CEO’s comments
With a strong start of the year, we delivered revenues of
EUR 58 million for Q1 2026 and EUR 210 million over the
last twelve months, representing 35 percent growth on a
reported basis compared to the twelve -month period
ended in Q1 last year and 43 percent growth on a constant
currency basis. This entirely organic growth reflects the
successful execution of our strategy of product
development and increasing monetisation .
The quarter was marked by a high degree of global
macroeconomic uncertainty. Despite this backdrop, we
have remained resilient and focused, continuing to execute
on our strategy and deliver strong operational and financial
results.
During the quarter, a total of 27 games were released. Of
these, 12 were fully developed in -house and 15 were
developed by our partner studios on our OpenRGS
platform. This reflects both our strong internal capacity to
continuously deliver high -quality content, and the strength
and attractiveness of our platform. By the end of the
quarter, we had nine studios developing games on our
platform, with Foxhound Games having launched its first
game in February. By the end of March, our portfolio
comprised 320 gam es.
The daily average number of rounds played in the last
twelve months grew by 43 percent compared to the last
twelve -month period that ended on 31 March 2025 . This
demonstrates the strength of our game portfolio, our high
release cadence of new games, and our strong distribution
network.
We have maintained a high level of commercial execution
and signed 79 deals during the quarter , of which 59 new
client deals . Some of the most notable include bet365 in
Pennsylvania, William Hill in Italy, and Delaware North in
West Virginia. This continues to underscore our long
runway for growth. On the operational side, we secured an
Online Gaming Service Provider licence in Connecticut – an
important milestone in our ability to follow our clients
across their prioritised markets.
We combine d solid revenue growth with high margins .
Adjusted operating profit (EBIT) amounted to EUR 47
million, representing a growth in line with revenue growth
and a margin of 82 percent.
We continue to see attractive opportunities to use our
strong cash generation to invest in early -stage companies
within our ecosystem where we can capture significant
potential by providing both capital and strategic support to
founders. We refer to this initiative as Ha cksaw Ventures.
We view this as an attractive and long -term capital
allocation opportunity, while short -term financial impact
from specific investments will be limited in relation to the
group. As a part of this, we made an investment in Kit sune
Studios in the fourth quarter last year and in Jinx Gaming
during the quarter.
Hacksaw’s group strategy remains robust, built on the dual
pillars of product innovation and increasing monetisation.
We will continue to develop and launch new games, while
driving monetisation by expanding our global customer
base and attracting new part ners.
Q1 marks another strong quarterly result based on both
the exceptional execution of our team and the significant
market opportunity ahead of us. We enter the second
quarter with solid momentum and great confidence.

Financial development during the f irst quarter
1 January – 31 March 202 6
Revenue
Total revenue for the f irst quarter amounted to EUR 5 7.6
million (4 5.0 ), an increase of 2 8% compared to the
corresponding period last year. On a constant currency basis,
the revenue growth was 37%. The growth continued to be
driven by the strength of the back catalogue of games, the
launch of new games, and the growth in the customer base .
The revenue growth was partly offset by movements in FX
exchange rates compared to the corresponding period last
year, which had a negative impact on revenues.
The average daily number of rounds played increased by 27%
compared to the first quarter of 202 5. The continued
broadening of the games portfolio was reflected in the top 10
games contributing 43% ( 50) of total gross gaming revenue
(GGR). 12 (9) in -house developed games were released. Third
party studios released 1 5 (8) games on the OpenRGS
platform . By the end of the period, nine third party studios
had released games on the platform.
The total games portfolio comprised 320 (236) released
games at the end of the quarter, and the games were
available in over 35 locally licensed markets.

Operating profit (EBIT)
Adjusted operating profit for the quarter amounted to
EUR 47.4 million (3 7.3 ), an increase of 2 7% compared to the
first quarter of 202 5. The adjusted operating margin was 82%
(83).
Operating profit has been adjusted by EUR 0. 0 million ( 0.3)
relating to items affecting comparability (IAC), which mainly
comprised expenses related to the initial public offering (for
more information, please refer to Note 5: Items affecting
comparability). Operating profit for the quarter, including the
IAC, amounted to EUR 4 7.4 million ( 37.0).
Adjusted operating expenses for the quarter amounted to
EUR 10. 2 million ( 7.7). The increase is primarily due to higher
personnel expenses from continued investments in new
recruitment , mainly within game development and
distribution , to ensure that we can capitalise on the large
opportunity ahead , partly offset by higher capitalisation of
game development expenses . Additionally, the increase is
due to higher cost of services sold from continued scaling of
the OpenRGS platform, expenses related to driv ing the
continued growth and development of the business, and
higher depreciation and amortisation due to continued
investments in capitalised game development expenses.
Adjusted operating profit (EBIT) by quarter,
EUR million

Financial items
Financial items amounted to EUR 0. 4 million ( -4.9 ) and mainly
related to interest income on short -term investments of cash

(0.1 06), and earnings per share after dilution amounted to

The Group’s effective tax rate was 4.9 % ( 6.3). The tax rate
reflects the countries in which earnings are generated and

(1.6) during the quarter and related to the capitalisation of

the quarter and mainly related to investments in office
equipment.
Liquidity and cash flow

capital amounted to EUR 4 8.6 million (33.5 ) for the quarter.
The increase is mainly related to the increase in earnings.

capital was negatively affected by an increase in operating
receivables of EUR 3.5 million . The positive change in working
capital in the previous year was attributable to several one –
off items relating to the dividend payment totaling 11.1
million.

