ZipRecruiter® (NYSE: ZIP), a leading online employment marketplace, today announced financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. ZipRecruiter’s complete fourth quarter and full year 2025 results, financial guidance, and management commentary can be found by accessing ZipRecruiter’s shareholder letter on the quarterly results page of the Investor Relations website at investors.ziprecruiter.com.

“ZipRecruiter maintained its momentum to close 2025 despite a soft hiring market, achieving year-over-year revenue growth in the fourth quarter and exceeding its Adjusted EBITDA expectations for the full year. This performance is a testament to ZipRecruiter’s execution in a weaker labor market,” said Ian Siegel, CEO of ZipRecruiter. “We are entering 2026 with an even stronger product portfolio, with recently launched 'Be Seen First' and improved AI-powered solutions that increase candidate engagement. As we navigate 2026, we are maintaining a disciplined cost structure while investing in the next generation of hiring technology. We remain confident that ZipRecruiter is well-positioned to define the future of recruiting in the AI era and capture growth as labor market conditions normalize.”

Chief Financial Officer Transition

Tim Yarbrough, Chief Financial Officer, announced he will be leaving the company to pursue another opportunity. David Travers will assume the role of interim Chief Financial Officer, effective Thursday, February 26th.

“On behalf of the Board and the entire ZipRecruiter team, I want to thank Tim for his many years of dedicated service and the meaningful contributions he has made to our company. He has helped ZipRecruiter maintain financial strength through a challenging hiring environment, and we wish him continued success in his next opportunity,” said Siegel. “We are pleased that Dave Travers will be stepping into the role of interim Chief Financial Officer. Dave previously served as Chief Financial Officer at ZipRecruiter and brings deep familiarity with our financial operations. We have also initiated a comprehensive search to identify our next Chief Financial Officer.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income (loss) before interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue for the same period.

Management and our board of directors use these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of our performance because they assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of some items not directly resulting from our core operations. We also use these non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections, to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our strategic initiatives and to evaluate our capacity for capital expenditures to expand our business.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or superior to net income (loss), revenue, cash flows or other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is an appropriate measure of operating performance because they eliminate the impact of some expenses that do not relate directly to the performance of our underlying business.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or other items. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as they do not reflect our tax payments and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future, including, among other things, cash requirements for costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. Management compensates for these limitations by relying on our GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental measures of our performance. Our measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin used herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.
