PHOENIX, April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — QuoteMedia, Inc. (OTCQB: QMCI), a leading provider of market data and financial applications, announced financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
QuoteMedia provides banks, brokerage firms, private equity firms, financial planners and sophisticated investors with a more economical, higher quality alternative source of stock market data and related research information. We compete with several larger legacy organizations and a modest community of other smaller companies. QuoteMedia provides comprehensive market data services, including streaming data feeds, on-demand request-based data (XML/JSON), web content solutions (financial content for website integration) and applications such as Quotestream Professional desktop and mobile.
Highlights for fiscal 2024 include the following:
- Annual revenue decreased to $18,742,252 in 2024 from $18,907,725 in 2023, a decrease of $165,473 (1%).
- Net loss for 2024 was $1,327,037 compared to net income of $361,584 in 2023, a decrease in profitability of $1,688,621.
- Adjusted EBITDA for 2024 was $1,778,478 compared to $3,039,507 in 2023, a decrease of $1,261,029.
“This was a difficult year for QuoteMedia,” said Robert J. Thompson, Chairman of the Board. “One of our larger clients altered its business model, resulting in a significant reduction of their spend with QuoteMedia, while another major enterprise customer was purchased and absorbed into another entity that discontinued our services as they already had duplicate services in place.
“In addition, another large long-term client was forced to discontinue services with us due to financial difficulties. This led to both the loss of the ongoing recurring revenue we would otherwise be receiving from that client, as well as a large bad debt write-off we recognized largely in the 2nd half of 2024.
“Taken together these unanticipated events had a major impact on our 2025 revenue and profitability numbers.
“Notwithstanding these major challenges, we experienced only a modest reduction in yearly revenues, because of the outstanding efforts of our teams in developing new business, creating attractive new products, and providing an unmatched customer experience. As a result, we have already replaced, and in fact have exceeded, the recurring revenue we lost with new contracts; and we anticipate that revenue in Q1 2025 will be the highest in our company’s history.
“Everyone in our company has put in a tremendous amount of hard work this year, and, while we recognize the current economic uncertainties, it is our goal to improve upon these results in ensuing periods.”

Note 1 on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, as a non-GAAP pro forma financial measure, provides meaningful information to investors in terms of enhancing their understanding of our operating performance and results, as it allows investors to more easily compare our financial performance on a consistent basis compared to the prior year periods. This non-GAAP financial measure also corresponds with the way we expect investment analysts to evaluate and compare our results. Any non-GAAP pro-form financial measures should be considered only as supplements to, and not as substitutes for or in isolation from, or superior to, our other measures of financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as net income attributable to QuoteMedia, Inc.
We define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to QuoteMedia, Inc., plus: 1) depreciation and amortization, 2) stock compensation expense, 3) interest expense, 4) foreign exchange loss (or minus a foreign exchange gain), and 5) income tax expense. We disclose Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is a useful metric by which to compare the performance of our business from period to period. We understand that measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA are broadly used by analysts, rating agencies, investors and financial institutions in assessing our performance. Accordingly, we believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors. The table below provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to QuoteMedia, Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
