Gaia Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
BOULDER, CO – August 10, 2026 - Gaia, Inc. (NASDAQ: GAIA), a conscious media and community company, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Second Quarter 2026 Summary vs Second Quarter 2025 (where applicable)
•
Revenue was $23.3 million compared to $24.6 million, of which international revenue decreased $1.6 million.
•
Annualized gross profit per employee for the quarter increased to $819,000.
Management Commentary
“Our second quarter results reflect the deliberate trade-off we outlined last quarter—prioritizing the long-term quality and value of our direct member base over near-term results,” said Kiersten Medvedich, Chief Executive Officer of Gaia. “While that transition, combined with increased advertising costs, pressured our top line, we've moved quickly to bring costs back in line. At the same time, we're seeing real traction in new content initiatives that drive daily engagement, from our new AI powered features. We remain confident in this strategy and are focused on returning to positive free cash flow in the fourth quarter.”
Gaia CFO, Ned Preston, stated: “The seasonality of our annual member renewals impacted our cash inflows by $2.4 million. This, together with lower revenue and higher marketing costs, brought our operating cash flow for the second quarter to $(5.4) million.”
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Revenue decreased 5% to $23.3 million, compared to $24.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, due to lower revenue from lower quality subscribers and lower ARPU regions. The decrease also reflects the impact of the company’s shift in its marketing strategy, which includes a disciplined approach to discounting and a movement towards direct and higher ARPU member acquisition.
Gross margin was 85.3% compared to 86.7% year ago, primarily attributable to lower revenue, while content-related costs remained relatively consistent.
Net loss was $(3.0) million, or $(0.12) per share, versus $(1.8) million or $(0.07) per share, in the second quarter of 2025.
Gaia’s cash balance as of June 30, 2026, was $5.3million, with a fully available $10 million line of credit.
