Fluent's second-quarter net loss improved to $6.2M from $7.2M a year earlier, but management again flagged substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Commerce Media Solutions segment surged 90% year-over-year to $30.5M, now accounting for 63% of total revenue, while the legacy Owned and Operated business shrank 24% to $16.3M. Cash dropped to $7.6M from $13.6M at year-end, and the company depends on an uncommitted receivables financing facility with only $2.6M of unused capacity. The ATM program remains untapped, and the convertible notes' fair value rose to $5.2M, adding non-cash losses. While the strategic pivot to Commerce Media is gaining traction, liquidity stays tight and hinges on discretionary lender advances.
