LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inuvo, Inc. (NYSE:INUV), a leading provider of artificial intelligence-driven data and advertising technology solutions, today reported preliminary unaudited revenue results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025.

The Company expects fourth-quarter 2025 net revenue to be approximately $14 million, representing an approximate 47% decrease compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The shortfall was driven primarily by an intentional pullback in the Platform product line. The Company expects net revenue for full-year 2025 to be approximately $86 million, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 3%.

"During the quarter, we prioritized advertising quality, scalability, and compliance over short-term volume, leading to a near-term reduction in revenue," said Rich Howe, Chief Executive Officer. "While we had flagged challenges on our Q3 conference call, the impact ended up greater and more prolonged than expected, extending through Q4 and into January. The steps we have taken were essential for the long-term success of our Platform product line, positioning it for durable, defensible growth. We have reason to believe that revenue will recover in the months ahead."

Inuvo expects to report its full fourth-quarter and year-end 2025 financial results on its regularly scheduled release of quarterly results and conference call on March 5, 2026.

The financial information and results in this press release are preliminary and have been prepared internally by management based on the best information currently available to the Company and are subject to completion of the fourth quarter and full year financial statements and audit by our independent registered public accounting firm. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from the preliminary financial information presented herein and such changes could be material. This preliminary financial data should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
