Angel Studios Q3 2026 net loss narrows to $5.15M
The completed deals covered rights to Tuttle Twins and Wingfeather Saga; a separate Homestead-related merger remained subject to customary closing conditions.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Angel Studios, Inc. (ANGX) reported revenue of $159,015,551 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with $76,542,482 a year earlier. Operating loss was $10,349,912 versus $37,977,884, and net loss was $5,153,933 versus $38,498,571. For the first nine months, revenue was $385,826,547 versus $211,624,538, and net loss was $42,704,015 versus $91,535,374.
Operating cash flow was $29,116,725 provided in the first nine months, compared with $52,455,381 used a year earlier. Angel Guild had approximately 2.94 million paying members as of September 30, 2026, and cash and cash equivalents were $45,561,046. Management expects existing capital resources to be sufficient for operating requirements for at least the next twelve months.
The company completed acquisitions of Tuttle Twins Show, LLC and Toothy Cow Productions, LLC, with total acquisition values of $30,225,725 and $27,530,367, respectively. Both owned rights to series Angel Studios already distributed. The proposed acquisition of Black Autumn Show, Inc., which owns the Homestead film and series, remained subject to customary closing conditions and had not closed as of the report.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Angel Studios, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The financial information presented in these unaudited financial statements is condensed and should be read in conjunction with the entity’s latest annual audited financial statements. Interim disclosures generally do not repeat those in the annual statements.
1.Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
The company comprises Angel Studios, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Company”) (f/k/a Southport Acquisition Corporation or “Southport”). The Company’s mission is to share stories with the world that amplify light. This is done by aligning the Company’s interests with those of the creators and the audience and utilizing the wisdom of crowds to help guide decisions on the content that gets created.
Southport Merger
On September 10, 2025, the Company consummated the previously announced Southport Merger (as defined below) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 11, 2024 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Sigma Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Angel Studios Legacy, Inc. (f/k/a Angel Studios, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Angel Legacy”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a merger was effected in which Merger Sub merged with and into Angel Legacy, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased to exist and Angel Legacy survived as the surviving company and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger” and, collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Southport Merger”). On the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Company changed its name from “Southport Acquisition Corporation” to “Angel Studios, Inc.” Angel Legacy subsequently merged up and into Angel Studios, Inc., with Angel Studios, Inc. as the surviving entity.
Notwithstanding the legal form of the Southport Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Southport Merger has been accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) because Angel Legacy is the operating company and has been determined to be the accounting acquirer, while Southport is a blank check company.
Under the reverse recapitalization model, the Southport Merger was treated as Angel Legacy issuing equity for the net assets of Southport, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded.
While Southport was the legal acquirer in the Southport Merger, because Angel Legacy was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Angel Legacy became the historical financial statements of the combined company upon the consummation of the Southport Merger. As a result, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect (i) the historical operating results of Angel Legacy prior to the Southport Merger; (ii) the combined results of Southport and Angel Legacy following the closing of the Southport Merger; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Angel Legacy at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented.
In accordance with the applicable guidance, the equity structure within these quarterly financial statements has been retroactively restated in all comparative periods up to the closing date, to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (as defined below) issued to Angel Legacy common shareholders.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. The balance sheet at December 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 12, 2026.
As comprehensive income equals net income, separate statements of comprehensive income were not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Regularly, the Company evaluates the assumptions, judgments, and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Liquidity
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern within one year from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies since the date of those financial statements, except as described below.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred in a business combination, plus the acquisition-date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree, over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually, and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company has determined that it operates as a single reporting unit. The Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company concludes that it is, or elects to bypass the qualitative assessment, it compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Finite-lived intangible assets consist of acquired tradenames and technology assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company evaluates finite-lived intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, in accordance with its policy for long-lived assets.
Content
The Company capitalizes owned content, whether produced or acquired, as film costs in accordance with ASC 926-20, Entertainment-Films-Other Assets-Film Costs. Acquired content is initially recognized at its acquisition-date fair value. Owned content predominantly monetized through the Angel streaming platform is monetized as a film group, together with the Company’s other owned content monetized through the platform. The Company amortizes each film in the film group to cost of revenues based on its watch-time, whereby amortization each period is determined by the ratio of the film’s current-period watch-time to its estimated remaining total watch-time, applied to the film’s unamortized cost. Because this content is monetized as a group, the Company assesses it for impairment at the film-group level, reviewing the film group in aggregate when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the film group may be less than its unamortized cost.
Certain owned content is predominantly monetized on its own rather than as part of the film group. The Company amortizes this content to cost of revenues using the individual-film-forecast-computation method, based on the ratio of the content’s current-period revenue to its estimated remaining ultimate revenue, and assesses it for impairment individually when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its fair value may be less than its unamortized cost.
Content is amortized over its estimated period of use, not to exceed
Guarantees of Third-Party Indebtedness
The Company guarantees repayment of certain third-party loans made to independent film production companies. At the inception of each guarantee, the Company recognizes a guarantee liability measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 460, Guarantees, using a probability-weighted present value of expected cash outflows (Level 3 under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement). The offsetting debit is recorded in other long-term assets, representing the expected economic recovery through revenue generated from the distribution of the film (“Producer Royalty Rights”). The guarantee liability and other long-term assets are reduced pro-rata as Producer Royalty Rights are applied to the outstanding loan balance over the guarantee term, with no income statement impact as long as full recovery is projected. If a shortfall becomes probable and estimable, the Company recognizes guarantee expense for the net unrecoverable amount, writes off the other long-term assets, and recognizes a royalty recoverable asset for the estimated post-term royalty recovery under ASC 926-20, Entertainment-Films-Other Assets-Film Costs. See Note 6, Commitments and Contingencies, for further information.
Minimum Royalty Guarantees
The Company enters into agreements with certain filmmakers that guarantee minimum royalty payments over a specified term, regardless of the box office, streaming, or other performance of the underlying content (“Minimum Royalty Guarantees”).
10
Table of Contents
Unlike Guarantees of Third-Party Indebtedness discussed above, Minimum Royalty Guarantees do not involve a guarantee of a third party's indebtedness and are not accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees. The Company recognizes royalty expense and a corresponding liability as royalties are earned under the applicable royalty formula, with cash payments reducing the liability. If the Company determines that royalties expected to be earned over the guarantee term will not be sufficient to satisfy the guaranteed minimum, the Company recognizes the estimated shortfall as expense, with a corresponding liability, in the period the shortfall becomes probable and estimable. See Note 6, Commitments and Contingencies, for further information regarding amounts outstanding under these arrangements.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents payments received in advance of the Company fulfilling its performance obligations under various arrangements, including Angel Guild memberships, content licensing, theatrical ticket presales and other deferred revenue. The Company recognizes deferred revenue when cash is received before the related revenue recognition criteria are met, and such amounts are recognized as revenue when the related performance obligations are satisfied.
Angel Guild Memberships
Angel Guild membership fees, which include multiple membership options, are recorded as deferred revenue when received. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised products or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these products or services. The Company applies the following five steps: 1) Identify the contract with the customer; 2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) Determine the transaction price; 4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and 5) Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The following components represent the most significant portions of revenue being recognized:

