Research Solutions (NASDAQ:RSSS – Get Free Report) released its earnings results on Thursday. The company reported $0.03 earnings per share for the quarter, missing analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.04 by ($0.01), FiscalAI reports. The firm had revenue of $12.12 million for the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $12.37 million. Research Solutions had a net margin of 7.87% and a return on equity of 26.71%.
Here are the key takeaways from Research Solutions’ conference call:
- Research Solutions reported improving EBITDA and net income in fiscal Q3, with adjusted EBITDA up 14% year over year to $1.6 million and net income rising to $860,000.
- Revenue missed management’s expectations, as total revenue fell to $12.1 million from $12.7 million a year ago because platform subscription growth was more than offset by lower-margin transaction declines.
- Platform subscription revenue continues to grow, increasing about 7% to $5.2 million, and platform mix rose to 43% of total revenue from 38% last year, supporting higher gross margins.
- B2B churn remains the main drag on top-line growth, with 46 logos churning in the quarter versus 61 new or upsell logos, although management said most churn is controllable and not tied to AI usage.
- The company highlighted AI-driven product momentum, including new MCP connectors for Scite and Article Galaxy, improved B2C retention, and a sales pipeline of more than $1 million for these new offerings.
