1.b. Last Insights on IPDN

Professional Diversity Network, Inc.'s recent performance was hindered by a decline in revenue, primarily due to a 14.1% year-over-year decrease in revenue from its online and in-person networks. The company's financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, revealed a significant drop in revenue, which was not offset by any notable cost savings or efficiency gains. Furthermore, the launch of Clearance Match, a new product by Expo Experts, a sub-brand of TalentAlly, may have diverted resources away from core business operations, potentially exacerbating the revenue decline.
