Positive
  • 130% increase in pro forma revenue to $20.7M in H1 2024
  • 37% reduction in pro forma adjusted EBITDA loss
  • Revenue growth from $11.8M to $13.2M in H1 2024
Negative
  • Continued adjusted EBITDA net loss of $5.9M in H1 2024
  • Pro forma adjusted EBITDA remains negative at $4.6M

Insights

The preliminary financial results reveal mixed signals. While the 130% pro forma revenue growth to $20.7 million is impressive, the company still operates at a loss with pro forma adjusted EBITDA of -$4.6 million. The reduction in EBITDA loss by 37% shows improving operational efficiency, but achieving profitability remains a key challenge.

The inclusion of FatBrain AI transaction impacts comparability, making the actual organic growth harder to assess. The company's pivot to a Bitcoin-first strategy and AI education model represents a significant strategic shift, though monetization and integration success remain to be proven. The upcoming Bitcoin Treasury Plan and detailed financial results will be important for evaluating the company's financial health and strategy execution.

The strategic combination of AI education and Bitcoin-first approach marks an innovative but risky direction. The development of AI avatars and the Genius Cities platform demonstrates technological advancement, but success will depend on practical implementation and market adoption. The edtech sector is highly competitive and while exceeding industry growth rates is positive, sustainable differentiation through AI capabilities will be important for long-term success.

“Whilst our auditors complete their review of our first half financial results of 2024 in the coming weeks, we are pleased to provide preliminary results on our revenue and adjusted EBITDA. We believe our 130% pro forma revenue growth continues our track record of exceeding the Edtech industry growth rate as a whole, and our reduction in EBITDA loss is a direct result of our strategy of becoming a self-sustaining, cash positive business.” said Roger Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group.

“We look forward to the coming month, in which we will be providing detailed first half financial results following the completion of our auditors’ review, together with guidance for the full year including our Bitcoin Treasury Plan. We believe our AI education and acceleration model, including our Genius Cities platform and latest AI avatars, provides a powerful value add layer to our Bitcoin-first strategy, and we believe in the coming year we will solidify our leadership position in delivering AI powered training and tools for the future of work.”

Pro Forma Financial Results

Genius Group pro forma financial results take into account the Group Companies including FatBrain AI – with the transaction completed in March 2024.

The Pro Forma Financial Results should be viewed as the current group’s financial performance, of which the audited financial results represent a subset of this group. The historical results do not necessarily indicate our expected results for any future periods.

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.
