FY23 Financial Results

22 pages2,843 words

Summary

The FY23 financial results show a contraction in revenue to £104.6 million, an 8 % decline from the previous year, driven largely by lower sales of the F1® Manager series. Adjusted EBITDA swung from a £6.7 million profit in FY22 to a £4.6 million loss, while the IFRS operating loss widened to £26.6 million. Non‑cash intangible charges of £28.7 million—primarily the closure of Foundry (£13.7 m) and a £15 million impairment on the F1® Manager franchise—were key contributors to the loss. Cash reserves fell from £38.7 million to £28.3 million, reflecting higher operating expenses and capitalised development costs. The portfolio remains dominated by legacy titles, with 72 % of revenue generated from pre‑FY23 releases such as Jurassic World Evolution 2. New initiatives include the acquisition of Complex Games in November 2022 and the planned launch of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, a real‑time strategy title slated for November 2023. The company has refocused on Creative Management Simulation games, closing Foundry and reallocating resources to two new CMS projects. Leadership reviews aim to improve return on investment. For FY24, market consensus expects revenue of £108 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss of £9 million. The company anticipates that the new RTS release, alongside continued support for existing titles and undisclosed revenue streams, will offset the F1® Manager shortfall. The strategy shift toward core CMS titles and tighter cost management underpins confidence in returning to profitable performance over the medium term.

Console/PC Games Investment Report 2024

Investment activity within the console and PC gaming sectors throughout 2023 reveals a strategic focus on early-stage developers, artificial intelligence integration, and blockchain-enabled platforms. Venture capital firms and strategic corporate investors prioritized studios capable of delivering high-fidelity experiences or innovative user-generated content tools. Andreessen Horowitz emerged as a leading contributor, deploying $82 million across various rounds, highlighted by a $55 million Series A investment in The Believer Company. This trend underscores a broader industry movement toward backing unproven but high-potential studios during their foundational stages. The funding landscape also highlights the significant role of strategic industry players like KRAFTON and specialized funds such as Makers Fund. KRAFTON’s involvement included a notable $30.7 million post-IPO equity injection into People Can Fly, while Makers Fund distributed $22.5 million across multiple early-stage ventures including Noodle Cat Games and World Makers. These investments suggest a dual interest in established mid-tier developers and lean, agile startups focusing on niche PC markets. Blockchain and Web3 gaming remained a resilient segment for capital allocation, particularly through investors like Merit Circle and Polygon. These firms concentrated on seed-stage rounds for developers such as Farcana, which secured $10 million, and Delabs Games. The data indicates that while the broader market faced economic headwinds, specialized sectors involving AI-driven development and decentralized gaming infrastructure continued to attract tens of millions of dollars in capital. Overall, the 2023 investment cycle was defined by a preference for Series A and Seed rounds, signaling a long-term bet on the next generation of console and PC intellectual property.

Where Are Steam, Xbox and PlayStation's Players Located?

This analysis examines the geographic distribution of players across Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms to identify regional market strengths and emerging trends. By aggregating data from public player profiles, store ratings, and review counts, the research provides a comprehensive look at the global footprint of the primary PC and console ecosystems. The findings reveal distinct regional identities for each platform. PlayStation exhibits a strong presence in the United States and Europe, with notable per-capita engagement in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. A significant finding is the rise of the Middle East, specifically Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which account for nearly 6% of PlayStation’s player base. Additionally, the data suggests a growing gray market for PlayStation hardware in mainland China, often reflected through Hong Kong profiles. In contrast, the Xbox ecosystem is heavily concentrated in the Anglosphere, with the United States and United Kingdom representing nearly half of all store ratings. However, Xbox shows relative strength in Latin America, specifically Brazil and Mexico, where its penetration percentages outperform those of PlayStation. Conversely, Xbox maintains a minimal footprint in Japan, ranking significantly lower than its competitors. Steam remains the most international platform, characterized by a less US-centric curve. The United States accounts for only 13.7% of profiles, while China and Russia represent 12.3% and 9.7% respectively. The analysis also highlights Southeast Asia—particularly the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand—as a burgeoning region for PC content consumption. These insights serve as critical business intelligence for developers and publishers regarding localization priorities and marketing strategies across the global gaming landscape.

