THUNDERFUL GROUP INTERIM REPORT JANUARYSEPTEMBER 2024

CEO Comments
Following the extensive restructuring and divestments
that characterized the first half of the year, we have now
laid the foundation for a smaller, more specialized com –
pany. With a new strategy and organisational structure
in place, we now focus on operational, investment and
cost-efficiency improvements to reach positive cash flow
as soon as possible.
The group’s net sales amounted to 74.3 MSEK (83.2) in the third
quarter of 2024, with an operating result of –68.8 MSEK (–9.6).
Personnel-related costs and other external expenses
amounted to 94.8 MSEK during the quarter, which is within the
range previously communicated in connection with the restruc –
turing program initiated in January.
Publishing
The Publishing segment, which includes the global releases of
games developed both by external third-party developers and
by our eight internal game studios, had net sales of 43.5 MSEK
(54.2) in the third quarter, approximately 20 percent lower than
last year. This change is partly due to several one-off revenues
linked to platform agreements in the third quarter of 2023.
The viking game Aska, which launched in Early Access at the
end of June, has continued to exceed sales expectations and
maintains strong momentum for a successful full release in 2025.
In August, we launched SteamWorld Heist II on PC, Switch,
PlayStation, and Xbox. Despite receiving critical acclaim, with an
average Metacritic score above 80 and 96% positive reviews on
Steam, we have faced challenges in re-engaging players who
enjoyed the first game. Following the launch, and as part of our
new strategy, we’ve decided on a different approach to market –
ing our games. We are placing greater focus on targeted audi –
ence activities and initiatives that build player communities and
drive long-term engagement with our games.
Although SteamWorld Heist II has performed below our expec –
tations, our other transactional sales – selling our games directly
to consumers through online stores – have continued to improve,
which is a positive indication of our increased commercial focus.
For the first nine months of the year, the segment’s net sales
totaled 132.9 MSEK (128.0), slightly higher than last year.
At the major gaming convention GamesCom in August,

Thunderful announced two new titles: Lost in Random: The

Eternal Die, an action-packed rogue-like adventure game that
will be available on multiple platforms, including PC, Xbox,

Nintendo Switch, and PS5, and Reignbreaker, another rogue-
like game with a unique “medievalpunk” aesthetic. Both games
are set to launch in 2025.
Co-development & Services
This segment includes co-development operations within Coat –
sink and ser vice operations within Robot Teddy. The quarter’s net
sales amounted to 30.7 MSEK (28.9), and adjusted EBITDA was
5.5 MSEK (22.4). The lower EBITDA result is partly due to slightly
higher personnel costs within Coatsink, but more significantly
due to a one-off effect in the form of a release of reser ves in the
same quarter of 2023.
The revenue primarily comes from co-development, where
Coatsink’s experienced game developers continue to deliver
VR-focused development ser vices to satisfied global clients such
as Meta and Sony Pictures. The team contributed to the develop –
ment of the critically acclaimed game Batman: Arkham Shadow,
which launched in October.
Following the end of the quarter, Robot Teddy’s partner Dob –
orog Games announced that the game Clone Drone in the
Hyperdome will be launched on Meta Quest and Steam VR in
December.
Continued Improvements
After a transformative first half of the year, Thunderful Group
now has a clear focus on refining and improving all parts of the
business to achieve goals of positive cash flow and future
growth.
Throughout the year, Thunderful has released several exciting
titles, and we have more games in the pipeline that we have high
expectations for. Our direction for ward is clear: although there is
still much work to be done before we reach our full potential, we
are seeing important improvements step by step, giving us rea –
son for long-term optimism.

Operational overview
by segment
Q3
Publishing
The Publishing segment is dedicated to the development, market –
ing, distribution and commercialisation of digital games and
intellectual properties (IPs). This includes projects developed
internally by in-house studios as well as those created externally
by third-party teams.
Revenue for the Publishing segment primarily comes from trans –
actional sales (i.e. direct sales to consumers via online stores), sup –
plemented by platform deals and collaborations with various mar –
keting, commercialisation, and distribution partners. Back catalog
sales, which encompass all game titles released more than two
years ago, contribute to form an essential and stable foundation of
the segment’s income.
The Publishing segment requires ongoing investments in capital –
ised game development projects which generally have a develop –
ment cycle spanning several years before they can begin generat –
ing revenue. These investments are crucial for maintaining a steady
and growing pipeline of high-quality game releases.
The long-term objective of the Publishing segment is to create
commercially successful games and IPs that provide stable revenue
streams with strong financial performance, ensuring sustained
growth and profitability for the business.

The Co-Development & Ser vices segment offers a range of game
development and publishing services to external partners.
Co-Development focuses on ideating, planning, and develop –
ing game projects in collaboration with external partners and
licensees. This segment generates revenue through predictable
work-for-hire arrangements with stable margins and can include
revenue-sharing agreements. With external partners contributing
funding, Thunderful Group can efficiently manage costs while
fostering successful partnerships.
The Ser vices business offers tailored support to third-party
game developers who choose to self-publish. Utilizing the exper –
tise and resources of the Publishing segment, services include
business development, marketing support, release management,
and strategic reviews. Revenue is generated through a combina –
tion of consulting fees and revenue-sharing agreements, ensuring
predictable and stable margins.
The long-term objective of the Co-Development & Ser vices seg –
ment is to be recognised as a best-in-class ser vice provider, foster
enduring relationships that contribute to partners’ success, while
generating predictable revenue and profits for Thunderful Group.
Thunderful Groups’ operations are divided
into two segments:

Dividend
Thunderful Group strives to invest its profit and cash flows
in organic growth initiatives and acquisitions to support value
creation, and therefore does not intend to pay annual dividends
in the medium term.
Financial targets
Thunderful Group has previously communicated financial

targets, however, in connection with the divestment of the

Distribution operations, the Board decided to withdraw these.
Thunderful Group intends to communicate new long-term

financial targets when appropriateate.

Mikael Falkner was appointed as new CFO and will assume his
role by 18 November 2024 at the latest, succeeding Per Alnefelt,
interim CFO.
Events after the end of the period
Thunderful Group announced that they will implement a strategic
restructuring program within its publishing segment. This pro –
gram involves increased focus on publishing third-party games
and a reduction of investments in internal game projects. The
program will result in a workforce reduction of 80–100 employ –
ees and the discontinuation of certain internal game projects.

Auditor’s report
(Unofficial translation)
Thunderful Group AB (publ), corp. reg. no. 559230-0445
Introduction
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information
(interim report) of Thunderful Group AB as of 30 September 2024
and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors
and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presenta –
tion of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS
34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to
express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with the International
Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim
Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A
review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons respon –
sible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analyti –
cal and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in
scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International
Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted audit –
ing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review
do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become
aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an
audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish
Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish
Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
