NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enhanced Group Inc. (NYSE: ENHA) (“Enhanced” or the “Company”), a sports, live entertainment and performance products company, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2026. The results reported today reflect the stand-alone business of Enhanced Group - Enhanced Games and Live Enhanced. On November 5, 2026, the Company announced definitive agreements to acquire an approximately 77% controlling interest in DEAG Deutsche Entertainment AG (“DEAG”), a leading Pan-European Live Entertainment & Ticketing Group. Following the closing, (expected for the first quarter of 2027), Enhanced will fully consolidate DEAG. The consolidation is expected to completely change the financial profile of Enhanced Group, with approximately $670 million revenue and $26 million EBITDA expected for the full year 2027 for the combined group.


Business & Operational Highlights
Maximilian Martin, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Enhanced, commented, “The third quarter was a deliberate breather between the inaugural Enhanced Games and the next growth acceleration. We used Q3 to refine our telehealth offering, bring Enhanced OS to beta, and entered into agreements to acquire a controlling interest in DEAG. With the acquisition of a majority stake in DEAG we are entering hyper-growth mode — not only by continuing to build the Enhanced Games franchise and the Live Enhanced telehealth business. Our goal going forward is to build, acquire, and invest in high-potential businesses globally spanning sports and live entertainment, as well as scalable commercialization platforms such as ticketing, direct-to-consumer brands, and beyond. We believe we are benefiting from powerful macro tailwinds: AI and robotics will increasingly reduce the need for human labor, giving humanity significantly more free time. We believe much of this additional leisure time will be spent on real-life, shared experiences — creating substantial opportunities in sports, entertainment, and live experiences. And we believe we are fully financed for growth.”
Sid Banthiya, Chief Financial Officer of Enhanced, stated, “Our third quarter demonstrates the operating discipline we committed to following the inaugural Enhanced Games. We have deliberately held back on aggressively scaling our telehealth platform so far, as we wanted to get the product mix right, optimize the unit economics and build something that offers more than just an online pharmacy. We have made significant progress, with important KPIs like average order values continuing to stay ahead of others in the telehealth space, and tripled marketing efficiencies.
With Enhanced OS — its beta going live today — we have developed an AI-powered platform designed to integrate medical records, offer biomarker testing, and wearable data integration into personalized health plans, with licensed physicians retaining full clinical decision-making authority.
All of that taken together, we believe we are now ready to shift into growth mode with our telehealth business towards the end of the year. Consequently, we expect telehealth revenues in 2027 to reach well into the double-digit millions.”
Important clarification regarding our share count and market capitalization:
Only our Class A shares represent economic ownership in the company. Class B shares carry voting rights only and do not represent any economic ownership. Some data providers still incorrectly conflate the two share classes, resulting in an overstated market capitalization on some platforms.
We have approximately 13.7 million Class A shares outstanding. Based on yesterday’s closing share price of $8.05, our current market capitalization is roughly $110 million.

Third Quarter 2026 Consolidated Results
General: For the foreseeable future, the sports franchise business will generate disproportionately high revenues in the quarter during which the annual Enhanced Games are held. As a result, quarter-on-quarter comparisons may be less meaningful.
Once the DEAG acquisition closes, expected in Q1 2027, we will move to full segment reporting to give investors a clear view of all three platforms - sports, telehealth and live entertainment — and make quarter-to-quarter performance easier to track.
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, unless otherwise specified:
Revenue was $3.3 million, compared with $17.7 million in the second quarter and no revenue in the prior-year period. Second quarter revenue was driven primarily by the inaugural Enhanced Games held in May. Third quarter revenue reflects the acceleration of Live Enhanced telehealth sales during the quarter and continued recognition under the Company’s sponsorship agreements.
Games, athletes and event operating costs were $2.7 million, compared with $52.0 million in the second quarter and $1.3 million in the prior-year period. Third quarter costs consisted primarily of contracted athlete compensation. Second quarter costs included launch related expenses for the inaugural Enhanced Games, including a purpose-built venue, broadcast capability and a first-of-its-kind clinical program.
