The Company expects to report second quarter financial results and host a conference call with investors on August 14, 2024.Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare stated, \"Our strong second quarter top-line results demonstrate the growing success of the platform we have created and a full quarter's contribution of the March 7, 2024, FaZe Clan Acquisition. Positive sales and deal momentum accelerated throughout the second quarter as the value we provide our brand partners expands and we convert more of our pipeline to sales. As a result, we believe we will achieve between $55 and $60 million in revenue during the second half of 2024. In addition, we expect to show a significant improvement in profitability in the second half of the year, benefitting from higher sales, expanded gross margin, and continued operating expense reductions. As a result, we believe we are well positioned to achieve our 2024 guidance.\"Preliminary 2024 Second Quarter Financial Results Q2 2024(preliminary)Revenue Owned and Operated IP$ 12 millionAgency + Media$ 13 millionSaaS$ 2 millionRevenue$ 27 millionMr. Kenna concluded, \"The first half of 2024 was an exceptionally busy period that included multiple non-core asset sales, and the acquisition and integration of FaZe Clan.
