Q & A Highlights
Warning! GuruFocus has detected 9 Warning Signs with SLE.
Q: Can you touch a little bit on the new revenue lines, particularly mobile and programmatic, and describe the scope of the opportunity for each? What do you expect the revenue mix to look like in the future? A: This year, the real opportunity will likely remain in mobile in terms of diversification. The subscription product and our partnership to move into TikTok will just be getting started and probably not be as material compared to mobile. Our target for mobile is to get it closer to 25% of our revenue this year. Looking ahead, we hope immersive platforms will represent 50-60% of our revenue, with 40-50% coming from other areas connected to gaming and gamified content platforms. Matt Edelman, President and CEO
Q: Do you expect your operating expenses to remain stable, or do you foresee any changes? A: We do not plan to increase our expense footprint. We believe we have right-sized the business to achieve profitability. The flow of dollars will continue to be somewhat seasonal, with more advertising spending in certain quarters. We don't anticipate growth in expenses, but revenue may dip in the first half of next year, followed by an acceleration in the second half. Matt Edelman, President and CEO
Q: Has the hesitation among your customer base started to abate, and has activity increased in Q3? A: Yes, the fear we had in late Q1 and early Q2 about budget cuts did not materialize. Budgets were paused, not cut, and many campaigns were pushed out. Since then, budgets have opened up, and we are seeing stronger signs, especially relative to Q4. Matt Edelman, President and CEO
Q: What is the cycle for your sales team reaching full capacity, and what can we expect in terms of adding new people? A: When bringing someone new into the sales organization, it takes about six months for them to operate at full throttle. Our East Coast team, which solidified late last year, is now hitting its stride, encouraging us for the second half of the year. Matt Edelman, President and CEO
Q: Are you considering partnerships or acquisitions to exploit the Genius Act and stablecoin opportunities? A: We have several ideas on how the Genius Act might open business opportunities for Super League. We are surrounding ourselves with the right expertise and potential partners to ensure we enter the space from the right starting point. The regulatory framework allows us to leverage existing infrastructure for compelling consumer propositions. Matt Edelman, President and CEO
