First Quarter 2024/25 Sales: Confirmation of Full-Year 2024/25 Growth Targets

NACON reported first‑quarter sales of €32.3 million for the 2024/25 financial year, a 9.0 % decline from €35.5 million in the same period of 2023/24 after adjusting for a partial disposal of Gollum. Gaming revenue fell sharply to €17.8 million, with new‑game catalogue sales dropping 69.4 % to €3.8 million due to a high base in the prior year, while back‑catalogue sales rose 17.9 % to €14.0 million, buoyed by titles such as Robocop: Rogue City and Taxi Life. Accessories sales increased 27.5 % to €13.3 million, driven by strong demand for RIG 600 PRO headsets and REVOLUTION 5 PRO controllers in the United States and Australia. Other mobile and audio sales grew 93 % to €1.1 million. The company projects a rebound in gaming revenue in the second quarter, citing an aggressive release schedule that includes Tiebreak: Official Game of the ATP and WTA, Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown, and Greedfall II. The accessories division is expected to remain robust, supported by new premium products under the REVOSIM brand and a growing console installed base. NACON’s capital increase in July 2024 has reinforced its financial position, enabling further investment in the gaming pipeline. The next sales update is slated for 28 October 2024. NACON operates globally with 23 subsidiaries and a distribution network covering 100 countries, employing over 1,000 staff across 16 development studios and a publishing arm that generated €20.9 million in operating income for 2023/24.

Nacon reported a 38.5 % surge in second‑quarter sales, reaching €44.7 million for the July‑September 2024 period and confirming its full‑year growth targets. Total first‑half sales for the fiscal year rose 13.6 % to €77.0 million, driven largely by a 65.4 % increase in gaming revenue (€27.9 million). Within gaming, catalogue sales doubled (+98.5 %) to €14.9 million, propelled by the launch of Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown™ and the strong reception of Ravenswatch™, while back‑catalogue sales grew 38.8 % to €13.0 million thanks to recent titles such as Robocop: Rogue City™ and Taxi Life™. Accessories sales expanded 8.7 % to €15.7 million, with headsets and controllers maintaining momentum in the U.S. and Australia. The company highlighted a robust release schedule for the second half of 2024/25, including new titles across sport, racing, adventure, and simulation genres, as well as several premium accessories such as a REVOSIM steering wheel and a COBRA chair. Nacon’s integrated publishing and peripherals model is positioned to sustain growth and enhance operating income. Geographically, Nacon operates through 23 subsidiaries with a distribution network covering 100 countries. The financial data are presented under IFRS, and the company’s workforce exceeds 1,000 employees.

Third Quarter 2024/25 Sales

NACON reported consolidated sales of €52.9 million for the third quarter of its 2024/25 financial year, a decline of 10.3 % from the €59.0 million recorded in the same period last year. Gaming sales fell 23.7 % to €25.4 million, driven by a sharp drop in new‑catalogue releases; catalogue sales dropped 52.9 % to €9.8 million after only one new title, MXGP: The Official Motocross Videogame™. Back‑catalogue sales rebounded 24.5 % to €15.6 million, supporting the company’s strategy of leveraging legacy titles. Accessories sales grew modestly 5.3 % to €25.2 million, buoyed by strong performance of RIG headsets and REVOLUTION 5 PRO controllers in the U.S. and Australia, despite delays of several new accessories slated for 2025. IFRS sales for the first nine months rose 2.5 % to €129.9 million, with gaming down 4.6 % and accessories up 11.1 %. NACON announced a new production plant for gaming accessories in Lauwin‑Planque, France, expected to improve supply chain control and inventory optimisation. The company projects a slight sales increase in the fourth quarter, though operating income may decline due to postponed releases. For 2025/26 first half, NACON anticipates strong growth from new gaming titles, continued back‑catalogue momentum, a busy release schedule, and the launch of Nintendo Switch™ 2 compatible products. The company operates across 100 countries with over 1,000 employees and is part of the Bigben group.

Sales for the 2024/25 Financial Year: Nacon

Nacon reported consolidated sales of €167.9 million for the 2024/25 financial year, essentially flat against the €167.7 million recorded in 2023/24. Quarterly performance varied, with a sharp decline in the first quarter (‑9 %) offset by a 38.5 % rise in the second quarter, followed by declines of 10.3 % and 7.1 % in the third and fourth quarters respectively. Gaming revenue fell by 3.8 % to €97.1 million, while accessories grew modestly by 4.1 % to €65.2 million; the “Other” segment, comprising mobile and audio sales, expanded 38 % to €5.6 million. The fourth‑quarter gaming output was limited to two titles, Rugby25™ and Ambulance Life™, resulting in a 35.8 % drop in new‑game catalogue sales to €9.9 million, compared with four releases and the hit Robocop: Rogue City™ in 2023/24. Back‑catalogue sales, however, surged 46.5 % to €16.1 million in the quarter and 31.2 % for the year, underscoring sustained demand for legacy titles. Accessories sales were constrained by postponed launches of the REVOSIM range and the Xbox Revolution X Unlimited controller, which will debut in 2025/26. Nacon anticipates a sharper growth trajectory for the next fiscal year, driven by an expanded release calendar of over ten new games across sports, racing, adventure and simulation genres, as well as the launch of high‑profile accessories in the first half of 2025/26. Production expansion at a new French controller plant and continued reliance on Vietnamese manufacturing for U.S. inventory are expected to support this outlook.

