Digimarc Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial ResultsMay 12, 2026 4:05 PM
Business Wire Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC) reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. “Digimarc is capitalizing on the convergence of key trends driving increased demand for our solutions, positioning ourselves to benefit from the relentless advance of AI," said Riley McCormack, Digimarc CEO. "In Q1 2026, we made significant progress against our strategy of building the trust layer for the modern world while delivering a 9% sequential increase in ending ARR(1) and expanding our subscription gross profit margin(2) 400 basis points year-over year." First Quarter 2026 Financial Results Subscription revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $4.4 million compared to $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease reflects $1.5 million lower subscription revenue from the expiration of two commercial contracts in 2025, partially offset by an increase from new and existing commercial contracts. Service revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $3.2 million compared to $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease primarily reflects $0.5 million of lower commercial service revenue from HolyGrail 2.0 recycling projects, as that work was previously completed. Total revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $7.6 million compared to $9.4 million for the first quarter of 2025. ARR(1) as of March 31, 2026 was $15.0 million compared to $20.0 million as of March 31, 2025. The decrease primarily reflects the expiration of two commercial contracts, one in April 2025 that accounted for a total of $3.7 million of ARR and the other in October 2025 that accounted for $3.1 million of ARR, partially offset by $1.8 million of net increases to ARR from new and existing commercial contracts. Gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 60% compared to 65% for the first quarter of 2025. Subscription gross profit margin(2) increased to 90% from 86% and service gross profit margin(2) decreased to 57% from 65% for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 83% compared to 81% for the first quarter of 2025. Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $11.7 million compared to $18.2 million for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease primarily reflects $4.2 million of lower cash compensation costs largely due to lower headcount and $3.2 million of lower cash severance costs resulting from the reduction in force in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by $1.0 million of legal costs associated with the corporate reorganization. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $8.1 million compared to $16.5 million for the first quarter of 2025. Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $7.0 million or ($0.32) per diluted share compared to $11.7 million or ($0.55) per diluted share for the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $1.6 million or ($0.07) per diluted share compared to $8.5 million or ($0.40) per diluted share for the first quarter of 2025. At March 31, 2026, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $10.0 million compared to $12.9 million at December 31, 2025. Free cash flow usage for the first quarter of 2026 was $2.0 million compared to $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2025. ________ (1) Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is a company performance metric calculated as the aggregation of annualized subscription fees from all of our commercial contracts as of the measurement date. (2) Cost of revenue, Gross profit and Gross profit margin for Subscription and Service excludes amortization expense on acquired intangible assets.

See below for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. These non-GAAP financial measures are an important measure of our operating performance because they allow management, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess our core operating results from period-to-period after removing non-cash and non-recurring activities that affect comparability. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Digimarc believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures, together with the reconciliation to GAAP, helps management and investors make comparisons between us and other companies. In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non-GAAP measures to evaluate their financial performance. Investors should pay close attention to the specific definition being used and to the reconciliation between such measures and the corresponding GAAP measures provided by each company under applicable SEC rules. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. In order to facilitate a clear understanding of its consolidated historical operating results, investors should examine Digimarc’s non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with its historical GAAP financial information, and investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental to, and should not be considered as alternatives to, GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be indicative of the historical operating results of the Company nor are they intended to be predictive of potential future results.

Business Wire
Company achieves non-GAAP net income and positive free cash flow in Q4
Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC) reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
“Digimarc is capitalizing on the convergence of key trends driving increased demand for our solutions, positioning ourselves to benefit from - not be the casualty of - the relentless advance of AI," said Riley McCormack, Digimarc CEO. "In Q4 2025, we achieved both positive non-GAAP net income and positive free cash flow. Looking ahead to 2026, we expect to generate significant ARR growth."
Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Subscription revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $5.3 million compared to $5.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase reflects $1.4 million of patent license fees earned during the quarter and higher subscription revenue from new and existing commercial contracts, partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease relating to the expiration of two previously disclosed commercial contracts in 2025.
Service revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $3.6 million compared to $3.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $8.9 million compared to $8.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Annual recurring revenue (ARR1) as of December 31, 2025, was $13.7 million compared to $20.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease reflects the expiration of two previously disclosed commercial contracts, a $3.5 million contract in April 2025 and a $3.1 million contract in October 2025, partially offset by a net increase in ARR from new and existing commercial contracts.
Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 64% compared to 61% for the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding amortization expense on acquired intangible assets, subscription gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased to 90% from 85% for the fourth quarter of 2024, while service gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased to 57% from 59% for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Non-GAAP gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 84% compared to 78% for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $10.0 million compared to $14.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease reflects lower cash compensation costs of $4.4 million, largely due to lower headcount, and lower professional services costs of $0.6 million, partially offset by higher stock compensation costs of $0.7 million.
