NEW YORK, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Travelzoo® (NASDAQ:TZOO):

Revenue of $23.2 million, down 3% year-over-year
Consolidated operating loss of $2.8 million
Non-GAAP consolidated operating loss of $2.1 million
Cash flow from operations of $(1.7) million
Earnings per share (EPS) of $(0.21)

Travelzoo, the club for travel enthusiasts, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Consolidated revenue was $23.2 million, down 3% from $23.9 million year-over-year. In constant currencies, revenue was $23.1 million. Travelzoo's reported revenue consists of advertising revenues and commissions, derived from and generated in connection with purchases made by Travelzoo members, and membership fees.

During Q2, international conflicts created uncertainty among advertisers and travelers. All of Travelzoo's business segments were negatively impacted. Management considers this a temporary effect. In Q2, we continued to invest significantly in growing Club Members and accelerated the shift towards recurring membership revenues. Marketing costs were expensed immediately. Membership fees revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period of 12 months. In Q2, the number of renewals of memberships jumped to the highest ever. Going forward, we expect renewals of memberships to further increase because of a growing base of members. We refer to our investor presentation.

Net Loss attributable to Travelzoo was $2.1 million for Q2 2026, or $(0.21) per share, compared with $0.12 per share in the prior-year period.

Non-GAAP operating loss was $2.1 million. Non-GAAP operating loss excludes stock option expenses ($684,000). 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 complimentary 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 decreased 3% year-over-year to $15.7 million. Operating loss for Q2 2026 was $1.5 million, or 10% of revenue, compared to operating profit of $2.8 million or 17% of revenue in the prior-year period.

Travelzoo Europe

Europe business segment revenue decreased 2% year-over-year to $6.2 million. Operating loss for Q2 2026 was $1.2 million, or 19% of revenue, compared to operating loss of $0.9, or 14% of revenue in the prior-year period.

Jack's Flight Club

Jack's Flight Club is a membership subscription service in which Travelzoo has a 60% ownership interest. Revenue decreased 7% year-over-year to $1.3 million. Jack's Flight Club's revenue from subscriptions is recognized ratably over the subscription period (quarterly, semi-annually, annually). Operating loss for Q2 2026 was $34,000, compared to operating profit of $156,000 in the prior-year period.

New Initiatives

New Initiatives business segment revenue, which includes Licensing and Travelzoo META, was $17,000. Operating loss for Q2 2026 was $35,000.

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 Travelzoo as the licensor. Licensing revenue from the licensee in Australia was $10,000 for Q2 2026. Licensing revenue from the licensee in Japan was $7,000 for Q2 2026. 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 benefit for Q2 2026 was $(382,000).

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2026, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $7.6 million. Cash flow from operations was $(1.7) million.

Deferred revenue increased because membership fees are earned over the subscription period. Membership fees revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period.

Share Repurchase Program

During Q2 2026, the Company repurchased 200,000 shares of its outstanding common stock.

Looking Ahead

For Q3 2026, we expect year-over-year revenue growth. We also expect revenue growth in subsequent quarters, as membership fees revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period of 12 months, as we grow Club Members, and as more Legacy Members become Club Members. Over time, we expect profitability to increase as recurring membership fees revenue will be recognized. In the short-term, fluctuations in reported net income are likely.

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"). This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Conference Call

Travelzoo will host a conference call to discuss second quarter 2026 results today at 11:00 a.m. ET. Please visit http://ir.travelzoo.com/events-presentations to
