New York, NY, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mixed Martial Arts Group Limited (NYSE American: MMA) (“MMA” or the “Company”), doing business as MMA.INC, today announced more than US$800,000 in additional annualized cash operating cost reductions, increasing total annualized cash operating cost reductions to over US$2.51 million.

The new reductions were implemented between July 1 and September 28, 2026 and represent a 47.2% increase from approximately US$1.71 million of annualized cash operating cost reductions reported as of June 30, 2026.

The additional savings comprise approximately:

• US$445,000 in staff costs;
• US$181,000 in associated taxes and benefits;
• US$116,000 in premises costs; and
• US$64,000 in technology subscriptions and cloud storage.

Each announced reduction arises from a completed action and represents recurring cash expenditure that management believes is no longer required by the business.

Technology and AI Support Operating Leverage

MMA.INC’s technology delivery program and expanded use of AI supported workflows are enabling the Company to simplify processes, automate manual activity, consolidate infrastructure and support a leaner operating structure.

These actions delivered over US$625,000 in additional workforce related annualized cash cost reductions and over US$180,000 in technology and operating infrastructure annualized cash cost reductions during the period.

The Company believes its technology investment is strengthening MMA.INC’s product platform while reducing the recurring cash cost required to operate the business.

Nick Langton, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of MMA.INC, said:

“Since June 30, we have increased MMA.INC’s annualized cash operating cost reductions from approximately US$1.71 million to approximately US$2.51 million. That 47.2% increase reflects the pace and discipline with which we are reshaping the business.

“Technology delivery, automation and AI supported workflows are translating directly into lower recurring cash costs. We are simplifying how MMA.INC operates, removing expenditure the business no longer requires and building a more scalable operating model.

“These are completed actions, not future targets. We have now removed over US$2.51 million of annualized recurring cash expenditure from the business, strengthening operating leverage, extending runway and supporting our path toward profitability.”

MMA.INC intends to continue pursuing disciplined efficiencies while protecting its core revenue-generating capabilities and strategic priorities. Positive adjusted EBITDA is an operating objective, not a forecast, and the Company is not providing a quantitative target or fixed timetable.

Basis of Annualized Cash Operating Cost Reduction Measure

The annualized cash operating cost reduction of approximately US$2.51 million represents management’s estimate, as of September 28, 2026, of recurring annual cash expenditure eliminated through actions completed between January 1, 2025 and September 28, 2026. The figure is intended to describe annualized recurring cash cost reductions from completed actions and should not be read as a forecast of future profitability, cash flow or financial performance.

The measure was calculated by annualizing each identified cash cost at the rate applying immediately before its elimination. It includes payroll, taxes and benefits, premises, hosting, insurance, technology subscriptions, cloud storage and costs eliminated through the deprecation of selected Hype functionality.

The measure excludes share-based payments, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash expenses.
