~ Q2 Gross Margin Expansion, Cost Reductions, Strategic Transactions, and Diversified Revenue Initiatives Could Position Super League to Achieve Adjusted EBITDA Positive in Q4 ~ ~ Company Advances Key Financial Initiatives and Broadens Revenue Mix ~ SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Super League (Nasdaq: SLE), a leader in engaging audiences through playable media, content, and experiences within mobile games and the world’s largest immersive platforms, today released second quarter 2025 financial results. Super League Chief Executive Officer, Matt Edelman Commented: “Our second quarter marked a pivotal step forward for Super League as we streamlined our operations, executed key financial transactions, launched innovative partnerships, and re-aligned the company’s focus toward reaching sustainable profitability. Our conviction in the long-term growth opportunity at the intersection of interactive entertainment and playable media remains unwavering, and we continue to position Super League at the forefront of this inspiring, dynamic space. We think of play as a state of mind and body that is central to our mission. While playing, people are engaged mentally and physically, emotionally connected, aspirational, and deeply focused. Our research shows that there are more than 5 billion people in the world who play, with 3.32 billion playing video games. The opportunity for brands to connect with passionate, attentive audiences is immense. Our first-to-market programs in partnership with companies such as Universal Pictures and Panda Express and The Many on Roblox and Fortnite Creative demonstrate how we’re driving measurable brand engagement through immersive, cross-platform activations. Our expanded partnership with Meta Stadiums through their AI-powered TikTok creator monetization platform stands to unlock a powerful new revenue stream. Through the acquisition of Supersocial, we bolstered our brand portfolio. Moving into an exclusive relationship with AdArcade to bring their patented playable ad format across the entire US mobile gaming footprint, coupled with the launch of our Rotrends Pro subscription service, reinforces our revenue diversification strategy. Financially, we’ve made significant progress in strengthening our capital structure, reducing our 2025 debt service obligations by 90%, and streamlining operations with a 23% year-over-year reduction in pro forma operating costs. Despite macro headwinds largely due to tariff uncertainty in Q2, our gross margin improved Year-over-Year to 44%, and we remain committed to delivering Adjusted EBITDA-positive results in Q4. Looking ahead, the passage of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (also known as the “GENIUS Act”), will provide opportunities to the Company to offer next generation consumer engagement programs. Management believes that we are well-positioned to be the leading company making brands playable. We anticipate that Super League’s trajectory will create long-term sustainable value for our shareholders.” The Company will host a webinar at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time today, August 14, 2025, to discuss financial results, provide a corporate update and end with a question-and-answer session.
