FRISCO, TX / ACCESS Newswire / April 8, 2026 / GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GAME), ("GameSquare", or the "Company"), today announced financial results for the three- and twelve-months ended December 31, 2025.

"I am proud of the progress GameSquare delivered in 2025 as the platform we have been building reached an important inflection point during the fourth quarter," said Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare. "Our fourth quarter results demonstrate a meaningful step change in profitability, driven by the success of our strategic investments, improved profitability across the business, and the contribution from our recently acquired creator marketing platform, Click. As a result, we delivered positive adjusted EBITDA of $1.7 million for the fourth quarter, marking a key milestone for GameSquare and demonstrating the earnings power and scalability of our operating model. In fact, when considering the contribution from TubeBuddy, our adjusted EBITDA would have been even stronger, underscoring the immediate accretive benefit of the transaction."

Kenna continued, "GameSquare has built a differentiated ecosystem that combines data and analytics, a scaled creator talent network, integrated agency services, and proprietary owned and operated IP to deliver end-to-end solutions for brands navigating the rapidly growing creator economy. As we move forward, we expect our platform to benefit further from the addition of the 2026 first quarter acquisition of TubeBuddy, which expands our capabilities in creator enablement, audience insights, and platform-driven revenue opportunities, and is expected to contribute high gross margin revenue to our business."

"As we move into 2026, our focus remains on driving new client relationships, expanding partnerships with existing brands, and continuing to scale sustainable revenue streams across the platform. In addition, our strong balance sheet provides the flexibility to continue investing in growth initiatives, pursue strategic opportunities, and support the ongoing expansion of our platform. We believe GameSquare is uniquely positioned as a next-generation media company at the intersection of gaming, creators, and culture, and we are excited about the opportunities ahead as the creator economy continues to grow. Based on our current momentum, we believe 2026 is shaping up to be a strong year of revenue growth and profitable annual adjusted EBITDA," concluded Kenna.

Management's use of Non-GAAP Measures

This release contains certain financial performance measures, including "EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA," that are not recognized under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. As a result, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. For a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable financial information presented in the Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP, see the section entitled "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" below.

We believe EBITDA is a useful measure to assess the performance of the Company as it provides more meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of our underlying business performance and other one-time or non-recurring expenses. We define "EBITDA" as net income (loss) before (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) income taxes; and (iii) interest expense.

Adjusted EBITDA

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure to assess the performance of the Company as it provides more meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of our underlying business performance and other one-time or non-recurring expenses. We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA adjusted to exclude extraordinary items, non-recurring items and other non-cash items, including, but not limited to (i) share based compensation expense, (ii) transaction costs related to merger and acquisition activities, (iii) arbitration settlement reserves and other non-recurring legal settlement expenses, (iv) contract exit costs, primarily comprised of employee severance resulting from integration of acquired businesses, (v) impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, (vi) gains and losses on extinguishment of debt, (vii) change in fair value of assets and liabilities adjusted to fair value on a quarterly basis, (viii) gains and losses from discontinued operations, and (ix) net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable measure determined under US GAAP is set out below. (Unaudited)
