OverActive Media Group

What OverActive Media Group does

OverActive Media Group is a publicly traded (TSXV: OAM) global esports and entertainment holding company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Toronto, Canada. It owns and operates multiple esports team franchises across Europe and North America, most notably Movistar KOI (competing in League of Legends LEC, Valorant VCT, and other titles in partnership with Movistar) and Toronto KOI (competing in the Call of Duty League, rebranded from Toronto Ultra in November 2025). The portfolio was built through a series of acquisitions including Splyce (2018), Mad Lions (2019), and the 2024 acquisitions of KOI and Movistar Riders, which together were projected to add $10–12M in revenue and establish European scale.

The company operates three distinct business lines: (1) Team Operations — franchise participation, player salaries, sponsorship attached to teams, and merchandise e-commerce via dedicated Shopify storefronts for Movistar KOI and Toronto KOI; (2) Business Operations via OAM Live — a turnkey B2B service offering HD 1080p broadcast production, tournament management, studio facilities, talent procurement, and branded content, which grew 34% to $22M in 2025; and (3) ActiveVoices — an AI-powered content localization SaaS platform launched August 2025 that uses AI voice replication and translation for multilingual dubbing, with its first multi-year enterprise agreement signed in December 2025. Underlying proprietary technology includes the ActiveVoices AI platform and OAM Live's integrated production infrastructure, which together support both internal team operations and external B2B services.

Revenue is generated through a mix of sponsorship and naming rights deals (Bell Canada exclusive telecom sponsorship in Canada through 2027, plus Movistar naming partnership and a long tail of brand partners including AMD, Razer, Monster Energy, SCUF, Kappa, HP, Cupra, BlackLyte), franchise league economics, agency/event production fees, merchandise direct-to-consumer sales, and emerging subscription-based ActiveVoices services. The company reached record full-year 2025 revenue of $28.5M (+5% YoY) and record Q1 2026 revenue of CAD 5.4M (+7% YoY), with gross margin expanding from 52% to 59% and adjusted EBITDA loss narrowing 43% to CAD 1.3M. The company remains in a net loss position and has flagged going-concern uncertainty requiring additional capital in Q2 2026.