Angel Guild Revenue
The Angel Guild is a paid membership that gives certain benefits, such as early access to certain content and the ability to vote on future content. Premium memberships receive additional benefits, such as complimentary theatrical tickets and merchandise discounts. Members have the option to pay either on a monthly or annual basis. The payments for memberships are initially recorded as deferred revenue and allocated to three different performance obligations: 1) memberships – recognized on a straight-line basis over the membership period, 2) complimentary theatrical tickets – allocated only in periods of theatrical releases by the Company and recognized as tickets are redeemed during the month of membership and 3) merchandise – recognized as the benefit is used.
11
Table of Contents
Theatrical Release Revenue
Prior to the digital release of licensed content, the Company might provide the option to release content as part of a theatrical release. Revenue from these events is recognized at a point in time – when the theatrical showing takes place. The Company will negotiate the terms of the theatrical distribution window (ranging from a few weeks to a few months), profit sharing percentage, and collection terms with the theater owners prior to the release. Theatrical release revenue fluctuates depending on the timing and scale of theatrical showings.
Content Licensing Revenue
The Company’s content licensing arrangements include fixed fee and minimum guarantee arrangements, and sales or usage based royalties. The Company’s fixed fee or minimum guarantee licensing arrangements may, in some cases, include multiple titles, multiple license periods (windows), rights to exploitation in different media, or rights to exploitation in multiple territories, which may be considered distinct performance obligations. When these performance obligations are considered distinct, the fixed fee or minimum guarantee in the arrangement is allocated to the title, window, media right or territory as applicable, based on estimates of relative standalone selling prices. The amounts related to each performance obligation (i.e., title, window, media or territory) are recognized when the content has been delivered, and the window for the exploitation right in that territory has begun, which is the point in time at which the customer is able to begin to use and benefit from the content.
Sales or usage based royalties represent amounts due to the Company based on the “sale” or “usage” of its content by the customer, and revenues are recognized at the later of when the subsequent sale or usage occurs, or the performance obligation
to which some or all the sales or usage-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). Generally, when the Company licenses completed content (with standalone functionality, such as a movie, or television show), its performance obligation will be satisfied prior to the sale or usage. The actual amounts due to the Company under these arrangements are typically not reported to the Company until several months after the close of the reporting period. The Company records revenue under these arrangements for the amounts due and not yet reported to the Company based on estimates of the sales or usage of these customers and pursuant to the terms of the contracts. Such estimates are based on information from the Company’s customers, historical experience with similar titles in that market or territory, the performance of the title in other markets and/or available data in the industry. While the Company believes these estimates are reasonable estimates of the amounts due under these arrangements, such estimated amounts could differ from the actual amounts to be subsequently reported by the customer, which could be higher or lower than the Company’s estimates, and could result in an adjustment to revenues in future periods. Any adjustments booked during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 have been immaterial.
For certain multi-year licensing arrangements, payments may be due over a longer period. When the Company expects the period between fulfillment of its performance obligation and the receipt of payment to be greater than a year, a significant financing component is present. In these cases, such payments are discounted to present value based on a discount rate reflective of a separate financing transaction between the customer and the Company, at contract inception. The Company does not assess contracts with deferred payments for significant financing components if, at contract inception, the Company expects the period between fulfillment of the performance obligation and subsequent payment to be one year or less.
Content licensing arrangements can last between several months and up to
Other Revenue
Other revenue consists of merchandise, tickets to Dry Bar Comedy shows and other events, concession sales, general and administrative management fees and in-app advertising. Other revenue is recognized when shipment of the merchandise occurs, the services are performed or when the event takes place.
The Company's remaining performance obligations consist primarily of Angel Guild memberships, for which unrecognized amounts are reflected in deferred revenue above.