Consolidated Sales: Second Quarter 2025-26

NACON reports a 4.5 % rise in consolidated sales for the second quarter of its 2025/26 fiscal year, reaching €46.8 million compared with €44.8 million in the same period last year. Total first‑half sales for April–September 2025 amount to €78.1 million, up 1.4 % from €77.0 million in the prior year. Gaming sales dominate growth, increasing by €8.8 million (31.7 %) to €36.7 million, driven largely by a 52.5 % jump in catalogue titles and a modest 7.8 % rise in back‑catalogue revenue. Catalogue releases such as Rugby League 26, Robocop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business, and Hell is Us contribute significantly, with the latter achieving an 88 % user score and over 1.5 million residual wish‑lists. Back‑catalogue sales reflect the strength of NACON’s existing portfolio. The accessories segment, however, contracts sharply by 42.7 % to €9.0 million, largely due to a 66 % decline in U.S. sales caused by higher customs duties. European accessory sales, particularly for Switch 2 and XBOX Revolution X Unlimited controllers, are expected to provide some recovery. NACON anticipates continued catalogue momentum in the second half of the year, with nearly a dozen new titles slated for release, while back‑catalogue activity should remain steady. The company maintains confidence in meeting its 2025/26 annual targets, citing a robust release schedule and new accessory products. The next financial update for the first half of 2025/26 will be issued on November 24, 2025.

First-Quarter 2025-26 Sales: Nacon

Nacon reported consolidated revenue of €31.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025‑26 (April 1–June 30), a slight decline of 2.9 % compared with the €32.3 million recorded in the same period of 2024‑25. Gaming sales, however, grew by 10.4 % to €19.7 million, driven largely by a 46.4 % jump in catalogue sales to €5.6 million, with key titles such as Tour de France 2025 and Pro Cycling Manager 25 contributing 25 % and 35 % sales increases respectively. Back‑catalogue performance remained flat at €14.0 million, meeting expectations. Accessories revenue fell to €10.8 million, a 18.8 % drop largely attributed to a weaker U.S. market and unfavorable year‑on‑year comparison, though European sales showed 22 % growth thanks to Nintendo Switch 2 and XBOX Revolution X Unlimited controller launches. Other revenue, including mobile and audio, decreased by 25.9 % to €0.8 million. The company anticipates robust second‑quarter growth, citing new releases such as Rugby League 26 and Robocop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business, with additional titles slated for the second half of the year. Nacon maintains confidence in meeting its 2025‑26 fiscal targets, citing a strong dual‑business model and ongoing accessory innovation. The next quarterly update is scheduled for 27 October 2025.

Sales for the First 9 Months of Fiscal Year 2025-26

NACON reported consolidated sales of €124.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025‑26, a decline of 4.4 % compared with €129.9 million in the same period last year. Total game revenue rose 1.9 % to €25.9 million, driven by a 39.9 % increase in catalogue sales (€13.7 million) from new titles such as Hell is Us, Cricket 26 and Rennsport. Back‑catalogue sales fell 21.8 % to €12.2 million, largely due to a high base and market contraction. Accessories revenue dropped 29.1 % to €17.9 million, with the United States market still impacted by customs duties; the decline eased from 66 % in Q2 to 38 % in Q3. Other mobile and audio sales grew modestly by 4.6 %. Quarterly performance varied: Q1 saw a 2.9 % drop, Q2 grew 4.5 %, while Q3 declined 12.8 %. The company attributes the Q3 downturn to weaker accessories sales, despite strong catalogue momentum. NACON’s outlook for 2025‑26 remains conservative; it now expects activity comparable to the previous year, citing continued catalogue releases (e.g., Styx: Blades of Greed, GreedFall The Dying World) and anticipated accessory sales in Europe, including the Switch 2 and a new RIG R5 PRO HS headset. The company’s 16 studios, AA publishing arm, and peripheral design capabilities underpin its market position across 100 countries through 25 subsidiaries.

Nacon Announces Insolvency and Judicial Reorganisation Proceedings

Nacon, a subsidiary of the Bigben Group and listed on Euronext Paris, announced on 25 February 2026 that it has filed for insolvency and requested the initiation of judicial reorganisation proceedings before the Commercial Court of Lille Métropole. The filing follows a liquidity crisis triggered by Bigben Interactive’s failure to repay part of its bond loan after an unexpected refusal from its banking pool. Nacon stated that its available assets are insufficient to meet current liabilities, prompting a rapid financial restructuring with creditors to safeguard operations and preserve jobs. The court‑initiated procedure, known in France as “redressement judiciaire,” freezes existing debts for up to 18 months, allowing the company to present a viable continuation plan. The hearing is scheduled for early March, and until a decision is made, the company’s shares remain suspended on Euronext Paris. Employee representatives were notified of the insolvency filing on 24 February. Financially, Nacon reported IFRS revenue of €167.9 million for 2024/25 and an operating profit of €1.1 million, supported by a workforce of over 1,000 employees across 25 subsidiaries and a distribution network covering 100 countries. The company’s portfolio includes 16 development studios, AA publishing, and premium gaming peripherals, positioning it as a unified entity within the video‑game market. The reorganisation aims to renegotiate debt, protect staff, and secure a sustainable operational future under court supervision.
