ENHANCED GAMES SUCCESS DRIVING SIGNIFICANT GROWTH FOR “LIVE ENHANCED” CONSUMER PLATFORM

Athlete-Led Creative & Personal Best Messaging Validating Company’s Flywheel Strategy

NEW YORK, June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Enhanced (NYSE: ENHA), the elite sports competition and personalized performance products company drew significant global attention and marked an important step in building the company’s sports, health and performance platform. Between January and May 2026, Enhanced was featured nearly 4,000 times by independent media outlets worldwide. These publications reached a combined 16.7 billion total unique monthly visitors (UVM). In addition, global broadcast coverage delivered an estimated reach of approximately 932 million people. Combined with extensive social media engagement, the Enhanced Games reached and engaged more than one billion people worldwide and increased Enhanced’s owned-media audience by 884% compared to the prior four-month period.

Importantly, the unprecedented awareness generated by the Games is translating into measurable business results for Live Enhanced, the company’s consumer health platform. The Company is seeing materially improved marketing efficiency, providing direct evidence of the flywheel between the sports and consumer businesses.

“On May 24th, the world tuned in to watch the Enhanced Games. Now we are beginning to see that attention convert into new customers, generating revenue growth across our consumer platform,” said Maximilian Martin, CEO of Enhanced.

“As a performance marketing agency, we run campaigns for many consumer brands. Enhanced’s athlete-led campaigns are among the most efficient we have seen, consistently outperforming traditional advertising while driving exceptional engagement,” said Dean Rojas, Co-Founder of Gassed, Enhanced’s marketing partner.

Athlete-Led Content Significantly Outperforming Traditional Advertising
The defining stories of the inaugural Enhanced Games were the extraordinary personal-best performances delivered by athletes. At an average age of 30, competing athletes achieved 21 personal bests, with many surpassing marks they had set a decade or more earlier.

For example, Megan Romano set her previous personal best in the 50m freestyle (24.98) on July 16, 2013. Nearly 13 years later, at the inaugural Enhanced Games, she broke it with a 24.55. She is now performing better than she did in her early twenties after only a few months of enhanced training. Her result shows what is possible with medical enhancement and has made her the blueprint for aging on her own terms.

“Not only am I in the best shape of my life, but I also feel better and happier than ever before,” said Romano. “I am incredibly grateful for the support I have received from Enhanced and my message to everyone is simple: strive every day to become the best version of yourself. Don’t let your twenties be the best years of your life. Make sure your thirties, forties, and beyond are even better. The products and services available through the Live Enhanced telehealth platform can be powerful tools to help you get there. I encourage everyone to try it for themselves.”

These stories of recovery, longevity, resilience, and renewed performance are resonating strongly with consumers and are emerging as a powerful driver of engagement for Live Enhanced. The company has found that athlete-led creative is materially outperforming traditional non-athlete advertising across key marketing metrics, including engagement and conversion.

Creating a New Category at the Intersection of Sports, Health, and Longevity
Enhanced believes it is establishing a unique position within the consumer health landscape. While much of the direct-to-consumer health industry focuses on helping customers recover from a problem, e.g. weight gain, hair loss, or other conditions and get them back to their baseline, Live Enhanced is designed for individuals seeking to optimize performance beyond their baseline in the areas of recovery, longevity, vitality, and overall health.

“Our customers are not simply looking to restore lost health. They are looking to maximize human potential and become the healthiest, strongest, and most resilient versions of themselves,” said Martin. “We believe this represents a distinct category within consumer health, and one we intend to lead.”

Sports Business Already Demonstrating Significant Commercial Potential
The company emphasizes that the Enhanced Games are not merely a marketing vehicle for Live Enhanced. The sports business is designed to become a substantial standalone business in its own right, generating revenue from sponsorships, media rights, events, and related commercial opportunities.

Even in its inaugural year, when many big brands held back because of the controversial concept, the company secured approximately $32 million of sponsorship contract value, with a growing pipeline of brands expressing interest following the inaugural Games. Management believes sponsorship demand will accelerate meaningfully as a result of the event’s unprecedented reach and engagement. The company intends to announce additional events and initiatives throughout the year as it continues building what it believes can become one of the world’s most valuable sports and performance brands.

