Key Highlights

  • 2025 fourth quarter revenue increased 254.3% year-over-year to $109.9 million, compared to $31.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

  • The Company’s recurring revenue stream, referred to as the Angel Guild, represents 62.9% of total revenues for the fourth quarter, representing year-over-year Guild revenue growth of 379.9%.

  • For the 2025 full year, revenue increased 233.2% to $321.6 million, compared to $96.5 million for the full year ended December 31, 2024.

    • The Angel Guild represented 65.2% of total revenues for the full year 2025, growth of 488.3% year over year.

  • Guild Membership reached 2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to approximately 1.6 million in the third quarter of 2025 and approximately 550,000 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. Quarter to date, Guild Membership stands at 2.2 million.

  • Trailing twelve month Average Revenue Per Member “ARPM” was $13.67 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, versus $13.70 in Q3. This is reflective of innovative member acquisition strategies put in place for Q4.

  • Total shares issued and outstanding were 169,095,572 as of December 31, 2025.

  • The Company plans to double its streaming library, adding 200 films and more than 500 television episodes and specials to the Angel platform.

Theatrical Milestones and Upcoming Slate

  • DAVID became the highest-grossing faith-based animated theatrical opening of all time.
  • DAVID had the best three-day theatrical opening in the company’s history, surpassing Sound of Freedom.
  • The Company had two of the top ten highest-grossing animated domestic theatrical releases in 2025 (DAVID and The King of Kings).

  • Animal Farm, directed by Andy Serkis and featuring the voices of Seth Rogen, Woody Harrelson, Glenn Close, Gaten Matarazzo, Kathleen Turner, and Kieran Culkin, will be released in theaters on May 1, 2026.

Message from our CEO

“We listed on NYSE, achieved the highest average domestic box office per title among all independent distributors, and received by far the highest audience satisfaction scores in the industry – again,” said Angel co-founder and CEO Neal Harmon. “It is all due to the wisdom, passion, and guidance of our Angel Guild, which more than tripled in size this year to more than two million strong, generating $360 million in annual recurring revenue. The Guild proves every day that there is a growing global audience for values-driven films and television.”

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total revenue was $109.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $321.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $31.0 million and $96.5 million in the prior year periods, respectively. The quarterly increase in revenues was due to an increase in Angel Guild revenue of $54.7 million and theatrical release revenue, which increased by $19.6 million as a result of the success of the DAVID theatrical rollout.

Gross Margin for the quarter was 60% compared to 58% a year ago in Q4.

Selling and marketing for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $120.6 million, compared to $38.0 million for the 2024 comparable quarter. The increase was largely due to faster than expected Guild member growth and the marketing investment to support the DAVID release.

Net loss was $78.6 million, or ($0.47) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $37.2 million, or ($0.26) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2025, Angel has cash and cash equivalents of $44.1 million, this compares to $7.2 million as of December 31, 2024.

Outlook

The Company anticipates a significantly narrowed Adjusted EBITDA loss of less than $25 million for the full year 2026.

By the end of 2026, we expect to add 730 titles (including films, episodes, and comedy specials), making Angel one of the fastest-growing libraries of values-driven films and television series anywhere in the world.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” or similar expressions. Statements regarding the Company’s financial performance, the anticipated Adjusted EBITDA loss for the full year 2026, and other expectations regarding future performance are forward-looking statements based on management’s current expectations and assumptions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as earnings before Interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation expense, and the gain/loss on digital assets, as well as exceptional items. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance to evaluate the performance of the Company’s core business operations, to facilitate comparisons of operating results across reporting periods, and to assist in planning and forecasting future periods. Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net loss or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. The company intends to report Adjusted EBITDA on an ongoing basis beginning with its next quarterly earnings release.

“Annual recurring revenue” (ARR) is a non-GAAP financial metric calculated by multiplying the total number of Guild Members by the Company’s trailing twelve-month Average Revenue Per Member (“ARPM”) of $13.67 and annualizing that amount. ARR represents a forward-looking estimate of recurring membership revenue based on current membership levels and historical ARPM and should not be considered a substitute for revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated due to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: the Company’s ability to grow and retain its Angel Guild membership base; the performance of the Company’s theatrical and streaming content releases, including audience reception and box office results; competitive pressures from other streaming platforms, studios, and entertainment alternatives; adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, changes in consumer spending, or capital market disruptions that could affect the Company’s access to financing or its operating costs; and other risks described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