Table of Contents
The Company does not disclose revenue by geography as it is impracticable to do so. The Company’s business operations involve complex, interconnected revenue streams that are not easily attributable to specific geographic regions. Revenue is often generated through multi-region engagements, global contracts and shared operational resources, making geographic segmentation inaccurate or misleading. As a result, providing such information would not reflect the true nature of the Company’s business and could lead to misinterpretation.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to the Company is computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to the Company gives effect to all dilutive potential shares that are outstanding during the period (if any) and excludes stock options that are anti-dilutive as a result of any net losses during the period.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates as a single reportable segment. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), Neal Harmon, the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the Company’s financial performance and allocates resources based on consolidated financial results. The Company does not manage its operations or prepare financial information on a disaggregated basis beyond the consolidated level for internal reporting purposes.
The CODM reviews consolidated operating results, primarily focusing on revenue, operating income (loss), and key expense categories to assess performance and make strategic decisions. The single reportable segment derives its revenue as described above, primarily from Angel Guild revenue, theatrical release revenue, content licensing, merchandise revenue and other revenue. Segment profit or loss is measured consistently with the consolidated operating income (loss) presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The significant expense categories regularly provided to the CODM as part of the consolidated financial review include cost of revenue, selling and marketing, research and development, legal and general and administrative expenses. The amounts for these categories are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. These expenses represent the primary financial measures used by the CODM to evaluate operational efficiency and resource needs. No other significant expense categories or performance metrics are regularly provided to the CODM on a disaggregated basis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2025-12
In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-12, Codification Improvements, which addresses stakeholder suggestions through technical corrections, clarifications, and minor improvements across various Codification Topics, applying to all entities within affected guidance. ASU 2025-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-12.
ASU 2025-11
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11.
ASU 2024-03
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which improves the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and addresses requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A, and research and development). Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or (2) retrospectively to any or all

prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company will review the guidance in ASU 2024-03 and will adopt disclosures as applicable in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2025-06
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, which amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC 350-40. The ASU makes targeted improvements to ASC 350-40 but does not fully align the framework for accounting for internally developed software costs that are subject to ASC 350-40 with the framework applied to software to be sold or marketed externally that is subject to ASC 985-20. The ASU also does not amend the guidance on costs of software licenses that are within the scope of ASC 985-20. The amendments supersede the guidance on Web site development costs in ASC 350-50 and relocate that guidance, along with the recognition requirements for development costs specific to Web sites, to ASC 350-40. This ASU becomes effective for annual periods beginning in 2028, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this standard with its annual period beginning on January 1, 2025 and applied it retrospectively. The adoption of this standard required the capitalization of software costs not previously capitalized under the old standard; therefore, it required an adjustment to the Company’s opening accumulated deficit balance as of January 1, 2025 to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the change in accounting principle to previous periods. The adjustment subsequently made was a decrease in the accumulated deficit for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $
ASU 2025-05
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The ASU provides all entities with a practical expedient that permits an entity to assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606 when estimating expected credit losses. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 on January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis. The Company did not elect the practical expedient and therefore the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

