Digimarc ($DMRC) Misleading Revenue and Contract Renewal Case
S.D. New York
Court1:25-cv-01963
Case number05/02/2024
Class period Start02/26/2025
Class period End05/09/2025
Lead Plaintiff motion deadline- $DMRC investors filed a lawsuit against Digimarc for failing to disclose that a major commercial partner would not renew its contract, significantly impacting revenue.
- After reporting a decline in subscription revenue and annual recurring revenue on February 26, 2025, $DMRC fell 43.1%.
Case Details:
On February 26, 2025, after the market closed, Digimarc ($DMRC) released its Q4 and full-year 2024 financial results, revealing significant revenue declines due to the loss of a key commercial contract.
The company reported that quarterly subscription revenue dropped 10% to $5.0 million, compared to $5.6 million in the previous year. Additionally, annual recurring revenue (ARR) fell to $20.0 million, down from $22.23 million. Digimarc stated that these losses were primarily due to a $5.8 million revenue decline following the expiration of a major commercial contract in June 2024.
For months, Digimarc assured investors of strong revenue growth without revealing that a key commercial partner had no plans to renew its contract under the same terms. Instead of warning about the potential risk, the company presented an overly optimistic financial outlook, leading investors to believe subscription revenue and ARR would remain stable.
When Digimarc finally disclosed the impact of the lost contract, $DMRC plummeted 43.1%
Based on these events, $DMRC investors filed a lawsuit against Digimarc, claiming the company:
- It failed to disclose that a major commercial partner would not renew its contract, leading to a $5.8 million revenue drop.
- It misled investors by providing an overly optimistic financial outlook despite knowing subscription revenue would decline.
Investors believe Digimarc deliberately withheld critical contract renewal information, leading to a stock price collapse once the financial impact became clear.
