Growth excluding Marigold and political candidate revenue was 30%. That is up from 28% in the prior quarter.
GAAP net income was $38.3 million, compared with a loss of $3.6 million a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA was $121.0 million, a 24.6% margin.
Cash Flow and a Higher Outlook
Operating cash flow was $91.3 million, and free cash flow was $81.5 million. KeyBanc noted that free cash flow growth of 73% outpaced revenue growth.
Zeta raised its 2026 outlook for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and GAAP EPS. Revenue is now expected between $1.853 billion and $1.857 billion.
GAAP EPS guidance is now $0.22 to $0.24. It was the company’s 21st straight “beat and raise” quarter.
Management also gave early guidance for fiscal 2027. It sees organic growth of 20% to 21% excluding political revenue, which Needham called modestly ahead of consensus.
The company says it is nearing some fiscal 2028 targets. It also says it is ahead of schedule on its fiscal 2030 goals.
The Big Customers Lead the Way
Super-scaled customers rose 18% to 212. Their average revenue per user climbed 22% to $2.0 million.
Both figures sped up from the prior quarter and sit ahead of the company’s 2028 model. Zeta credits more adoption and use of Athena.
Zeta also pointed to early traction from its Palantir partnership and strong interest in AthenaOS. A sales pipeline from its Live event looks much bigger than last year.
Needham kept its Buy rating and $40 target. Analyst Scott Berg said the 4.6% revenue beat falls within Zeta’s usual range and points to steady demand.
Truist also lifted its target to $40 with a Buy rating. The stock has gained 89% over the past six months.
On Tuesday, KeyBanc reiterated its Overweight rating and $38 target. The firm said the first pilot tied to the Palantir partnership has become a customer expected to reach super-scaled status in November.