Console/PC Games Investment Report September 2024

The analysis presents a comprehensive review of investment and merger‑and‑acquisition activity within the console and PC video‑game sector for the 2023 fiscal year, positioning 2023 as an outlier driven primarily by Microsoft’s $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Total deal value reached $69.5 billion across 200 transactions, a 612 % increase in value yet a 25 % decline in transaction count compared with 2022, and twice the combined value of the preceding five‑year period (2018‑2022). Investment volume fell to $627.8 million across 161 deals, while M&A volume surged to $68.8 billion in 39 deals, accounting for more than 99 % of North American M&A value. IPO activity contracted sharply, with six offerings generating $46 million in market capitalisation, down 85 % from the prior year. Geographically, North America and Europe dominated private investment, contributing $184.7 million (29 % of volume) and $358.8 million (57 % of volume) respectively, while Australia and New Zealand saw limited activity aside from a government grant program. Investors favored micro‑studios (median six employees), whereas acquirers targeted slightly larger teams (median 39 employees). Blockchain‑related deals comprised 15 % of investment value but only 13 % of transaction count, highlighted by Mythic Protocol’s $6.5 million seed round. Methodologically, the review counts only closed transactions, excluding announced deals, and treats SPAC proceeds as the investment amount rather than post‑transaction valuation. Data are drawn from a proprietary, sixteen‑year‑old database that tracks Western‑focused game‑industry deals across development, publishing, and technology, ensuring consistency and comparability across quarters. The findings underscore a market concentrated around a few mega‑deals, with modest activity elsewhere and a clear shift toward larger, strategic acquisitions.

Deep Dive: How Everspace 2 Made Its Space Opera a PC Hit

Everspace 2 serves as a primary case study for successful iterative development and market positioning within the PC and console sectors. Developed by Rockfish Games, the title reached 300,000 Steam units sold following its 1.0 release in April 2023. The sequel significantly outperformed its predecessor, achieving seven times the launch-week player count and peaking at nearly 10,000 concurrent users. Success is attributed to the developer’s twenty-year history in the space combat genre, a strategic "always-on" demo policy that managed player expectations, and a high-value proposition that allowed for a $50 price point without significant community backlash. Notably, the studio reported that inclusion in PC Game Pass did not negatively impact Steam sales. Broader industry analysis highlights a significant shift in the hardware landscape as Sony’s PlayStation 5 supply stabilized. Sony shipped a record 6.3 million units in the first quarter of 2023, bringing the total to 38.3 million. While some analysts expressed concern over a 3.5% dip in first-party software unit sales, overall platform revenue grew by 11%, suggesting a transition toward live-service monetization and higher per-user spending. Furthermore, the increasing frequency of poor-quality PC ports for major AAA titles may be driving consumers toward the PlayStation 5 as a more reliable ecosystem for high-end gaming. The scope of this analysis covers the global PC and console markets during the first half of 2023, utilizing internal sales data from Rockfish Games, Steam backend metrics, and Sony’s quarterly financial reports. Additional findings note the profitability of low-budget "trash" games on Steam, which can net significant margins despite low quality, and the continued evolution of user-generated content platforms, exemplified by major influencers collaborating on new titles within Fortnite’s Creative ecosystem.

Thunderful Group’s interim report for the first quarter of 2024 details a period of significant financial decline and aggressive corporate restructuring. Net revenue fell 27.7 percent to 391.7 MSEK, while the group recorded an operating loss (EBIT) of 184.4 MSEK, a sharp reversal from the 19.2 MSEK profit reported in the same period the previous year. This downturn was driven by a 35.5 percent revenue drop in the Games segment and a 25.7 percent decrease in Distribution, largely due to weaker market demand for Nintendo Switch products and the underperformance of the internal title SteamWorld Build. To address these challenges, the group initiated a restructuring program aimed at annual cost savings of 90–110 MSEK. This process involved a 72.4 MSEK write-down of capitalized development costs following the cancellation or divestment of twelve game projects. Strategic shifts include the divestment of the German publishing subsidiary Headup GmbH and the sale of Nordic Game Supply’s assets to reduce net debt. Despite these pressures, the group successfully extended its Nintendo distribution agreement for the Nordics and Baltics through March 2026 and reported 13.9 percent growth in its Amo Toys division. The report covers the group’s global operations with a focus on European and Nordic markets for the period of January to March 2024. Financial data indicates a strained liquidity position, with cash and credit facilities dropping to 130.9 MSEK from 329.3 MSEK year-over-year. Management secured a bank waiver conditional on asset divestments and maintains that current funds are sufficient for continued operations. The overarching strategy moving forward emphasizes a simplified games portfolio, more rigorous project validation, and a balanced risk profile across internal and external development.
