Insights

Equity research analyst

Genius Group issues 2026 guidance targeting strong revenue growth and positive adjusted EBITDA.

Genius Group is signaling a shift toward profitability with projected 2026 revenue of $20–$22 million, up from $13.5 million in 2025, and expected adjusted EBITDA from operations of $1.5–$2.0 million. This is framed around a clearer four-unit structure.

The plan calls for all three operating units — Genius School, Genius Academy and Genius Resorts — to generate operational profits, with each educational unit projected at over $6 million revenue and resorts at over $8 million. Genius City remains an investment phase project, targeted for completion by the end of 2027, which may influence longer-term spending needs.

Because these figures are forward-looking, actual outcomes will depend on execution of AI-powered programs, expansion of resorts and global licensing, and demand for Bitcoin-first, AI-focused education solutions. Future company filings and updates for fiscal 2025 results and progress toward the 2026 guidance will help investors assess delivery against these targets.

We have included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net profit / loss for the period plus income taxes and social contribution plus / minus finance revenue /expense result plus depreciation and amortization plus impairments plus revaluation adjustment of contingent liabilities plus share-based compensation expenses plus bad debt provision.
