· Earnings call transcript and AI-powered summary

Financial & Operational Highlights

  • Total revenue for 1H 2025 was USD 61.2 million, up 55.5% year-over-year from the same period in 2024, driven primarily by:
    • Talent management revenue of USD 46.1 million, up 110.6% YoY.
    • Events production revenue of USD 11.3 million, up 30.1% YoY.
    • Esports revenue of USD 3.8 million, lower YoY due to delayed league revenue recognition and softer sponsorships.
  • Gross margin declined to -2% versus 6% in 1H 2024, mostly due to timing factors in esports revenues and fewer sponsorships.
  • Net loss was USD 136.3 million versus USD 4.7 million a year earlier, almost entirely due to noncash impairments:
    • Goodwill impairment of USD 106.3 million.
    • Intangible asset impairment of USD 19.5 million.
    Management emphasized these charges are one-time and do not impact cash flows.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was -USD 7.1 million, compared to -USD 2.6 million in 1H 2024, reflecting investments, digital infrastructure build-out and the lack of first-half league revenue.
  • The company reiterated the target of achieving positive adjusted EBITDA in 2H 2025, supported by:
    • Normalized league revenue recognition.
    • Improving esports performance and sponsorship pipeline.
