Company Sees FY26 Adjusted EBITDA of $75M-$80M

Sees FY26 adjusted EBITDA $75M-$80M; free cash flow at least $60M. "We are maintaining our full-year outlook. Revenue was roughly flat in the first half, and our outlook implies second-half growth of approximately 6% at the low end of the range and approximately 10% at the high end. The third quarter has started on an encouraging note, with growth improving in July to mid-single digits, a strong acceleration from the second quarter. We expect the pace of growth to accelerate through the balance of the year, supported by easier year-over-year comparisons, additional marketing investment, and increasing contribution from our strategic bets, in order of relative importance. The acceleration our outlook required runs ahead of our current pace, and a slower ramp across these drivers would affect our ability to reach it. Taking a step back, we are confident in achieving our fourth consecutive year of improving revenue growth. We finished the second quarter with Adjusted EBITDA at the high end of our guidance and a top line accelerating as we start Q3. Our focus in the second half is converting operating progress into reported growth: completing the platform rollout worldwide, strengthening our reach through our organic and paid channels, making the Groupon experience more personal and more relevant, and building a curated marketplace with trust at its core. Project Foundry is the engine underneath all of it, and we expect our entire organization to be working AI-native by default by the end of 2026. We are grateful for the continued support of our shareholders and the dedication of our team as we execute against the opportunity in front of us."
