The substantial revenue growth was primarily driven by the financial services vertical, which saw an increase of 78% year-over-year, largely due to heightened demand in the insurance sector.

The company paid $2.5 million in cash for BestCompany and $2.0 million for AquaVida, with additional post-closing payments expected. These acquisitions are expected to broaden QuinStreet's media relationships and improve its access to quality media channels.

Operationally, QuinStreet reported an increase in customer engagement, with a notable rise in accounts receivable, reflecting higher sales volumes. The company’s cash and cash equivalents stood at $81.8 million as of March 31, 2025, up from $50.5 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. The total number of shares outstanding was 56,951,925 as of May 2, 2025. The company continues to focus on expanding its market presence, particularly in North America, where the majority of its operations and revenue are concentrated.