For the 2027 Enhanced Games, the Company targets a budget of approximately $20 million, aiming to deliver an equal or better live and digital experience at lower cost. Combined with a broader revenue base of sponsorship, media rights, ticketing and host-city support, the Company expects the sports business, including the Games and Breakers, to break even or better in 2027.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $12.7 million, compared with $16.6 million in the second quarter and $4.2 million in the prior-year period. Third quarter Selling, general and administrative expenses included $3.1 million of non-cash Rumble marketing expense and $1.5 million of stock-based compensation.
Loss from operations was $13.5 million, compared with $61.9 million in the second quarter of 2026, driven primarily by the absence of costs associated with staging the inaugural Enhanced Games. The increase from $5.9 million in the prior-year period primarily reflects non-cash Rumble marketing expense, DEAG transaction costs and public-company operating costs, partially offset by $3.3 million of revenue versus none a year ago.
Net loss in the third quarter was $13.5 million. That compares with $61.9 million in the second quarter and $5.9 million in the prior-year period.
Adjusted EBITDA(1)(2) was a loss of $8.8 million, compared to a loss of $42.7 million in the second quarter and a loss of $3.8 million in the prior-year period. This Adjusted figure does not include an add-back of the $3.1 million non-cash Rumble marketing expense.
Cash and cash equivalents were $12.1 million as of September 30, 2026, compared to $19.6 million as of June 30, 2026 and compared to $25.3 million as of December 31, 2025. This number does not include the $15 million PIPE which is expected to close in parallel with the closing of the DEAG acquisition, and it also does not include $20 million in sponsorship due at the end of the year, which are expected to increase the cash balance. The sponsorships include $10 million of cash payment under the title sponsorship arrangement with Zoop, which is due on December 31, 2026, and the expected monetization of $10 million in Rezolve stock unlocked in December 2026.
DEAG Transaction
As previously announced on November 5, 2026, Enhanced entered into definitive exchange agreements with certain shareholders of DEAG, a Berlin-headquartered Pan-European Live Entertainment and Ticketing company, to acquire a 77% controlling interest. DEAG operates in seven core European markets, stages approximately 6,000 live events a year across festivals, touring, local promotion and spoken word, and runs proprietary ticketing platforms. DEAG has completed more than 30 acquisitions since 2019. DEAG will continue to operate under its existing management team, led by incoming Chief Executive Officer Markus Breitenecker, and will continue its buy-and-build strategy, which Enhanced intends to support with additional growth capital.
Following the closing of the transaction, the combined group is expected to generate approximately $670 million in combined revenue and $26 million in Adjusted EBITDA(1)(3) in 2027, representing 21.5% revenue growth and an approximately $65.5 million improvement in Adjusted EBITDA year over year, providing Enhanced with significant operating scale and a broader platform for organic growth and further acquisitions. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
The transaction is all-stock, with no cash consideration. Enhanced expects to issue approximately 11 million shares of Class A common stock at $8.00 per share, an approximately 13% premium to the November 4, 2026 closing price of $7.11, at an exchange ratio of approximately one Enhanced share for 1.7 DEAG shares. The agreed value is EUR 4.00 per DEAG share, which values 100% of DEAG’s equity at approximately $115 million and implies an enterprise value of approximately $139 million(2). That equals 5.3x DEAG’s FY2027E Adjusted EBITDA(1)(3) of approximately $26.5 million, compared with a median of 14.1x for listed live entertainment peers. FY2027E figures are Enhanced management estimates. The newly issued shares are subject to a lock-up of up to 12 months with staggered releases.
For more information on the transaction please refer to the materials uploaded on Enhanced’s Investor Relations Website as well as filed with the SEC.
