("MPU") for the joint development, production, and global distribution of short dramasManagement Commentary Company co-Chief Executive Officer Hai Shi commented: "The second quarter marked a pivotal and transformative period for Snail, highlighted by our official announcement to develop and launch our own proprietary stablecoin. This strategic initiative represents a significant evolution in our business model, aligning with both our long-term vision and broader momentum in digital financial innovation. Our decision to enter the stablecoin space was both timely and intentional, catalyzed by the recent passage of the GENIUS Act. This legislation has begun to establish a formal regulatory foundation for stablecoins, offering a clearer framework that supports innovation while fostering trust and transparency, creating an ideal environment to develop a fully compliant digital asset. Beyond its role in the broader financial ecosystem, we envision our stablecoin unlocking a wide range of external use cases - delivering secure, compliant, and scalable solutions that address key gaps in today's digital asset payment landscape. Importantly, we see strong potential to integrate stablecoin functionality within our core gaming business, offering long-term opportunities to enhance game economies and facilitate seamless transactions."To that end, we've taken deliberate steps to set this initiative up for success, beginning with the retainment of strategic consultant partners and legal advisors. We are actively building the technological infrastructure and compliance architecture required to support a robust, scalable, and secure stablecoin ecosystem. We also recently entered into an at-the-market offering agreement, marking the beginning of our capital formation strategy to build the reserve backing needed for our stablecoin initiative. We remain committed to providing consistent market updates to foster transparent communications with our shareholders as we work toward the successful long-term launch of our stablecoin."Company co-Chief Executive Officer Tony Tian commented: "Beyond our stablecoin initiative, our core gaming business continues to demonstrate strong momentum, with notable performance in the month of June driven by our annual Steam Publisher Sale event. This event drove significant engagement across our game portfolio, especially within the ARK franchise, which remains a key pillar of our content ecosystem. June also marked the 10-year anniversary of the ARK franchise, an achievement that could not be accomplished without the support of the ARK community. Tied to the anniversary, there were many new content drops and updates to celebrate this milestone, further driving engagement. We remain committed to delivering consistent value through regular content updates and expansions for ARK, while also strategically pursuing opportunities to develop, acquire, and launch titles within our indie portfolio. Looking ahead to the remainder of the year, our teams are focused on preparing for the launch of ARK: Lost Colony, while simultaneously advancing a slate of indie titles currently in the pipeline. These efforts underscore our dedication to growing across all facets of our business and continuing to serve our global player base with compelling and original content."Second Quarter 2025 Financial HighlightsNet revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased to $22.2 million compared to $21.6 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in total ARK sales of $3.3 million, $3.0 million recognized for the inclusion of ARK: Survival Ascended in a platform subscription program in 2025, an increase in sales of the ARK Mobile of $0.6 million that was driven by the release of ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition, and an increase in revenues related to other games of $0.3 million due to the release of various games, partially offset by the increase in deferred revenues of $3.7 million and a decrease in revenues related to Bellwright of $3.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $(16.6) million compared to net income of $2.3 million in the same period last year, primarily due to increases in the cost of revenues and operating expenses – a result of the Company's increased headcount, research and development, and marketing expenses and the recognition of a valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax assets of $12.9 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2025.Bookings for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased 18.5% to $27.1 million compared to $22.9 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by various sales promotions in 2025 that did not occur in 2024, specifically around ARK: Survival Evolved and the release of ARK: Lost Colony to presale in 2025.Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $(2.4) million compared to $3.1 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in net loss of $18.9 million, partially offset by an increase in interest income and interest income – related parties of $0.1 million, and an increase in the income tax provision of $13.3 million.As of June 30, 2025, unrestricted cash was $7.9 million compared to $7.3 million as of December 31, 2024.Six Months 2025 Financial HighlightsNet revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased 18.4% to $42.3 million compared to $35.7 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in total ARK sales of $6.1 million, $3.0 million in revenues for the inclusion of ARK: Survival Ascended in a platform subscription program and an increase in sales of the ARK Mobile of $1.9 million that was driven by the release of ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition, partially offset by the decrease in revenue specific to Bellwright of $2.2 million, a non-reoccurring Angela Games settlement of $1.2 million occurring in 2024, the related decrease in Angela Games revenues of $0.7 million, and the increase in deferred revenue of $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to June 30, 2024.Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $(18.5) million compared to $0.5 million in the same period last year, primarily due to increases in the cost of revenues and operating expenses – a result of the Company's increased headcount, research and development, and marketing expenses, and an increase in income tax provision of $12.3 million, a result of the valuation allowance recognized against the Company's deferred tax assets during the six months ended June 30, 2025.Bookings for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased 16.3% to $49.4 million compared to $42.4 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by the releases of ARK: Survival Ascended DLC Astraeos in the first quarter of 2025, sales promotions that were the first of their kind on ARK: Survival Evolved in 2025, and the release of ARK: Lost Colony to presale in 2025.EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $(5.8) million compared to $1.2 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in net loss of $19.0 million, a decrease in interest expense of $0.3 million, partially offset by an increase in the provision for income taxes of $12.3 million.Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresIn addition to the financial results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Snail believes Bookings and EBITDA, as non-GAAP measures, are useful in evaluating its operating performance. Bookings and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that are presented as supplemental disclosures and should not be construed as alternatives to net income (loss) or revenue as indicators of operating performance, nor as alternatives to cash flow provided by operating activities as measures of liquidity, both as determined in accordance with GAAP. Snail supplementally presents Bookings and EBITDA because they are key operating measures used by management to assess financial performance. Bookings adjusts for the impact of deferrals and, Snail believes, provides a useful indicator of sales in a given period. EBITDA adjusts for items that Snail believes do not reflect the ongoing operating performance of its business, such as certain non-cash items, unusual or infrequent items or items that change from period to period without any material relevance to its operating performance. Management believes Bookings and EBITDA are useful to investors and analysts in highlighting trends in Snail's operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which Snail operates and capital investments.Bookings is defined as the net amount of products and services sold digitally or physically in the period. Bookings is equal to revenues, excluding the impact from deferrals. Below is a reconciliation of total net revenue to Bookings, the closest GAAP financial measure. Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 (in millions)Total net revenue$22.2 $21.6 $42.3 $35.7 Change in deferred net revenue 4.9 1.3 7.1 6.7 Bookings$27.1 $22.9 $49.4 $42.4 We define EBITDA as net loss before (i) interest expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) benefit from income taxes and (iv) depreciation expense.
