  • Audience Modeling revenue grew 13% year over year, making IntentKey the company’s primary growth engine in the quarter. Management said the pipeline is building and expects strong double-digit growth in Audience Modeling throughout 2026.
  • Legacy Search revenue fell 81% after the Q4 Bonfire reset, and management said this business is still weighing heavily on margins and cash flow. The company also described the broader search market as structurally disrupted.
  • Inuvo highlighted new DSP and SSP integrations, plus an integration with FreeWheel’s Buyer Cloud, which it says expands its addressable market and is already helping win larger enterprise conversations. The company also said it launched pilot programs with two major logos and added five new IntentKey customers in Q1, including three Fortune 500 companies.
  • The company emphasized its push to upgrade go-to-market execution by adding enterprise sales talent, sharpening lead generation, and creating a dedicated IntentKey website to raise brand awareness. Management believes these efforts should help convert pilots into larger, longer-term contracts over the next several quarters.
  • First-quarter revenue was $7.9 million, gross margin fell to 43% from 79% a year ago due to mix shift, and operating expenses dropped sharply to $7.5 million. The company ended the quarter with $2.9 million in cash and no borrowings on its $10 million working capital facility, aided by a $6.2 million settlement receipt and a $3.3 million convertible note.
