TNL Mediagene Files FY2025 Annual Report on Form 20-F; Reports Continued Digital Studio Leadership and Significant Year-over-Year Net Loss ReductionMay 12, 2026 8:00 AM
NewsfileKey HighlightsDigital Studio Remains Largest Revenue Source: The digital studio segment generated $18.7 million, or 41.4% of FY2025 total revenue, continuing to anchor the Company's strategic focus on digital studio services and supporting a growing pipeline of long-term client engagements in Japan and government and NPO project contracts in TaiwanCost Discipline and Efficiency Initiatives: Despite incurring a full year of public company compliance costs in FY2025 (the Company became Nasdaq-listed in December 2024), the Company implemented a comprehensive cost reduction program in the second half of FY2025 - including headcount reductions, Taiwan office consolidation, and IT infrastructure optimization - the benefits of which are expected to flow more meaningfully into FY2026Year-over-Year Reduction in Net Loss: Net loss decreased by $40.4 million year-over-year to $44.6 million in FY2025, primarily reflecting the absence of one-time expenses associated with the Company's December 2024 Nasdaq listing and lower finance costsTokyo, Japan--(Newsfile Corp. - May 12, 2026) - TNL Mediagene (NASDAQ: TNMG) (the "Company"), a technology and digital media company providing AI-driven advertising, marketing technology, content commerce and data analytics solutions, and operating multi-language digital media brands across Asia, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and the filing of its Annual Report on Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 30, 2026.The FY2025 results reflect the Company's operations during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, prior to the leadership realignment and 2026 strategic initiatives announced on April 2, 2026. As previously disclosed, the Company appointed new leadership and adopted FY2026 initiatives intended to strengthen operational execution and accelerate its strategic focus on digital studio services, content commerce, and AI-powered products. Additional information is available in the Company's April 2, 2026 press release, and the related Form 6-K filed with the SEC.FY2025 Business and Operational HighlightsDigital Studio - Primary Strategic Focus and Largest Revenue Business Unit: The digital studio business unit, which the Company has positioned as its primary strategic focus, generated $18.7 million in FY2025, representing 41.4% of total revenue and the Company's largest reporting segment. Performance in this segment is supported by long-term client engagements in Japan and government and NPO project contracts in Taiwan, which contribute to a degree of revenue visibility relative to other segments. The Company also served as the lead partner for "TechGALA Japan 2026," a global tech conference held in Nagoya in January 2026 that featured over 150 participating companies in its exhibition, further reinforcing the Company's positioning in the digital studio market. See Item 5 of the Company's FY2025 Form 20-F for further discussion.AI Integration Across Operations: The Company continues to integrate AI technologies into its operations, including AI-assisted content production in its digital media business and AI-enabled product development in its digital studio business that commenced in the fourth quarter of FY2025. These initiatives are intended to support content production efficiency and to expand the Company's product offerings to clients. See Item 5 of the Company's FY2025 Form 20-F for further discussion.AI-Assisted Product Development in Digital Studio Commenced in Q4 2025: During the fourth quarter of FY2025, the Company commenced development of AI-assisted products and services within its digital studio business, with AI tools now broadly deployed across many of its digital studio client engagements. These offerings are at an early stage of development. The Company believes the integration of AI capabilities with its digital studio creative and strategic services may, over time, support deeper client relationships and the development of new revenue streams; however, there can be no assurance that such offerings will be developed or commercialized successfully or in a timely manner. See Item 5 of the Company's FY2025 Form 20-F for further discussion.Cost Efficiency Initiatives Implemented: During the second half of FY2025, the Company implemented a comprehensive cost efficiency program, including headcount reductions, office space consolidation in Taiwan, and IT infrastructure optimization. The Company expects the full benefits of these initiatives to contribute more meaningfully to the Company's cost structure in FY2026. See Item 5 of the Company's FY2025 Form 20-F for further discussion.Total revenue for FY2025 was $45.0 million, compared to the preliminary revenue outlook of $49.1 million that the Company announced in December 2025. The variance primarily reflected (i) softer-than-anticipated revenue performance in certain operations