Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023
The 2023 fiscal year represented a strategic "reset" for tinyBuild, characterized by a transition from aggressive acquisition-led growth to a leaner, internal-production model.
- TinyBuild reported a 29% revenue decline to $44.7 million in 2023, resulting in a $62.8 million comprehensive loss driven by $48.1 million in asset impairments and studio closures.
- To address a year-end cash low of $2.5 million, the company secured $12.3 million in early 2024 funding, which included an investment from Atari and increased CEO Alex Nichiporchik’s ownership to 57.9%.
- The company is shifting from an acquisition-led strategy to a leaner internal-production model, focusing on 'games as a service' and high-potential emergent gameplay titles.
Shareholder Circular
TinyBuild, Inc. is undertaking a critical fundraising initiative to raise approximately $14.16 million (£10.3 million) to address a severe liquidity crisis.
- TinyBuild faces a critical liquidity crisis and potential Chapter 11 insolvency if it fails to secure $14.16 million (£10.3 million) in new capital by January 2024.
- The fundraising strategy includes a share issuance priced at 5 pence, a $2 million private placement from Atari, and an open offer for existing stockholders.
- CEO Alex Nichiporchik is underwriting up to $10 million of the raise, a move that could increase his ownership stake from 37.8% to 59.1% and requires a regulatory 'whitewash' waiver.
