The interim filing presents the fourth‑quarter 2025 financial results for a midcore‑casual gaming group, emphasizing a record‑setting revenue run and the successful execution of a transformation agenda that includes the integration of the Plarium acquisition and the rollout of a new district structure in early 2026. Revenue reached SEK 3,123 million, reflecting 108 % organic growth year‑on‑year and a 25 % increase on a constant‑currency basis, while adjusted EBITDA rose to SEK 717 million, delivering a 23 % margin that matches the full‑year figure. Unlevered free cash flow amounted to SEK 878 million, with a cash‑conversion rate of 66 % and a leverage ratio of five times EBITDA, underscoring robust liquidity and disciplined capital management. User‑acquisition spending accelerated, representing 38 % of quarterly revenue—up from 37 % in the prior quarter—and grew 76 % on a reported basis, driven by heightened investment in original studios, new casual titles, and the racing franchise. The direct‑to‑consumer channel expanded by 600 basis points to 32 % of total revenue, reflecting a strategic shift toward higher‑margin in‑app purchases. Across the fiscal year, the company posted a 9 % organic revenue increase, with word‑games, racing, and RAID franchises delivering the strongest quarter‑end performance. Operating cash flow for the quarter stood at SEK 840 million, while adjusted net income was SEK 1,390 million, translating to an adjusted EPS of SEK 11.33. The financial outcomes exceed guidance and position the firm to meet its medium‑term outlook, with a pre‑IPO study for PlaySimple concluded and the midcore transformation progressing as planned.
Modern Times Group delivered a record‑setting performance for the fourth quarter of 2025, underscoring the company’s momentum in the digital entertainment sector. Organic revenue expanded by 8 percent, which translates to a 108 percent increase when measured in constant‑currency terms, and net sales reached SEK 3.1 billion. These figures reflect the strength of the group’s core portfolio and its ability to generate growth despite a volatile macro‑economic environment. A pivotal element of the results was the integration of Plarium, which was completed on 12 February 2025 and consolidated from 31 January. The acquisition contributed SEK 5,384 million in sales for the quarter and produced SEK 495 million of income before tax, after accounting for SEK 786 million of purchase‑price amortisation. When the acquisition is modelled as if it had been in place from the start of the year, total sales for 2025 would have risen to SEK 12,137 million, with pre‑tax income of SEK 398 million, albeit offset by SEK 1,269 million of amortisation. The combined impact of robust organic growth and the strategic addition of Plarium positions Modern Times Group as a leading player in the global gaming market. The financial outcomes demonstrate that the company’s acquisition strategy is delivering immediate scale and profitability, while its underlying business continues to expand at a pace that exceeds prior expectations. This performance suggests a durable growth trajectory for the remainder of the fiscal year and beyond.
Stillfront Group’s performance throughout 2025 reflects a strategic pivot toward profitability and operational efficiency over aggressive revenue growth. Total net revenue for the year reached SEK 5,710 million, representing a 15.3% year-over-year decline and a 10.2% organic contraction. This downturn was most pronounced in the fourth quarter, where North American revenue plummeted by 31% as the company intentionally reduced marketing spend and divested the Narrative franchise. Despite these top-line pressures, the adjusted EBITDAC margin expanded to 27%, bolstered by a significant shift toward direct-to-consumer bookings, which now represent 45% of the total. The financial landscape was heavily influenced by non-cash impairments totaling SEK 2,258 million in the final quarter, primarily targeting goodwill and intangible assets. These charges contributed to a full-year net loss of SEK 2,398 million, though this marked a substantial improvement over the previous year’s losses. Total assets decreased to SEK 11,024 million by year-end, reflecting a leaner balance sheet. Geographically, performance remained bifurcated; while North America and Europe struggled with organic declines, the MENA & APAC region demonstrated resilience with 6.6% organic growth driven by core franchises such as Jawaker. Operational stability remains a priority as the company transitions to a consolidated reporting structure for 2026. With a monthly active user base of approximately 35 million, the focus has shifted toward sustaining "Key Franchises" that generate over SEK 200 million in annual bookings. Financial health is supported by a free cash flow of SEK 290 million in the fourth quarter, which facilitated debt reduction. The year concluded with a net debt of SEK 3,747 million and an adjusted leverage ratio of 2.02x, positioning the group just above its long-term financial target of 2.0x.
The presentation delivers a quarterly performance update and revised full‑year outlook for a mid‑core and casual gaming group, emphasizing the impact of organic growth and the recent integration of Plarium. In Q3 2025 the company recorded SEK 2.987 billion in net sales, a 15 % year‑over‑year organic increase and a 126 % rise in constant‑currency revenue driven largely by the Plarium consolidation. Adjusted EBITDA reached SEK 675 million, translating to a 23 % margin, while unlevered EBITDA margin stood at 60 % and free cash flow amounted to SEK 404 million, supporting a 60 % cash‑conversion rate. User‑acquisition spend rose sharply, with original studios increasing spend by 37 % and total group spend climbing 120 % on a constant‑currency basis, now representing roughly 37 % of revenue. Core metrics such as ARPDAU improved quarter‑over‑quarter, notably on the Snowprint title, while daily active users remained broadly flat after accounting for the Kongregate divestment and Plarium acquisition. The franchise portfolio showed double‑digit growth in PlaySimple, Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus, and a strong performance from RAID: Shadows Legends anchored by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IP. Based on these results the company raised its FY 2025 guidance, targeting 7‑9 % organic revenue growth and total revenue of SEK 11.4‑11.7 billion, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 21‑24 %. The outlook underscores confidence in continued scaling of live‑ops, new‑title launches and disciplined investment in user acquisition.
