Genius Group Announces 140% Increase in Revenue,

$6.4 Million Net Profit from Operating Units, 79% Reduction in Total Net Loss in First Half of 2026

188% increase in Gross Profit, growth in net assets to $106 million

Company restructure in H1 2026 has resulted in profitable operating units, 99% reduction in third-party debt.

79% reduction in total net loss to $4 million, down from $19 million in first half of 2025.

Legal wins have removed constraints to future growth of its dual AI and Bitcoin treasury plans.

SINGAPORE, September 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS) (“Genius Group”, “GNS” or the “Company”), a leading AI-powered education group, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Roger Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group, said: “The first half of 2026 was a period of restructuring. We closed or restructured loss-making divisions, paid down 99% of all third-party debt, and rebuilt the Group around three operating units: Genius School, Genius Academy and Genius Resorts. As a result, the group achieved 140% increase in revenue, with $6.4 million net profit from operating businesses.”

“Since the end of the period, the last of the constraints on the business has been removed. On August 31, 2026 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the preliminary injunction that had restrained the Company from issuing shares, raising capital and purchasing Bitcoin, and we received a final ICC arbitration award in our favor of $7,971,168.53 together with the return of 7,387,374 shares. That allows us to pursue the $1.2 billion capital plan approved by our Board, to fund our dual AI and Bitcoin treasury, and to scale the Genius OS product suite and the Genius City model we launched in Bali. We are focused on building our net asset per share, and further to the growth in our net assets to $106 million, our net asset per share has grown to $0.61 per share.”

The results presented in this release are for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and are unaudited. They include a full six months of the entities acquired in the second half of 2025 - Entrepreneur Resorts Pte Ltd, Tau Game Lodge, Matla Game Lodge, Vision Villa Resort and Genius Cafe, all completed on July 31, 2025, and ProEd Global School, completed in November 2025 - whereas the comparative period ended June 30, 2025 does not include them. Revealed Films, which closed on May 13, 2026, and E-Squared Education Enterprises, which closed in 2025, are presented within discontinued operations for both periods. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2026 have been reviewed by the Company’s auditor and are compared with the reviewed unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Recent Strategic and Operational Highlights

Gaurav Dama, CFO of Genius Group, said: “Our priority in the first half was to put the balance sheet on a sound footing. We disposed of the remaining Bitcoin Treasury and repaid third-party debt, which reduced total liabilities by 37% to $25.5 million and lifted net assets 10% to $106 million. At the same time we closed or restructured loss-making divisions and held central costs down. Each operating unit is now expected to fund its own growth, and with the injunction lifted we are able to raise capital on planned terms rather than opportunistically. Net asset value per share remains our reporting focus.”

Investor Notice

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and forward-looking statements described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, as amended for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2026. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the value of our securities could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results in the future. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements made in this press release include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “plan,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” or comparable terminology. Such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties, many of which the Company cannot predict with accuracy and some of which the Company might not even anticipate and involve factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or suggested. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and are advised to consider the factors listed above together with the additional factors under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 20-F, as may be supplemented or amended by the Company’s Reports of a Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K.

Summary Consolidated Financial Data

Operational and Central Results

In addition to our IFRS results, we present our results split between “Operational” and “Central”. Operational comprises the Group’s operating businesses — Genius School, Genius Academy and Genius Resorts, together with the entities that support them — and includes all of the Group’s revenue and cost of revenue and the operating expenses of those businesses. Central comprises the holding company: group head office and corporate costs, financing costs, and the Group’s treasury activities, including its digital asset holdings. Each line of the Operational and Central columns sums to the corresponding line of the consolidated statement of operations, and the Total column agrees to that statement in every period presented.

Summary Financial Data (Operational Metrics)

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 from continuing operations as net loss from continuing operations, plus income tax expense or benefit, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring legal expenses, impairment charges and reversals of impairment, revaluation adjustments, the loss on disposal of Bitcoin, share-based compensation expense, bad debt provisions and write-offs. Adjusted EBITDA for the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 has been recalculated on the same continuing-operations basis and therefore differs from the amounts previously reported. The difference arises solely from the change in presentation, under which the results of divisions now reported within discontinued operations are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in all periods presented; the amounts previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F were calculated on a total-operations basis and are therefore not directly comparable.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements set out below have been prepared using the recognition and measurement principles applied in the Company’s most recent audited annual financial statements and do not include the notes required for a complete set of financial statements. They have been reviewed by the Company’s auditor and have not been audited.