“I believe the combination of our exciting and scaling sports franchise which engaged more than one billion people globally and drove meaningful sponsorship revenue in year one, with our Live Enhanced consumer platform that is showing strong customer demand and could potentially benefit from product expansion through regulatory tailwinds in the peptide space, creates a powerful foundation for long-term growth for Enhanced,” added Martin. “We are encouraged by the average order size of new customers in their first order, an early signal we believe demonstrates that the Enhanced brand is resonating and deemed trustworthy, a key consumer consideration when it comes to personal healthcare. Our inaugural Games were not the culmination of our vision, but merely the beginning of how we intend to scale both businesses.”

The Company expects to provide a more fulsome update on the Live Enhanced platform with its Q2 results, expected in mid-August.

EBANX and Pagaleve blend Pix and BNPL to expand access to installment plans to 60 million consumers in Brazil

Published

on

By

Powered by AI-driven instant credit scoring, the collaboration between both fintechs enables 60 million people without credit cards to pay in installments using Pix, adopted by 170 million consumers—96% of the country’s adult population

SÃO PAULO and CURITIBA, Brazil, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EBANX today announced a strategic partnership with Pagaleve to introduce Pix 4x, a Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) solution that enables purchases to be split into installments using Pix as the payment method. While installment payments are a decades-long tradition in the largest Latin American economy—practiced by 70% of consumers, per Serasa Experian—this method makes installment purchasing accessible without a credit card, a trend on the rise in emerging markets. It seamlessly blends this deep cultural preference with the immense popularity of Pix, the instant payment system used by 96% of the adult population, giving consumers the power to split purchases into four biweekly installments.

Through Pix 4x, global companies will be able to reach not only the 60 million people who do not own a credit card, according to the country’s Central Bank, but also the significant number of Brazilians who face low credit limits.

“Brazil has one of the world’s most sophisticated payment ecosystems and Latin America’s largest e-commerce market, but millions of consumers have been locked out of installment payments due to credit barriers,” said Sebastian Fantini, Director of Product at EBANX. “By integrating Pagaleve’s risk engine with our global merchant network and Pix’s ubiquity, we’re creating something the Brazilian market has never had: a truly open BNPL platform accessible to any customer, anywhere in the country, that allows them to participate in the global digital economy.”

EBANX analysis based on Payments and Commerce Market Intelligence (PCMI) data projects Brazil’s digital commerce market will reach USD 516 billion by 2028, a 54% growth from the USD 336 billion recorded in 2025.

“The model we’ve built with EBANX breaks down traditional barriers because it doesn’t require consumers to have a credit card or limit available to pay a purchase in installments”, explained Eduardo Zucareli, Chief Commercial Officer of Pagaleve. “That opens the door to three underserved segments that we’re now reaching at scale: consumers without credit cards and those with restrictive credit card limits”.

Brazil’s BNPL market landscape

Brazil’s BNPL sector is experiencing strong momentum, with e-commerce spending projected to reach USD 2.7 billion by 2028, representing an 8% compound annual growth rate from 2024 to 2028, according to PCMI data analyzed by EBANX.

Last year, 47% of transaction value in e-commerce was processed through installments, placing Brazil second among the 15  emerging markets analysed by PCMI, behind only Argentina at 60%.  According to EBANX’s internal data featured in the Beyond Borders 2026 study, installments can boost Average Order Value (AOV) in Brazil by up to 2.7 times. Retailers offering this payment option also recorded an average 20% revenue increase, with SaaS providers experiencing growth peaks of 22.5%.

The technology and its economic impact

At the core of Pix 4x is Pagaleve’s proprietary risk analysis engine, built with machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms. The system conducts instant credit assessments in under three seconds, evaluating over 100 data points, including products purchased, quantity, amount, seller, customer profile, credit score, device, and IP address.

“This approach delivers approval rates 2-3 times higher than competitors while maintaining a delinquency rate of just 2%, demonstrating the precision of AI-driven risk assessment”, Zucareli noted.

The partnership with EBANX connects this credit intelligence to more than 500 merchants across online retail, gaming, social media, and online education verticals, democratizing access to products and services previously available only to higher-income consumers.

For global merchants, Pix 4x simplifies the complexity of offering installments as a cross-border payment option while removing financial risk. While shoppers pay the first of four biweekly installments immediately at checkout, sellers receive the payment, with Pagaleve assuming 100% of the default risk. This mirrors EBANX’s proven approach in local payments of using advanced technology to extend installments to underbanked consumers, enabling them to access the global digital economy.