| 3. | Content |
Content consists of owned film and episodic content produced or acquired by the Company and accounted for as film costs under ASC 926-20, Entertainment-Films-Other Assets-Film Costs. Owned content predominantly monetized through the Angel streaming platform is monetized as a film group, while certain owned content is predominantly monetized on its own.
The Company amortizes content monetized as a film group to cost of revenues based on watch-time, and amortizes content monetized on its own to cost of revenues using the individual-film-forecast-computation method. Content monetized as a film group is assessed for impairment at the film-group level, and content monetized on its own is assessed for impairment individually, in each case when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value may be less than the unamortized cost.

Equity-Method and Other Investments
2521 Entertainment
In October 2025, the Company and 2521 Entertainment, LLC (“2521”) formed Giant Slayer Media, LLC (“Giant Slayer”), a joint venture that owns the intellectual property for the animated feature film DAVID and associated works. The Company made a total initial capital contribution of $
Under the Giant Slayer operating agreement, distributions and earnings are allocated among the members in a specified order of priority under which 2521 first recovers its capital contribution plus a return, then the Company recovers its capital contribution plus a return, before the members participate pro rata based on equity ownership.
Other Investments
In addition to Giant Slayer, the Company holds equity-method investments in other unconsolidated entities in which it has significant influence, including preferred units acquired in October 2023, and investments in entities in which it does not have significant influence that are accounted for under the measurement alternative. The Company's share of the net income of its equity-method investees, other than Giant Slayer, was $
Guarantees of Third-Party Indebtedness
The Company guarantees repayment of certain third-party loans made to independent film production companies. The Company acts as the film distributor and collection account manager, remitting the royalties from the distribution of the film, the Producer Royalty Rights, directly to the lender as the primary source of loan repayment during the loan term. If the Producer Royalty Rights remitted over the guaranteed term are insufficient to repay the loan in full and the film production company is unable to cover the balance of the loan, the Company is obligated to fund the remaining balance to the lender under a contractual payment undertaking (the "Angel Backstop"). The Angel Backstop is an unconditional and irrevocable guarantee of the borrower's loan repayment obligation.
The Angel Backstop is recognized as a guarantee liability at a Day 1 fair value in accordance with ASC 460, Guarantees, using the probability-weighted present value methodology described in Note 1. The offsetting debit was recorded as a deferred guarantee cost, presented within other long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, representing the expected economic recovery of the guarantee obligation through Producer Royalty Rights. After initial recognition, the guarantee liability and deferred guarantee cost are reduced pro-rata as Producer Royalty Rights are applied to the outstanding loan balance.
The following table presents information about the Angel Backstop as of September 30, 2026:

| term. Presented gross and undiscounted and has not been reduced by projected royalty recoveries. No collateral is held by the Company in connection with the Angel Backstop. |
| (2) | The Angel Backstop liability represents the unamortized Day 1 fair value of the Company's stand-ready guarantee obligation, measured at inception under ASC 460 and subsequently reduced pro-rata as Producer Royalty Rights are applied to the outstanding loan balance. The Deferred Guarantee Cost is the corresponding asset, carried within other long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and is reduced in tandem with the liability. |
The Company assesses the probability of being required to make payments under the Angel Backstop based on current projections of film revenue performance relative to the outstanding loan balance. As of September 30, 2026, the Company has assessed the payment risk as low.
In the event the Company is required to make a payment under the Angel Backstop, it retains the contractual right to receive post-term Producer Royalty Rights from the borrower to the extent earned in subsequent periods, representing a potential recovery of amounts funded. No collateral is held by the Company in connection with this guarantee.
Minimum Royalty Guarantees
The Company has entered into agreements with filmmakers that guarantee minimum royalty payments over specified periods, generally not expected to result in a shortfall given anticipated royalties. The Company recognizes royalty expense and a corresponding liability as royalties are earned, with cash payments reducing the liability.

