TORONTO, Aug. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabio Holdings Inc. (TSXV: SBIO) (OTCQB: SABOF) ("Sabio" or the "Company"), a Los Angeles-based ad-tech company specializing in helping top global brands reach, engage, and validate (R.E.V.) streaming TV audiences, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.

"Our strong second quarter reflects both the resilience of our core ad-supported streaming business and the accelerating adoption of new offerings," said Aziz Rahimtoola, CEO & Co-founder of Sabio. "We delivered 25% year-over-year revenue growth and achieved the highest first-half sales in our history, surpassing even election-year results. With 92% of first half revenues from repeat customers, programmatic and mobile performance marketing scaling rapidly, and Creator TV distribution expanding, Sabio's sales trajectory has become increasingly predictable. This momentum demonstrates our ability to outpace the forecasted 13% industry growth rate¹ as brands shift their ad spend toward streaming TV.

"Importantly, our Creator TV platform has seen viewership growing over 300% across streaming partners since launch, underscoring its potential to capture the valuable Gen Z and millennial audience. The industry recognition we received this quarter 鈥� including a Pollie Award for Best Ad Tech Innovation and the ITVT Award for Most Significant Newcomer 鈥� further validates our technology and innovation leadership in ad-supported streaming. Together, these achievements position Sabio to build meaningful shareholder value as we enter the seasonally stronger second half of the year."

The financial disclosures in this news release are subject to a number of cautionary statements, assumptions, contingencies and risks as set forth in this news release. The foregoing outlook and expectations constitute forward-looking statements and financial outlook and are qualified in their entirety by the "Forward-Looking Statements" cautionary statement below. Readers are cautioned that this release if for information purposes only and may not be appropriate for other purposes.

Use of Non-IFRS Measures
This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) measures including, but not limited to, Adjusted EBITDA and听consolidated revenues (excluding political sales). These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of financial information reported under IFRS. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing a further understanding of operations from management's perspective.

Management uses adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") as a key financial metric to evaluate Sabio's operating performance as a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS. The term "Adjusted EBITDA", as defined by management, refers to net income (loss) before adjusting earnings for finance costs, income taxes, stock-based compensation, amortization, non-recurring items, and severance costs. Refer to reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA under the "Selected Financials" section of this release and in the Company's MD&A for the three and six months ended听June 30, 2025听and听June 30, 2024, copies of which can be found under Sabio Holdings Inc.'s profile on SEDAR Plus at听sedarplus.ca.

Management believes that the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are not connected to and do not represent the operating performance of Sabio. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated by Sabio's main business activities prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed as well as expenses related to stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization, restructuring costs, other expense (income), and foreign exchange (gain) loss. Accordingly, management believes that this measure may also be useful to investors in enhancing their understanding of Sabio's operating performance. It is a key measure used by Sabio's management and board of directors to understand and evaluate Sabio's operating performance, to prepare annual budgets, and to help develop operating plans.

Revenues excluding political ad sales is a supplementary financial measure that represents the Company's total consolidated revenue as reported in its financial statements, excluding revenues derived from political advertising campaigns. 听

Repeat revenue is a supplementary financial measure. This measure refers to the percentage of quarterly revenue generated from customers who have previously transacted with Sabio (defined as those with the same brand logo). It is derived from internal tracking systems and is used to assess customer retention and revenue predictability. This metric is not audited.

Cloud costs is a supplementary financial measure. This measure reflects the Company's expenditures related to cloud infrastructure services, including hosting and data processing, and delivery of ad tech solutions. It is tracked internally and disclosed to provide insight into operational efficiency and cost management. This metric is not audited and is not presented in the Company's financial statements.

Ad-supported streaming sales and mobile ad sales are supplementary financial measures that represent the proportion of the Company's consolidated revenue as reported in its financial statements contributed by the Company's ad-supported and mobile display product offerings, as is also presented in the Company's MD&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, copies of which can be found under听Sabio's profile on SEDAR+ at听sedarplus.ca.
