INTERIM REPORT , JANUARY – MARCH 2024 3
COMMENTS BY THE CEO
Our core business has held a strong pace during the
first period of the year, with good underlying sales,
which gives a good result. We have a very strong
foundation with a large cash position and a solid
recurring cash flow . This gives us a good position for
taking advantage of the opportunities that open up
in a games market that is turbulen t at the moment .
We have areas where we need to do better, not least,
our games must maintain a good and consistent
quality. In Cities: Skylines II in particular, we are well
aware that lately we have not met the players’
expectations in this area; this will not stay the case.
We have an amazing asset in our loyal player base
whose great commitment makes our games what
they are, and we are putting a lot of effort into giving
them the game that they deserve.
In the quarter, we released Millennia, our first
historical 4X game. Although the initial reception was
mixed, it’s clear that many players appreciated the
game’s core mechanics, and we believe that there is
a lot of potential to develop. The game was also
important in another aspect: it is our first step into a
new niche that we have been interested in for a long
time, and the release gives us many new insights
about both the players and the game type, creating a
base from which we can continue to evolve i n the
genre.
The rest of the year will be exciting. In the near future
we have a good range of expansions planned for our
games and we will release both Foundry and Life by
You in Early Access. Both games are, in different
ways, interesting releases in new territories f or us
within the broader management and simulation
genres.
We know what our growth and improvement areas
are, and with our foundation and the teams’
commitment , we look forward to what is ahead of us.

Fredrik Wester, CEO
