Genius Group Announces 25% Increase in Revenue on proforma basis,

57% Decrease in Net Loss per Share in First Half of 2025

 

Total assets increased 20% to $121.3 million

 

SINGAPORE, September 23, 2025 - Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS) (“Genius Group” or the “Company”), a leading AI-powered, Bitcoin-first education group, today announced its financial results for the first half of 2025.

 

Roger Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group, said “In the first half of 2025, Genius Group was hamstrung by a preliminary injunction preventing the company from raising funds or building its treasury. We have claimed in a RICO lawsuit (Case No: 1:25-cv-21496-BB) that this was a deliberate act taken by third parties to damage the company and its shareholders. We are pleased that further to the injunction being stayed on appeal in April, we had enough time to begin to repair the damage. As a result, we are pleased to report a strengthening of our operations and our balance sheet as at the end of June 2025.”

 

“Furthermore, the second half of 2025 has proven to be the strongest in our history, with a series of successful M&A transactions and product launches resulting in rapid growth in our Genius Academy, our Bitcoin Treasury and the launch of our Genius City model. We have seen a more than 600% increase in our market capitalization over the last six months and are now exceptionally well positioned for positive, profitable growth in the year ahead.”

 

Genius Group’s unaudited first half financial results are for the operations of the Company including financials related to the Entrepreneur Resorts Ltd (ERL), Genius City (GC) and ProEd (PE) transactions signed in the second half of 2025. The financial results are prepared on an auditor review basis (existing group) and proforma (including acquisitions) for June 2025 and are compared with reviewed financials of June 2024.

 

Financial Highlights for the First Half of 2025

 

 

First half revenue of $6.1 million on proforma basis ($2.7 million on review basis), compared to $4.9 million for first half of 2024 on review basis, representing a 25% year-on-year revenue growth on proforma basis and 44.32% reduction on review basis. The increase in revenue on pro forma basis is primarily due to acquisition of ERL and PE, whilst the decrease in revenue on review basis is due to both the closure in 2024 of loss-making subsidiaries and the reduction of revenues due to downsizing operations as a result of the Preliminary Injunction (PI).

 

 

First half operating expenses of $13.5 million on proforma basis ($13.1 million on review basis), compared to $10.8 million for first half of 2024. The increase in cost of the existing group is due to the legal and compliance cost due to the dispute related to the failed 2024 transaction of LZG International Inc (LZGI) and the PI.

 

 

First half total loss of $17.3 million on proforma basis ($18.5 million on review basis), compared to $8.8 million loss for first half of 2024. The Company has calculated that $15.9 million of the loss was directly due to the impact of the PI, including the cost resulting from the forced liquidation of Bitcoin at a loss, legal fees and related costs of the PI. These are the subject of the RICO lawsuit in which the Company is claiming for $750 million in triple damages.

 

 

First half loss per share of ($0.36) per basic and diluted share compared to loss per share of ($0.84) per basic and diluted share in first half of 2024, representing a 57% reduction in loss per share.

 

 

$3.70 million cash and equivalents on proforma basis as of June 30, 2025 ($2.70 million on review basis), compared to $1.61 million as of December 31, 2024, representing a 130% increase.

 

 

First half total current assets of $32.5 million on proforma basis ($27.01 million on review basis), compared to $42.41 million as of December 31, 2024, representing a 23% decrease. The reduction was mainly due to the liquidation of Bitcoin during the period. GNS was holding 319.43 BTC as of December 31, 2024 which reduced to 100.10 BTC as of June 30, 2025.

 

 

First half total assets of $121.26 million on proforma basis ($85.03 million on review basis), compared to $101.05 million as of December 31, 2024, representing a 20% increase in total assets. Whilst total assets on review basis decreased due to the liquidation of Bitcoin during the period, total assets on proforma basis grew as a result of the M&A transactions in the second half of 2025. GNS was holding 319.43 BTC as of December 31, 2024 which reduced to 100.10 BTC as of June 30, 2025.

 

 

First half net assets of $85.59 million on proforma basis ($67.8 million on review basis), compared to $79.41 million as of December 31, 2024, representing an increase of 8%.

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 as net profit / loss for the period plus income taxes and social contribution plus / minus finance revenue /expense result plus depreciation and amortization plus impairments plus revaluation adjustment of contingent liabilities plus share-based compensation expenses plus bad debt provision.