PIPE Financing
In connection with the DEAG acquisition, Enhanced entered into a securities purchase agreement with institutional and accredited investors for a private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) financing of $15 million with selected long-term investors.
The PIPE is intended to provide additional capital to support Enhanced's growth strategy, including the further acceleration of its existing sporting business, telehealth and performance products businesses, as well as supporting DEAG’s buy-and-build strategy and general corporate purposes. It is expected to close concurrently with the DEAG acquisition, subject to customary closing conditions.
Notes
(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA can be found in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this release. A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 can be found in the Supplemental Information in this release.
(2) A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 can be found in the Supplemental Information in this release.
(3) “Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA provided on a lease-adjusted basis, under which operating lease cost (right-of-use asset depreciation and lease interest) recognized by DEAG under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) 16 is deducted from EBITDA to approximate a U.S. GAAP (ASC 842) operating-lease presentation. For DEAG, €8.5 million of operating lease cost is deducted from DEAG's FY2027E IFRS EBITDA of €31.6 million, resulting in Adjusted EBITDA of €23.1 million. Enterprise value is presented on a lease-adjusted basis, which excludes operating lease liabilities of €23.8 million from IFRS enterprise value of €145.4 million, and valuation multiples based on Adjusted EBITDA are calculated on the same basis. On an IFRS basis, DEAG's enterprise value to FY2027E EBITDA multiple is 4.6x. Peer multiples are based on FactSet consensus estimates as of October 19, 2026, with CTS Eventim presented on the same lease-adjusted basis. DEAG's reported EBITDA includes non-operating income, such as put-option and earn-out revaluations. These non-GAAP measures are presented as supplemental performance measures and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, and should be read together with, the most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP, which for Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss). DEAG reports under IFRS and in euros; DEAG's measures are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to Enhanced's measures or to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The estimates of DEAG's measures, and the combined figures to the extent they include DEAG, are forward-looking measures prepared by Enhanced for illustrative purposes based on publicly available information and Enhanced's own assumptions, and are presented on the basis of IFRS. DEAG has not participated in their preparation, and they are not guidance, forecasts or projections provided, approved, adopted or endorsed by DEAG or its management. Because Enhanced does not have access to DEAG's internal forecasts and cannot reliably forecast certain DEAG items necessary for a reconciliation, including interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-operating items such as put-option and earn-out revaluations, Enhanced is unable to reconcile projected 2027 Adjusted EBITDA to projected 2027 net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, or to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on future events and could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the comparable GAAP or IFRS measure. The combined 2027 figures are presented on a combined and illustrative basis to give effect to the proposed DEAG acquisition, including the consolidation of 100% of DEAG's results, are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to change, and have not been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X or audited, reviewed, examined or compiled by independent accountants. DEAG's financial information is prepared under IFRS and has not been converted to U.S. GAAP, and such conversion could result in materially different amounts. The combined figures do not reflect any synergies, the financing of the transaction or the final size of the stake acquired, do not purport to represent what Enhanced's actual results would be, and should not be relied upon as a representation that any projected result will be achieved.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company refers to certain financial measures that are not recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This press release includes financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted EBITDA. Please see the definition below and the reconciliation table included in this release for additional information and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, transaction costs, certain legal costs, restructuring and severance charges, and certain other items when applicable.
Enhanced management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it eliminates the significant level of non-cash and non-recurring items, including stock-based compensation and the one-time transaction cost associated with the Business Combination that affect period-over-period comparability.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
The Company defines Live Enhanced gross revenue as the total amount billed to customers for Live Enhanced products, before deducting the amounts retained by the third-party telehealth providers that deliver the prescription services.
The Company defines performance marketing spend as cash spend on digital advertising platforms to acquire Live Enhanced customers. It excludes non-cash advertising credits received as sponsorship consideration and agency, creative and consulting costs.
These Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net loss as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of its business, or as a measure of cash that will be available to meet its obligations. This non-GAAP financial measure, as determined and presented by the Company, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
