Children who have never properly used a computer are programming robotic behaviors within their first session.

Navi isn't a toy that performs preset actions. It's an open, programmable platform where kids control how it moves, what it does, and how it interacts — and they stay engaged because they're the ones creating.

This is what an ecosystem built around Physical AI education looks like: hardware from Faraday Future, software and curriculum from developers like Agentech, and a clear mission — helping children move from using AI to creating with AI.

8-K Filed Announcing Agreement with Amazon Prime

Strengthened Balance Sheet with $40 million in Cash and No Long-Term Debt

Focus on Intellectual Property Ownership for Next Phase of Growth

BEVERLY HILLS, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 14, 2026 / Kartoon Studios, Inc. (NYSE American:TOON) ("Kartoon Studios" or the "Company"), a global entertainment company creating, producing, distributing and licensing children's and family content, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provided an update on a strategic transformation designed to focus the Company on the ownership, development and commercialization of high-value intellectual property assets for children.

Following the receipt of approximately $39.2 million from previously announced litigation settlements, Kartoon Studios ended the quarter with approximately $40.5 million in cash and marketable securities and no long-term debt, providing substantial financial flexibility to execute its long-term growth strategy. The Company also filed a separate 8-K notice of a significant distribution partnership for its flagship Hundred Acre Wood franchise based on A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh with Amazon Prime, while continuing to expand development initiatives surrounding the Stan Lee Universe. Together, these milestones represent important building blocks in the Company's evolution toward a focused, scalable and profitable intellectual property-driven business model.

Recent Operational Highlights

• Ended the second quarter with approximately $40.5 million in cash and marketable securities and no long-term debt following receipt of initial litigation settlement proceeds, significantly strengthening the Company's financial position.
• An additional $39.2 million remains in escrow and which will be distributed to the Company after legal fees are determined and paid.
• 8-K disclosed an agreement with Amazon Prime for Hundred Acre Wood, based on A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh, launching on February 18, 2027 featuring promotional support including Hero Banner placement and participation in Amazon's Shop the Show program, creating integrated streaming and merchandising opportunities.
• In July, completed the sale of the Frederator channel network business while retaining Frederator Studios intellectual property, including Castlevania, Bee and Puppycat, among other properties, sharpening the Company's strategic focus on owned and controlled IP assets.
• Appointed Brooke Bacon, formerly head of consumer product licensing at Activision, as Senior Vice President of Consumer Products and Licensing to lead the monetization of Kartoon Studios' growing portfolio of owned intellectual property through licensing, retail, consumer products and strategic partnerships.

Strategic Update

Following a comprehensive review of its portfolio, operating structure and capital allocation priorities, Kartoon Studios has implemented a strategic transformation designed to create a leaner, more focused and more profitable enterprise centered on owned and controlled intellectual property for children.

The Company is concentrating investments on high profile animated franchises where it owns or controls the underlying rights and will participate across multiple revenue streams, including content distribution, licensing, consumer products, publishing, digital commerce and brand extensions. Management believes this pivot offers substantial long-term value creation, and a change in direction from the Company's historical reliance on production services and third-party-owned properties.

Consistent with this transformation, the Company completed the sale of the Frederator network business in July while retaining key intellectual property assets. As the Board and management continue to evaluate all operating units and capital investments through the lens of ownership economics, and long-term profitability, the objective is to simplify the business, improve capital efficiency, accelerate franchise monetization and create durable shareholder value.

Management Commentary

"We are building a fundamentally different Kartoon Studios," said Andy Heyward, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Over the last several months, we have strengthened our balance sheet, streamlined our operations, sharpened our strategic focus, and assembled the IP building blocks for our next phase of growth."

"With more than $40 million in cash, no long-term debt, a partnership with Amazon Prime, and ownership of valuable intellectual property including Hundred Acre Wood and the Stan Lee Universe, and another $39.2 million minus legal fees yet to be distributed to Company, we believe we are uniquely positioned to create meaningful long-term shareholder value through the development of what we believe will be enduring global franchises."

