Executive Summary

• Q2 2025 delivered strong year-over-year improvements: revenue up 37.7% to $2.59M, gross margin expanded to 82.4%, and net income rose 103% to $4.24M, aided by $1.1M of other operating income including an $0.8M insurance settlement .
• Le Mans Ultimate momentum accelerated with Version 1.0 released on July 22 and record engagement, while RaceControl subscription KPIs showed rapid growth and high retention, reinforcing a SaaS pivot alongside unit sales .
• Management reiterated no formal forward guidance; near-term catalysts include ELMS expansion DLC targeted by end of Q3 and potential console port/publisher funding discussions that could de-risk cash flows .
• Liquidity improved with cash at $2.4M on 6/30 and $2.8M by 7/31, but the company still expects net operating cash outflows as it invests in new titles; funding and strategic alternatives remain active considerations .

Key Takeaways for Investors

• Mix and margin: LMU-driven digital sales plus subscription revenue expanded gross margin to 82.4% and lifted Adjusted EBITDA to $3.70M; monitor sustainability as non-recurring settlements fade .
• Subscription traction: RaceControl KPIs (ARR ~$0.97M, net MRR growth +296%, quick ratio 4.66) indicate a credible SaaS layer that can smooth cash flows and deepen engagement .
• Content cadence: ELMS expansion by end-Q3 and ongoing feature roadmap (career mode, livery marketplace) should support retention and monetization into H2 and 2026 .
• Platform optionality: Console port and potential publisher funding could materially widen TAM and provide upfront capital; track partnership announcements as near-term stock catalysts .
• Liquidity watch: Cash improved to $2.8M by July 31, but management expects operating cash outflows; financing/strategic alternatives remain active, a key risk and potential upside lever .
• Operating leverage: Despite selling NASCAR license, Q2 operating income was positive and net income strong; continued cost discipline and LMU momentum are critical to sustaining profitability .
• Estimation gap: Lack of street coverage limits vs-consensus framing; investors should anchor on product KPIs and execution milestones given limited external estimates [GetEstimates]*.
