Management Commentary
“Our third-quarter results underscore the strength of our community and the momentum of our audience-first model,” said Neal Harmon, Co-Founder and CEO of Angel. “The Angel Guild has grown more than 500% year over year to 1.6 million paying members – a remarkable community that doesn’t just watch, but decides which values-driven films and series get made. We have an exciting slate of projects headed to theaters and the Angel platform, and as audiences seek stories that uplift and inspire, Angel is just beginning to meet that demand.”
Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Total revenue was $76.5 million in the third quarter, and $211.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, compared to $20.1 million and $65.5 million in the prior year periods, respectively. The quarterly increase in revenues was due to an increase in Angel Guild Revenue of $50.2 million year-over-year.
Total cost of revenues for the third quarter was $34.3 million, compared to $8.1 million in the prior year. The increase was due to higher royalty expense of $17.0 million as a result of royalties earned by filmmakers, as they receive an allocation of net revenues generated during the quarter. We also saw higher costs related to the Angel Guild of $7.3 million driven by the increase in memberships during the quarter, consisting of increased transaction processing fees of $5.4 million.
Selling and marketing expense for the third quarter was $64.7 million, compared to $16.6 million in the prior year. This represents $44.1 million in strategic investments made to grow the Angel Guild, and $16.7 million to promote theatrical box office releases. As we continue to bring on additional content, drive Angel Guild memberships and promote future theatrical releases, this cost is expected to fluctuate, but overall remain high and be a significant component of our operating expenses.
Net loss was $38.6 million, a loss of ($0.25) per share, compared to a net loss of $13.9 million, a loss of ($0.10) per share, in the third quarter of 2024.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2025, Angel has cash and cash equivalents of $63.3 million, compared to $7.2 million as of December 31, 2024.
The Company continues to execute its treasury strategy to hold Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, with BTC holdings now valued at $34.5 million.
