NEW YORK, Nov. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Creatd, Inc. (OTCQB:CRTD) announced strong financial results for the third quarter of 2025, including significant revenue growth, lower operating expenses, and improved profitability on a per-share basis. The Company also confirmed that it expects to file an S-1 registration statement this week as it advances its uplisting strategy. The company has engaged Dawson James Securities, Inc. and Lucosky Brookman, LLP to advise and navigate its uplist process.
Revenues since the acquisition have increased to $2.3 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2025 compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2024, a 93% improvement. The Company believes its current pace of aircraft fleet expansion positions it to generate up to $15 million in revenue next year, and deliver positive net income and earnings per share for the first time in its history. Positive earnings per share is rare for a company of Creatd's size, reflecting the high caliber of discipline in its operations and financials.
Basic and diluted loss per share improved 75% to $(0.13) and $(2.10) in three and nine months, respectively, ending September 30, 2025, compared to $(0.50) and $(8.53) over the same periods last year. Excluding stock-based compensation, the Company had a record per-share gain of $0.45 compared to a $(4.11) loss in 2024.
Creatd's balance sheet strengthened considerably during the year. Total assets exceeded $18 million at the end of Q3, compared to approximately $2 million at year-end 2024. Total liabilities declined from $12.5 million to $9.2 million during the first nine months of 2025. As of September 30, positive shareholder equity was just over $9 million, and has since risen to more than $10 million with further reductions in liabilities as of today. The Company expects this trend to continue.
A key driver of this progress has been the acquisition and integration of Flyte, the Company's air mobility and aviation technology business. Creatd manages its portfolio of investments focused on data and technology, whose operations provide insight that support the Company's broader objective to build the best publicly-traded aviation pure-play. The integration has generated greater efficiencies across technology, marketing, accounting, and compliance. This gives Flyte the foundation it needs to scale and generate increased revenues and profits. The Company expects to soon change its ticker to reflect its transformation into an aviation company.
CEO Jeremy Frommer stated:
"We delivered an epic quarter and moved from negative to nearly breakeven on an operational basis while clearing our debt and establishing a direct path back to a national exchange. Our earnings per share are now approaching positive territory, a result that reflects disciplined execution across every level of the company. I want to acknowledge the team that drove this progress and the shareholders who remained committed throughout our turnaround.
This filing marks my thirtieth quarterly report during my leadership at Creatd, and the upcoming 10-K will be my tenth PCAOB-audited annual report. Over the past decade we advanced from the Pink Sheets to the OTCQB in 2016, then to Nasdaq in 2020. With the demands Covid made on our business model, we were ultimately unable to maintain the exchange-required net equity levels, and in 2022 we returned to the OTCQB. In 2023, as we were fighting our way back, we were subject to the consequences of being engaged to a negligent and failing audit firm. My decision to terminate them, and step back down to the Pink Sheets in July 2024 was one of the most difficult ones I have ever had to make. Yet it was necessary to protect the company during a period of reparation and recovery. It was a personal and professional low point, but it became the foundation for the most focused rebuilding effort of my career, and has led to today's high point.
We meticulously completed two full years of PCAOB audits, rebuilt our balance sheet from the bottom up, restructured our operations, and reoriented the business around improving earnings per share. In September 2025 we successfully reapplied to OTCQB, and have since engaged Dawson James Securities, Inc. and Lucosky Brookman to guide our return to a national exchange where we rightfully belong.
Our strategy is clear: consolidate our strengths, focus on execution, align with partners who advance our mission, and eliminate the relationships and structures that do not. As we move toward our exchange application, we plan to avoid the traditional underwriting structures and associated toxic financing that have damaged countless small companies on their way to an uplist. We advance with a strong balance sheet, a disciplined shareholder base, and thanks to a targeted financing from long term shareholders, we have enough cash to provide us with a runway to our uplisting and well beyond.
I have been a Chairman and CEO in the small cap space for over a decade, and worked in the capital markets at large for over thirty years. At this stage in my career, my goal is to create real value for our shareholders, management team, and my family. The team that stands behind this company is the strongest I have ever worked with, and achieving this progress alongside them has been one of the highlights of my career. I am energized by the path ahead, and our shareholders should be as well."
