ACCS reports Q3 2026 revenue decline but growth in subscription customers

ACCS reported Q3 2026 revenue of $5.5 million, marking a 4% decrease compared to the prior year and a 2% decline from the previous quarter, according to an earnings call transcript reported by AOL.com.

The company experienced a 12% year-over-year decline in core press release volume and a 15% drop compared to the second quarter of 2026, attributed to softer industry conditions.

Despite revenue declines, ACCS's gross margin rose to 75% of revenue, up 2 percentage points from the prior quarter, due to lower distribution costs from variable rate partners.

Adjusted EBITDA was $829,000, representing 15% of revenue for the quarter, while operating loss narrowed to $142,000 from $184,000 in the prior period.

Subscription revenue totaled $3.2 million, making up 60% of total revenue, with average annual recurring revenue per subscribing customer increasing 6% to $12,331 from $11,651 a year ago.

Total active customers grew 14% year over year to 14,134 customers with contracts in the past 12 months, signaling growth in the subscriber base despite overall revenue declines.
