Summary

11 bit studios S.A. reported a record‑breaking first quarter of 2020, with revenue surpassing PLN 30.52 million and EBITDA reaching PLN 19.61 million, both up 114.3% and 168.3% year‑on‑year respectively. Net profit climbed nearly PLN 14.51 million, a 226.9% increase, though non‑cash provisions related to the 2017–2019 Incentive Scheme reduced the figure by more than PLN 2.05 million; the company elected to defer IP Box tax relief until the annual return. The surge was driven largely by the launch of Frostpunk’s second paid DLC, “The Last Autumn,” on 21 January 2020, which not only boosted DLC sales but also lifted demand for the base game. Combined revenue from Frostpunk and its DLCs exceeded PLN 100 million between April 2018 and March 2020, surpassing the cumulative sales of This War of Mine. Publishing titles Moonlighter and Children of Morta contributed 24% of total revenue in the quarter. Operating cash flow exceeded PLN 24.3 million, allowing total financial assets to cross the PLN 100 million threshold for the first time. The company plans to expand its workforce from 140 to 190–200 employees by year‑end, focusing on new projects under development (Projekt 8, 9, and 10) and a growing publishing portfolio that now includes three promising titles. Operations continue amid COVID‑19 restrictions, with the company relocating to a new Warsaw office that supports its scaling ambitions. The report covers Poland‑based activities for Q1 2020, highlighting strong performance across development and publishing segments.