within the Company's digital studio business, including delays in project executions and project cancellations; (ii) softer-than-anticipated revenue performance in the Company's digital media business; and (iii) consolidation adjustments to revenue. The Company's preliminary revenue outlook published in December 2025 was a forward-looking statement subject to the cautionary disclosures previously published with that outlook, and is subject to the same risks, uncertainties, and limitations discussed below under "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."2026 Strategic Initiatives and Recent Leadership ChangesAs previously announced on April 2, 2026, the Company completed a leadership realignment and adopted a set of strategic initiatives for FY2026 designed to strengthen operational execution, accelerate the strategic pivot toward digital studio services, content commerce, and AI-powered products, and enhance long-term shareholder value. These initiatives include a comprehensive review of the Company's business portfolio, continued cost discipline measures, and the development and commercialization of AI-powered products through a dedicated research and development team. For additional information regarding the leadership realignment and FY2026 strategic initiatives, please refer to the Company's press release dated April 2, 2026, and the related Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K filed with the SEC.Financial Highlights and LiquidityYear-over-Year Reduction in Net Loss: Net loss decreased by $40.4 million year-over-year to $44.6 million in FY2025 from $85.0 million in FY2024. The reduction was primarily attributable to (i) the absence in FY2025 of one-time expenses associated with the Company's December 2024 Nasdaq listing, including a $38.2 million non-cash listing expense and approximately $4.1 million of professional service fees, and (ii) lower finance costs of $0.9 million in FY2025 compared to $8.2 million in FY2024. See Item 5 of the Company's FY2025 Form 20-F for further discussion.Non-Cash Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets: Operating loss for FY2025 included an impairment charge of $39.2 million relating to the write-off of goodwill and intangible assets associated with the Company's Japan-based Mediagene business. The impairment was a non-cash charge and did not impact the Company's cash position. As described in Note 11 to the Company's FY2025 consolidated financial statements, the initial business plan used for the enterprise value evaluation in connection with the May 2023 merger of the Company and Mediagene Inc. was based on a growth rate reflecting the anticipated expansion strategy and synergies of the merger; however, following the merger and during subsequent operations, the anticipated synergies have continued to fall short of initial expectations due to further changes in the overall environment, necessitating additional adjustments to the financial projections. As a result of the downward revision in projected future revenues, the fair value declined and an additional impairment loss was recognized in the current period.Liquidity Position and Going Concern Disclosure: The Company's cash and cash equivalents were $1.9 million as of December 31, 2025. The FY2025 audited consolidated financial statements include a going concern emphasis-of-matter, and the Company will require additional financing to fund its operations beyond FY2026. During FY2025, the Company secured additional funding through draws on its equity line of credit and the issuance of equity and convertible debt, and the Company is exploring additional financing alternatives. See Item 5 of the Company's FY2025 Form 20-F for a detailed discussion of the Company's liquidity, going concern considerations, and management's plans.Access to the FY2025 Annual Report:The Company's FY2025 Annual Report on Form 20-F is accessible on the SEC's EDGAR system at www.sec.gov and on the Company's investor relations website at www.tnlmediagene.com/ir. Shareholders may also request a hard copy of the FY2025 Annual Report, including the audited consolidated financial statements, free of charge, by contacting the Company at IR@tnlmediagene.com.Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:As disclosed in Item 15 of the FY2025 Annual Report on Form 20-F, management has concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025, due to three previously identified material weaknesses that have not yet been fully remediated. The Company has implemented, and continues to implement, remediation actions, which are described in Item 15 of the FY2025 Form 20-F. Investors are encouraged to review Items 3.D ("Risk Factors") and 15 ("Controls and Procedures") of the FY2025 Form 20-F for further information.About TNL MediageneHeadquartered in Tokyo, TNL Mediagene (NASDAQ: TNMG) is a technology and digital media company providing AI-driven advertising, marketing technology, content commerce and data analytics solutions, and operating multi-language digital media brands across Asia.

