GameSquare Sells Non-Core Content Management Software and PR Media Distribution Assets

FRISCO, TX / ACCESSWIRE / June 3, 2024 / GameSquare Holdings, Inc. ("GameSquare") (NASDAQ:GAME) , announces that on May 31, 2024, GameSquare and its Frankly Media LLC subsidiary ("Frankly") sold certain non-core assets. Immergo acquired Frankly's Content Management Software ("CMS") and XPR acquired Frankly's PR distribution business. Combined Frankly's CMS and PR distribution assets generated approximately $1.6 million in annual revenue, and GameSquare sold these non-core assets for a total consideration of $2.2 million that will be paid over a three-year period. GameSquare also removed approximately $2.3 million of annual operating expenses associated with these businesses.

"We continue to pursue strategies that streamline our business, add non-dilutive capital, and prioritize our high-growth, high-margin businesses. Over the past six months we have divested four non-core assets for a total consideration of nearly $16 million, while acquiring FaZe Clan in all stock for the equivalent of $14 million and sold 49% of FaZe Media to Matt Kalish for $11 million. Selling our non-core CMS and PR distribution assets also eliminates approximately $2.3 million of annual expenses, adding to our cost reduction strategies and our pursuit of profitability," stated Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare.

"I am pleased to announce that recent non-core asset sales have been completed at an average valuation of approximately 1.4x trailing-12 month sales, compared to GameSquare's current market cap of approximately 0.4x trailing 12-month proforma sales. I believe this reflects the strategies we are following to unlock and create value for our shareholders," concluded Mr. Kenna.