SINGAPORE, September 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS), a leading AI-powered education group, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Key Business Metrics

We monitor the key business metrics and non-IFRS financial measures set forth below to help us evaluate our business and growth trends, set growth targets and budgets, and measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts. These key business metrics and non-IFRS financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, are not a substitute for IFRS financial measures, and may differ from similarly titled metrics or measures presented by other companies. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Key Business Metrics and Non-IFRS Financial Measures” for detailed descriptions of the measures and metrics shown below.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We deliver AI-powered education and acceleration solutions for the future of work, serving 6 million users in over 100 countries through our Genius City model and our online marketplace of AI training, AI tools and AI talent. Our mission is to disrupt the current education model with a personalized, student-centered, AI-powered lifelong learning curriculum that prepares our global community with the leadership, entrepreneurial and life skills to succeed in today’s market.

Our financial growth model is based on a combination of three main factors:

To provide an accurate discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the financial information discussed below is presented for the Group on the following basis:

Results of Operations

Period Ended June 30, 2026, Compared to Period Ended June 30, 2025

The below discussion and analysis are for the unaudited financials of June 30, 2026 compared to June 30, 2025. For simplicity, any reference to the first half of 2026 is with reference to the 6 months financials as of and for the period ended June 30, 2026, and any reference to the first half of 2025 is with reference to the 6 months financials as of and for the period ended June 30, 2025.

Revenue: Our Group revenues from continuing operations increased from $2.6 million in first half of 2025 to $6.2 million in the first half of 2026, representing a 140% year-on-year increase. The increase was primarily driven by $2.1 million of Resorts Revenue following the acquisition of Entrepreneur Resorts Pte Ltd (ERPL), Tau Game Lodge, Matla Game Lodge, Vision Villa Resort and Genius Cafe, and growth in School Revenue to $2.3 million from $0.4 million in the prior-year period due to acquisition of ProEd, partly offset by a decrease in Academy Revenue to $1.7 million from $2.2 million. Revenue and results of Revealed Films, which was closed during the period, are presented within discontinued operations and are excluded from continuing-operations revenue above for both periods.

Our three main revenue segments are Academy Revenue, School Revenue, and Resorts Revenue. Academy Revenue and School Revenue together represent the Group’s education-related revenue, delivered through GeniusU and the Group’s school entities. Resorts Revenue consists of revenue generated from the Group’s locations through accommodation, food and beverage charges, and reflects the acquisition of Tau Game Lodge, Matla Game Lodge, Genius Cafe and Vision Villa completed at the end of July 2025. The following table shows the breakdown of this revenue into segments for Genius Group, on unaudited basis:

Cost of Revenue: The Group’s cost of revenue from continuing operations was $2.7 million in the first half of 2026, giving gross profit of $3.5 million and a gross margin of 56.6%, compared to cost of revenue of $1.4 million, gross profit of $1.2 million and a gross margin of 47.1% in the first half of 2025. The improvement in gross margin was primarily driven by the addition of higher-margin Resorts and School revenue following the Group’s 2025 acquisitions.

Operating Expenses: The Group had operating expenses from continuing operations of $12.1 million in the first half of 2026, compared to $12.7 million in the first half of 2025, a 4% decrease. The decrease reflects lower depreciation and amortization of $0.4 million and lower foreign exchange losses, together with a reduction in underlying general and administrative costs despite absorbing a full six months of general and administrative costs from the entities acquired in the second half of 2025, partly offset by a $0.2 million increase in legal expenses. Staff costs, development costs, marketing, rental, legal and general expenses remain the primary components of the Group’s operating expenses.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Group recognized a reversal of impairment of $3,179,313 in respect of amounts due from related parties that had been impaired in prior periods. The Group will reassess the recoverability of these balances as of December 31, 2026 in connection with the annual audit, and the amount ultimately recognized may differ from the amount recorded in this interim period.

Non-IFRS Financial Measure — Adjusted EBITDA: 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 from continuing operations as net loss from continuing operations, plus income tax expense or benefit, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring legal expenses, impairment charges and reversals of impairment, revaluation adjustments, the loss on disposal of Bitcoin, share-based compensation expense, bad debt provisions and write-offs. Adjusted EBITDA for the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 has been recalculated on the same continuing-operations basis and therefore differs from the amounts previously reported. The difference arises solely from the change in presentation, under which the results of divisions now reported within discontinued operations are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in all periods presented; the amounts previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F were calculated on a total-operations basis and are therefore not directly comparable.

