TORONTO, LOS ANGELES and MUMBAI, India, Aug. 31, 2026 /CNW/ -- QYOU Media Inc., (TSXV: QYOU) (OTCQB: QYOUF) a company operating in North America and India producing, marketing and distributing content created by social media stars and digital content creators, has reported financial results for the three months ended June 30th, 2026 (Q2 FY 2026).  All amounts are in Canadian dollars.

• Record Q2 revenue: The company reported Q2 revenue of $7,270,657, an increase of $1,557,405 or 27% compared to the same period prior year.  This was driven by the continued strong growth of the influencer marketing business units in both North America and India.

• Adjusted EBITDA: The Adjusted EBITDA loss for the period ended June 30, 2026 was $952,476, compared to the Adjusted EBITDA of $405 in the same period prior year.

*Note on Adjusted EBITDA:

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), we present certain results using "Adjusted EBITDA" which is a non-IFRS financial measure. We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as revenue minus operating expenses excluding non-cash and or non-recurring operating expenses of stock-based compensation, marketing credits, depreciation and amortization (interest and taxes are not included in the Company's operating expenses).The presentation of non-IFRS financial measurement are not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, operating loss or net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities or any other measures of cash flows or liquidity.

Adjusted EBITDA is used as an internal measure to evaluate the performance of our operating segments. We believe that information about this non-IFRS financial measure assists investors by allowing them to evaluate changes in operating results of our business separate from non-operational factors that affect operating income (loss) and net income (loss), thus providing insights into both operations and other factors that affect reported results. A limitation of the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain amortizing assets used in generating revenue in our business. Furthermore, this measure may vary among companies; thus Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
