DHI Group Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights Compared to the Fourth Quarter 2024 (1)
Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights Compared to Full Year 2024 (1)
(1) See definition of bookings and see “Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” related to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share, and Free Cash Flow, later in this press release.
Commenting on the results, Art Zeile, President and CEO of DHI Group, said:
“This quarter's results demonstrate the strength of our subscription-based model and the durable value of our ClearanceJobs and Dice platforms. ClearanceJobs achieved a key inflection point, returning to year-over-year bookings growth, supported by the early stages of defense hiring tailwinds and strong execution. AgileATS is performing ahead of expectations and expands the strategic scope of the ClearanceJobs platform as part of our growth strategy. While Dice continues to face a challenging commercial tech hiring environment, our ongoing platform modernization and AI-driven differentiation position us well for recovery. Supported by strong margins and resilient recurring revenue, we remain focused on delivering long-term profitable growth and creating shareholder value through free cash flow generation.”
Greg Schippers, CFO of DHI Group, commented:
“During the quarter, ClearanceJobs returned to bookings growth, and we believe the expected record defense budget will be a meaningful catalyst for continued momentum in 2026. More broadly, we expect organizations across industries will increase investment in technology initiatives, creating attractive growth opportunities for both ClearanceJobs and Dice. We remain focused on enhancing our industry-leading solutions, sharpening our go-to-market execution, and operating with discipline and efficiency to drive margin performance and free cash flow. Reflecting confidence in the business and our commitment to delivering shareholder value, our Board approved a new $10 million share repurchase program, which will commence this month and run through February 2027.”

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and oral statements made from time to time by our representatives contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You should not place undue reliance on those statements because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, information concerning our possible or assumed future financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, including expectations (financial or otherwise), our strategy, plans, objectives, and intentions, growth potential, and statements regarding our financial outlook. These statements often include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” "target" or similar expressions. These statements are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, our ability to execute our tech-focused strategy, a write-off of all or a part of our goodwill and intangible assets, backlog not accurately representing future revenue, competition from existing and future competitors in the highly competitive markets in which we operate, failure to adapt our business model to keep pace with rapid changes in the recruiting and career services business and the development of new products and services, macroeconomic conditions, including government shutdowns, the impact of initiatives to restructuring or streamlining government agencies, such as DOGE, the risk that AI models will reduce demand for technology professionals in the workforce, failure to maintain and develop our reputation and brand recognition, failure to increase or maintain the number of customers who purchase recruitment packages, failure to attract qualified professionals to our websites or grow the number of qualified professionals who use our websites, inability to successfully integrate future acquisitions or identify and consummate future acquisitions, misappropriation or misuse of our intellectual property, claims against us for intellectual property infringement or failure to enforce our ownership of intellectual property, failure to attract and retain users who create and post original content on our web properties, taxation risks in various jurisdictions and the potential for unfavorable decisions related to tax assessments, taxation risks impacting our liability or past sales, and ability to make future sales, downturns in our customers' businesses, our indebtedness and our ability to borrow funds under our revolving credit facility or refinance our indebtedness, restrictions on our current and future operations under such indebtedness, development and use of artificial intelligence, failure to timely and efficiently scale, adapt and maintain our technology and infrastructure, capacity constraints, system failures or breaches of network security, usefulness of our candidate profiles to our customers, decreases in our user engagement, changes in search engines’ methodologies, failure to halt operations of third-party websites aggregating our data, reliance on third-party hosting facilities, our compliance with laws and regulations, U.S. and foreign government regulation of the Internet and taxation, failure to attract or retain key executives and personnel, our ability to navigate the cyclicality or downturns of the U.S. and worldwide economies, litigation related to infringement or other claims regarding our services or content, our ability to defend ownership of our intellectual property, global climate change, compliance with the continued listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, volatility in our stock price, differences between estimates of financial projections and future results, failure to maintain controls over financial reporting, results of operations fluctuating on a quarterly and annual basis, our Section 382 Rights Plan may have an anti-takeover effect, and anti-takeover provisions in our governing documents may make changes to management difficult, and disruption resulting from unsolicited offers to purchase the company. These factors and others are discussed in more detail in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are available on the Investors page of our website at www.dhigroupinc.com, including the Company’s most recently filed reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and subsequent filings under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by the Company or its representatives herein, or elsewhere, speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible to predict these events or how they may affect us. We have no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof, except as required by applicable federal securities laws.
Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information as additional information for its operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or alternatives to, measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, and non-GAAP Earnings Per Share provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company’s management uses these measures for reviewing the financial results of the Company and for budgeting and planning purposes. Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of items that management believes affect the comparability or underlying business trends in our condensed consolidated financial statements in the periods presented. The non-GAAP measures apply to consolidated results or other measures as shown within this document. The Company has provided required reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures elsewhere in the document.
Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share
Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share is a non-GAAP performance measure that management believes is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in the analysis of operating trends. Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share is computed as diluted earnings per share plus or minus the impacts of certain non-cash and other items, including non-cash stock-based compensation, impairments, costs related to reorganizing the Company, including severance and related costs, gains or losses on investments, restructuring charges, and discrete tax items.
Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to diluted earnings per share, net income, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our profitability.
Free Cash Flow
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus fixed asset purchases. We believe free cash flow is an important non-GAAP measure for investors as it provides useful cash flow information regarding our ability to service, incur or pay down indebtedness or repurchase our common stock. Management uses free cash flow as a measure to reflect cash available to service our debt as well as to fund our expenditures. A limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities is that free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance from operations for the period since it includes cash used for fixed asset purchases during the period.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures used by management to measure operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as performance measures for internal monitoring and planning, including preparation of annual budgets, analyzing investment decisions and evaluating profitability and performance comparisons between us and our competitors. The Company also uses these measures to calculate amounts of performance-based compensation under the senior management incentive bonus program. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income plus (to the extent deducted in calculating such net income) interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and items such as non-cash stock-based compensation, certain write-offs in connection with indebtedness, impairment charges with respect to long-lived assets, expenses incurred in connection with an equity offering or any other offering of securities by the Company, extraordinary or non-recurring non-cash expenses or losses, losses from equity method investments, transaction costs in connection with the credit agreement, deferred revenue written off in connection with acquisition purchase accounting adjustments, write-off of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, severance and retention costs related to dispositions and reorganizations of the Company, impairment of investment and goodwill, restructuring charges and losses related to legal claims and fees that are unusual in nature or infrequent, minus (to the extent included in calculating such net income) non-cash income or gains, including income from equity method investments, interest income, business interruption insurance proceeds, and gains related to legal claims that are unusual in nature or infrequent.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is computed as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
We also consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as defined above, to be important indicators to investors because they provide information related to our ability to provide cash flows to meet future debt service, capital expenditures, working capital requirements, and to fund future growth. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as supplemental performance measures because we believe that these measures provide our board of directors, management and investors with additional information to measure our performance, provide comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense) and tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses), and to estimate our value.
We understand that although Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our liquidity or results as reported under GAAP. Some limitations are:
To compensate for these limitations, management evaluates our liquidity by considering the economic effect of excluded expense items independently, as well as in connection with its analysis of cash flows from operations and through the use of other financial measures, such as capital expenditure budget variances, investment spending levels and return on capital analysis.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue, operating income, net income, net income margin, cash provided by operating activities, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our profitability or liquidity.

