GameSquare Holdings Reports 2025 Third Quarter Results

 

Net income from continuing operations of $5.9 million in Q3 2025

 

Gross margin increased 20.0% sequentially to 49.4%

 

Balance sheet at September 30, 2025, strongest in the Company’s history with $81.5 million in DAT assets and cash, no debt and shareholders’ equity of $78.7 million

 

Management expects continued positive momentum in Q4 2025

 

November 13, 2025, FRISCO, TX – GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: GAME), (“GameSquare”, or the “Company”), today announced financial results for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2025.

 

“2025 is a defining year for GameSquare and our third quarter results confirm that our strategy is working,” stated Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare. “We are sharper, stronger, and more focused than ever as the actions we have taken over the past year have improved profitability, strengthened our balance sheet and positioned us with a differentiated, end-to-end platform built for scale.”

 

“During the third quarter, we wound down Frankly Media, consolidated our technology businesses under Stream Hatchet, and acquired Click Management (“Click”). These actions have expanded GameSquare’s profitability and strengthened our go forward operating platform. Click is already demonstrating its strategic and financial value by deepening our reach into creator-led brand partnerships, accelerating growth across our media and agency ecosystems, and unlocking new expansion opportunities. Combined with Zoned, Steam Hatchet, GameSquare Experiences, FaZe Clan Esports, and global media partnerships, we now operate one of the most comprehensive and integrated platforms in the industry.”

 

“This quarter also marked a milestone with the launch of our digital asset treasury strategy. With the support of established onchain advisors and partners, we have built an institutional-grade, yield-generating asset strategy that enhances our balance sheet, introduces a compounding return engine, and creates strategic optionality that complements our core operating business. Importantly, this also enabled us to fund our initial share repurchase program, reflecting our commitment to driving shareholder value.”

 

“GameSquare has never been in a stronger strategic, operational, or financial position. We have proactively streamlined our business, invested in high-growth areas, strengthened margins, and expanded our total addressable market. As we enter the next chapter of growth, we are doing so with momentum, a fortified balance sheet, and a scalable platform built to win in media, creators, gaming, and Web3. The progress we are making today sets the stage for durable growth, expanding profitability, and long-term value creation for our shareholders,” concluded Mr. 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) restructuring 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)