The leadership realignment and 2026 strategic initiatives announced today reflect the Company's proactive response to these dynamics and its commitment to positioning ahead of the evolving landscape rather than reacting to it.Leadership RealignmentThe Board of Directors has approved the following leadership appointments, effective immediately:Motoko Imada, previously Chief Operating Officer and President, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Imada will hold full operational authority, with direct oversight of the Company's profit and loss performance, budget execution, global operations, and day-to-day management across all business units. She will also lead a comprehensive review of the Company's existing businesses and corporate structure, with a focus on improving profitability, reducing costs, and aligning the organization with its strategic priorities.Joey Chung, previously Chief Executive Officer, has been appointed President. Mr. Chung will be responsible for corporate development, strategic transactions and partnerships, capital markets initiatives, and investor relations. In his new role, Mr. Chung will also lead efforts to evaluate strategic alternatives and potential transactions aimed at strengthening the Company's financial position and long-term competitiveness.TJ Park, General Counsel, has been promoted to Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, in addition to continuing in his role as General Counsel.

Reporting directly to the CEO, Mr. Lee will lead a dedicated team focused exclusively on AI and strategic technology product development, separate from the Company's existing operational business units. The Company has already developed and deployed AI-powered agentic tools to support digital publishing and editorial workflows across its media operations, and is advancing the development AI and large language model-based search and result optimization product designed to complement the Company's digital studio service offerings. The Company believes its AI product capabilities represent a significant growth opportunity and intends to invest in scaling these initiatives as a core pillar of its business going forward.Hiroto Kobayashi, an original co-founder of the Company in Japan, has been appointed to the Board of Directors to fill an existing vacancy. Mr. Kobayashi brings deep institutional knowledge and long-term strategic perspective to the Board at a critical stage in the Company's evolution.2026 Strategic InitiativesAlongside the leadership realignment, the Company outlined a Board-approved operating governance framework and strategic initiatives for fiscal year 2026. As the media, advertising, and e-commerce industries undergo rapid transformation driven by artificial intelligence, the Company's initiatives are designed to address these challenges head-on and are centered on the following priorities:Operational and Financial Performance. The Company aims to deliver organic revenue growth, achieve positive EBITDA, and reduce selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue. Management intends to implement rigorous cost structure reviews, prioritize high-margin projects, and drive efficiency through shared services and process automation across its Japan and Taiwan operations.Strategic Pivot Toward Digital Studio, Content Commerce, and AI-Powered Products. The Company plans to accelerate its pivot from a primarily digital media-driven business model toward higher-value digital studio services—including branding and marketing strategy solutions—and content commerce, supported by its growing portfolio of AI-powered products. The Company's technology initiatives include the continued development and commercialization of AI agentic tools and large language model-based products that the Company believes can be integrated into and cross-sold alongside its digital studio offerings. The Company expects to launch or advance at least one core new revenue business during fiscal year 2026.Portfolio Review and Optimization. As part of the comprehensive business review led by the CEO, the Company intends to evaluate its portfolio of digital media brands with a view to focusing resources on its highest-performing and most strategically relevant assets. This review may result in the divestiture, downsizing, or closure of digital media brands that are underperforming or whose long-term prospects are not aligned with the Company's strategic direction. There can be no assurance that this review will result in any specific transaction or change, and the Company will make further announcements as and when appropriate.Governance and Capital Markets. The Company intends to continue strengthening its internal controls, disclosure processes, and board-level reporting as it matures as a publicly traded enterprise. The operating governance framework approved by the Board formalizes a clear accountability structure and decision matrix across key areas including financial performance, strategic transactions, governance, and investor relations.Executive Quotes"The Board's focus is on operational discipline, strategic transformation, and strong governance," said Marcus Brauchli, Chairman of the Board. "To compete successfully in the AI era, companies need to move swiftly to adopt new technologies, serve existing customers competitively, and pivot decisively toward higher-value business lines.""Our priority is operational excellence—improving efficiency, strengthening margins, and delivering against our commitments," said Motoko Imada, Chief Executive Officer. "At the same time, we recognize that the rapid adoption of AI is reshaping our industry, and we must ensure the Company is positioned to lead, not follow. This structure gives day-to-day execution singular focus and accountability, and I will be taking a hard look at our portfolio to ensure every part of the business is contributing to our long-term growth.""We built this company both organically and through acquisitions, and we must continually improve our mix of assets and capabilities," said Joey Chung, President. "This structure allows me to focus on strategic growth, disciplined capital allocation, and consistent, transparent engagement with the investment community, while ensuring that the Company has the flexibility to pursue the right opportunities in a rapidly changing market."Further details regarding the Company's 2026 strategic initiatives and any developments from its business and portfolio review will be announced in due course.About TNL MediageneHeadquartered in Tokyo, TNL Mediagene (NASDAQ: TNMG) is a technology company providing AI-powered advertising, marketing technology, content commerce, and data analytics solutions to brands and agencies across Asia.

