Research Solutions Reports Earnings
Research Solutions (NASDAQ:RSSS), a software and content access provider focused on streamlining scientific and technical research, released its preliminary fourth-quarter and fiscal 2025 earnings on August 19, 2025. Total GAAP revenue for Q4 FY2025 was about $12.4 million, slightly below the $12.57 million analysts had expected. Platform revenue, a key area for the business, grew 21%. Adjusted EBITDA, a measure of profitability that excludes certain non-cash and one-off items, increased 15%. The period featured a $1.1 million one-time gain tied to the finalized earn-out from the Scite acquisition, lifting net income. Overall, the period reflected progress in recurring revenue, ongoing AI-driven product improvements, and solid cash generation, though a minor top-line miss and some reliance on non-recurring items affected the headline numbers.
