Financial Results Q1 2024
PCF Group S.A. reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2024, highlighting a period of significant revenue growth and improved profitability. The primary thesis of the financial update is the successful execution of the group’s multi-project strategy, supported by both work-for-hire contracts and the development of original intellectual property. Geographically, the group maintains a strong international presence with major studios in Warsaw, Rzeszów, Montreal, and Newcastle, supported by a total workforce of 763 people as of March 31, 2024. Financial performance in Q1 2024 showed a substantial increase in revenue to 56.9 million PLN, compared to 34.9 million PLN in the same period the previous year. This growth was driven by the release of Bulletstorm VR and ongoing work on Project Maverick. EBITDA rose to 11.0 million PLN, a significant improvement over the 3.0 million PLN recorded in Q1 2023. Net profit also turned positive, reaching 11.0 million PLN compared to a net loss of 0.9 million PLN in the prior year. Management attributed this increased profitability to a high revenue base and a disciplined cost approach, despite increased spending on the publishing team. The production pipeline remains robust across several segments. In the AAA category, Projects Bifrost and Victoria are progressing according to schedule under a self-publishing model, both having received internal greenlights for 2025-2026 release windows. The VR segment, managed through InCuvo, continues development on Green Hell VR updates and the upcoming Project Bison. Additionally, work-for-hire projects remain stable, with Project Maverick reaching its target developer headcount and negotiations continuing with Square Enix regarding other collaborations. The balance sheet remains healthy, with 138.6 million PLN in cash and bonds and total assets valued at 505.1 million PLN.

Financial Results 1H23
This financial analysis details the performance of PCF Group (People Can Fly) for the first half of 2023, a period characterized by strategic expansion and significant capital raising despite a year-over-year decline in profitability. The group reported revenues of 68.7 million PLN for 1H23, down from 90.6 million PLN in 1H22. This decrease, alongside a drop in adjusted EBITDA from 29.7 million PLN to 4.0 million PLN and a net loss of 13.1 million PLN, is attributed to a high comparative base in 2022 following the termination of the Take-Two Interactive contract and the release of Green Hell VR. Current results were also impacted by increased operational scale, with the workforce growing 16% to 674 employees. The group’s portfolio remains robust, featuring eight projects across various stages of development. Key highlights include two work-for-hire projects for Microsoft (Maverick and Gemini) and three self-published titles (Dagger, Bifrost, and Victoria) slated for 2025-2026. Project Maverick is expected to contribute significantly to financial results starting in the third quarter of 2023. Additionally, the group is expanding into the VR market with Bulletstorm VR, scheduled for release in December 2023. A pivotal development in 1H23 was the successful completion of a secondary public offering (SPO), raising 235.3 million PLN to fund the group’s updated strategy. This process brought Krafton Inc. on as a strategic investor with a 10% stake following a 144.5 million PLN investment. The agreement grants Krafton specific rights, including right of first refusal for publishing certain upcoming titles. Geographically, the group maintains a strong international presence with studios across Europe and North America, positioning itself for long-term growth through a mix of work-for-hire and self-publishing models.

Financial Results 9M24
PCF Group S.A. presents its financial and operational results for the first nine months of 2024, focusing on the performance of its global development studios and its VR-specialized subsidiary, Incuvo. The report covers the group’s activities across its primary hubs in Europe and North America, tracking the evolution of its workforce and project portfolio through September 30, 2024. Financial performance for the 9M 2024 period shows total revenues of PLN 131.9 million, an increase from PLN 111.3 million in the same period of 2023. This growth was primarily driven by the recognition of revenues from the release of Bulletstorm VR in the first quarter and an increase in Work-for-Hire (WFH) revenues during the third quarter. However, profitability was negatively impacted by several factors, leading to a net loss of PLN 33.3 million compared to a loss of PLN 13.4 million in the previous year. Key detractors included a PLN 7.8 million write-down related to Project Red and revenue adjustments for Project Gemini following amended contract terms with Square Enix, which lowered margins. Adjusted EBITDA fell to negative PLN 1.7 million from a positive PLN 8.5 million in 9M 2023. Operational highlights focus on the VR portfolio managed by Incuvo. Green Hell VR continues to expand with a co-op mode scheduled for release on December 16, 2024, following its addition to Meta Quest+ in June. Development of Project Bison, an internal IP, is progressing through the vertical slice phase with a planned 2025 premiere. Conversely, active development on Bulletstorm VR concluded in September 2024 following the version 1.4 update. The group’s total headcount remained stable at 767 employees, with a significant concentration of developers in Warsaw and North American studios.

Wyniki Finansowe 1H25
This financial summary details the performance of PCF Group (People Can Fly) for the first half of 2025, reflecting a period of organizational restructuring and portfolio transition. The group operates across two continents with a total workforce of 756 people as of June 30, 2025, a slight decrease from 2024 levels. This team is distributed primarily across studios in Warsaw, North America, and various European satellite locations, following the merger of PCF Chicago into PCF US. Financial results for 1H 2025 show a significant recovery in profitability compared to the previous year. Revenue for the first half of 2025 reached 115.3 million PLN, a substantial increase over the 76.3 million PLN reported in 1H 2024. EBITDA improved from a loss of 11.3 million PLN in 1H 2024 to a positive 2.9 million PLN in 1H 2025. Despite these operational improvements, the group recorded a net loss of 21.3 million PLN for the period, though this represents a narrowing of the 33.3 million PLN net loss seen in the prior year. Key drivers for these results include the increased contribution of Project Echo, the inclusion of Project Delta in financial reporting, and accounting write-offs related to goodwill and licenses following the Chicago studio merger. The group’s product strategy highlights a shift in its VR segment managed by Incuvo. While Green Hell VR continues to receive updates, including a successful co-op mode launch, the upcoming title Tracked: Shoot to Survive (Project Bison) is scheduled for a Q4 2025 release. This title will mark the final VR game published by PCF Group as it refines its long-term development focus. Quarterly revenue trends indicate a stabilization in the 50-60 million PLN range per quarter throughout late 2024 and early 2025, supported by a mix of work-for-hire projects and internal IP development.
