Gross margin of 49.0% in the second quarter of 2026, representing a year-over-year increase of 19.6 percentage points

Net loss of $10.6 million, includes $7.8 million in changes in unrealized loss and realized loss on digital assets and investments in ETH fund

Adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million for the second quarter, driven by higher sales, strong gross margin expansion, and improved operating leverage

FRISCO, TX / ACCESS Newswire / August 10, 2026 / GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GAME), ("GameSquare", or the "Company"), today announced financial results for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2026.

Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare stated, "GameSquare delivered a strong second quarter, which was ahead of plan, with positive results accelerating meaningfully from first quarter and year-over-year levels. Revenue increased 137% year-over-year to $18.5 million, gross margin expanded by nearly 20 percentage points to 49.0%, and adjusted EBITDA improved to a second quarter record of $1.0 million. These results reflect strong execution, underlying organic growth across our core businesses, the positive contribution from the recent Click and TubeBuddy acquisitions, and increasing operating leverage of our platform as our business scales."

Kenna added, "Revenue growth is being supported by strong bookings across GameSquare Experiences, expanding creator relationships and deeper engagements with global partners. Recent examples include the renewal and expansion of our relationship with Riot Games and Stream Hatchet's selection for a second consecutive year as a data and insights provider for the Esports World Cup, which demonstrate the value of our differentiated data, analytics and creator-intelligence capabilities. Our partnership with the U.S. Army and FaZe Esports' partnership with CORSAIR further demonstrate the breadth of our platform and our ability to connect leading brands and organizations with highly engaged gaming and esports audiences."

"Expanding our access to premium IP is an increasingly important component of GameSquare's strategy, strengthening the value and differentiation of our end-to-end commercial platform. We are pleased with the recent additions of World of Dance, the Esports Awards and The Mobies to our growing portfolio of commercial IP opportunities. Equally important, we continue to expand the scale and reach of our creator business. During the second quarter, Justin Miclat was appointed Chief Growth Officer of Click, and we added Steak, the second-largest Roblox creator, and SypherPK, one of the world's largest Fortnite creators, to our talent roster. As a result, Click's creator network now reaches more than 60 million followers across major social platforms," Kenna continued.

"Our strong year-to-date performance demonstrates the progress we are making and reinforces our confidence in GameSquare's operating model and growth strategy. As our recent acquisitions successfully integrate, we are building a stronger and more comprehensive platform that enables GameSquare to provide a broader range of services to both new and existing customers. With revenue growth accelerating, gross margins expanding and adjusted EBITDA turning positive, we believe we have established meaningful momentum and are well positioned to deliver a strong second half of 2026," Kenna concluded.
