GameSquare restructures, divests FaZe Media stake

FRISCO, TX - GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GAME), currently trading near its 52-week low at $0.62 compared to its high of $2.25, has announced strategic shifts, including the divestiture of its 25.5% stake in FaZe Media to Gigamoon Media and FaZe’s founders, effective April 1, 2025. This move aligns with GameSquare’s goals to streamline operations and drive toward profitability. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s current market capitalization stands at $20.23 million.

The company, which continues to wholly own the profitable FaZe Esports, is also expanding its gaming and esports experiences business in the U.S. To support this growth, GameSquare has secured a $2 million credit facility from the Jones Family, with a 10% annual interest rate and no prepayment penalties. This financing comes at a crucial time, as InvestingPro analysis shows the company operating with a current ratio of 0.72, indicating potential liquidity challenges.

GameSquare’s experiences division focuses on creating immersive events and digital activations, partnering with brands and gaming communities across the U.S. The company is also launching a collegiate esports initiative to foster community engagement and build a pipeline for future talent.

The divestiture of FaZe Media, valued at $39.2 million, is seen as a win-win, allowing the founders to regain creative control while GameSquare retains the successful FaZe Esports. CEO Justin Kenna stated, "I am proud of what we have accomplished by rebooting the brand, reducing operating costs, and positioning FaZe Media for success as a standalone, creator-led business."

GameSquare will provide additional details on the FaZe Media divestiture during its Q4 2024 earnings call scheduled for April 16, 2025. The company’s full-year financial results will be released after the close of business on April 15, 2025, with a webcasted earnings call to follow.

This news comes as GameSquare aims to optimize its business model and reach profitability in the upcoming quarters. The company’s mission remains focused on connecting brands with younger audiences through gaming and creator entertainment. While the company faces current challenges with a gross profit margin of 19.92%, analysts maintain optimistic price targets ranging from $3 to $4.
