GameSquare Holdings Reports 2023 Results

Revenue increased 85% year-over-year to an annual record of $52 million, reflecting the contribution from the Engine Gaming acquisition, and organic growth

April 16, 2024, FRISCO, TX – GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: GAME), (“GameSquare”, or the “Company”), today announced financial results for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2023.

“2023 was a historic year for GameSquare as we executed against an M&A strategy focused on building a next-generation media business by acquiring industry leading technology, media, and creative assets. Over the past 12 months, we have completed two transformative acquisitions including Engine Gaming in April 2023, and FaZe Clan in March 2024. As part of our strategy, we successfully sold certain non-core radio business assets for a total consideration of $3.4 million in December 2023 and our esports team Complexity Gaming for a total consideration of $10.4 million in March 2024. These actions reflect the innovative platform we are creating that takes advantage of large, rapidly growing global trends in content, gaming, and events,” said Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare.

“Our 2023 results reflect the investments made to optimize our model and the contribution of Engine Gaming, while we also navigated a challenging advertising and media market environment. Specifically, brands reigned in their budgets during the fourth quarter, which caused two brand partners to pull their campaigns – each were expected to contribute high-margin, multi-million-dollar revenue in the fourth quarter. In addition, we restructured our sales and marketing organization to better align with our new operating model, which had an impact on our pipeline and further reduced revenue opportunities. Despite these impacts, our team has maintained strong relationships and supported our pipeline. As a result, we believe our media business is well positioned, once the market environment improves, for accelerating growth,” Mr. Kenna continued.

“While we expect the 2024 first quarter will be affected by the asset sale, costs associated with the FaZe acquisition, and the realignment of our sales and marketing infrastructure, we believe 2024 will be a good year of growth and enhanced profitability. We are focused on quickly executing against an exciting growth strategy, expanding the FaZe Brand, and eliminating costs to create lasting value for our shareholders. We believe our shareholders will see the power of our recent acquisitions and new operating model throughout 2024 and I am excited by the direction we are headed,” concluded Mr. Kenna.

Twelve months ended December 31, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022

● Revenue of $52.0 million, compared to $28.1 million

● Gross profit of $13.4 million, compared to $9.7 million

● Net loss of $31.3 million, compared to a net loss of $18.1 million

● Adjusted EBITDA loss of $15.0 million, compared to a loss of $13.2 million

● Adjusted EBITDA loss was 28.8% of revenue versus 47.2% of revenue last year

2024 Annual Guidance

● Management expects over $100 million in annual revenue and annual gross margin to range between 22.5% to 27.5% for 2024

● 2024’s annual guidance is based on a pro-forma basis and includes a full 12 months of contribution from FaZe Clan, which was acquired on March 7, 2024.

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, and (viii) gains and losses from discontinued operations.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

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