Super League Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results and Provides Update on Strategic Discussions to Accelerate Path to Profitability and Diversify Revenues

 

~ Ann Hand to Support Strategic Alternative Initiatives as Executive Chair; President Matt Edelman Promoted to the Role of Chief Executive Officer ~

 

~ Renowned Marketing and Advertising Executive Bant Breen Appointed to Board of Directors ~

 

SANTA MONICA, CAMarch 28, 2025 Super League (Nasdaq: SLE), a leader in redefining the gaming industry as a media channel, today released fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results.

 

Super League Executive Chair, Ann Hand Commented:

 

“The last two years have presented Super League with a unique set of challenges that have tested our resolve. But make no mistake, our conviction and enthusiasm to seize the opportunity in front of us is unwavering. We have worked tirelessly to build our platform over the years and are confident we have the talent, grit and an actionable plan already underway to successfully achieve our long-term objectives.

 

While we have achieved plenty of success across hundreds of campaigns with blue-chip brands, creating innovative technology and growing our audience base, our financial results in the back half of 2024 did not live up to the results we expected. The micro-cap market has not rebounded in ways that we would like, combined with some macro-economic headwinds and structural shifts in the Roblox ad ecosystem, we have had to quickly adapt and be faster and more assertive in building a successful and sustainable business. Yet, we believe in our long-term prospects, and there are positive signs in Q1 – notably that revenue diversification is kicking in, margins are recovering and our pipeline is growing.

 

Our mandate is getting to breakeven for you, our shareholders. In order to do that, we must realign the business. We are aggressively attacking our cost structure to support this priority with an aim to be EBITDA positive in Q4 2025. Concurrently, we are also focusing on larger revenue, higher margin programs to be more selective in where we focus our limited resources.

 

In addition, as part of our realignment, I am moving to Executive Chair role through the end of 2025 and passing the torch to Matt Edelman to be our new CEO. I will continue to support and mentor Matt through the transition process and exploration of strategic alternatives. Matt has been our fearless President for the last two years and has the intellect, deep product and industry knowledge, work ethic, energy and enthusiasm to hit the ground running.

 

 

 

In an effort to bolster our Board, we are thrilled to appoint Bant Breen as a Director. Bant is a noted marketing and media executive, entrepreneur and academic. Specifically, Bant has spent a vast amount of his career in holding company and operating leadership roles with some of the largest global advertising agencies. When considering our market adoption opportunity, Bant’s history in the industry can potentially be a game changer for our pipeline and ultimately our revenue trajectory.

 

As for the opportunity we announced with Infinite Reality in October 2024, while discussions continue, the deal has not been completed and the exclusivity period has expired. This has allowed us to advance towards exciting alternatives that are very on-strategy for Super League. These pursuits have significant business overlap with us for more material topline and cost synergies – and they are companies that are close to breakeven or already profitable and could accelerate our path to EBITDA positive with a more dominant position in the playable digital advertising space.

 

In conclusion, despite the challenges we have faced, we are here and confident in the opportunity that lies ahead. We have responded with a mandate and actionable plan that is already under way. The Board and I are confident that Matt is the right choice to execute this mandate and ultimately deliver value to our shareholders.”

 

Matt Edelman, Super League President and CEO commented, “My conviction and confidence in Super League’s path ahead have never been stronger. We have the grit, fortitude, and vision to deliver upon our most important commitments - more value to our shareholders, meaningful business outcomes for our partners, and attention-grabbing playable content to massive audiences across gaming platforms. I’m grateful to the Board for their support and excited for the opportunity,”