With respect to the Company's minimum royalty guarantee arrangements, the Company has determined that a shortfall between royalties expected to be earned and the guaranteed minimums is reasonably possible, based on box office, licensing deals, and streaming performance of certain films relative to the original projections. The Company continues to project that royalties earned over the remaining terms of these arrangements will be sufficient to satisfy the guaranteed minimum, and no shortfall has been deemed probable as of September 30, 2026. Given the various stages of the distribution windows and in some cases limited performance data to date, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of any potential shortfall at this time. The Company will continue to monitor the performance of the underlying content and will record a liability for each estimated shortfall in the period in which it becomes probable and reasonably estimable.

Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated similarly to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the common shares were dilutive. All potential common shares were anti-dilutive as a result of the Company’s net losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Overview
We are a values-based media distribution company that uses technology to empower a vibrant and growing community to replace the Hollywood gatekeeper system and champion stories that amplify light for mainstream audiences.
Our community, known as the Angel Guild, is at the heart of this mission.
1) The Angel Guild votes to select film and TV shows.
2) The Angel Guild rallies in theaters to support film releases.
3) The Angel Guild funds future films and TV shows with their membership.
As of September 30, 2026, through the Angel Guild, approximately 2.94 million paying members help decide what film and TV projects we will market and distribute.
Pledge to Amplify Light
All Guild members make a written pledge stating: “When I vote, I pledge to help choose excellent entertainment that is true, honest, noble, just, authentic, lovely, admirable, or joyful.”

Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We primarily generate revenue from the following sources:
| ● | Angel Guild revenue comes from monthly or annual membership fees. Currently there are three possible tiers for membership, Basic with Ads, Basic, and Premium. All memberships allow voting for every Angel Studios release, give early access for streaming, and help fund our original films, increasing new content releases. The Basic and Premium tiers have no ads during shows and the Premium tier includes two complimentary tickets to every Angel Studios theatrical release and a discount for all merchandise. |
| ● | Theatrical distribution revenue comes from releasing our original films with our exhibitor partners. Every time a moviegoer purchases a ticket from the partner theaters, we receive a percentage of the box office revenue. For most international theaters, the percentage of box office revenue is first paid to a distributor who then pays us. |
| ● | Content licensing revenue comes from licensing our films and TV shows to other distributors such as Amazon, Apple and Netflix. Our future plans include licensing the rights to our films and TV shows for other experiences such as derivative shows, video games, theme parks and Broadway-style plays. |
| ● | Other revenue is generated from sales of merchandise related to our films and series, as well as physical DVD sales. We also offer a direct online store for Angel Studios themed products and wholesale products to retail partners. |
Founding
We were founded in 2013 by our Chief Executive Officer, Neal Harmon, along with his brothers Daniel, Jeffrey and Jordan, and their cousin, Benton Crane.
Bitcoin Treasury Strategy: Seeking to Empower the Angel Guild for Generations
As of September 30, 2026, we held an aggregate of approximately 304.1 bitcoin. This equates to 1.5490 bitcoin per million shares of our Common Stock. We plan to continue to acquire and hold bitcoin as a strategic treasury asset as an adjunct to our core film and TV distribution business. The continued implementation of our bitcoin treasury strategy aims to support our mission-driven approach of funding the world’s best filmmakers in producing stories that amplify light for generations to come. The overall strategy contemplates that we may (i) enter into capital raising transactions that are collateralized by our bitcoin holdings, (ii) consider pursuing strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate funds using our bitcoin holdings and (iii) periodically sell bitcoin for general corporate purposes, including to generate cash to meet our operating requirements.
Recent Developments
At the Market Offering
On December 5, 2025, we entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”), with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., TCBI Securities, Inc., doing business as Texas Capital Securities, Maxim Group LLC and Roth Capital Partners, LLC (each, a “Sales Agent,” and together, the “Sales Agents”), providing for the offer and sale to or through the Sales Agents, from time to time, shares of our Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $150,000,000.