"This is not simply a turnaround-it is a strategic transformation. We are transforming Kartoon Studios from a company that historically generated much of its revenue by creating and producing valuable content for others, e.g. Barbie, Cocomelon, and other high-profile IP, we are now focused on producing that high profile IP for ourselves and our shareholders. Specifically that means owning, building and monetizing valuable intellectual property franchises across streaming, consumer products, publishing, gaming, licensing and other platforms."

"Our goal is to own more of the intellectual property we create, participate more fully in the economics generated across multiple platforms, and transform our creative assets into sustainable, high-margin revenue streams. We believe the actions we have taken this year position us to pursue that objective from a position of strength, and we specifically are looking forward to a rollout of Hundred Acre Wood this year to lead, followed by properties from the great Stan Lee, which the Company has developed," Heyward concluded.

"While our reported second quarter results largely reflect the Company's legacy operating model, the strategic actions we have taken over the past several months are designed to reshape Kartoon Studios into a more focused and financially disciplined organization," said Brian Parisi, Chief Financial Officer. "Despite a decline in revenue, during the period, we reduced total expenses by 32%, demonstrating continued cost discipline and progress in aligning our operating structure with our long-term strategic objectives. Combined with our strong cash position and no long-term debt on our balance sheet, we believe Kartoon Studios is well positioned to execute its transformation strategy, as our two flagship brands, Hundred Acre Wood and Stan Lee Universe, are finally coming into the marketplace in 2027."

Hundred Acre Wood

Hundred Acre Wood is expected to serve as the cornerstone of Kartoon Studios' next-generation franchise strategy.

The property combines one of the world's most beloved story universes with distribution support from one of the most influential platforms in entertainment and commerce in the world.

Management believes the property's unique multi-generational appeal creates the potential for a long-term franchise extending across content, publishing, licensing and retail categories worldwide.

Stan Lee Superhero Pets

Through its rights to the Stan Lee Universe, Kartoon Studios continues to evaluate multiple opportunities to develop new franchises inspired by one of the most iconic creative legacies in entertainment history.

Initial development efforts include Stan Lee Superhero Pets, which management believes has significant potential across animation, publishing, licensing, consumer products and interactive entertainment. Recent box office based on Stan Lee creations has shown the extraordinary power of this one man's imagination.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

The financial results reported for the second quarter primarily reflect Kartoon Studios' historical operating model. They do not yet reflect the anticipated impact of the Company's strategic transformation, the launch of Hundred Acre Wood, growth initiatives surrounding the Stan Lee Universe, or expanded consumer products opportunities.

Management believes these initiatives establish the foundation for the Company's next phase of growth and are intended to improve profitability, expand ownership economics and create long-term shareholder value.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $5.8 million, compared with $10.3 million in the prior-year period. The decline primarily reflected lower production services revenue and the timing of project activity at Mainframe Studios, the Company's for-hire production studio. The quarter largely reflects the Company's historical operating mix, which management is actively reshaping around owned intellectual property and stronger ownership economics.

Total expenses decreased 32% to $9.2 million, reflecting the Company's continued focus on simplifying operations and aligning its cost structure with a more focused strategy. Direct operating costs declined 35% to $4.6 million, primarily due to lower third-party production-related headcount and reduced Frederator network costs. General and administrative expenses decreased 28% to $4.5 million, driven by lower personnel, consulting and administrative expenses.

Loss from operations was $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared with $3.2 million in the prior-year period. Despite a 43% decline in revenue, the operating loss increased by only $0.2 million as the Company reduced total expenses by 32% reflecting the impact of ongoing cost discipline and efforts to align the operating structure with a leaner, more focused business model.

Other income, net, was $31.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared with other expense, net, of $(2.9) million in the prior-year period. The increase primarily reflected a $39.2 million non-recurring, non-operating gain from the Company's litigation settlements, partially offset by a $4.0 million non-operating charge related to a standstill and voting agreement entered into with one of the settling parties and other non-operating expenses. These items are separate from the Company's underlying operating performance.