According to Pagaleve, one retailer using the platform saw a 40% increase in AOV, and conversion rates rose by up to 20%. Total e-commerce sales increased 5%, with 82% of new shoppers using the solution, proving that the technology serves as both a payment facilitator and a significant growth lever.

“What makes Brazil’s BNPL market unique is how it merges the nation’s long-standing installment culture with modern instant payment infrastructure. This combination creates something powerful: a purchasing behavior Brazilians already trust, delivered through technology they already use daily, and extended to populations that traditional credit never reached,” said Fantini. “This is another success story that positions emerging markets as innovation leaders in the payments industry.”

ABOUT EBANX

EBANX is the leading payments platform connecting global businesses to the world’s fastest-growing digital markets. Founded in 2012 in Brazil, EBANX was built with a mission to expand access to international digital commerce. Leveraging proprietary technology, deep market expertise, and robust infrastructure, EBANX enables global companies to offer hundreds of local payment methods across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. More than just payments, EBANX drives growth, enhances sales, and delivers seamless purchase experiences for businesses and end-users alike.

Roland DG Announces North American Launch of the EU2-1000MF, Simplifying High-Output Board Production With Direct-to-Board UV Flatbed Printing

Published

on

By

The new EU2-1000MF delivers higher productivity and a more predictable production
workflow for sign and display businesses.

IRVINE, Calif., July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Roland DG Corporation, the world’s leading provider of digital printing solutions, today announced the North American launch of the EU2-1000MF, a next-generation large-format UV flatbed printer designed to simplify rigid media production by enabling efficient, direct-to-board printing in high-output environments.

Developed for businesses producing signage, retail displays, exhibitions, and interior panels, the EU2-1000MF removes the complexity of traditional roll-to-roll print, laminate and mount workflows. By allowing users to move directly from file to finished board, the new flatbed printer helps reduce manual handling, minimize rework, and deliver a more controlled, reliable production process.

Simplifying Board Production From File to Finished Output

Workflow simplification is at the core of the EU2-1000MF. Direct-to-board UV flatbed printing eliminates multiple production stages associated with roll printing, laminating, and mounting, enabling print businesses to streamline operations while improving consistency and turnaround times.

By reducing labor-intensive steps and material handling, the EU2-1000MF supports a more predictable production workflow, helping operators maintain quality and efficiency even in demanding, high-volume environments.

Built for Production, Designed for Consistency

The EU2-1000MF is engineered for daily, production-scale board printing. Designed to deliver stable output and consistent image quality, it provides a dependable flatbed solution for businesses handling rigid signage, display panels, and decorative applications.

Supporting media sizes up to 48 in. x 96 in. (1,220 mm x 2,440 mm)* and materials up to 3.74 in. (95 mm) thick, the EU2-1000MF accommodates a wide range of rigid substrates, making it suitable for both established flatbed users and screen printers transitioning to digital production.

Higher Output Without Added Complexity

Built with a new high-definition printhead, the EU2-1000MF delivers approximately 1.5 times higher productivity than the previous EU-1000MF, while maintaining image quality and operational approachability. Despite the performance increase, pricing remains unchanged from the outgoing model, offering a clear step forward without disruption.

This balance of higher output and familiar operation enables businesses to increase capacity and efficiency without adding complexity to existing workflows.

“With the EU2-1000MF, we focused on helping print businesses simplify how rigid media work gets done,” said Ryugo Nimura, Executive Officer, Global Sales and Marketing Division, Roland DG. “By moving directly from file to finished board, users can reduce manual steps, improve consistency, and increase output – all while maintaining the stable, repeatable quality needed for daily production.”

A Complete Flatbed Production System

The EU2-1000MF is positioned as part of a complete production ecosystem, combining a UV flatbed printer optimized for rigid and thick materials with VersaWorks 7 RIP software for organized, accurate and repeatable output, new E-US inks that deliver controlled running costs and stable performance, and Roland DG service and warranty support designed for production environments. Together, these elements provide print businesses with a reliable, end-to-end solution for efficient board production.

The EU2-1000MF is available now in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America through authorized Roland DGA dealers.

* The default setting is 44 in. x 96 in. (1,120 mm × 2,440 mm), and it can be expanded to 48 in. x 96 in. (1,220 mm x 2,440 mm) by a service engineer.
