    Why it matters

    This is a key financial objective and indicates the company's operational leverage and overall business health.

    We remain focused on achieving adjusted EBITDA profitability in the fourth quarter and believe the gains we are seeing in margin, operating efficiency and commercial activity continue to support that objective.

    Q&A highlights

    6

    What factors contributed to the 57% jump in weighted pipeline per seller?

    The increase was attributed to three main factors: new sales leadership opening opportunities, a broader product set attracting more potential brand partners, and an attractive pipeline inherited through the Misfits acquisition.

    “I think it's really 3 things, you talked about 2 of them. One, the leadership has really come in and opened up a lot of new opportunities. Two, we do have a broader product set, and that has given us a chance to speak with more potential brand partners about more opportunities. And then three, we did inherit, through the transaction with Misfits, an attractive pipeline that brought in a higher volume of opportunity.”

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Operational Efficiency & Cost Discipline

    Super League demonstrated strong operational efficiency in Q2, with the percentage of cost of goods related team capacity dedicated to billable client activity increasing approximately 30% relative to Q1. This focus on efficient resource deployment and disciplined cost management allowed the company to maintain its overall cost base, even after integrating the Misfits Ads assets, with total company headcount remaining below pre-acquisition levels.

    02

    Misfits Ads Integration & Expanded Capabilities

    The acquisition of Misfits Ads assets was completed early in Q2, successfully integrating the team without increasing Super League's overall cost base. This integration expanded the company's offerings to include programmatic advertising and turnkey media solutions, which are described as lower lift operationally, generally higher margin, and potentially more predictable revenue sources. A new youth and family marketplace was launched, providing advertisers with programmatic access to kids-safe media within gaming channels.

    03

    Commercial Organization Rebuild & Pipeline Growth

    Super League substantially rebuilt its revenue team starting late in Q2, appointing Anthony Alexander as the new Executive Vice President of Revenue and adding experienced sellers in key markets. This initiative, combined with a broader product set and inherited opportunities from Misfits, led to a 57% increase in weighted pipeline per seller to approximately $2.8 million. The company also closed 6 first-time clients in Q2 and Q3 to date, including Dodge for a program within Fortnite.

    04

    Financial Strength & Capital Structure Simplification

    The company ended Q2 with a strong financial position, holding approximately $6.7 million in cash and investments, a significant increase from $475,000 a year prior. Super League also simplified its capitalization structure by eliminating all preferred stock outstanding for the first time in several years, building on the elimination of debt in the prior year. Management believes existing liquidity is sufficient for ongoing operations without needing to raise additional capital.

    05

    Strategic Priorities for H2 2026

    For the remainder of 2026, Super League's priorities are clear: converting the growing commercial pipeline into revenue, continuously improving the quality and margin profile of that revenue, maintaining cost discipline and operating leverage, and fully integrating and leveraging the capabilities gained from Misfits Ads. These priorities are aimed at translating commercial momentum into sustained revenue growth and achieving adjusted EBITDA profitability by Q4.

    06

    Evolving Product Strategy

    The company has evolved its product strategy from pitching specific products to offering cross-channel solutions optimized for audience and objectives. This approach allows Super League to design programs across mobile, Roblox, CTV, web games, and influencer platforms, acting as a single-point solution for brands to reach targeted gaming audiences and achieve marketing outcomes. This shift is expected to drive growth across all offerings in concert.
