Forward -looking statements
Certain statements in this presentation may constitute “forward -looking statements”
for purposes of U.S. federal securities laws. Such statements are based on current
expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties. In addition, any statements
that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events
or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward -looking
statements.
The forward -looking statements contained in this presentation are based on the
Company’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments
and their potential effects on the Company. There can be no assurance that future
developments affecting the Company will be those that the Company has anticipated.
Forward -looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which
are beyond the Company’s control) or other assumptions. You should carefully
consider the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the
Company’s 2024 Annual Report in Form 20 -F, filed by the Company on March 31,
2025, and other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should any of the Company’s assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these
forward -looking statements. Forward -looking statements speak only as of the date
they are made. Readers
are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward -looking statements, and the
Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward -looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
Presentation of N on -IFRS Financial Measures
In addition to the results provided in accordance with IFRS throughout this
presentation , the Company has provided the non -IFRS financial measure
“Adjusted EBITDA” (the “Non -IFRS Financial Measure”). The Company defines
Adjusted EBITDA as the profit/loss for the period, net of tax as presented in the
Company’s financial statements in accordance with IFRS, adjusted to exclude ( i)
goodwill and investments in equity accounted associates’ impairment, (ii) loss on
disposal of subsidiaries, (iii) income tax expense, (iv) other financial income,
finance income and expenses other than foreign exchange gains and losses and
bank charges, (v) change in fair value of share warrant obligations and other
financial instruments, (vi) share of loss of equity -accounted associates, (vii)
depreciation and amortization, (viii) share -based payments expense and (ix)
certain non -cash or other special items that we do not consider indicative of our
ongoing operating performance. The Company uses this Non -IFRS Financial
Measure for business planning purposes and in measuring its performance
relative to that of its competitors. The Company believes that this Non -IFRS
Financial Measure is a useful financial metric to assess its operating performance
from period -to -period by excluding certain items that the Company believes are
not representative of its core business. This Non -IFRS Financial Measure is not
intended to replace, and should not be considered superior to, the presentation of
the Company’ s financial results in accordance with IFRS. The use of the Non -IFRS
Financial Measure terms may differ from similar measures reported by other
companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures.

Key operating metrics and financial measure used in the presentation
In this presentation, we use a number of key operating metrics and a non -IFRS financial measure which we believe accurately, in material aspects, reflect the principal parameters of our historic
performance. For further information, regarding our operating metrics, see our 2024 Annual Report in Form 20 -F filed with the SEC.
Operating metrics
• Monthly Paying Users (MPUs) are the number of individuals who made a purchase
of a virtual item at least once on a particular platform in a calendar month
• Average Bookings Per Paying User (ABPPU) is the total Bookings attributable to in –
game purchases in a given period, divided by the number of months in that period,
divided by the average number of MPUs during the period
• Bookings are sales contracts generated from in -game purchases and sales
of advertisement in a given period
Non -IFRS measure
Adjusted EBITDA . The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as the profit/loss for the period,
net of tax as presented in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with IFRS,
adjusted to exclude ( i) goodwill and investments in equity accounted associates’ impairment,
(ii) loss on disposal of subsidiaries, (iii) income tax expense, (iv) other financial income, finance
income and expenses other than foreign exchange gains and losses and bank charges, (v)
change in fair value of share warrant obligations and other financial instruments, (vi) share
of loss of equity -accounted associates, (vii) depreciation and amortization, (viii) share -based
payments expense and (ix) certain non -cash or other special items that we do not consider
indicative of our ongoing operating performance . Adjusted EBITDA is a non -IFRS financial
measure and should not be construed as an alternative to net income/loss as an indicator
of operating performance as determined in accordance with IFRS.
