Concluding remarks
Q3 INTERIM REPORT FY 2025/26
 Core IPs continued to outperform in Q3, driving higher underlying forecast
 Executing against well-defined pipeline with at least one major in- house title from FY 2026/27,
together with a range of important mid -sized titles
 Focusing on three strategic priorities to further improve profitability and cash flow generation:
 IP -led focus: Capex shifting toward higher- return core IP (20% 40% to 80% of capex)
 Operational discipline: Targeting continued opex/ capex reduction next financial year
 Targeted cost initiatives: Divestment of several non- strategic and unprofitable businesses
in the quarter (Adj. EBIT of -178 SEKm TTM)
 Embracing and significantly experimenting with AI, as the technology advances at pace
 Our broader long -term strategic direction is taking shape: IP-first group, centered around our
best talents, studios, and franchises.
