CEO Comment
Increased Turnover and reduced losses compared with the previous year
The past year provided significant improvements of key figures compared with the previous year on the back of increased turnover and reduced costs. The net turnover amounted to 68.1 MSEK 2024, an increase of more than 30 % compared with 2023. The EBIT result amounted to -7.9 MSEK 2024, a significant improvement compared with -29.9 MSEK 2023. The result after financial items was also significantly improved 2024 with -16.9 MSEK compared to -34.1 MSEK 2023. Furthermore, the result for the fourth quarter was significantly stronger compared to the previous year, despite a decreased net turnover.
Continued focus on cost savings
The goal and expectation was to close an additional deal for an externally financed game project in the end of the fourth quarter, where Tableflip Entertainment was meant to have a significant role. Unfortunately, the game market remains challenging and despite far advanced negotiations we were unable to close the deal. Thus, the Board of Directors have resolved to execute further cost savings, where the most important is the divestment of Tableflip Entertainment to the studio management for a symbolic consideration. Additionally, the staff is significantly reduced in the remaining group through a combination of expiring project employments and cancelled employment contracts, which together with the divestment of Tableflip bring down the total number of employees with ca 50 %.
Signed partner agreements for new game projects to unlock significant public financing
The German program for public funding of game development projects opened up for new applications in the end of 2024 and our studios have applied for funds for several new projects. It is satisfying to conclude that we have contracted matching partner financing amounting to ca 16.6 MSEK, which allows for a total financing of ca 30 MSEK, provided that the applications for public funding are approved. Furthermore, we are in evaluation processes for several potential larger work for hire projects. Additionally, we are working on securing a strong external IP and financing for our inhouse developed game with the project title Battle Castles.
Significant upside in coming releases
The work is continuing successfully with our three key game releases during 2025: gameXcite's Star Trek based game with the project name Galactic Journey, the kart racing game Ed & Edda: GRAND PRIX - Racing Champions, and a yet to be announced game, which will be published by THQ Nordic. All three projects have the potential to provide significant revenue streams from successful launches.
2024 was a year when we made great strides to turn the Company around. We have increased the turnover and reduced the costs, which has resulted in substantially lower losses compared to the previous year. Additionally, we have decreased the indebtedness significantly. In Q2 and Q3 we also achieved a positive EBIT result. With the above-mentioned substantial downsizing of the Company, we are positioning ourselves for profitability and with every week we come closer to the game releases of the year with potential to provide significant revenue and a strong result for 2025.
