Legal wins have removed constraints to future growth of its dual AI and Bitcoin treasury plans.
SINGAPORE, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS) (“Genius Group”, “GNS” or the “Company”), a leading AI-powered education group, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Roger Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group, said: “The first half of 2026 was a period of restructuring. We closed or restructured loss-making divisions, paid down 99% of all third-party debt, and rebuilt the Group around three operating units: Genius School, Genius Academy and Genius Resorts. As a result, the group achieved 140% increase in revenue, with $6.4 million net profit from operating businesses.”
“Since the end of the period, the last of the constraints on the business has been removed. On August 31, 2026 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the preliminary injunction that had restrained the Company from issuing shares, raising capital and purchasing Bitcoin, and we received a final ICC arbitration award in our favor of $7,971,168.53 together with the return of 7,387,374 shares. That allows us to pursue the $1.2 billion capital plan approved by our Board, to fund our dual AI and Bitcoin treasury, and to scale the Genius OS product suite and the Genius City model we launched in Bali. We are focused on building our net asset per share, and further to the growth in our net assets to $106 million, our net asset per share has grown to $0.61 per share.”
The results presented in this release are for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and are unaudited. They include a full six months of the entities acquired in the second half of 2025 - Entrepreneur Resorts Pte Ltd, Tau Game Lodge, Matla Game Lodge, Vision Villa Resort and Genius Cafe, all completed on July 31, 2025, and ProEd Global School, completed in November 2025 - whereas the comparative period ended June 30, 2025 does not include them. Revealed Films, which closed on May 13, 2026, and E-Squared Education Enterprises, which closed in 2025, are presented within discontinued operations for both periods. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2026 have been reviewed by the Company’s auditor and are compared with the reviewed unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Gaurav Dama, CFO of Genius Group, said: “Our priority in the first half was to put the balance sheet on a sound footing. We disposed of the remaining Bitcoin Treasury and repaid third-party debt, which reduced total liabilities by 37% to $25.5 million and lifted net assets 10% to $106 million. At the same time we closed or restructured loss-making divisions and held central costs down. Each operating unit is now expected to fund its own growth, and with the injunction lifted we are able to raise capital on planned terms rather than opportunistically. Net asset value per share remains our reporting focus.”

Investor Notice
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and forward-looking statements described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, as amended for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2026. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the value of our securities could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results in the future. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements made in this press release include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “plan,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” or comparable terminology. Such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties, many of which the Company cannot predict with accuracy and some of which the Company might not even anticipate and involve factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or suggested. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and are advised to consider the factors listed above together with the additional factors under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 20-F, as may be supplemented or amended by the Company’s Reports of a Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K. The Company assumes no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events, new information or otherwise.

Summary Consolidated Financial Data
Operational and Central Results
In addition to our IFRS results, we present our results split between “Operational” and “Central”. Operational comprises the Group’s operating businesses — Genius School, Genius Academy and Genius Resorts, together with the entities that support them — and includes all of the Group’s revenue and cost of revenue and the operating expenses of those businesses. Central comprises the holding company: group head office and corporate costs, financing costs, and the Group’s treasury activities, including its digital asset holdings. Each line of the Operational and Central columns sums to the corresponding line of the consolidated statement of operations, and the Total column agrees to that statement in every period presented.
Summary Financial Data (Operational Metrics)
Non-IFRS Financial Measure
We have included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business.
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as net loss from continuing operations, plus income tax expense or benefit, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring legal expenses, impairment charges and reversals of impairment, revaluation adjustments, the loss on disposal of Bitcoin, share-based compensation expense, bad debt provisions and write-offs. Adjusted EBITDA for the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 has been recalculated on the same continuing-operations basis and therefore differs from the amounts previously reported. The difference arises solely from the change in presentation, under which the results of divisions now reported within discontinued operations are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in all periods presented; the amounts previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F were calculated on a total-operations basis and are therefore not directly comparable.
