Financial Results Summary for Q4 and FY 2025

CEO Commentary

"New business lines started contributing in 2025," said Adam Adamou, CEO and Co-Founder of OverActive Media. "We hit record revenue of $28.5 million with Business Operations up 34 percent. We hosted a record three major live events, all firsts of their kind. In Madrid, we held the first-ever Call of Duty League Major in mainland Europe, and the first-ever LEC Roadtrip at Madrid Arena, drawing 18,000 fans and 348,000 peak concurrent viewers. In Kitchener, our Call of Duty Championship Weekend set a league viewership record at 353,000 peak concurrent viewers. The Company strengthened its commercial momentum through the renewal of key partnerships, complemented by the addition of new marquee partnerships including Pepsi, Ilusiona and Little Caesars."

Adamou continued, "We also set up what's next. Fenix Club, our first direct-to-consumer subscription, is live, and ActiveVoices, our AI localization platform, opens up a recurring revenue line. We relaunched our 2:10 agency into the influencer space, and it grew fast and added to revenue. We listed on the Börse Frankfurt in November to give European investors a euro-denominated way into the stock, and we closed an equity financing in December to support working capital. We rebranded Toronto Ultra to Toronto KOI to operate as one team under one global brand, and Movistar KOI took the LEC Spring Split title and qualified for Worlds for the seventh year in a row."

"2026 is about margin and cash. We've taken meaningful cost out of the business, our newer revenue lines are scaling, and we have stronger commercial visibility than we've had at this point in any prior year. We expect that combination to drive a step change in operating performance, with the goal of putting OverActive on a clear path to sustainable profitability."

NON-IFRS MEASURES

This press release includes references to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure and is defined by the Company as net income or loss before income taxes, finance income and costs, depreciation and amortization, decrease in net present value of franchise obligations, foreign exchange gains/losses, restructuring and business development costs, impairment charges, and share-based compensation. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of financial performance because it provides an indication of the Company's ability to capitalize on growth opportunities in a cost-effective manner, finance its ongoing operations, and service its financial obligations.

This non-IFRS financial measure is not an earnings or cash flow measure recognized by IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The Company's method of calculating such a financial measure may differ from the methods used by other issuers and, accordingly, its definition of this non-IFRS financial measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned that non-IFRS financial measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of the Company's performance or to cash flows from operating activities as measures of liquidity and cash flows.
