See it on page 13Thunderful Group underwent a profound structural transformation throughout 2024, shifting its strategic focus toward external publishing and core internal development while divesting its distribution segment and several subsidiaries, including Headup and Jumpship. This transition resulted in a significant decline in financial performance, with annual net revenue falling 23.8% to 292.8 MSEK and Q4 revenue dropping 27.6% to 77.4 MSEK. The fiscal year was defined by a substantial operating loss of 917.3 MSEK, primarily driven by 848 MSEK in depreciation and asset write-downs. These impairments reflect the aggressive cleanup of the balance sheet as the organization streamlined its workforce to 297 employees and moved away from non-core business units.
Despite the heavy accounting losses and a deterioration of the adjusted EBITDA margin to -14.1%, the group successfully stabilized its financial position by reducing interest-bearing net debt from 402.1 MSEK to -7.7 MSEK. This improvement in liquidity was largely achieved through a drastic reduction in core working capital and the settlement of liabilities. Furthermore, a comprehensive cost-savings program is expected to generate between 80 and 90 MSEK in annual savings, positioning the company for a return to positive cash flow in the coming year.
The outlook for 2025 remains optimistic, supported by a robust release pipeline consisting of twelve ongoing development projects. This portfolio includes eight internally developed titles, such as Reignbreaker and Lost in Random: The Eternal Die. By concentrating resources on a leaner operational model and a high-potential publishing slate, the group aims to recover from the volatility of its restructuring phase and establish a more sustainable, profitable trajectory within the global gaming market.
