Forecast
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE |Q2 FY 2025/26
Source: as of June 30, 2025
Our forecast reflects:
 Q3 is expected to be somewhat stronger than in Q2, primarily driven by a
stronger seasonal performance within Entertainment & Services offset by a
continued limited profitability within PC/Console
 Our impactful mid-sized PC/Console releases this year, including REANIMAL
and Gothic 1 Remake, are weighted towards Q4.
FY 2025/26 Adjusted EBIT forecast
SEK 1,000 million
For our current full financial year 2025/26 we reiterate an adjusted EBIT forecast
of at least
SEK 1 billion , including the financial contribution from Coffee Stain .
