• Guild Membership Explodes: Membership grew to 2.0 million by Q4 2025 (from 1.6 million in Q3 and approximately 550,000 at Q4 2024). As of this report, Guild membership is 2.2 million.
• Average Revenue Per Member (ARPM): Trailing twelve month ARPM was \$13.67 in Q4 2025, nearly flat from \$13.70 in Q3, indicating stability as the company scales rapidly.

  • In 2025, Angel Studios had two of the top ten highest-grossing animated domestic theatrical releases (DAVID and The King of Kings).

CEO Commentary

“We listed on NYSE, achieved the highest average domestic box office per title among all independent distributors, and received by far the highest audience satisfaction scores in the industry—again,” said co-founder and CEO Neal Harmon. “It is all due to the wisdom, passion, and guidance of our Angel Guild, which more than tripled in size this year to more than two million strong, generating \$360 million in annual recurring revenue. The Guild proves every day that there is a growing global audience for values-driven films and television.”

Other Financial and Operational Details

• Selling & Marketing Investment: Q4 2025 selling and marketing costs were \$120.6 million (vs. \$38.0 million in Q4 2024), driven by rapid Guild growth and the DAVID release.
• Balance Sheet Strengthening: Total assets rose to \$241.4 million at year-end 2025 (from \$111.4 million), with significant increases in accounts receivable, digital assets, investments in affiliates, and capitalized software.
• Liabilities Increase: Total liabilities grew to \$267.2 million (from \$94.7 million), reflecting expansion financing, higher deferred revenue, and payables associated with growth and releases.
• Cash Flow: Operating cash flow was negative \$83.3 million in 2025, reflecting heavy investment in content, marketing, and member acquisition, but offset by robust financing activities (net inflow of \$175.8 million in 2025 vs. \$46.2 million in 2024).
• Adjusted EBITDA Reporting: The company will begin regularly reporting Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), starting with the next quarter.
• Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR): Calculated as Guild Members x ARPM (\$13.67 annualized), currently representing \$360 million, a strong forward-looking revenue indicator.
• Webinar Announced: Angel will host a webinar for investors and analysts on March 13, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

Potential Shareholder Impact and Price-Sensitive Information

• Exceptional Revenue Growth: Sustained triple-digit revenue and recurring revenue growth may positively impact investor sentiment and share price expectations.
• Guild Membership Momentum: Rapid growth in paying Guild members is a significant value driver, supporting recurring revenues and content funding.
• Path to Profitability: Although net losses widened in 2025 due to aggressive investment, the guidance for a substantially narrowed Adjusted EBITDA loss (less than \$25 million in FY2026) signals a credible path toward profitability that could be price-moving.
• Content Slate and Pipeline: The expansion of the streaming library and a robust slate of high-profile theatrical releases position Angel for continued audience and revenue growth.
• Strengthened Cash and Capital: The company’s improved cash position and ability to raise capital support ongoing investment and reduce liquidity concerns.
• Risks: The company cites risks such as the need to maintain Guild growth, execution around content releases, competition, macroeconomic factors, and capital market volatility. These should be weighed by investors given the company’s still-significant losses and rapid expansion.

Conclusion

Angel Studios is reporting transformational growth, driven by a unique recurring revenue model and audience-driven content strategy. Investors should monitor the company’s continued Guild expansion, the performance of upcoming theatrical releases, and progress toward profitability, as these will likely influence share price performance in the coming quarters.
