Brand Engagement Network's Acquired Operations Generate $5.3 Million in First Half 2026 Revenue

Wilmington, Delaware – Brand Engagement Network, Inc. (BEN) announced today that operations acquired through its June 30, 2026, purchase of Cataneo GmbH generated approximately $5.3 million in revenue for the first half of 2026. This represents a significant increase in the company's scale.

Prior to this acquisition, BEN's reported revenue was modest, with $104,311 in the first quarter of 2026 and below $10,000 in comparable prior-year periods. The integration of Cataneo's established enterprise software business has substantially expanded BEN's overall revenue run-rate and commercial footprint.

The company also anticipates realizing approximately $900,000 in annualized cost synergies over the twelve months ending June 30, 2027, through consolidations and related exits. These expected efficiencies, coupled with BEN's ongoing cost-discipline initiatives, are projected to enhance operating leverage as the combined business is integrated and scaled.

"The acquisition has materially changed the scale of our business," stated Walid Khiari, Chief Financial and Operating Officer. "We now have a substantially larger revenue base, positive operating contribution from the acquired operations, and a clear path to meaningful cost synergies through consolidation. These elements strengthen our fundamentals and position us to drive greater operating leverage as we integrate and grow."

BEN, an enterprise AI software company, will consolidate the acquired business starting from the acquisition date and will provide updated consolidated results in upcoming filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