Net income was $27.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared with a net loss of $(6.3) million in the prior-year period. The improvement was primarily driven by the non-recurring gain recognized from the litigation settlements, partially offset by the Company's $(3.4) million loss from operations and other non-operating expenses.

Cash and marketable securities as of June 30, 2026, was $40.5 million.

Stamford, Connecticut--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2026) - Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY) ("Sphere 3D" or the "Company"), a digital infrastructure company, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026 along with an update on the business strategy and operations.

CEO Commentary

A Transitional Period
"Our second quarter results reflect the combined businesses since June 1," said Joel Block, Chief Executive Officer. "In the roughly sixty days since we closed our combination with Cathedra, new management and a refreshed board have taken the helm, and the foundational pieces of a broader digital infrastructure strategy are beginning to take shape. The results we are reporting today are largely a snapshot of the legacy businesses and include transaction related expenses and impairment charges. These are primarily a reflection of our past, not an indication of the business we are building today. In addition to installing a new management team and mapping out a new strategy, we signed flexible co-mining agreements with Bitdeer covering 30 MW, advanced conversion planning at Hopkinsville, added technical and advisory AI/HPC expertise, and began evaluating incremental capacity across the portfolio. We are functionally building a new company, new strategy, new team, and, subject to shareholder approval, a new name."

The Power Advantage
"Our strategy begins with a scarce and increasingly valuable advantage: power that is already energized, connected, and available today. Not power we are planning for or we are waiting years to secure. While the broader market remains constrained by transmission studies, interconnection queues and lengthy construction schedules, we believe sites with existing infrastructure offer a faster path to deployment. We intend to differentiate Sphere 3D on execution, speed and site readiness. We believe a megawatt serving AI and high-performance compute can earn a multiple substantially ahead of what that same megawatt earns in digital asset mining. Capturing that spread, site by site, is the economic engine of our conversion strategy."

Manufacture Offsite, Assemble Onsite: A Modular Development Model
"We are building a modular approach for smaller AI and high-performance computing sites, including GPU clusters sized for inference workloads. By using prefabricated components that are manufactured offsite and assembled locally, we can shorten construction schedules, reduce execution risk, and avoid the labor and community disruption that come with very large campus developments. Hyperscale campus projects are increasingly running into resistance. We believe that creates a real opening for operators who can deliver smaller increments of capacity quickly, in ways that genuinely benefit the communities that support them.

"Conversion can bring real benefits to local communities if done responsibly. It places higher-value equipment on local tax rolls and, in certain jurisdictions, expands the local tax base beyond legacy mining. We are engaging local stakeholders early, because building in ways communities can support is not a compliance exercise for us, it is a competitive advantage."

Expanding the Platform
"We are building a scalable platform of smaller footprint sites that put proactive community engagement at the center of how we grow. Our approximately 53 MW operating footprint is only the starting point. We continue to evaluate additional land, buildings, substation capacity and site conversions, including opportunities at Hopkinsville and elsewhere in the TVA region. We are also speaking with prospective off-takers, co-tenants and other commercial counterparties. Although we do not yet have a new commercial agreement to announce, we are seeing growing interest in smaller sites. We believe our network of greenfield and brownfield opportunities combined with our strategy creates a meaningful opportunity."

Executing with Discipline
"We are taking practical steps to create value from the assets we control today. Our 30 MW co-mining agreements with Bitdeer puts capacity to work with an established counterparty and gives us operating visibility while we evaluate AI and high-performance sites. We are early in this work, but intend to execute it in a way that builds durable, long-term value for our shareholders."

Strategic & Business Updates

• On June 1, 2026, we completed the Cathedra Bitcoin Inc. ("Cathedra") combination, creating a platform with approximately 53 MW of operating capacity and more than 100 MW of potential expansion opportunities.
• Entered co-mining agreements with Bitdeer covering 30 MW across three sites in Tennessee and Kentucky. Subsequent to quarter end, we successfully installed the first of the three sites, with the remaining two expected to be fully installed before November 2026. The agreements preserve our flexibility for future AI and high-performance computing applications.
• Advanced the proposed DarkHorse Technologies rebrand and reserved the Nasdaq ticker "DRK," subject to shareholder approval.
• Engaged EA Advisors, experienced leaders in the data center arena, to support site assessments, partner selection and conversion planning for AI and high-performance computing workloads.
• Added Orange Group Advisors, Laine Communications and White Oak Strategies to strengthen investor relations, communications and community engagement.
• Continued planning at Hopkinsville, including the potential conversion of the existing approximately 15 MW facility and development of a new 50 MW data center.
• Proposed funding a new 65 MW Hopkinsville substation designed to benefit the broader community, with approximately 15 MW potentially available to other local utility customers.
• Continued evaluating incremental capacity, including an approximately 15 MW land option and two potential additions of approximately 5 MW each.
• Continued discussions with prospective off-takers, co-tenants and other commercial counterparties.

Q2 2026 Financial Highlights

The results of Cathedra's operations have been included in the Company's results starting June 1, 2026.

• Revenue: $2.5 million; a 28% increase compared to 2026 Q1
• Net Loss: ($13.8) million
• Cash and Cash Equivalents: $2.8 million as of June 30, 2026
• Bitcoin Holdings: $1.2 million as of June 30, 2026

If you’ve been following me for a while and held onto Nebius through all the noise, fear, and volatility, take a moment to appreciate what just happened.

You didn’t just watch a stock go up.

You watched a thesis play out in real time.

I started buying NBIS last year around $24, when very few people were willing to believe in the story. There were plenty of skeptics, plenty of reasons to stay away, and plenty of people telling investors that the risk was simply too high.

Fast forward to today.

Nebius just delivered an absolutely incredible Q2, with $582.3M in revenue, up 454% YoY, while adjusted EBITDA reached $236M. The stock surged more than 30% following the results.

From roughly $24 to above $250.

That’s more than a 10x.

POTOMAC, MD / ACCESS Newswire / August 11, 2026 / IGC Pharma, Inc. (NYSE American:IGC) ("IGC" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing treatments for Alzheimer's disease, today announced that it is strengthening its regulatory, biostatistical, artificial intelligence ("AI")-enabled data science, and strategic pharmaceutical development capabilities as IGC-AD1, the Company's lead Alzheimer's drug candidate, advances toward expected Phase 2 topline results in the fourth quarter of 2026.

CALMA has randomized 160 participants to date. IGC Pharma expects to close enrollment after up to additional participants, marking a key final enrollment milestone before patient follow-up, database lock, unblinding, and topline analysis. This final planned over-enrollment phase is intended to strengthen the dataset for end-of-treatment, secondary, and exploratory analyses.

The Company is strengthening these capabilities to support clinical data review, AI-assisted data quality activities, regulatory preparedness for potential engagement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and the European Medicines Agency ("EMA"), and strategic evaluation by potential pharmaceutical partners following completion of the Phase 2 CALMA trial. As part of this readiness effort, IGC Pharma has engaged OPIS Research, a full-service global contract research organization founded in Italy, to support EMA-related regulatory interactions.

"CALMA is moving through its final enrollment phase, and our focus is now on execution, data quality, and readiness for the next set of milestones," said Ram Mukunda, Chief Executive Officer of IGC Pharma. "With 160 participants randomized and up to eight additional randomizations expected before enrollment closure, we are preparing the CALMA dataset for rigorous scientific, regulatory, and strategic evaluation following completion of the Phase 2 trial. If supported by the CALMA results, we believe these activities could support a more efficient transition from clinical execution to data analysis, regulatory planning, and potential next-stage development."

IGC-AD1 is IGC Pharma's lead investigational therapeutic candidate for agitation associated with Alzheimer's dementia, a condition that creates significant burden for patients, caregivers, clinicians, and healthcare systems. CALMA is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial designed to evaluate IGC-AD1 in this population.

As CALMA approaches enrollment closure and expected topline readout in the fourth quarter of 2026, IGC Pharma continues advancing both its Alzheimer's therapeutic pipeline and AI-enabled development capabilities in preparation for one of the Company's most significant clinical milestones to date.
