49% Year-to-Date Revenue Growth and 71% Adjusted Gross Margin Drive OAM’s Path to Profitability
TORONTO, Nov. 27, 2024 /CNW/ – OverActive Media Corp. (“OverActive” or the “Company”) (TSXV: OAM) (OTC: OAMCF), a global esports, and entertainment company for today’s generation of fans, released its third-quarter results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024.
Note to reader: A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from “League Revenues,” which have historically varied in the quarter they were received, making period-over-period comparisons less meaningful. To address this, the Company has adopted a straight-line revenue recognition model, distributing revenue evenly over 12 months. This approach ensures more consistent quarter-to-quarter comparisons. The normalized financials in this press release reflect this change, providing clearer insights into the Company’s performance. All amounts are presented in Canadian dollars ($).

“Our third-quarter results demonstrate OverActive Media’s disciplined execution and growth. With year-to-date revenue up 49% to $17.1 million and positive net income of $239,000, we are making significant progress,” said Adam Adamou, CEO of OverActive Media. “This growth is driven by strategic changes, including renegotiated league agreements, increased digital revenue, and contributions from our KOI and Riders acquisitions, as well as our entry into the VALORANT EMEA ecosystem. We delivered positive Adjusted EBITDA this quarter and significantly reduced year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA losses by 45%, illustrating our strong path forward.”
Mr. Adamou continued, “Restructuring agreements with Activision earlier this year eliminated over $35 million in liabilities, strengthening our net working capital to $9.4 million. Additionally, post-quarter, we finalized a new Riot Games agreement that eliminated the remaining $2 million franchise fee for our LEC team, securing full ownership of our franchises without future obligations. These restructured agreements have enabled us to generate high-margin revenue streams, especially in digital merchandise and microtransactions.
Mr. Adamou concluded, “Today, we are operating from a position of financial strength — debt-free, globally diversified, and supported by partnerships with iconic brands like Pepsi, AMD, Telefónica, and Bell. With a clear strategy, strong margins, and transformative agreements in place, we are focused on expanding our opportunities and driving sustainable, profitable growth in the near future.”
Q3 2024 Financial Highlights
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $6.8 million, reflecting a 14% increase compared to $6.0 million in the same period of 2023. On a normalized basis—accounting for changes in revenue recognition—revenue increased by $2.8 million, or 72%. This growth was driven by several strategic initiatives, including the acquisition of Riders and KOI assets in the first quarter and our entry into the VALORANT EMEA ecosystem in February. Additionally, stronger performance across both our Team Operations and Business Operations segments, particularly from digital merchandise (MTX) sales, contributed significantly to this revenue expansion.Operating Costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $7.6 million, compared to $5.4 million for the same period in 2023, reflecting a 42% increase. This rise in costs is primarily attributed to higher payroll expenses across both corporate and team operations, driven by the integration of the recently acquired Riders and the KOI assets. Additionally, one-time restructuring costs incurred as part of our strategic efforts to streamline operations and improve efficiency have also contributed to this increase.Adjusted Gross Profiti for the quarter (defined as revenue less direct costs) remained strong at $5.1 million, resulting in an Adjusted Gross Margini of 74%, compared to $4.8 million and 80% for the same period in 2023. On a normalized basis, Adjusted Gross Profit improved from $2.8 million to $5.1 million for the quarter and Adjusted Gross Margin improved from 71% to 74%. The stability in Adjusted Gross Profit, despite the increase in operating costs, highlights the effectiveness of our revenue growth initiatives, particularly from digital merchandise sales and contributions from our expanded portfolio. These results underscore the scalability of our business model as we continue to execute on strategic opportunities to drive long-term profitability. Adjusted EBITDAi for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was essentially break-even, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA gain of $777,000 in the same period in 2023. This year-over-year decline is primarily due to changes in the timing of revenue recognition for certain league earnings and in-game microtransactions (MTX). On a normalized basis, Adjusted EBITDA showed a significant improvement, moving from a loss of $1.2 million in Q3 2023 to a gain of $4,000 in Q3 2024. This improvement was driven by increased revenues from strategic acquisitions, and successful team performances in key tournaments.Net Loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $1.8 million, representing a 10% improvement compared to a Net Loss of $2.0 million in the same period in 2023. This improvement was driven by strong revenue growth and disciplined cost management, even as the Company absorbed additional expenses related to acquisitions and integration.Net Working Capital (current assets less current liabilities) as of September 30, 2024 improved dramatically to $9.4 million, compared to negative working capital of $4.3 million in the same period in 2023 — a positive shift of $13.7 million. This significant change is primarily the result of the acquired businesses and the restructuring of our league partnerships, which resulted in the elimination of substantial league payables.Cash and Cash Equivalents as of September 30, 2024 totaled $8.9 million, compared to $9.7 million at the same time in 2023. This modest decrease reflects careful asset management, with planned investments directed toward operating activities and acquisition integration costs. The Company’s approach underscores a commitment to balancing strategic growth with operational efficiency while maintaining a strong liquidity position.
Nine Months 2024 Financial Highlights
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 Revenue totaled $17.2 million, a 49% increase compared to $11.5 million during the same period in 2023. After normalizing for changes in revenue recognition, Revenue grew by $6.3 million or 59%. This growth was driven by strategic acquisitions of Riders and KOI, stronger performance across Team Operations and Business Operations segments, and contributions from our marketing and influencer activities.Operating Costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $22.4 million, a 30% increase compared to $17.3 million in the same period in 2023. This increase reflects higher payroll expenses, costs associated with integrating acquired businesses, and one-time restructuring expenses. These costs align with the Company’s strategic focus on streamlining operations and positioning for sustainable growth.Adjusted Gross Profit for the period stood at $12.2 million, with an Adjusted Gross Margin of 71%, compared to $7.7 million and 67% for the same period in 2023. On a normalized basis, year-to-date Adjusted Gross Profit significantly improved from $7.0 million to $12.2 million and Adjusted Gross Margin improved from 65% to 71%. The growth in Adjusted Gross Profit underscores the scalability of our revenue model, particularly from digital merchandise and expanded team contributions.Adjusted EBITDA loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $3.0 million, a 45% improvement from the $5.5 million loss reported for the same period in 2023. This improvement reflects robust revenue growth from acquisitions and changes in revenue recognition, offset by integration and restructuring costs.Net Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was a gain of $239,000, compared to a Net Loss of $11.2 million in the same period in 2023. The shift to profitability was driven by strong revenue performance, disciplined cost management, and a gain from the termination of the Call of Duty League franchise obligation.

