Fourth quarter profitability more than offset earlier quarters during the year and highlights the scalability of the Kidoz platform. Revenue for the quarter represented a new quarterly high, supported by continued expansion of direct brand and agency relationships and strong programmatic momentum. All major infrastructure and technology investments made during 2025 were fully expensed as incurred.

"Q4 2025 was a strong finish to an important year for Kidoz," said Jason Williams, CEO of Kidoz Inc. "We achieved record revenue while continuing to strategically expand our infrastructure, technology, and team. The combination of this quarter's performance and our previously reported quarterly results demonstrate the strength and resilience of the business. We have built a contextual operating system to enable no-identity mobile advertising in mobile gaming, and we have invested to capture what we believe is an enormous growth opportunity for which we are ideally placed."

Our mission is to build a privacy-first advertising platform that global brands can use at scale to acquire new customers and generate meaningful returns on their marketing investment. We believe we are delivering on that mission today, and as we continue to evolve and expand our platform, we intend to define the standard for performance and compliance in this large and rapidly developing market.

Strategic Investment, Programmatic Expansion and Growth Positioning

During 2025, Kidoz made significant growth investments, including R&D infrastructure expansion and strategic hiring across sales, marketing, technology, capital markets, and operations. Headcount increased by approximately 12% during the year to support scaling initiatives and deepen direct-to-brand engagement.

These investments expanded hosting and real-time processing capabilities to support hundreds of billions of data points daily, enabling hyper-targeted, optimized, privacy-first campaign execution delivering on specific brand objectives without reliance on personal identifiers. This strengthened infrastructure positions the Company to operate at scale well beyond its current workload and to support continued growth across both managed and programmatic channels.

Direct brand and agency revenues continue to grow, with an increasing number of campaigns from established household-name partners. At the same time, programmatic revenues experienced strong growth as advertisers increasingly allocate budgets toward compliant, no-identity solutions within mobile gaming via our programmatic infrastructure. The Company's broader all-ages privacy-first offering, delivered across both managed and programmatic channels, continued to scale rapidly alongside its regulated kids-focused business.

Management believes structural industry trends remain supportive. Increasing privacy regulation, the continued shift away from identity-based targeting, youth social media restrictions (e.g. Australia and France), and the maturation of mobile gaming as a premium brand advertising channel continue to create opportunities for the Company for growth. Industry developments promoting greater transparency and fairness in digital advertising further reinforce the advantages of privacy-first, full-stack platforms with diversified exposure across mediation and demand ecosystems.

Looking ahead, management expects to capitalize on its strengthened infrastructure, expanded team, growing direct brand and agency relationships, and accelerating programmatic momentum to drive continued top-line growth and increasing operating leverage from its multi-year R&D commitments.
