Insights

Angel Studios guides to strong Q1 revenue with a modest Adjusted EBITDA loss.

Angel Studios anticipates Q1 2026 revenue of $105.0 million–$109.0 million, giving an early view of business scale. At the same time, it expects an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $(4.0) million–$(6.0) million, indicating ongoing investment or cost pressure.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, gain or loss on digital assets, and exceptional items, so it focuses on core operations. These numbers are unaudited estimates, and the company notes they may change as it completes its quarter-end close and prepares full GAAP financials.

The filing emphasizes that a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is unavailable without unreasonable effort because items like restructuring costs, changes in fair value of financial instruments, and other non-recurring charges can be volatile. Investors will get a fuller picture when Q1 2026 results are reported in May 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) for the first quarter of 2026 in the range of $(4.0) million to $(6.0) million."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
non-GAAP financial measure financial
"“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."
A non-GAAP financial measure is a way companies present their financial results that excludes certain expenses or income to show how they believe their core business is performing. It matters because it can give a clearer picture of how the company is really doing, but it can also be used to make results look better than they actually are.

Item 8.01 Other Events

 

Angel Studios, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), expects to report revenue for the first quarter of 2026 in the range of $105.0 million to $109.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) for the first quarter of 2026 in the range of $(4.0) million to $(6.0) million. These preliminary financial estimates are based on the Company’s current expectations and may be adjusted as a result of, among other things, the completion of customary quarter-end close review procedures and financial review. The Company expects to report its financial results for the period ending March 31, 2026 during its earnings call for the first quarter of 2026 which is expected to be held in May 2026. Tanner LLP has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to these preliminary financial estimates. Accordingly, Tanner LLP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. During the course of the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and related notes as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company may identify items that would require it to make material adjustments to the preliminary financial estimates presented herein. These preliminary financial estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and reviewed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

“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 and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry. Investors should exercise caution in comparing our non-GAAP measure to any similarly titled measure used by other companies. This non-GAAP measure excludes certain items required by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to information reported in accordance with GAAP.

 

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is not available without unreasonable effort due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of certain reconciling items. These items include, but are not limited to, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other non-recurring charges, transaction-related costs, changes in fair value of financial instruments, and other items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These reconciling items could have a significant and unpredictable impact on our future GAAP results.
