TAIPEI and TOKYO, Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TNL Mediagene (Nasdaq: TNMG) (the "Company"), a Tokyo-based next-generation digital media and data group in Asia, today announces the adoption of Amazon Web Services (AWS) AI services that strengthen cross-border content creation and publishing efficiency, setting a new benchmark for media collaboration across regions.

As the media industry faces disruption from AI, the Company has chosen to embrace technological transformation by balancing authenticity and human-centered storytelling with operational efficiency and globalization. While there is concern in the industry that AI-generated content may overwhelm traditional media, the greater opportunity lies in its ability to amplify efficiency and value creation, as readers ultimately seek authentic and human-driven stories.

The Company has already implemented AI across multiple content scenarios. In sports reporting, AI helps consolidate real-time game data, allowing readers to focus on the excitement of the matches themselves. On its culinary platforms, AI has been applied to automatically translate recipes, broadening accessibility to multilingual audiences. Most notably, the Company has established a cross-border collaboration model. High-value content such as semiconductor industry news and cultural features produced in Taiwan can be translated and sent to editorial teams in Japan for quick review and immediate publication. At the same time, insights generated in Japan can be efficiently shared back to Taiwan, creating a high-performance cross-border content ecosystem.

This model delivers dual benefits. It enhances efficiency by freeing journalists from repetitive translation work, allowing them to focus on higher-value reporting and local investigations. At the same time, it maximizes the global value of premium content, enabling Taiwan- and Japan-produced stories to circulate seamlessly between markets, amplifying their international impact. By integrating AI tools, the Company has reduced mechanical tasks and elevated the unique value of human-driven journalism, bringing readers worldwide richer and more engaging content.

"Generative AI presents many opportunities for the media industry, and we have been very active in embracing this transformation by reshaping how content is created, distributed and governed. Our goal is to build an Asia-based content ecosystem that is enhanced by AI systems, resonates with younger audiences and earns the respect of global partners," Joey Chung, Co-Founder and CEO of TNL Mediagene, commented.

In FY2024, the Company reported consolidated revenue of $48.5 million, gross profit of $17.7 million, near breakeven Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS) of -$0.035. The Company's Technology business unit, which leverages advanced AI and data analytics to develop and optimize integrated advertising solutions focused on retail media contributed $14.2 million to consolidated revenue in 2024, representing 34% annual growth and accounting for approximately 29% of total group revenue – demonstrating tangible progress in AI-powered monetization.

Through using AWS's AI services, the Company has not only established a breakthrough in cross-border media workflows but also reinforced its leadership in AI-driven innovation. Looking ahead, the Company remains committed to integrating AI technology with content value, delivering more impactful and higher-quality media experiences to readers in Taiwan, Japan and around the world.

Financial Data

The condensed financial information presented in this press release should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in TNL Mediagene's annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 30, 2025, which provides a more complete discussion of its accounting policies and certain other information.

Use and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

In this press release, we have included Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, non-IFRS financial measures, which are key measures used by our management and board of directors in evaluating our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are our preferred metrics for profitability because we believe they facilitate operating performance and profit performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis and exclude items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core operating performance. These non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider any of them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS.

Our management does not consider Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EPS in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of these non-IFRS measures is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by IFRS to be recorded in our financial statements. In addition, these non-IFRS measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining such non-IFRS financial measures.

For more details on the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, and their reconciliations to IFRS financial measures, see the press release and the investor presentation TNL Mediagene released on May 13, 2025.
