Consensus Cloud Solutions Reports Strong Buyback and Revenue Growth, But Core Earnings Remain Flat
On August 6, Consensus Cloud Solutions (NASDAQ:CCSI) reported second-quarter results showing a revenue increase of 4.1% to $91.4 million and net income growth of 31.7% to $27.4 million. The company also announced it had doubled its stock buyback authorization from $100 million to $200 million, reflecting confidence in returning value to shareholders.

Adjusted EBITDA remained nearly flat at $48.3 million compared to last year and adjusted net income showed minimal growth as well. The corporate segment drove most revenue gains with 9.3% growth, while the small office/home office business declined by 4.7%, a strategic pullback. The company reaffirmed its full-year guidance for $357 million in revenue and maintained third-quarter expectations at around $91.2 million despite plans to accelerate hiring.
