Super League Enterprise appoints Matt Edelman as CEO

Super League Executive Chair, Ann Hand Commented: “While we have achieved plenty of success across hundreds of campaigns with blue-chip brands, creating innovative technology and growing our audience base, our financial results in the back half of 2024 did not live up to the results we expected. The micro-cap market has not rebounded in ways that we would like, combined with some macro-economic headwinds and structural shifts in the Roblox ad ecosystem, we have had to quickly adapt and be faster and more assertive in building a successful and sustainable business. Yet, we believe in our long-term prospects, and there are positive signs in Q1 – notably that revenue diversification is kicking in, margins are recovering and our pipeline is growing. Our mandate is getting to breakeven for you, our shareholders. In order to do that, we must realign the business. We are aggressively attacking our cost structure to support this priority with an aim to be EBITDA positive in Q4 2025. Concurrently, we are also focusing on larger revenue, higher margin programs to be more selective in where we focus our limited resources. In addition, as part of our realignment, I am moving to Executive Chair role through the end of 2025 and passing the torch to Matt Edelman to be our new CEO. I will continue to support and mentor Matt through the transition process and exploration of strategic alternatives. Matt has been our fearless President for the last two years and has the intellect, deep product and industry knowledge, work ethic, energy and enthusiasm to hit the ground running. In an effort to bolster our Board, we are thrilled to appoint Bant Breen as a Director. Bant is a noted marketing and media executive, entrepreneur and academic…As for the opportunity we announced with Infinite Reality in October 2024, while discussions continue, the deal has not been completed and the exclusivity period has expired. This has allowed us to advance towards exciting alternatives that are very on-strategy for Super League. These pursuits have significant business overlap with us for more material topline and cost synergies – and they are companies that are close to breakeven or already profitable and could accelerate our path to EBITDA positive with a more dominant position in the playable digital advertising space.”
