ACCESS Newswire reports Q2 revenue of $5.6 million, a 5% sequential increase

ACCESS Newswire reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $5.6 million, a 5% sequential increase from $5.3 million in the first quarter, driven by seasonal press release volume. Core press release revenue grew 2% year over year to $4.1 million, while average annual recurring revenue per subscription customer rose 15% to $12,718. Gross margin declined to 73% from 76% a year earlier due to higher distribution costs, and the company posted a GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $354,000, or $0.09 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA was $600,000, or 11% of revenue, down from $800,000 a year ago. The company repurchased 40,000 shares for $300,000 during the quarter and ended with a cash balance of $3 million.