Financial Operations Overview
Revenues
Historically, we have primarily generated revenue from the Angel Guild, theatrical distribution, content licensing and other. See “Revenue” for more information.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues represents the direct costs incurred by us in generating our revenue. These costs include expenses directly associated with the goods or services sold during the reporting period. Components of cost of revenues include licensing royalty expense, hosting, merchandise costs, credit card fees, freight and shipping costs and costs of services provided.
Operating Expenses
Selling and Marketing: Selling and marketing expenses include the promotion of the Angel Guild and increasing memberships, as well as current and future theatrical releases. As we continue to bring on additional content, drive Angel Guild memberships and promote future theatrical releases, this cost is expected to continue to rise.
Research and Development: Research and development expenses consist of the addition of personnel necessary to continue our focus on improving existing products, optimizing existing services and developing new technology to better meet the needs of our customers and partners.
General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses consist of the increased support staff necessary to manage the continued and expected growth of the business, including payroll and related expenses for executive, finance, content acquisition and administrative personnel, as well as recruiting, professional fees and other general corporate expenses.
Legal: Legal expenses include costs incurred in connection with legal proceedings, regulatory matters, compliance obligations, and corporate governance. Legal expenses may fluctuate based on the nature, timing, and complexity of matters encountered by us.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), a non-GAAP measure used by management to assess operating performance, is defined as net income/(loss), excluding interest expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and the (gain)/loss on digital assets, as well as exceptional items, if any. In connection with the TTS acquisition, the Company remeasured its previously held equity-method investment in TTS to fair value as of the acquisition date, resulting in a non-operating, non-recurring gain recognized in other income (expense), net. This item is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA as it does not reflect the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance to evaluate the performance of the Company’s 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 income/(loss) or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.
We present Adjusted EBITDA in this filing because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Period-to-period comparison of Adjusted EBITDA helps our management identify additional trends in our company’s financial results that may not be shown solely by period-to-period comparison of net income/(loss). In addition, we believe that providing Adjusted EBITDA, together with a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income/(loss), helps investors make comparisons between our company and other companies that may have different capital structures, different capitalized asset values, different forms of employee compensation and different strategic nonrecurring projects. Adjusted EBITDA has its limitations as an analytical tool because of the excluded items, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
27
Table of Contents
Some of these limitations include:
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense and interest income because these items are not directly attributable to the performance of our business operations and may vary over time due to a variety of financing transactions that we have entered into or may enter into in the future. |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and the (gain)/loss on digital assets. We believe that excluding the effect of these expenses from Adjusted EBITDA assists management and investors in making period-to-period comparisons in our company’s operating performance because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. |

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, the increase in revenues was largely due to: 1) an increase in Angel Guild revenue by $56.4 million as a result of increased Angel Guild members from 1.58 million to 2.94 million from September 30, 2025 to September 30, 2026, 2) an increase in theatrical revenue, which increased by $23.5 million as a result of a larger theatrical slate as compared to the prior year period, including the release of Young Washington and Runner in the current period, and 3) an increase in content licensing revenue, which increased by $2.5 million as a result of larger licensing deals being entered into from our 2026 theatrical releases, compared to smaller deals in the prior year period.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, cost of revenues was $59.0 million compared to $34.3 million in the same quarter in the prior year. The increase in Angel Guild cost of revenues by $12.5 million was largely a result of increased memberships and the transaction fees of $4.3 million related to that growth, as well as an increase in the amount of free movie tickets for premium Angel Guild members for Angel theatrical releases of $5.8 million, which was largely driven by the release of Young Washington in July 2026. The increase in royalties of $11.9 million was a result of royalties earned by filmmakers from higher net revenue earned from the Angel Guild.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, selling and marketing expenses increased by $27.4 million. The increase in Angel Guild sales and marketing expenses of $19.4 million was a result of promotions in July and August 2026 in an effort to increase memberships. The increase in Theatrical expenses of $7.5 million was a result of increased spending on promoting theatrical releases due to the larger theatrical slate as compared to the prior year period. As we continue to bring on additional content, drive Angel Guild memberships and promote future theatrical releases, this cost is expected to fluctuate, but overall remain high and be a significant component of our operating expenses.
Other Operating Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, higher general and administrative costs of $2.8 million were primarily related to: 1) additional employee costs of $1.0 million during 2026 related to the support staff necessary to manage the continued and expected growth of the business, and 2) additional stock-based compensation expenses of $1.2 million during 2026 due to an increase in options and RSUs granted to employees and their related fair value on the grant date.
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, research and development costs remained relatively consistent, with no large increases or decreases in personnel or software costs associated with research and development.
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, legal costs remained relatively consistent, with no large increases or decreases in fees paid to third parties.
Other Income and Expense
The increase in the gain on digital assets of $5.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, was a result of measuring our digital assets at fair value at the end of each reporting period per Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-08 and the value of bitcoin increasing during the three months ended September 30, 2026 by a greater amount as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the increase in revenues was largely due to: 1) an increase in Angel Guild revenue by $149.0 million as a result of increased Angel Guild members from 1.58 million to 2.94 million from September 30, 2025 to September 30, 2026, 2) an increase in content licensing revenue, which increased by $18.6 million as a result of larger licensing deals being entered into from our Q4 2025 and 2026 theatrical releases, compared to smaller deals in the prior year period, 3) an increase in merchandise revenue of $3.2 million largely due to increased DVD sales in 2026 as compared to the prior year period, and 4) an increase in Theatrical revenue of $4.0 million, largely due to more theatrical releases in the current period, including the release of Young Washington and Runner in Q3 2026, as compared to less theatrical releases in the prior period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, cost of revenues was $154.8 million compared to $81.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in Angel Guild cost of revenues by $21.3 million was largely a result of increased memberships and the transaction fees of $12.6 million related to that growth and an increase in the amount of free movie tickets for premium Angel Guild members for Angel theatrical releases of $5.7 million, as well as small increases in hosting fees and other various costs. The increase in royalties of $51.5 million was a result of royalties earned by filmmakers from higher net revenue earned from the Angel Guild.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the increase in selling and marketing expenses was largely due to an increase in Angel Guild sales and marketing expenses of $36.4 million, which was a result of increased promotions in the current period in an effort to increase memberships. This was partially offset by a decrease in theatrical sales and marketing expenses of $3.3 million as a result of reduced spending on promoting theatrical releases in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. As we continue to bring on additional content, drive Angel Guild memberships and promote future theatrical releases, this cost is expected to fluctuate, but overall remain high and be a significant component of our operating expenses.
Other Operating Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, higher general and administrative costs of $9.2 million were primarily related to: 1) additional employee costs of $3.2 million during 2026 related to the support staff necessary to manage the continued and expected growth of the business, 2) additional stock-based compensation expense of $3.5 million during 2026 due to an increase in options and RSUs granted to employees in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and their related fair value on the grant date, and 3) amortization expense of $1.8 million related to a new three-year first-look agreement with a filmmaker, which provides the Company with priority rights to review and bid on the filmmaker's future projects.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in research and development costs of $1.8 million primarily related to additional employee costs during 2026 related to the support staff necessary to manage the continued and expected growth of the business.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the decrease in legal expense of $4.9 million was primarily because the prior-year period included legal costs incurred in preparing for and completing the Southport

