Angel Studios (NYSE: ANGX) posts Q2 surge in Guild revenue and members
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Angel Studios reported strong second-quarter 2026 growth driven by its Angel Guild subscription community. Total revenue rose 27.5% year-over-year to $111.7 million, while Guild revenue grew 93.8% to $90.7 million and accounted for about 81.2% of revenue. Paying Guild members reached 2.61 million, up 99.2% from a year earlier, and exceeded 2.85 million as of July 31, 2026.
Profitability was mixed. Gross margin declined to about 54% from 69%, reflecting less high-margin theatrical revenue, and net loss widened to approximately $23.8 million (loss of $0.129 per share). However, operating loss narrowed to $18.5 million, Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to roughly $11.7 million, and operating cash flow turned positive at $16.9 million versus a $(10.6) million outflow last year. Cash and equivalents were $48.0 million at June 30, 2026, and the company reiterated guidance to limit full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA loss to no more than $25 million, supported by seven planned theatrical releases in the second half of 2026.
