TORONTO, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sabio Holdings Inc. (TSXV: SBIO) (OTCQB: SABOF) (the “Company” or “Sabio”), a Los Angeles-based ad-tech company helping global brands reach, engage and validate (R.E.V.) streaming TV audiences, today announced its audited consolidated financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.

“Despite economic uncertainties, including tariff-related impacts on two of our larger verticals, automotive and telecommunications, Sabio delivered double-digit top-line growth in its core business, supported by ongoing investment in product innovation and geographic expansion,” said Aziz Rahimtoola, Sabio Holdings’ CEO. “2025 was a year of strategic execution and transformation for Sabio. We scaled programmatic, expanded internationally, and built out Creator TV, further diversifying our revenue base. These initiatives are now contributing meaningfully to our results and positioning us for more predictable, scalable growth, underscoring the resilience of our platform and customer base even amid category-specific softness.”

“As we enter 2026, we are doing so with strong momentum across our business and ahead of a major U.S. mid-term election cycle. Historically, these cycles drive significant demand for streaming TV and mobile video advertising, and we believe Sabio is better positioned than ever to capture that opportunity.”

Fiscal 2025 Financial Highlights

• Full-year consolidated gross revenue¹ of $41.3 million (vs. $49.6 million in FY2024) and up 15% from $36.0 million in the last non-election year (2023). Core-business gross revenue² grew 10% year over year, normalized for political and advocacy.
• Core ad-supported streaming gross revenue² grew 18% year over year (normalized for political and advocacy). Total ad-supported streaming gross revenue² declined to $30.2 million from $38.6 million, reflecting the expected post-election pullback in political and advocacy spending.
• Sabio’s newest international and programmatic offerings accelerated through 2025, with international sales³ rising from $0.2 million in Q1 to $2.6 million in Q4, and programmatic sales from $0.2 million to $2.7 million.
• Full year gross margin of 60%.
• Full-year Adjusted EBITDA⁴ loss of $7.1 million (vs. $3.8 million gain in FY2024), driven by lower political and advocacy spend in a non-election year, continued investment in growth initiatives (international, programmatic and Creator TV), and higher cloud infrastructure costs to support scaling programmatic and international volumes.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

• Consolidated gross revenue¹ of $11.2 million in Q4 2025 (vs. $18.3 million in Q4 2024), reflecting the expected post-election decline in political and advocacy spend, with some softness in select verticals tied to tariff uncertainty. Despite these headwinds, core-business gross revenue² grew 10% year over year, normalized for political and advocacy.
• Core ad-supported streaming gross revenue² grew 29% year over year (normalized for political and advocacy). Total ad-supported streaming gross revenue² declined to $8.4 million from $14.5 million, reflecting elevated spend in the prior year tied to the 2024 U.S. general election.
• Programmatic and international channels represented 48% of Q4 2025 revenue mix.
• Gross margin remained strong (57%), supported by Sabio’s end-to-end technology stack amid an evolving revenue mix.
• Adjusted EBITDA⁴ loss of $2.1 million (vs. $2.8 million gain in Q4 2024), reflecting lower political and advocacy spend in a non-election year and temporary softness in select advertiser categories tied to tariff uncertainty.

Subsequent Highlights

• On April 29, 2026, the Company completed a tranche of a non-brokered private placement of 12% subordinated, secured convertible debentures for gross proceeds of CAD $900,000. The debentures have a 12-month term, bear 12% simple interest (calculated daily, paid semi-annually in arrears and at conversion or maturity), and are convertible at the holder’s option at C$0.30 per share. The debentures are secured by a general security agreement over all present and after-acquired personal property. At maturity, any unconverted principal is repayable at 107% plus accrued interest. The Company may complete additional tranches.

As these channels grow, Sabio expects to benefit from increased operating leverage through its technology platform, enabling more efficient revenue growth with limited incremental headcount.

Sabio’s strengthened customer base and high level of reoccurring revenue also provide increased visibility and predictability entering the year.

