No major content releases this period
No big boost from My Singing Monsters (MSM) this time
Comparatively lower performance from last year due to:
Main reason is MSM settling down at a lower level as expected
Difference in product/content levels between the periods
Market weakness
Y – O – Y C O M P A R I S O N N O T S T R A I G H T F O R W A R D
Variability in product and content release timing makes Y-o-Y
comparison not always appropriate
Peaks and valleys in our results depending on the pipeline
Group not yet at the stage where performance can be
smoothed out

MSM lower performance as expected
Daybreak performing as expected
Piranha contribution down from SEK
23mm due to content timing
difference
Market weakness not impacting live
service games in a meaningful way
G A M E S
Service businesses under more
pressure from market weakness
Toadman and Petrol are both
meaningfully impacted by this
Fireshine’s physical distribution also
down but indie digital publishing
providing positive offset

Solid financial standing today
Excess liquidity
Steady cash flows
No leverage
No concerns in withstanding market
downturn
Stable foundation to execute our
business plan from
Early stages of long-term business
plan execution
I N T E R I M T R A N S I T I O N P E R I O D
Transition will last several quarters
Expectations over this period:
Steady profitability – live service titles
will be steady to slowly declining
New product releases to “augment”
profit streams from live games
Until “of scale”, variability in q-to-q
and y-o-y growth
Depends on product release timing
Short 3-month window not the right way
to evaluate performance
Review of a broader sample size (12 mo)
needed until we are at scale
Transition in Progress

Targeting 2026 and beyond

Franchise based model with
predictable cadence of releases
Pipeline designed for repeatability and
predictable output with known IPs
Premium and hybrid product pricing
model for more predictable outcomes

Summary
Summary
E G 7 Q 1 2 0 2 4 I N T E R I M R E P O R T
15
As expected, Q1 was a “quieter” quarter, reflecting limited planned releases
No major product and content releases for the period
MSM lower level performance as expected
Market weakness pressuring our 3
rd
party service business units
Outlook for the year is still intact
Q1 performance level not indicative of our full year performance
Major/large product releases weighted towards the backend of the year
Risks have increased with the market challenges but not enough to derail our plans
For now, we remain on track and are working hard to deliver against our published
targets
Benefitting from our solid financial position in a tough environment
Reaping the benefits of pre-emptive actions taken to fortify our foundation
Limited risks or concerns from the on-going market correction
Able to maintain long-term focus while some of our peers are fighting for survival
