Professional Diversity Network Reports Revenue Decline and Improved Net Loss in Q2 2025

Professional Diversity Network, Inc. (PDN) reported a decline in financial performance for the second quarter of 2025, with total revenues of approximately $1.64 million, a decrease of 2.9% from $1.69 million in the same period last year. For the six months ending June 30, 2025, revenues totaled approximately $3.15 million, down 7.9% from $3.42 million in the prior year. The decline was primarily driven by a significant drop in recruitment services revenue, which fell by 23.1% in the second quarter and 20.1% in the first half of the year, attributed to reduced corporate spending on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives amid a shifting political landscape.

The company's net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter was approximately $492,000, an improvement from a loss of $586,000 in the same quarter of 2024. For the first half of 2025, the net loss was approximately $1.23 million, compared to a loss of $1.39 million in the prior year. The reduction in losses was partly due to cost-cutting measures, including a decrease in general and administrative expenses and a reduction in sales and marketing costs.

PDN's operational metrics showed mixed results. The TalentAlly Network segment generated approximately $887,000 in revenue for the second quarter, down 23% year-over-year, while the NAPW Network reported $86,000, a 21.1% decrease. In contrast, the RemoteMore segment experienced significant growth, with revenues increasing by 55.7% to approximately $668,000, reflecting heightened demand for remote software developers. The company’s total assets decreased to $7.33 million as of June 30, 2025, down from $7.98 million at the end of 2024, primarily due to a reduction in cash and cash equivalents.

Strategically, PDN has made notable investments, including a $1.3 million investment in AI Geometric Ltd., which contributed to a working capital deficit of approximately $1.92 million as of June 30, 2025. The company is actively exploring additional financing options and has implemented cost-reduction measures to address liquidity concerns. Management has indicated that the ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon successfully raising capital and generating sufficient revenues. The outlook remains cautious, with management emphasizing the need for increased revenues and potential strategic mergers or acquisitions to stabilize the financial position moving forward.