Early 2026 Trends
Based on current internal data and sales pipeline trends, early activity in the first quarter of 2026 indicates continued strong momentum, with programmatic and international revenues³ growing at over 20x year-over-year levels. 

Positioned for U.S. Mid-Term Election Cycle
Sabio is entering the 2026 U.S. mid-term election cycle, which historically drives significant demand across streaming TV and mobile video advertising.

The Company expects:

• Increased political and advocacy advertising spend
• Improved cash flow visibility due to prepaid campaign spending
• Potential margin expansion driven by premium demand for targeted advertising

With a more diversified revenue base, expanded product capabilities, and scaled global footprint, Sabio expects strong performance throughout 2026, with momentum building through the election cycle and continuing into the remainder of the year.

Selected Financials
(All figures in US$ unless otherwise noted)

^*See “Use of Non-IFRS Measures” below.

The financial disclosures in this news release are subject to a number of cautionary statements, assumptions, contingencies and risks as set forth in this news release. The foregoing outlook and expectations constitute forward-looking statements and financial outlook and are qualified in their entirety by the “Forward-Looking Statements” cautionary statement below. Readers are cautioned that this release if for information purposes only and may not be appropriate for other purposes.

* Use of Non-IFRS Measures
This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) measures including, but not limited to, Adjusted EBITDA and Gross Revenue. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of financial information reported under IFRS. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing a further understanding of operations from management’s perspective.

Management uses adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as a key financial metric to evaluate Sabio’s operating performance as a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS. The term “Adjusted EBITDA”, as defined by management, refers to net income (loss) before adjusting earnings for finance costs, income taxes, stock-based compensation, amortization, non-recurring items, and severance costs. Management believes that the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are not connected to and do not represent the operating performance of Sabio. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated by Sabio’s main business activities prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed as well as expenses related to stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization, restructuring costs, other expense (income), and foreign exchange (gain) loss. Accordingly, management believes that this measure may also be useful to investors in enhancing their understanding of Sabio’s operating performance. It is a key measure used by Sabio’s management and board of directors to understand and evaluate Sabio’s operating performance, to prepare annual budgets, and to help develop operating plans.

The term “Gross Revenue”, as defined by management, represents revenue adjusted by adding back third-party platform costs that are deducted under IFRS presentation. This measure is intended to provide additional insight into the scale of Sabio’s advertising operations, particularly in its programmatic advertising business.  Management believes that Gross Revenue is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the overall transaction volume processed by Sabio’s platform, which management uses to evaluate operational scale and market penetration. Accordingly, management believes that this measure may also be useful to investors in understanding the size and growth of Sabio’s advertising operations. It is a key measure used by Sabio’s management and board of directors to assess platform activity, monitor business trends, and support strategic planning.

Refer to reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA and Gross Revenue under the “Selected Financials” section of this release and in the Company’s MD&A for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, copies of which can be found under Sabio Holdings Inc.’s profile on SEDAR Plus at sedarplus.ca.

Reoccurring revenue is a supplementary financial measure. This measure refers to the percentage of quarterly revenue generated from customers who have previously transacted with Sabio (defined as those with the same brand logo). It is derived from internal tracking systems and is used to assess customer retention and revenue predictability. This metric is not audited.

Ad-supported streaming sales and Mobile advertising revenue are supplementary financial measures that represent the proportion of the Company’s consolidated revenue as reported in its financial statements contributed by the Company’s ad-supported and mobile display product offerings, as is also presented in the Company’s MD&A for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, copies of which can be found under Sabio’s profile on SEDAR+ at sedarplus.ca.

Core ad-supported streaming revenue is a supplementary financial measure that represents revenue generated from Sabio’s core streaming TV and mobile video advertising services, excluding revenue from political and advocacy advertising campaigns.

Programmatic revenue is a supplementary financial measure represents revenue earned from advertising transactions executed through programmatic platforms, including Sabio’s and/or third parties.

International revenue is a supplementary financial measure which represents revenue generated from customers located outside the United States.
