GCL Global (NASDAQ:GCL) issued its quarterly earnings results on Friday. The company reported ($0.08) EPS for the quarter, FiscalAI reports. The firm had revenue of $70.10 million during the quarter.

Here are the key takeaways from GCL Global’s conference call:

• Revenue reached a record $238.9 million, up 68.2% year over year, driven by the full-year contribution from Ban Leong Technologies and continued activity in gaming distribution and publishing.
• Profitability deteriorated sharply, with a $36.2 million net loss and $18.9 million EBITDA loss versus profits in the prior year; gross margin also fell to 10.3% from 15% because of a larger mix of lower-margin distribution revenue and publishing investments.
• Borrowings rose to $54 million from $11.9 million, while inventory increased to $32.4 million, contributing to higher interest expense and greater balance-sheet risk despite management’s view that the debt supports strategic growth.
• Management is targeting fiscal 2027 improvements through Ban Leong integration, cost efficiencies, stronger cash conversion, and a greater contribution from higher-margin publishing; ADATA’s investments in 4Divinity were presented as external validation of the publishing strategy.
• GCL expanded its global publishing pipeline with worldwide rights to several upcoming titles, including A Whisper of Fall and Guns of Eschaton, but provided no fiscal 2027 guidance and cautioned that release timing and market conditions could cause financial contributions to vary.