Adjusted EBITDA (Operational Metrics)

The Group recorded negative Adjusted EBITDA of $(5.73) million in the first half of 2026, compared to negative $(5.53) million in the first half of 2025, broadly in line year on year. The reconciliation excludes the reversal of a related-party impairment, which drove much of the reduction in net loss, while adding back the loss on disposal of digital assets and the period’s one-off items, including $1.2 million of legal expense and $1.0 million of stock-based compensation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Group held $1.9 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026, compared to $2.4 million as of December 31, 2025. Operating activities generated $6.7 million of cash in the period, principally from the realization of the Group’s digital assets, and financing activities generated $1.5 million; these inflows were more than offset by $8.2 million used in investing activities, mainly the purchase of investments at fair value, and $0.5 million of adverse exchange rate movements.

Current Assets: The Group’s current assets reduced from $23.87 million as of December 31, 2025 to $10.10 million as of June 30, 2026, with a current ratio of 0.68 compared to 0.86 as of December 31, 2025. The primary reason for the decrease was the disposal of the Group’s digital assets during the period, which fell from $14.9 million to nil.

Non-Current Assets: The Group’s non-current assets increased from $113.07 million as of December 31, 2025 to $121.39 million as of June 30, 2026, primarily due to an $8.6 million increase in investments at fair value.

Current Liabilities: The Group’s current liabilities decreased from $27.62 million as of December 31, 2025 to $14.91 million as of June 30, 2026, primarily due to the repayment of current loans payable, including the Bitcoin-backed loan, and the settlement of related-party balances during the period.

Non-Current Liabilities: The Group’s non-current liabilities decreased from $12.70 million as of December 31, 2025 to $10.56 million as of June 30, 2026, due to a combination of loan repayments during the period and a movement in the Group’s deferred tax position.

Shareholders’ Equity: The Group’s shareholders’ equity increased from $96.62 million as of December 31, 2025 to $105.97 million as of June 30, 2026. The increase was driven by approximately $12.4 million of share capital issued during the period, comprising the ATM offering, the American Ventures share issuance, shares issued for the Jewel Bank convertible note, shares issued in satisfaction of a liability and employee shares, net of share buybacks, together with a $0.9 million favourable foreign currency translation movement, partly offset by the Group’s net loss of $4.0 million for the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash generated from operations. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments consist mostly of cash on deposit with banks. As of June 30, 2026 we held cash and cash equivalents of $1.89 million at various financial institutions, compared to $2.42 million as of December 31, 2025.

Investments at Fair Value:

During Q2, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a senior secured convertible note, convertible at the Company’s election into 9.9% equity in Jewel Bank. The Company has determined that cost represents the most appropriate estimate of fair value as of June 30, 2026, in accordance with IFRS 9. The Company will reassess this estimate at each reporting date and will remeasure the investment at fair value once sufficient information becomes available.

The Company’s investment in Entrepreneur Resorts Limited (“ERL”) is carried at fair value of $1,381,666 as of June 30, 2026. As no new information or transactions have occurred since December 31, 2025 that would indicate a change in value, the Company has determined that the fair value as of December 31, 2025 remains the best available estimate as of June 30, 2026. Fair value will be reassessed at the next reporting period or upon the occurrence of an event providing evidence of a change in value.

Going Concern

Pursuant to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, the Company is required to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting date, whether conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date on which the financial statements are issued. The Group incurred net loss of US$3.98 million and generated cash flows from operations of US$6.66 million during the period ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026 the Group’s current liabilities of $14.91 million exceeded its current assets of $10.10 million, and the Group had accumulated losses of US$141.68 million. On that basis, management has determined that, without additional capital being raised in the next twelve months, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2026 have been prepared on a going concern basis. Although the Company has taken, and plans to continue to take, proactive measures to strengthen its liquidity position and provide additional financial flexibility, including the capital plan announced on August 27, 2026 and discussions with lenders and bankers, there can be no assurance that these measures, including their timing and terms, will be successful or sufficient.

Subsequent events

Subsequent to June 2026, the Company has issued 9,905,782 ordinary shares for the consideration of $1.65 million for the utilization of At The Market Offering.

Subsequent to June 30, 2026, on September 25, 2026 the Company delivered a notice of acceleration to Jewel Bank under its Senior Secured Convertible Note, citing certain breaches of the Note and related agreements. The parties are in communication regarding the various matters and the outcome cannot be determined at this time.

Subsequent to June 2026, the record date of July 31, 2026 was set for the second round of the Company’s Share Loyalty Bonus Program, under which a cash bonus of $0.10 per qualifying share is payable to shareholders holding shares in book entry through January 30, 2027.

Subsequent to June 2026, the Company announced a five-year capital plan under its $1.2 billion shelf registration, to be funded through the issuance of a publicly registered Perpetual Preferred Security with an initial offering targeted at $12.5 million.

Two developments in the Company’s legal proceedings occurred after the end of the period:
