FreeCast, Inc. (Nasdaq: CAST) (“FreeCast” or the “Company”) today provided additional detail regarding its fiscal 2026 results announced on September 29, 2026. The Company filed its first Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2026. Gross margin expanded to 82%, revenue rose 13%, and the company closed a private placement in July 2026 with approximately $23.7 million in gross proceeds and $22.3 million in aggregate net proceeds, of which approximately $14.0 million was received after June 30, 2026.
Supplemental Fiscal 2026 Financial Highlights
- $0.71 million revenue, up 13%; fourth-quarter revenue of about $360,000(1), the strongest quarter of the year.
- 42% growth in advertising revenue, to $0.39 million.
- 82% gross margin, up from 45%.
- As previously announced, the Company closed a private placement in July 2026 with approximately $23.7 million in gross proceeds and $22.3 million in aggregate net proceeds, of which approximately $14.0 million was received after June 30, 2026.
- 19% lower operating cash burn, to $10.0 million; operating expenses down 6%.
- No going-concern paragraph in the auditor’s report, versus one in fiscal 2025.
Net loss was $13.0 million and cash used in operations was $10.0 million. While the Company has recurring losses and may need additional financing, management concluded that the July financing alleviates substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from issuance of the financial statements.
“FreeCast is building the software layer designed to help our partners participate in what their customers watch, subscribe to and purchase,” said William A. Mobley, Chief Executive Officer. “Going forward, our focus is execution — converting commercial relationships into deployments and deployments into activated users.”
Previously Announced Fiscal 2026 Commercial Developments
Fiscal 2026 announcements included a relationship with a national streaming cable channels provider; agreements with Via One affiliates Assist Wireless and enTouch Wireless; a reseller agreement for Starlink Business services; an FPUAnet agreement covering a service footprint of more than 30,000 homes; an agreement with Florida fiber provider WIRE3; and the launch of its free streaming service in more than 25 Caribbean countries and territories.
According to its Form 10-K, FreeCast had 25 distribution partners as of June 2026 with a potential reach of about 31.2 million users, plus a 14-partner pipeline.(2)

These announced commercial relationships and initiatives are at varying stages of development and should not be interpreted as representing activated subscribers, guaranteed revenue or recognized revenue unless specifically stated in the Company’s SEC filings.
FreeCast intends to provide additional information regarding its commercial progress as deployments advance and operating metrics become available and appropriate for public disclosure.
(1) Unaudited; derived as fiscal-year amounts less nine-month amounts reported in the March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
(2) Potential customer reach is distinct from registered or active FreeCast users and does not represent a committed subscriber count or contracted revenue. Partner audiences may overlap, and the potential customer populations should not be added together without accounting for that overlap. Pipeline opportunities remain subject to agreement and implementation.
