Company Highlights
- Led the quarter with the release of Young Washington, which drove Guild memberships while delivering $47 million at the domestic box office, Angel’s highest-grossing release of 2026
- Continued to scale Angel’s TV and film library to over 1,500 releases, up from 837 releases on December 31, 2025
- Completed the previously announced acquisitions of Tuttle Twins and The Wingfeather Saga, increasing total class A common stock share count by 9.4 million, and as of September 30, 2026 there are 196,323,468 shares issued and outstanding
CEO Commentary
Our model continues to show results, surpassing analyst expectations. Q3 revenue more than doubled year-over-year to $159 million, and we added approximately 335,000 net new members in the quarter to reach 2.94 million paying Guild members, while the rest of the US subscription video on demand (SVOD) industry lost 1.7 million subscribers, according to Antenna*. Just as important, we are scaling more efficiently. Guild selling and marketing expense was 55% of Guild revenue this quarter, compared to 75% a year ago.
The Angel team has more than doubled revenue in our first year as a publicly listed company. But we have greater ambitions than that. I am reminded of a quote from Cabrini, “The world is too small for what [we] intend to do.”

Notes
Note 1. Non-GAAP Financial Measures
“Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation expense, and the gain/loss on digital assets, as well as exceptional items. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance to evaluate the performance of the Company’s core business operations, to facilitate comparisons of operating results across reporting periods, and to assist in planning and forecasting future periods. Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net loss or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Note 2. Other Definitions
Paying Guild members
Angel Guild paying members represents the number of memberships with an active paid Angel Guild subscription as of the end of the period.
Guild selling and marketing expense
Guild selling and marketing expense is the portion of our selling and marketing expense spent on acquiring and retaining Angel Guild members. It consists mainly of paid digital advertising and other member-acquisition and retention marketing. It excludes marketing for theatrical releases and other non-Guild marketing. We present it as a percentage of Angel Guild revenue for the same period, which shows how efficiently we grow the Guild.

About Angel
Angel (NYSE: ANGX) is a media and technology company successfully pioneering a first-of-its-kind audience-driven model. Founded by brothers who struggled to find films they could watch with their children, Angel was built on the belief that there was a global audience hungry for values-driven storytelling that amplifies light, celebrates hope, and inspires the moral imagination of viewers. That audience became the Angel Guild, a rapidly growing community of approximately 2.94 million paying members* who watch, screen, and vote on which films and television series get produced and distributed on the Angel platform. According to Rotten Tomatoes, Angel’s releases average among the highest audience satisfaction scores in the industry.** It has done so while evolving a new economic model that shares profits more fully with filmmakers, with cumulative filmmaker earnings of $323 million, as of September 30, 2026. For more information, visit www.angel.com.
