Angel Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results: Guild Membership Climbs 99.2% Year-Over-Year

About this update from Angel Studios, Inc.

Angel (NYSE: ANGX) (the “Company”), a media and technology company successfully pioneering a first of its kind audience-driven model in which Angel Guild community members watch, screen and vote on which films and television series get distributed on the Angel platform, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. A Growing Community Choosing Values-Driven Entertainment At the center of Angel's second quarter is the continued, accelerating growth of the Angel Guild. The Guild grew from 2.22 million to 2.61 million paying members during the quarter, a 17.6% sequential increase and 99.2% growth from 1.31 million members in the second quarter of 2025. That momentum has continued past quarter-end: as of July 31, 2026, the Angel Guild has surpassed 2.85 million paying members. During the quarter, the Company also began publishing Guild membership figures in real time at angel.com/impact, giving members and the public ongoing visibility into the community's growth. The Angel Guild's recurring revenue stream reflects this community expansion directly: Guild revenue grew 93.8% year-over-year to $90.7 million, and in Q2 2026, represented approximately 81.2% of total Company revenue. Growing the Community Efficiently Q2 2026 Angel Guild membership grew approximately 390,000 vs 230,000 members in Q2 2025 (69.6% increase), while Guild selling and marketing expense increased by only 43.0%. Guild selling and marketing expense was 52.8% of Guild revenue in Q2 2026, compared to 71.6% in Q2 2025, reflecting improved efficiency in acquiring and retaining members as the Guild scales. Positive operating cash flow of $16.9 million in Q2 2026, compared to ($10.6) million in Q2 2025, a $27.5 million year-over-year improvement, driven partly by strong Guild membership growth with reduced selling and marketing expenses as a percent of revenue. Message from our CEO “Guild membership is up 99% year-over-year while we cut Guild marketing spend as a share of Guild revenue by more than 26%,” said Neal Harmon, co-founder and CEO. “That’s the model working on Angel’s proprietary tech platform: audience-driven curation, values-based storytelling, and filmmaker rev-share are making Angel stronger, more efficient, and harder to replicate with every film release and with every new Guild member.” Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results Angel Guild revenue was $90.7 million in Q2 2026, up 93.8% year-over-year from $46.8 million in Q2 2025, and up 8.9% sequentially from $83.3 million in Q1 2026. Guild revenue growth was driven by 99.2% year-over-year growth in paying memberships. Total revenue was $111.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $87.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 27.5%. Gross Margin percentage was approximately 54%, compared to approximately 69% in the prior-year period. The largest driver of that decline was a shift in revenue mix: Q2 2025 included a heavy concentration of theatrical revenue ( King of Kings ), which carries structurally higher gross margins. Total operating expenses, excluding cost of revenues, were $78.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $81.7 million in the second quarter of 2025. Sales and marketing was managed to $61.1 million in Q2 2026, which was slightly less than $61.5 million in the same quarter last year on a significantly higher revenue base. Operating loss was $18.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to an operating loss of $21.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. Angel had positive operating cash flow of $16.9 million in Q2 2026, compared to ($10.6) million in Q2 2025. Net loss was approximately $23.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of $15.7 million in the second quarter of 2025. Net loss per share was $0.129, compared to $0.106 per share in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA 1 was a loss of approximately $11.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of approximately $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA loss was $7.7 million in the first half of 2026, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $46.2 million in the first half of 2025. Liquidity As of June 30, 2026, Angel had cash and cash equivalents of $48.0 million, compared to $44.1 million as of December 31, 2025, and $28.0 million as of June 30, 2025. The Company did not draw on the Trinity credit facility in Q2. Bitcoin holdings remain unchanged at 303.1 BTC. Outlook The Company has slated seven theatrical releases in the second half of 2026, with each release benefiting from the interest and word of mouth of current Guild members and serving as a growth driver to attract new Guild members. We have seen significant growth in Guild membership tied to our past theatrical releases, and anticipate continued Guild growth as a result of our future theatrical releases. For example, based on our deep-attribution models, the top eight highest-acquiring films driving Guild memberships were first released in theaters by Angel. The Company reiterates its previously stated guidance to reduce its full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA loss to no more than $25 million. ____________________ 1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP (as defined below) financial measure.

About Angel Angel (NYSE: ANGX) is a media and technology company successfully pioneering a first-of-its-kind audience-driven model. Founded by brothers who struggled to find films they could watch with their children, Angel was built on the belief that there was a global audience hungry for values-driven storytelling that amplifies light, celebrates hope, and inspires the moral imagination of viewers. That audience became the Angel Guild, a rapidly growing community of over 2.85 million paying members* who watch, screen, and vote on which films and television series get produced and distributed on the Angel platform. According to Rotten Tomatoes, Angel’s releases average among the highest audience satisfaction scores in the industry.** It has done so while evolving a new economic model that shares profits more fully with filmmakers, with cumulative earnings of nearly $300 million.
