ReportUniversal Registration Document: 2019/2020
NACON, an integrated video game company, established itself as an autonomous entity following its 2019 spin-off from Bigben Interactive and a successful March 2020 IPO on Euronext Paris. The company’s primary business thesis centers on a hybrid model that combines the development and publishing of AA video games with the manufacturing of premium gaming accessories. By vertically integrating its operations through the acquisition of specialized development studios and leveraging in-house R&D for hardware, NACON aims to capture greater value across the gaming value chain while differentiating itself from both AAA blockbusters and mobile-focused developers. The 2019/2020 fiscal year demonstrated strong financial performance, with revenue reaching €129.4 million—a 14.4% increase driven largely by a 40.6% surge in video game sales and a strategic shift toward digital distribution. The company’s IPO generated €109 million in net proceeds, resulting in a robust net cash position of €42.8 million and providing the necessary capital to fund its "NACON 2023" strategic plan. Key operational highlights include the acquisition of eight development studios, the expansion of its workforce to 512 employees, and the maintenance of a high-level partnership with Sony for its premium controller lines. Risk management remains a central focus, with the company categorizing threats such as development delays, key personnel retention, and supply chain disruptions as material. To mitigate these, NACON employs rigorous project management, diversified sourcing, and strict quality control processes. While the COVID-19 pandemic introduced new health and safety challenges and temporary supply chain volatility, the firm’s digital-first strategy and diversified intellectual property portfolio have provided resilience. Governed by a board compliant with the Middlenext Code, NACON continues to prioritize reinvestment of earnings into content creation and studio acquisitions to achieve its target of a 20% recurring operating margin by 2022/23.
Stillfront
ReportInvitation to Subscribe for Shares in Stillfront Group AB
Stillfront Group AB is conducting a rights issue to raise approximately 1.989 billion SEK, offering existing shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for three new shares for every ten held at a price of 17 SEK per share. The primary objective of this capital raise is to repay debt incurred from the recent acquisition of 6waves and to strengthen the company’s balance sheet to support its ongoing growth strategy. This offering, which runs from March 2 to March 16, 2022, will result in a dilution effect of approximately 23.1% for shareholders who choose not to participate. As a global developer and publisher of free-to-play online games, Stillfront has pursued an aggressive expansion strategy, growing its portfolio to 22 studios and 72 subsidiaries. Between 2019 and 2021, the company experienced significant financial growth, with net sales rising from 1,967 MSEK to 5,455 MSEK. However, this rapid expansion has increased the company’s net debt to 3,649 MSEK, necessitating a disciplined approach to capital management. The company does not currently plan to pay dividends for the 2021–2023 period, prioritizing the reinvestment of profits into further acquisitions and organic development. The company faces a complex risk profile inherent to the mobile gaming industry and its decentralized corporate structure. Revenue is heavily concentrated in mobile platforms like Google Play and the App Store, which account for 77% of total sales, creating a dependency on third-party distribution. Furthermore, the business is subject to evolving regulatory scrutiny regarding data privacy, loot box mechanics, and the classification of virtual currencies. Operational risks are compounded by the challenges of integrating acquired studios, retaining key talent, and managing currency fluctuations across international markets. Despite these vulnerabilities, the company maintains a robust liquidity position and continues to leverage its diversified studio portfolio to drive long-term growth.

ReportInformation on the State of Application of Principles Contained in the Best Practices for GPW Listed Companies 2021: Poland
PCF Group S.A. maintains a selective approach to the Best Practices for GPW Listed Companies 2021, prioritizing operational agility and merit-based recruitment over the formalization of specific governance structures. The company’s primary thesis centers on the belief that professional qualifications and industry-specific expertise remain the most effective drivers of performance, leading to the non-application of 14 principles related to formal ESG strategies and diversity policies for management and supervisory bodies. While these gaps exist, the company expresses openness to future strategic revisions as its organizational needs evolve. Regarding corporate governance and internal oversight, the company demonstrates a commitment to transparency and regulatory alignment, though it has historically operated with lean administrative structures. Significant progress has been made to address previous deficiencies, most notably the appointment of an internal auditor as of January 1, 2023. Efforts are currently underway to formalize internal control systems and enhance the depth of supervisory reporting, ensuring that future annual disclosures provide more comprehensive assessments of risk management and governance frameworks. The company remains fully compliant with the majority of the 2021 standards, particularly those concerning shareholder rights, conflict of interest mitigation, and remuneration transparency. Although formal incentive programs are currently absent, the company has established a clear commitment to adhere to relevant guidelines should such schemes be introduced. By relying on statutory requirements to govern transaction-related activities, the firm ensures consistent regulatory compliance while maintaining a streamlined internal policy environment. This approach reflects a broader strategy of balancing essential corporate governance obligations with the operational realities of a specialized entity within the Polish gaming sector.
