PARIS, FRANCE – April 16, 2025 – PULLUP Entertainment (FR0012419307 – ALPUL) is reporting its full –
year revenue for FY 2024 /25 (unaudited) , ended 31 March, 2025.
Geoffroy Sardin, PULLUP Entertainment CEO, commented : “2024/25 was a remarkable year for PULLUP
Entertainment. Our full -year revenue came in 101% above our previous record year, Focus Entertainment
Publishing was named as one of the world’s top 5 publishers for game quality in the Metacritic 2024
rankings, and we significantly reduced our net debt.
These successes were built around a broad and diversified performance: very strong growth from new
releases and a notably resilient back catalogue, supported by our Live games, driving recurrent revenues .
Two key pillars underpin this performance: first, our strategic positioning on the AA and independent
segments, enabling us to reach passionate and highly engaged player communities. Second, the quality
and distinctiveness of our titles, built around uncompromising gameplay s, are perfectly aligned with
what players are looking for today ”.
Aurélien Briand, Chief Financial Officer, adds: “Today, we confirm our EBITA targets and a significant
reduction in financial net debt for FY 2024 /25. Looking ahead to FY 2025 /26, we have already unveiled
a very rich line -up of games. Next month will see the release of the highly anticipated Roadcraft
simulation game that builds on the legacy of our blockbuster SnowRunner . Alongside this, our
investments in Dotemu will start to bear fruit, with several upcoming new releases. During a recent
“Nintendo Direct ”, Dotemu notably revealed the eagerly awaited Marvel Cosmic Invasion, developed by
Tribute Games, the studio behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge which has reached
more than 3 million players. PULLUP Entertainment will also be launching two new titles for which we
own the intellectual property, Memories in Orbit and Absolum, to enhance our brand portfo lio. For
2025 /26, we confirm that we are on track to exceed our prior record levels of revenue and EBITA achieved
in 2022 -23”.
Geoffroy Sardin concludes: “Building on this excellent strategic and commercial momentum, we are
enhancing the maturity and discipline of our organization. This progress is reflected in our governance,
further strengthened through key leadership appointments, as well as the major partnerships signed
during the year with leading names from the world of entertainment, including Marvel, Mattel, Koei
Tecmo as well as Games Workshop with the development of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 . We
are strengthening f urther PULLUP Entertainment’s value creation potential .”