(1) For the three months ended December 31, 2025, net income and diluted earnings per share includes the net negative impact of non-cash stock-based compensation, impairments, and severance, professional fees, and related costs of $3.3 million ($2.7 million net of tax) and discrete tax items of $(0.1) million, resulting in a net negative impact of $2.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, net income and diluted earnings per share includes the net negative impact of non-cash stock-based compensation, loss on investment, and severance, professional fees, and related costs of $3.1 million ($2.4 million net of tax) and discrete tax items of $(0.1) million, resulting in a net negative impact of $2.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.
(2) Net income (loss) margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are calculated by dividing the respective measure by that period's revenue.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net income and diluted earnings per share includes the net negative impact of non-cash stock-based compensation, restructuring, impairments, gain on investment, and severance, professional fees, and related costs of $11.2 million ($8.5 million net of tax) and discrete tax items of $2.3 million, resulting in a net negative impact of $10.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share.

(1) Non-GAAP adjustment is presented on a gross basis, which excludes the impact of income taxes.
(2) The Company utilized a federal rate plus a net state rate that excluded the impact of share-based compensation awards and other discrete items to calculate its non-GAAP blended statutory income tax rate of 25% for all periods presented. The non-GAAP rate has been applied to compute the tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments.
(3) Discrete tax items resulted from the tax impacts of share-based compensation awards and state taxes related to research and development expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2024.
(4) Adjusts, as applicable, for the share impact of common stock equivalents, where dilutive, and for the impacts of rounding.

Guidance
Earlier in this press release, the Company provided guidance for Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We are unable to reconcile expected Adjusted EBITDA margin to its nearest GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of items such as non-cash stock-based compensation, impairments, income tax expense, gains or losses from equity method investments, severance, professional fees and related costs, and restructuring charges. By their very nature, these items are difficult to anticipate with precision because they are generally associated with unexpected and unplanned events that impact our company and its financial results. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts.