Table of Contents
Merger, with no comparable costs in 2026. The decrease was partially offset by legal fees related to the Homestead, Toothy Cow Productions, and Tuttle Twins Show acquisitions.
Other Income and Expense
The change in the net loss on digital assets of $7.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was a result of measuring our digital assets at fair value at the end of each reporting period per ASU No. 2023-08 and the value of bitcoin decreasing during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the value of bitcoin increasing during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
The increase in interest expense of $5.1 million is related to a higher dollar amount of P&A and other notes entered into and outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as can be seen on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The decrease in interest and other income was primarily driven by lower credit card cash back rewards.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily due to cash provided by operating activities of $29.1 million, partially offset by cash used in investing activities of $24.5 million and cash used in financing activities of $3.1 million.
Historically, we have funded a significant portion of our operations through private and public offerings of our common stock and raise of money through notes payable. During 2026, we have funded a significant portion of our operations through positive operating cash flow. As of September 30, 2026, we had cash on hand of approximately $45.6 million. Notes payable, excluding discounts and issuance costs, consists of 1) P&A notes in the amount of $12.4 million with amounts due based on timing of certain cash proceeds, but which amounts are expected to be paid within the next twelve months, 2) financing of a convertible note in the amount of $6.2 million, which will become due, if not converted into equity beforehand, by May 1, 2027, and 3) a financing facility in the amount of $100.0 million, of which $60.0 million is currently drawn as of the date of this report, with interest payable monthly and principal installments starting in November 2027 and a final maturity of October 1, 2030.
Evaluation of Going Concern
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue to operate as a going concern within one year from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we incurred a net loss of approximately $42.7 million and had cash provided by operating activities of approximately $29.1 million. We have an accumulated deficit of approximately $284.3 million as of September 30, 2026. Marketing expense was our largest expense for the period ended September 30, 2026 as our intent is to increase Angel Guild memberships and support our theatrical releases. We anticipate that as we continue to grow the business, we will incur operating losses and use cash in operating activities during 2026.
We are working to increase revenues through the growth of Angel Guild memberships, our pipeline of theatrical releases during the final quarter of 2026 and additional streaming agreements. We have historically financed marketing activities for theatrical releases through two primary methods: 1) Regulation A offerings that are tailored to raise money for the print and advertising costs (“P&A”) for specific theatrical releases and 2) P&A loan agreements with individual and institutional investors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company did not raise any money from Regulation A offerings and received $20.0 million from P&A loans. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company raised $13.2 million from Regulation A offerings and received $84.0 million from P&A loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company paid $68.7 million for the repayments of P&A loans, including interest and paid $5.9 million as a redemption of shares for Regulation A investors, from the proceeds collected from the
33
Table of Contents
theatrical releases and other revenues earned. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid $43.5 million for the repayments of P&A loans, including interest and paid $15.8 million as a redemption of shares for Regulation A investors, from the proceeds collected from the theatrical releases and other revenues earned.
Additionally, the Company has raised capital through the sale of its Common Stock, generating $104.1 million of cash during the year ended December 31, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company issued Common Stock for aggregate proceeds of $34.6 million and generated approximately $322.7 million in cash from Angel Guild paid memberships. As we continue to grow, we expect that our existing capital resources, including cash, accounts receivables, licensing receivables, recurring revenues from our membership base, the ability to draw on our existing debt facility, and the ability to sell our digital assets if necessary, will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for at least the next twelve months. While there is no assurance of success, management remains committed to its plans to grow revenues and manage expenses.

Cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $3.1 million compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of $130.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we raised $40.0 million in notes payable and $34.6 million through issuance of Common Stock. This was partially offset by the repayment of $68.7 million for P&A related notes and a $5.9 million redemption paid for equity in noncontrolling interests. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we raised $102.8 million with issuance of our common stock, $13.7 million in equity from noncontrolling interests, and $106.2 million in notes payable. These were offset by the repayment of $36.5 million for P&A related notes, the repayment of $27.0 million of notes payable, a $15.8 million redemption paid for equity in noncontrolling interests and a $10.2 million payment related to a loan guarantee.
Trends and Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Angel Guild
We launched the Angel Guild in the second quarter of 2023. Since that time the Angel Guild grew to approximately 2.00 million Angel Guild members as of December 31, 2025, accounting for 65.2% of our total revenue in 2025. The Angel Guild grew to approximately 2.94 million Angel Guild members as of September 30, 2026, accounting for 75.1% of our total revenue in 2026. As of September 30, 2026, filmmakers have earned $323.4 million in cumulative royalties.
We attribute the Angel Guild growth to many factors including, but not limited to, new and exclusive content being added regularly to the Angel Guild and marketing optimization and upselling to the Angel App user base. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the trailing twelve months average revenue per member was $13.73 per month.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Other than as described below, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information about our significant accounting policies.
Business Combinations, Goodwill and Intangible Assets
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we completed two acquisitions accounted for as business combinations. Accounting for a business combination requires us to estimate the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible assets and their estimated useful lives, with any excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net identifiable assets recorded as goodwill. These estimates require significant judgment, including assumptions about future cash flows and the periods over which acquired intangible assets are expected to contribute to revenue. The purchase price allocations are preliminary and subject to revision during the measurement period. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least

annually; finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment when indicators are present. See Note 2, Business Combinations, for further information.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2026, our off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of guarantees of repayment of third-party loans made to independent film production companies that are unconsolidated variable interest entities in which we hold a variable interest but are not the primary beneficiary. We have assessed the risk of payment under these guarantees as low. We had no other off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2026 that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors. See Note 6, Commitments and Contingencies, for our maximum potential future payments under these guarantees and the related recorded guarantee liability.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are subject to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including changes in interest rates. Historically, fluctuations in interest rates have not had a significant impact on our operating results. As of September 30, 2026, we have not utilized any derivative financial instruments such as futures contracts, options and swaps, forward foreign exchange contracts or interest rate swaps and futures. In addition, any sales we make that are denominated in a foreign currency will be subject to risks associated with changes in currency exchange rates. These risks include the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential illiquidity in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved. Our exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate changes is increasing but we do not believe it to be material under current accounting guidance.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of September 30, 2026, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2026 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in this report filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting Readiness
As of June 30, 2026, the last business day of the Company’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, the aggregate market value of the Company's common equity held by non-affiliates exceeded the $75 million threshold under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. As a result, the Company will be classified as an accelerated filer beginning with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. In addition, the Company will cease to qualify as an emerging growth company effective with that same Annual Report. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and has designed its control framework based on the COSO internal control framework.

Table of Contents
As a result of the foregoing, the Company will be required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act beginning with its Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. In preparation for this transition, management has commenced a formal internal control readiness program, which includes enhanced documentation of business processes, risk identification, and testing of key controls.
While these efforts are intended to improve the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting, the implementation and testing of internal controls is an ongoing process subject to refinement. Accordingly, management cannot assure that identified deficiencies, if any, will be remediated on a timely basis or that internal control over financial reporting will be effective when auditor attestation is required.
