Angel Streaming Platform and Theatrical Projects Our streaming library recently surpassed 1,000 titles, and by the end of 2026, we expect to double our library from 2025 by adding 730 titles to the platform (including films, episodes, and comedy specials), making Angel one of the fastest-growing libraries of values-driven films and television series anywhere in the world. Angel is attracting award-winning talent and filmmakers on projects such as Young Washington (starring Golden Globe winners Kelsey Grammer and Mary-Louise Parker along with Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley), The Brink of War (starring Jeff Daniels and Academy Award winner J.K. Simmons) , Runner (starring Owen Wilson and Alan Ritchson) , Angel And The Badman (starring Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones, Zachary Levi, and Neal McDonough), Drummer Boy, Hershey, and Zero A.D. (starring Deva Cassel, Sam Worthington, Jim Caviezel, and Ben Mendelsohn). Solo Mio , starring Kevin James, is one of Rotten Tomatoes’ highest audience-ranked romantic comedies of all time 3 and is driving new Guild membership growth to the platform, after surpassing $25 million at the domestic box office. Story Continues Message from our CEO: "The Angel Guild continued to expand, growing 11 percent while the company had a more efficient theatrical marketing spend. The scale and momentum of the Guild create a powerful flywheel," said Neal Harmon, co-founder and CEO, Angel. "As premium filmmakers and high-demand genres strengthen the Angel library, the Guild grows faster, expanding the royalty pool and making Angel even more compelling to filmmakers. Each new genre unlocks audience segments, expands our addressable market, lowers customer acquisition costs, and deepens engagement." Message from our CFO: "Recurring revenue from the Angel Guild is the engine of our business," said Scott Klossner, CFO, Angel. "We delivered record topline revenue, greater marketing efficiency, improved gross margin, and positive Adjusted EBITDA this quarter. Our growth is powered by Angel’s innovative audience-centric model and aligning filmmakers directly with audience demand through shared upside." First Quarter 2026 Financial Results Total revenue was $115.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $47.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in revenue was largely due to an increase in Angel Guild revenue, which totaled $83.3 million in Q1 2026. Angel Guild membership grew from 1.08 million in Q1 2025 to 2.22 million members in Q1 2026. Gross profit was $71.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $28.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing a 154% year-over-year increase. Gross margin expanded to approximately 62% from 59% in the prior-year period, reflecting revenue growth that outpaced the increase in cost of revenues. Selling and marketing expenses were $56.6 million, representing 49% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $50.5 million, representing 107% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2025. Net loss was $13.8 million, or ($0.08) per share, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of $37.3 million, or $(0.26) per share, in the first quarter of 2025 2 .

About Angel Angel (NYSE: ANGX) is a media and technology company successfully pioneering a first-of-its-kind audience-driven studio model. Founded by brothers who struggled to find films they could watch with their children, Angel was built on the belief that there was a global audience hungry for values-driven storytelling that amplifies light, celebrates hope, and inspires the moral imagination of viewers. That audience became the Angel Guild, a rapidly growing community of more than 2 million paying members who watch, screen, and vote on which films and television series get produced and distributed in theaters and on the Angel app. With 100 films and more than 30 television series on the platform, Angel has achieved the highest audience satisfaction scores in the industry and the highest average domestic box office per title among all independent studios. It has done so while evolving a new economic model that shares profits more fully with filmmakers. For more information, visit www.angel.com .

Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net loss or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated due to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: the Company's ability to grow and retain its Angel Guild membership base; the performance of the Company's theatrical and streaming content releases, including audience reception and box office results; competitive pressures from other streaming platforms, studios, and entertainment alternatives; adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, changes in consumer spending, or capital market disruptions that could affect the Company's access to financing or its operating costs; and other risks described from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risks and uncertainties described under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
