Annual and Sustainability Report 2024

Modern Times Group (MTG) concluded the 2024 fiscal year as a focused European mobile gaming entity, reporting net sales of SEK 6,015 million, representing a 3% currency-adjusted growth. Despite achieving an adjusted EBITDA of SEK 1,666 million, the group recorded a net loss of SEK 210 million. The company maintains a strong liquidity position with SEK 3,543 million in cash and equivalents and no utilized external debt, supported by a disciplined capital allocation strategy that includes active share buybacks and a commitment to long-term, evergreen game franchises.

The company’s strategic trajectory is defined by its "Gaming Village" model, which emphasizes organic growth and accretive M&A to bolster its portfolio of studios, including InnoGames, Hutch, and Ninja Kiwi. A transformative development in this period was the acquisition of Plarium Global Ltd, finalized in early 2025, which significantly scales the group’s mid-core gaming capabilities and adds the flagship title *RAID: Shadow Legends* to its offerings. This expansion is supported by the "Flow Platform," a centralized infrastructure designed to share business intelligence and user acquisition tools across the group’s subsidiaries.

Sustainability and governance remain central to the company’s operational framework. In 2024, MTG transitioned its reporting to align with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). While this methodological shift resulted in a reported 118.2% increase in location-based greenhouse gas emissions due to expanded accounting scopes, the company has committed to a 50% reduction in value chain emissions by 2032. Furthermore, the group maintains a robust governance structure, reporting no incidents of corruption or bribery, and continues to prioritize consumer safety through transparent odds disclosure and data protection measures. The board remains focused on long-term shareholder value, integrating ESG metrics into executive incentive schemes while maintaining a stable, low-leverage financial foundation.