Non-GAAP operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $6.5 million compared to $11.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $4.2 million or ($0.19) per diluted share compared to $8.6 million or ($0.40) per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $1.0 million or $0.05 per diluted share compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $4.6 million or ($0.22) per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2024.
At December 31, 2025, cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $12.9 million compared to $28.7 million at December 31, 2024. Free cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2025 was positive $0.7 million compared to negative $4.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results
Subscription revenue for fiscal year 2025 was $19.8 million compared to $22.4 million for fiscal year 2024. The decrease reflects a $4.8 million decrease from the expiration of three previously disclosed commercial contracts, partially offset by higher subscription revenue from new and existing commercial contracts.
Service revenue for fiscal year 2025 was $14.1 million compared to $16.0 million for fiscal year 2024. The decrease reflects a $1.8 million lower budget from the Central Banks for program work in 2025 compared to 2024.
Total revenue for fiscal year 2025 was $33.9 million compared to $38.4 million for fiscal year 2024.
Gross profit margin for fiscal year 2025 was 62% compared to 63% for fiscal year 2024. Excluding amortization expense on acquired intangible assets, subscription gross profit margin and service gross profit margin were largely unchanged from fiscal year 2024 to fiscal year 2025.
Non-GAAP gross profit margin for the fiscal year 2025 was 81% compared to 79% for fiscal year 2024.
Operating expenses for fiscal year 2025 were $54.1 million compared to $65.5 million for fiscal year 2024. The decrease reflects lower cash compensation costs of $12.6 million, software and hardware costs of $0.9 million, and marketing spend of $0.8 million, partially offset by increased stock compensation costs of $1.5 million and legal expenses of $1.0 million. Fiscal year 2025 operating expenses included $3.2 million of cash severance costs related to the corporate reorganization in February 2025.
Non-GAAP operating expenses for fiscal year 2025 were $40.5 million compared to $53.8 million for fiscal year 2024.
Net loss for fiscal year 2025 was $32.3 million or ($1.49) per diluted share compared to $39.0 million or ($1.83) per diluted share for fiscal year 2024.
Non-GAAP net loss for fiscal year 2025 was $12.1 million or ($0.56) per diluted share compared to $21.1 million or ($0.99) per diluted share for fiscal year 2024.

Digimarc: The Revenue Begins
Jul. 6, 2017
Watermarked products are on shelves at Wal-Mart.
Virtually all major retailers have expressed interest.
Amazon's Whole Foods acquisition will speed adoption.
About two years ago, with Digimarc (DMRC) trading around $40 per share and Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) dropping hints about collaborating with the company, I concluded an article by writing, "a move from $40 to $200 is still good whether it happens in a matter of months or after several years."
Today, shares are trading around $40 per share again, but Wal-Mart is no longer being so coy. You can go to a store right now and scan some of their Great Value brand items using the Digimarc Discover app to observe Digimarc technology at work.
For people new to this story, what you see in the above video is the most salient application for Digimarc's patented watermarking technology. Those packages, while still carrying a traditional barcode, have been imperceptibly modified so that they are scannable in their entirety. This saves time at checkout, creates efficiencies throughout the supply chain, and creates an opportunity for effortless consumer engagement.
These time savings represent billions to retailers, and to answer a common question: No, the benefits don't accrue only after a critical mass of watermarking is achieved. Even if a cashier or warehouse worker is oblivious to the technology they are working with, the items will still scan faster as workers reorient them in search of the visible bar code.
The benefit to brands is harder to quantify, but Digimarc management has expressed surprise at the rate at which they've been approached by consumer packaged good (CPG) companies who are not waiting to feel pressured by retailers to make their move.
Solidifying the appeal of the solution is the pricing. Digimarc will be charging all but the largest companies a recurring $50 per shop keeping unit (SKU), which for the benefits gained, should create a great return on investment.
In fact, Digimarc has something of a Goldilocks solution. RFID can do something similar, but companies incur a higher cost to implement that solution since each item produced comes with an incremental expense. Wrapping a product in visible barcodes can get around the cost issue, but companies are not keen on having their brand crisscrossed with long black stripes.
Evidence for industry interest in Digimarc's technology comes directly from management who mentioned during their Q4 conference call, "We have some level of engagement with all of the top 10 retailers in the world and six of the top 10 CPGs. These relationships range from discussion of pilots to contract small volume production." These are in addition to ongoing fully operational roll outs with smaller grocers Wegman's and New Seasons.
When exactly Digimarc will begin converting talks and pilots into dollars is not totally clear, but the most recent call provided some encouraging color. Management disclosed, "This is the second master services agreement we have entered into with a top 10 retailer. The other relationship is further along and involves lots of moving parts and is taking some time to mature." In other words, talks haven't stalled with the big retailers. Signatures have been placed on the dotted line and now Digimarc just has to hit certain milestones.
Independent of this information, Digimarc has been disclosing bookings for a few quarters and finished 2016 with $1.8 million-a number that is symbolically, if not statistically significant.
