SANTA MONICA, March 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Super League (Nasdaq: SLE) (the “Company”), an audience intelligence and media activation company that generates revenue by executing interactive advertising and immersive content programs for brands seeking to reach and influence people who play video games, today released fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results.
Super League Chief Executive Officer, Matt Edelman Commented:
“Super League is a fundamentally different company than it was a year ago. We have a stronger foundation and a clearer path to scale, positioned to help brands reach and influence one of the most valuable and under-monetized consumer segments in modern media and culture—the gamer demographic.
The fourth quarter marked a meaningful step forward, delivering our strongest revenue performance of the year and approaching prior-year levels despite operating with a significantly more streamlined organization.
For the full year, we improved pro forma cash basis EBITDA by 31% year-over-year, including a 56% improvement in the fourth quarter alone, while continuing to reduce operating costs. We also expanded gross margin to 40%, up from 38% in 2024, reflecting a more disciplined and efficient operating model.
Throughout the year, we took decisive actions to reshape the business. We strengthened our balance sheet, simplified our capital structure, and built a more focused organization. We ended 2025 debt-free, with more than $14 million in cash, and do not anticipate the need to raise capital to fund operations in the foreseeable future.
At the same time, we further diversified our revenue base, reducing dependency on any single platform and began the shift toward a more scalable and repeatable model. This reflects our broader strategy of positioning Super League as an audience partner for brands rather than a channel-specific provider.
Our advantage lies in our understanding of the gaming ecosystem and the player mindset, enabling brands and media agencies to connect with consumers through the right creative, at the right time, across a wider range of gaming and digital environments. We believe this approach increases our relevance to brands and expands our opportunity within the overall $316 billion U.S. digital advertising market.
That momentum is reflected in the brands we are working with. During the quarter, we initiated programs with Regal Cinemas and H&R Block, expanded our relationship with Panda Express, and supported campaigns with partners including Paramount+, Google, Logitech, and Disney.
Combined with our recently announced agreement to acquire the Misfits Ads Division, subject to stockholder approval, we believe the Company is well-positioned to build on this momentum, and that cash basis EBITDA profitability is within reach by year end.
Looking ahead, we are encouraged by early 2026 activity. First quarter revenue is expected to exceed the prior-year period, supported by continued engagement from both returning and new clients. Our focus is on translating this momentum into consistent financial performance in the quarters ahead.”
The Company will host a webinar at 8:30 am Eastern Time today, March 27, 2026, to discuss financial results, provide a corporate update and end with a question-and-answer session. To participate, please use the following information.
