Emerald (EEX) Q2 Revenue Jumps 23%
Emerald (NYSE:EEX), a major U.S. business-to-business (B2B) event organizer, posted its second quarter 2025 results on August 4, 2025. The biggest headline was a 22.7% rise in reported revenue (GAAP) to $105.5 million, surpassing analyst expectations by $5.3 million. Despite this revenue boost, the company reported a net loss per share of $0.01 (GAAP), missing consensus estimates for a small profit. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure of operating profit that strips out some one-time costs, improved by 59.5% compared to the prior year, but organic revenue growth was flat (0.4% year-over-year, non-GAAP), and non-recurring charges weighed on net results. Overall, the quarter showed strong progress from acquisitions and portfolio changes, with core business performance (as measured by Organic Revenues, a non-GAAP metric) holding steady, with a year-over-year increase of 0.4%.