OverActive does not intend and do not assume any obligation, to update the forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by applicable law.
NON-IFRS MEASURES
This press release includes references to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin. These non-IFRS financial measures are not earnings or cash flow measures recognized by IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Our method of calculating these financial measures may differ from the methods used by other issuers and, accordingly, our definition of these non-IFRS financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned that non-IFRS financial measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of our performance or to cash flows from operating activities as measures of liquidity and cash flows.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company net income or loss before income taxes, finance costs, finance income, depreciation and amortization, decrease in net present value of franchise obligations, foreign exchange gains / loss, assistance payments from Franchise League and government assistance, restructuring and business development costs, impairment charges, and share-based compensation. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of financial performance because it provides an indication of the Company’s ability to capitalize on growth opportunities in a cost-effective manner, finance its ongoing operations and service its financial obligations. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income/loss may be found in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024.
Adjusted Gross Profit is defined by the Company as revenue less the direct operating costs incurred by the Company in generating revenue. Direct operating costs include merchandise, sponsorship and agency expenses, live event expenses and the portion of team prize money revenue paid to team members but do not include other team operation expenses or other indirect operating costs. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is the percentage that Adjusted Gross Profit represents of total revenue. We believe that Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin are important measures of financial performance because they focus on the profitability of our core revenue-generating activities by excluding indirect operating costs. These metrics provide investors with a clearer view of the Company’s ability to deliver value to fans, sponsors, advertisers, and league partners, while maintaining sustainable margins in our primary operations. This distinction helps investors evaluate the underlying performance and efficiency of our revenue streams before considering broader expenses.

Market Challenges
The Patient Engagement Technology market is growing rapidly as payers, providers, and individual users seek to improve healthcare experiences and outcomes. Challenges include engaging chronic disease patients, such as diabetics and geriatric population, through fitness apps, women’s health, mental health, and telehealth solutions. NextGen healthcare providers use software and hardware, including patient portals, mobile applications, and wearables, for preventive care and population health management. Healthcare consumerism demands patient education, care teams, and virtual consultations. Strict regulations ensure secure handling of patient information. Technologists develop AI technologies for preventive care, arthritis management, and clinical trials. Billing and payments, consulting, support and maintenance, and healthcare benefits are essential services. Patient engagement is key to managing deadly and infectious diseases, improving healthcare literacy, and enhancing the role of healthcare professionals, including physicians.The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 sets strict regulations for safeguarding patient data, known as Protected Health Information (PHI). Healthcare providers must sign a contract with patient engagement software vendors, committing to HIPAA compliance and PHI protection. HIPAA’s stringent rules limit advanced patient portal capabilities, falling short of efficient patient engagement solutions. These solutions should provide quick access to patient data, instant information transfer, and personalized communication. Despite HIPAA-supported patient portals, there is a need for more effective patient engagement technologies that meet these criteria.
