Ziff Davis experienced a 1.1% decrease in Q2 revenues to $337.4 million, the company reported on Tuesday.
In addition, there was a GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $46.4 million, up from $23.0 million in Q2 2021.

Ziff Davis has adjusted its guidance for the year. Originally, it forecast revenue of $1,410 million to $1,435 million. But it now expects $1,497 million to $1,535 million, with a higher EBIDTA of $538 million to $555 million.
Meanwhile, the firm reports total revenue of $652.4 million for the year to date, an 0.1% increase YoY. Digital revenue has hit $493 million for the year to date, a 2.6% hike YoY.
