("Gaxos" or the "Company")(NASDAQ: GXAI), a company developing artificial intelligence applications across various high-growth sectors, today reported financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Second-quarter consolidated revenue reached a record of $2.46 million, representing an increase of 35.8% from $1.81 million in the first quarter of 2026 and an increase of 1,337% from $0.17 million in second quarter of 2025. “Our second-quarter results show continued commercial momentum across our core business,” said Vadim Mats, Chief Executive Officer of Gaxos. “We achieved record quarterly revenue at nearly twice the rate of advertising expense growth and generated more revenue from each advertising dollar invested. We believe these results demonstrate the scalability of our operating platforms and the effectiveness of our increasingly disciplined approach to growth and capital allocation.” Second Quarter Financial Highlights <ul type="disc"><li style="margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:8pt; text-align:justify;">Record consolidated revenue of approximately $2.46 million, increasing 35.8% from the first quarter of 2026 and 1,337% from the second quarter of 2025.</li><li style="margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:8pt; text-align:justify;">GAAP net income of $241,056, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, primarily reflecting a gain from the gaming asset sale.</li><li style="margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:8pt; text-align:justify;">Advertising and marketing expense amounted to $3,141,273 in the second quarter compared with $2,766,824 in the first quarter of 2026.</li><li style="margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:8pt; text-align:justify;">Revenue generated per advertising dollar improved approximately 20% to $0.78 from $0.65 in the first quarter.</li><li style="margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:8pt; text-align:justify;">Revenue increased 35.8%, substantially outpacing the approximately 13.5% increase in advertising and marketing expense.</li><li style="margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:8pt; text-align:justify;">Cash and short-term investments remained strong at approximately $11.44 million as of June 30, 2026.</li></ul> Improving Marketing Efficiency Revenue increased 35.8% sequentially during the second quarter, while advertising and marketing expense increased approximately 13.5%. As a result, revenue generated per advertising dollar improved approximately 20%, reaching $0.78 compared with approximately $0.65 in the first quarter. Advertising and marketing expense represented approximately 128% of revenue during the second quarter, compared with approximately 153% in the first quarter, an improvement of approximately 16.4%. Advertising and marketing expense totaled approximately $3.14 million during the second quarter, compared with approximately $2.77 million during the first quarter. “We are applying a more disciplined, data-driven approach to customer acquisition,” Mats continued. “By concentrating spending on the customer segments, marketing channels and products demonstrating the strongest retention and contribution economics, we increased revenue at a substantially faster rate than advertising expense during the second quarter. We intend to continue building on that progress.” Focused Operating Strategy with Retained Portfolio Upside During the second quarter, Gaxos completed the sale of substantially all its gaming assets, including its mobile-game portfolio and Gaxos Gaming Labs, to Game Foundry AI.
