $0.5 million in revenue from Hoozu, a subsidiary divested in December 2024. The company’s net loss for the quarter was $142,800, a substantial improvement compared to a net loss of $3.27 million in the prior year, reflecting a 96% reduction in losses.
Total costs and expenses for the quarter decreased by 22% to $8.62 million, down from $11.01 million in the previous year. This reduction was attributed to lower sales and marketing expenses, which fell by 63% to $1.12 million, and a 22% decrease in general and administrative expenses to $2.94 million. The company also reported a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses, which dropped by 21% to $160,352. The overall decrease in costs was a result of strategic workforce reductions and a shift in operational focus.
In terms of operational metrics, IZEA's cash and cash equivalents increased to $50.61 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $44.64 million at the end of 2024. The company generated $2.01 million in cash from operating activities during the quarter, a significant turnaround from the negative cash flow of $3.34 million in the same period last year. This positive cash flow was largely due to a decrease in accounts receivable and improved working capital management. The company also reported a total of 17.66 million shares outstanding as of March 31, 2025, reflecting ongoing stock-based compensation activities.
Strategically, IZEA has been focusing on optimizing its operations following the divestiture of Hoozu and a targeted workforce reduction in December 2024. The company is currently conducting a comprehensive analysis of its business and exploring strategic alternatives to achieve sustainable profitability. The Board of Directors has established a Strategic and Capital Allocation Committee to assist in reviewing business strategies and formulating plans for future growth. Looking ahead, IZEA anticipates that its operating expenses will increase as it continues to expand its business, although it believes it has sufficient resources to fund operations for at least the next twelve months.