If there was any doubt as to whether Wal-Mart was one of the two initial signers of the master services agreements, one need to look no further than Digimarc's jobs page:
So what are these master services agreements worth? From a few hundred thousand per year up to maybe a million? It's hard to say, but it's also not terribly important. Digimarc is not poised to succeed on have a couple of monstrous contracts but rather a bounty of small and medium sized ones. The list of supermarket chains alone, many of which have their own store brand, is enormous. This is to say nothing of CPG companies which could have one or tens of thousands of SKUs. Having the biggest names in the business on board is important mostly in terms of putting the smaller players in the industry on notice and creating a fast followers effect.
Once the reactive players begin to adopt, there is the potential for rapid acceleration. Management is fond of pointing out that the total addressable market in terms of SKUs is in the hundreds of millions. Obviously, Digimarc will never capture 100% of that, and capturing the first few percentage points will take time, but even so.... the opportunity relative to the company's current market cap of around $400 million is significant. Two million SKUs at $50 per year is $100 million of high margin and recurring revenue, and from there the potential begins to get downright preposterous.
Most recently, management estimated that the number of partners they have who have begun some sort of production using their technology to be, "probably 30 to 50." Significantly, there appear to be several heavy hitters in the bunch besides Wal-Mart with people scanning activated brand labels on grocery store shelves for Dr. Pepper, Smuckers, and Procter & Gamble. In fact, a secondary benefit to owning shares of DMRC may be that trips to the grocery store become Easter egg hunts for watermarked items.
Looping back to my quote from two years prior, things have taken awhile and they will most likely continue to creep rather than sprint (whether share price will do the same is another issue.) That being said, management has been learning as things have moved forward and are applying their new knowledge to help speed up the process.
Most dramatically, Digimarc has pushed against the idea that companies all need to run their own studies. This has led to national commissions in Germany and Japan where businesses can coordinate their testing and cut down on time to market. Signs point to things going well in these regions, as if one refers back to the job postings earlier in the article, they will see that local sales staff is about to be put in place.
Additionally, during the passage of those two years, stores of all sorts have continued to upgrade their scanning technology from laser based to image based, enabling the recognition of invisible watermarking. This is in accordance with the recommendation of GS1 the independent organization that manages barcoding systems. The shift is not happening because of Digimarc specifically, but the company is a happy beneficiary.
A final catalyst that should shorten the timeline of widespread adoption of digital watermarking is Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) acquisition of Whole Foods (NASDAQ:WFM). The conventional wisdom is that retailers who may have been tentative about taking the plunge suddenly see themselves in a more 'adapt or die' type situation as the online retailer brings its ruthless efficiency to their doorstep. Needless to say, there should be some interesting insights regarding sentiment during the Q2 call.
Consumer packaged goods companies may not feel the pressure of Amazon, but they have their own incentive to cross over approaching as new nutritional labeling requirements eventually go into effect. If a company must update their packaging anyway, the logic goes, that's the opportune time to embrace the invisible barcode.
There are other things to like about Digimarc that extend beyond this application or even this technology. They watermark audio, prevent eBook piracy, have a legacy business that protects US currency, and own a host of patents that in the past they have licensed as a means of generating revenue. Close partnerships with HP and Shazam, among a host of others, add major names and demonstrate the breadth of their ecosystem. Finally, an examination of their balance sheet will show they carry no debt, and have a multi year runway of cash on hand.
But the invisible barcode dwarfs these in terms of opportunity and so has been the focus here.
Two years ago Digimarc was a 'not if but when' type play. Now, there are a known two million in bookings that will be hitting the top line soon, and from there the initial master services agreements along with drips and drabs from other retailers and CPGs should begin to snowball. It's no longer about the when, it's about how much. And signals from management and store shelves are indicating that the answer will be a very large number.

Digimarc Reports First Quarter 2014 Financial Results
Marketwired Digimarc Corporation
April 23, 2014 4:05 PM
BEAVERTON, OR--(Marketwired - Apr 23, 2014) - Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC) reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
First Quarter 2014 Results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $7.2 million compared to $10.2 million in the first quarter of 2013. The decrease was primarily due to the end of the scheduled minimum quarterly license fee payments from Intellectual Ventures (IV) in the second quarter of 2013. The comparative decline was partially offset by increased royalty revenue from other licensees.
Operating loss for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $3.3 million compared to operating income of $1.6 million in the same quarter a year-ago. The operating loss was primarily due to lower revenue and increased investment in the company's ongoing product development and sales growth initiatives, mainly focused around Digimarc Discover and Barcode.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $2.0 million or $(0.29) per diluted share compared to net income of $1.0 million or $0.13 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2013.
At March 31, 2014, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $32.3 million compared to $35.0 million at December 31, 2013.
Conference Call
Digimarc will hold a conference call later today (Wednesday, April 23, 2014) to discuss these results. Management will also provide an update on market conditions and execution of strategy.