EUR -2.4 million (-1.6) and included investments in intangible
assets related to the development of new games,
improvements to the technical platform, and patents and

HACKSAW AB (PUBL) | INTERIM REPORT Q1 202 6 13 (18)

Notes to the financial statement
Note 1. Accounting principles
This interim report has been prepared for the Group in
accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and
applicable rules in the Annual Accounts Act. The interim
report for the Parent Company has been prepared in
accordance with Chapter 9, Interim Rep ort, of the Annual
Accounts Act. The accounting principles applied for the Group
and the Parent Company are consistent with the accounting
principles used in the preparation of the most recent annual
report.
Amounts are expressed in thousands of Euro (EUR) unless
otherwise indicated. Amounts or figures in parentheses
indicate comparative figures for the corresponding period of
last year.
Change of reporting currency in the parent company
As a result of the parent company changing its reporting
currency to euro (EUR) as of 1 January 2026, future financing
will primarily be denominated in euro. Consequently, the
assessment of the parent company’s functional currency has
been revised to EUR a nd has been applied prospectively from
1 January 2026.
Future change of accounting principles
No changed or new standards or interpretation that have
come into force have affected the Group’s financial reports.
New and amended standards not yet applied by the Group
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements is
effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January
2027 and has not yet been adopted by the EU. IFRS 18 will
replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and
introduce new requi rements aimed at achieving greater
comparability in the reporting of results for similar entities
and providing users with more relevant information and
transparency.
The new standard IFRS 18 introduces requirements in three
areas to enhance comparability, transparency, and usefulness
of financial statements. This includes new structures in the
Group’s statement of profit or loss with two new subtotals
(“Operating profi t” and “Profit before financing and income
taxes”), expanded guidance on presentation and note
disclosures, and disclosure requirements for key performance
measures used in external communication (Management –
defined Performance Measures, MPMs). The impleme ntation
also affects other standards, including IAS 7 Statement of
Cash Flows, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and IAS 33
Earnings per Share.
Hacksaw has initiated a preliminary assessment of the effects
of IFRS 18 and will continue to evaluate its impact during
2026. The adoption of IFRS 18 will require changes to the
structure of the Group’s statement of profit or loss, as well as
assessments regarding the presentation of items in the
financial statements and disclosures in the notes. The
presentation of the statement of cash flows will also be
affected by the implementation of IFRS 18. Furthermore, the
adoption of IFRS 18 will require the iden tification of
Management -defined Performance Measures (MPMs)
relevant to the Group and the preparation of related
disclosures in the notes.
Other amendments are not expected to have any material
impact on the financial statements of the Group or the parent
company in the period of initial application. None of the new
or amended standards have been early adopted by the
Group.
Note 2. Financial instruments
All of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are carried at
amortised cost in the consolidated financial statement. The
Group has no financial instruments that are carried at fair
value. There are thus no differences between the carrying
amount and the fair value of the Group’s financial
instruments.
Note 3. Related party transactions
The following are considered to be related parties; the
members of the company’s Board of Directors, the Group’s
senior executives, as well as the close family members of
those groups of people. The Parent Company is considered to
have a related party rela tionship with its subsidiaries. It is the
company’s opinion that all transactions with related parties
have been conducted on market terms.
During the first three months in 202 6, an employee in a
senior position has performed services related to financial
consulting from the company Camilleri Galea LTD with a value
of EUR 1 9.3 thousand. The transactions have been conducted
on market terms.
For the same period in 202 5 the amounts were
EUR 27.9 thousand from the company Camilleri Galea LTD .
Transactions with associated companies
Hacksaw also has transactions with related parties that are
associated companies. The transactions arise in the ordinary
course of business and are based on commercial terms and
market prices.

Note 4. Estimates and Assumptions
Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are
based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that are deemed to be (Amounts in EUR thousands) 2026 2025 2026 2025

reasonable in the present circumstances. The Group makes
estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The
resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom
equal the actual results. The estimates and assumptions that
involve a major risk of ma terial adjustments in the reported
values of assets and liabilities during the next financial year
are outlined below.
Income tax
Hacksaw’s business, including intra -Group transactions, is
conducted in accordance with the Group’s interpretations of
the applicable laws, tax treaties and other tax provisions in
each country’s jurisdictions. The Group uses external
independent tax advis ors to make judgements about the
current tax situation, but there is still a risk of negative tax
consequences if a tax authority in an individual country
decides on a legislative amendment concerning the tax in
question.
The determination of provisions for income tax requires
significant judgements and estimates, as the final tax is
uncertain for many transactions and estimates. The Group
recognises tax amounts that are considered to be regular in
consultation with externa l tax advisors. The amounts
recognised may differ from the actual outcome for both
direct and indirect taxes. This is mainly due to the fact that
the tax authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Group
operates may make more restrictive interpretations of the
regulations than those made by the Group.

Note 5. Items affecting comparability
Items affecting comparability amounted to EUR 0. 0 million ( 0.3) for the period, which mainly refers to expenses and initial public
offering expenses.

Note 6. Significant events after the end of the quarter
On 27 April 2026, the annual general meeting of Hacksaw AB was held . For more information, please visit:

Consolidated key financia ls
The Group presents certain financial measures in the interim
report that are not defined under IFRS. The company believes
that these measures provide valuable supplemental
information to investors and the company’s management as
they permit the evaluation of the company’s financial
performance and position. Since not all companies calculate
financial measurements in the same way, they are not
comparable to those used by other companies. These
financial measurements should therefore not be seen as a
substitu te for measures that are defined in accordance with
IFRS. Below are the measurements not defined in accordance
with IFRS, unless otherwise stated, and the reconciliation of
those.
