Full‑year adjusted EBITDA was reaffirmed at $130–$140 million, with Q3 adjusted EBITDA margin expected at ~18% (excluding a tariff timing benefit) and Q4 adjusted EBITDA margin forecast to exceed the 22% delivered in Q4 2025; management also noted Q4 advertising seasonality (Q4 revenue roughly double Q1). Q2 results that underpin the outlook included total revenue $159M (+38% YoY), subscription revenue $115.6M (+31%), advertising $22M, annualized monthly revenue $537.2M (+29% YoY), adjusted EBITDA $31.1M (20% margin, +53%), GAAP net income $5.1M (EPS $0.06), operating cash flow $23.8M (+79%), and $467.7M of cash; the board authorized a $225M repurchase program (used $13.2M, $212M remaining). Margin drivers called out: gross margin 80% (vs. 78% LY), subscription GM 87% (vs. 85% LY), advertising GM 57% today normalizing toward 65–70% by Q4, and hardware GM 43% (≈7% ex a $3.6M tariff refund). Management also highlighted operating expense cadence (Q3 marketing reinvestment), Pet GPS pricing (Silver bundle $99/yr) and that Pet GPS is not expected to be material this year, and that U.S. new‑subscriber price increases will be implemented soon.
