The acquisition of CDM is anticipated to provide synergies of at least $10 million annually by the end of 2026, a significant boost to Creative Realities' bottom line.

The acquisition marks a significant milestone for Creative Realities, as it strengthens the company's position to capitalize on the growing retail media network market across North America.

Despite facing some challenges in Q3 2025, with revenue and gross profit declining year-over-year, Creative Realities remains optimistic about its future prospects. The company has a strong pipeline of opportunities and expects to see higher topline performance and improved bottom-line results in the coming quarters.
