Allied Gaming & Entertainment Announces Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Allied Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AGAE) (the 鈥淐ompany鈥� or 鈥淎GAE鈥�), a global experiential entertainment company, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

鈥淚 am honored to be appointed CEO and I look forward to sharing more detail about our strategic vision in the second half of the year,鈥� said Mr. Yangyang Li, Allied Gaming & Entertainment鈥檚 Chairman of the Board, CEO and President. 鈥淲hile our second quarter performance was impacted by disruptions related to a dissident stockholder, I am confident that we are gaining meaningful traction on our key initiatives. Our recent progress, including participating in strategic investments in iconic intellectual properties like Angry Birds 3, is laying a strong foundation, and we expect these efforts to be increasingly reflected in our financial performance in the quarters ahead.鈥�

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Revenues: Total revenues of $1.9 million decreased 27% compared to $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.0 million decrease in mobile gaming revenues, partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in in-person revenues generated from arena events.

Total costs and expenses for the second quarter were $8.0 million, a slight increase from $7.9 million in the prior-year period, with lower expenses within casual mobile gaming, largely offset by increases in general and administrative expenses, primarily stemming from a $0.5 million increase in legal and professional fees incurred in connection with complaints filed by a dissident stockholder along with a proxy contest between the Company and such stockholder.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2025 was $4.8 million compared to net loss of $3.9 million in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA loss was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to a loss of $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2024. A reconciliation of the GAAP-basis net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA is provided in the table at the end of this press release.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had a cash and short-term investments position of $60.0 million, compared to $71.5 million at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, the Company had a working capital position of $44.9 million compared to $64.3 million at December 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As a supplement to our financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (鈥淕AAP鈥�), the Company presents certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or as more important than, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with the company鈥檚 results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative to the Company鈥檚 GAAP financial results and may not be calculated in the same manner as similar measures presented by other companies.

The Company provides net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company provides EBITDA (defined as GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations before interest (income) expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization). The Company defines 鈥淎djusted EBITDA鈥� as EBITDA excluding certain non-cash, non-recurring, and unusual items, such as stock-based compensation, non-recurring legal fees, repayments of restricted cash, and unrealized foreign currency transactions.

In the future, the Company may also consider whether other items should also be excluded in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional useful information to measure the Company鈥檚 financial and operating performance. In particular, these measures facilitate comparison of our operating performance between periods and help investors to better understand the operating results of the Company by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company鈥檚 core business, operating results, or future outlook. Additionally, we consider quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of our ongoing financial and business performance or trends. Internally, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, along with others, in assessing the Company鈥檚 operating results, measuring compliance with any applicable requirements of the Company鈥檚 debt financing agreements in place at such time, as well as in planning and forecasting.

The Company鈥檚 non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, and our non-GAAP definitions of the 鈥淓BITDA鈥� and 鈥淎djusted EBITDA鈥� do not have a standardized meaning. Therefore, other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but include or exclude different items, which may not provide investors a comparable view of the Company鈥檚 performance in relation to other companies.

Management compensates for the limitations resulting from the exclusion of these items by considering the impact of the items separately and by considering the Company鈥檚 GAAP, as well as non-GAAP, financial results and outlook, and by presenting the most comparable GAAP measures directly ahead of non-GAAP measures, and by providing a reconciliation that indicates and describes the adjustments made.

The inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company, or any person, that the objectives of the Company will be achieved.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other performance measure derived in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (鈥淕AAP鈥�) or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of AGAE鈥檚 profitability or liquidity. AGAE鈥檚 management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful because they allow external users of its financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, to more effectively evaluate its operating performance, compare the results of its operations from period to period and against AGAE鈥檚 peers without regard to AGAE鈥檚 financing methods, hedging positions or capital structure and because it highlights trends in AGAE鈥檚 business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures. AGAE presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important supplemental measures of its performance that are frequently used by others in evaluating companies in its industry. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and may vary among companies, the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA AGAE presents may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. AGAE defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangibles. AGAE defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation and non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items.

The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from net loss, AGAE鈥檚 most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
