Significant Valuation Discount to Peers

At the closing price of $0.16 on August 11, 2026, the Company trades at a price-to-book ratio of approximately 0.26x, meaning the Company's market capitalization is approximately 26% of its shareholders' equity. By comparison, the S&P 500 trades at a price-to-book ratio of 5.87x[1] and the U.S. education sector trades at an average of 2.60x[2].

Roger James Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group, said "Our peers in the education industry are currently enjoying a price-to-book ratio which is 10 times greater than Genius Group, despite having an average annual growth rate of 7.7% in revenue. This compares to Genius Group’s revenue growth of 156% in the first half of 2026."

"We have spent the past year restructuring our balance sheet, eliminating all third-party debt, cancelling shares, closing loss-making divisions, and turning the Company operationally profitable. The result a strong balance sheet with $106.6 million in net assets and no third-party debt."

"We believe the current share price does not reflect this progress, and we are committed to continuing to take decisive action to close the valuation gap through the growth of our operating divisions, Genius City projects and our AI education tools, which we expect to be a significant revenue catalyst."
