— Revenue of $23.9 million, up 13% year-over-year

— Consolidated operating profit of $2.1 million

— Non-GAAP consolidated operating profit of $2.4 million

— Cash flow from operations of $1.3 million

— Earnings per share (EPS) of $0.12

Travelzoo, the club for travel enthusiasts, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June30, 2025. Consolidated revenue was $23.9 million, up 13% from $21.1 million year-over-year. In constant currencies, revenue was $23.5 million, up 12%year-over-year. Travelzoo's reported revenue consists of advertising and commerce revenues, derived from and generated in connection with purchases made by Travelzoo members, and membership fees.

In Q2, Travelzoo invested significantly in acquiring more Club Members when we saw that we can achieve a payback and positive return on investment (ROI) within the quarter. Marketing costs were expensed immediately. Membership fees revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period of 12 months. The effect is a sizable reduction in EPS. We refer to our investor presentation.

Net income attributable to Travelzoo was $1.4 million for Q2 2025, or $0.12 per share, compared with $0.23 per share in the prior-year period.

Non-GAAP operating profit was $2.4 million. Non-GAAP operating profit excludes amortization of intangibles ($16,000), stock option expenses ($339,000), and severance-related expenses ($6,000). Please refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tabular reconciliation below.

“We will continue to leverage Travelzoo's global reach, trusted brand, and strong relationships with top travel suppliers to negotiate more Club Offers for Club Members and add new benefits, such as our popular complementary airport lounge access worldwide in case of a delayed flight,” said Holger Bartel, Travelzoo's Global CEO. “Travelzoo members are affluent, active, and open to new experiences. We inspire travel enthusiasts to travel to places they never imagined they could. Travelzoo is the must-have membership for those who love to travel as much as we do.”

Travelzoo North America

North America business segment revenue increased 14% year-over-year to $16.1 million. Operating profit for Q2 2025 was $2.8 million, or 17% of revenue, compared to operating profit of $3.7 million or 26% of revenue in the prior-year period.

Travelzoo Europe

Europe business segment revenue increased 7% year-over-year to $6.4 million. Operating loss for Q2 2025 was $883,000, or 14% of revenue, compared to operating profit of $512,000, or 9% of revenue in the prior-year period. The reported operating loss occurred because we acquired more Club Members.

Jack's Flight Club

Jack's Flight Club is a membership subscription service in which Travelzoo has a 60% ownership interest. Revenue increased 33% year-over-year to $1.4 million. The number of premium subscribers increased 15% year-over-year. Jack's Flight Club's revenue from subscriptions is recognized ratably over the subscription period (quarterly, semi-annually, annually). Operating profit for Q2 2025was $156,000, compared to an operating loss of $34,000 in the prior-year period.

New Initiatives

New Initiatives business segment revenue, which includes Licensing and Travelzoo META, was $19,000. Operating loss for Q2 2025 was $31,000.

In 2020, Travelzoo entered into royalty-bearing licensing agreements with local licensees for the exclusive use of Travelzoo's brand, business model, and members in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and Singapore. Under these arrangements, Travelzoo's existing members in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and Singapore will continue to be owned by us as the licensor. Licensing revenue from the licensee in Australia was $10,000 for Q2 2025. Licensing revenue from the licensee in Japan was $7,000 for in Q2 2025. Licensing revenue is expected to increase going forward.

Reach

Travelzoo reaches 30 million travelers. This includes Jack's Flight Club. Comparisons to prior periods are no longer meaningful due to strategic developments of the Travelzoo membership.

Income Taxes

The reported income tax provision and reserves for Q2 2025 are $740,000. Travelzoo intends to utilize available net operating losses (NOLs) to largely offset its tax liability for Q2 2025.

Balance Sheet

Deferred revenue increased and is expected to continue to increase as membership fees revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period.

As of June 30, 2025, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $11.2 million. Cash flow from operations was $1.3 million.

Share Repurchase Program

During Q2 2025, the Company repurchased 172,088 shares of its outstanding common stock.

Looking Ahead

For Q3 2025, we expect year-over-year revenue growth to continue. We expect revenue growth to accelerate as a trend in subsequent quarters, as membership fees revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period of 12 months, as we acquire new members, and as more Legacy Members become Club Members. Over time, we expect profitability to substantially increase as recurring membership fees revenue will be recognized. In the short-term, fluctuations in reported net income are possible. We might see attractive opportunities to increase marketing. We expense marketing costs immediately.

In 2024, we introduced a membership fee for Travelzoo. Legacy Members, who joined prior to 2024, continue to receive certain travel offers. However, Club Offers and new benefits are only available to Club Members, who pay the membership fee. Therefore, we are seeing many Legacy Members become Club Members over time-in addition to new members who join.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management calculates non-GAAP operating income when evaluating the financial performance of the business. Calculation of non-GAAP operating income, also called “non-GAAP operating profit” in this press release and today's earnings conference call, excludes the following items: amortization of intangibles, stock option expenses, and severance-related expenses. This press release includes a table which reconciles GAAP operating income to the calculation of non-GAAP operating income. Non-GAAP operating income is not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