Nov 13, 2025
• The Company has launched a strategic partnership with U.S. technology company Coupang, Inc. to jointly expand its Content Commerce and Retail Media Network ecosystem
• The partnership will leverage the Company's multi-brand portfolio of premium media content and advertising inventory across its expansive and diverse media network, including The News Lens, Business Insider Taiwan, INSIDE, Roomie, iCook and Cool3C, to drive both broad product exposure and in-depth product communication
• The partnership is expected to expand the breadth and depth of the Company's first-party consumer data, providing more comprehensive insights that support the delivery of higher-quality services and further enhance the precision and effectiveness of its advertising solutions
TAIPEI, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TNL Mediagene (Nasdaq: TNMG) (the "Company"), a Tokyo-based next-generation digital media and data group in Asia, today announced it has launched a strategic partnership with U.S. technology company Coupang, Inc. specifically for the Taiwan market ("Coupang") to jointly expand its Content Commerce and Retail Media Network ecosystem.
Content Commerce is a dynamic marketing strategy that fuses traditional e-commerce with high-quality and captivating digital content to create a more engaging and informative shopping experience for consumers, ultimately resulting in higher conversion rates and repeat purchase rates compared to traditional marketing methods. Retail Media Networks are advertising platforms provided by retailers that enable advertisers to access and leverage first-party data and inventory for engaging with relevant audiences at the point of purchase and are one of the fastest growing ad-supported digital media channels. Under this framework first-party shopper data enables the creation of highly targeted ads which helps brands connect with consumers who have high purchase intent.
This partnership combines the core concepts of content marketing and affiliate marketing, leveraging the Company's premium media content and advertising inventory across its expansive and diverse media network, including The News Lens, Business Insider Taiwan, INSIDE, Roomie, iCook, Cool3C and Sports Vision, to drive both broad product exposure and in-depth product communication. The Company's media drives high-quality content marketing through varied content formats, interactive elements and call-to-action mechanisms and the collaboration aims to generate effective sales conversions through a seamless, one-stop process from advertising to purchase.
Through this strategic alliance, the collaboration between the two parties will extend beyond the Company's premium media platforms to also integrate the Company's advertising technology subsidiary Ad2iction's Ad2 ad network services and AI-driven advertising solutions. By connecting advertising inventory with media assets, the partnership aims to establish an efficient traffic-driving mechanism that further enhances product visibility and sales performance. In the future, this initiative will also expand the breadth and depth of the Company's consumer data, providing more comprehensive multi-dimensional insights. These insights will support the delivery of higher-quality services and further enhance the precision and effectiveness of the Company's advertising solutions.
"We couldn't be more pleased to partner with a company of Coupang's global reach and stature and are excited to combine our strengths in media content and e-commerce technology to further elevate our Content Commerce and Retail Media Network strategy. Similar to some of our other partnerships we've announced this year, this collaboration is expected to enhance our advertising reach and provide us with a wealth of valuable first-party data that we can then run through our leading AdTech and data products to reach target audiences more effectively. We thank Coupang for their partnership and we look forward to elevating our capabilities together" Co-Founder & CEO Joey Chung commented.
The Company remains committed to leveraging its trusted media influence, professional content strategy and data-driven analytical capabilities to reach audiences effectively and with precision, further enhancing both campaign effectiveness and conversion rates.

We are very focused on aligning the company's capital structure with our strategic goals and choosing a funding strategy that allows our public shares to flourish.

We believe this clarity is a positive sign for our current and potential new investors as we execute our growth plans," Co-Founder & CEO Joey Chung commented.
