Nacon reported a 14.4 % increase in annual sales, reaching €129.4 million for the 2019/20 fiscal year, in line with its IPO guidance of €127–133 million. Total revenue rose from €113.1 million in 2018/19, driven largely by a 40.6 % jump in game sales to €70.7 million, while accessory revenue fell 4.8 % to €52.6 million and other categories declined 20.1 %. Digital game sales surged, accounting for 69 % of game revenue versus 41 % the previous year, a trend amplified by lockdown‑induced consumer behaviour. The fourth quarter saw a 15.5 % drop in overall sales, largely due to a product‑base effect on accessories and temporary store closures from the COVID‑19 crisis, though game sales remained robust.

Operating performance improved, with a current operating margin target of 16 % raised above expectations thanks to higher digital margins. Cash reserves stood at €100 million following a successful IPO that raised €109 million in March 2020, ensuring liquidity for the upcoming fiscal year. Nacon maintains its “NACON 2023” plan, targeting €180–200 million in sales and a margin above 20 % for FY 2022/23. The company projects continued momentum in Q1 2020/21, with new game releases and expanded headset distribution through a partnership with Poly (Plantronics Inc.). Operations have largely shifted to telework, and procurement has returned to normal levels. The company’s 16 subsidiaries operate across 100 countries, supporting a workforce of nearly 450 employees.

Nacon reported FY 2020/21 sales of €177.9 million, a 37.5 % increase over the previous fiscal year and surpassing the revised target of €160–170 million. Gaming revenue remained flat at €69.1 million, while accessories sales surged to €103.2 million, up 96.1 %. The accessories boom was driven by premium RIG® headsets, licensed controllers, and new Xbox Series X|S accessories launched late in the year. Back‑catalogue game sales tripled to €31 million, contributing high margins and offsetting a slight decline in overall game sales. Digital game sales rose to 75 % of Q4 revenue, up from 70 % the prior year.

Quarterly performance highlighted a strong fourth quarter: €42.6 million in sales, a 68.7 % increase over Q4 2019/20, with gaming and accessories both outperforming. The company’s strategy, outlined during its March 2020 IPO, included acquisitions of Neopica, Passtech Games, and BigAnt Studios, expansion into the U.S. market with RIG® accessories, and a licensing agreement with Microsoft for Xbox Series X|S. These moves are expected to lift sales and operating margins in FY 2022/23 and 2023/24.

Nacon confirmed a 18 % operating income rate for FY 2020/21 and plans to revise its 2023 guidance upward. The company operates globally, with a distribution network in 100 countries and over 510 employees across 17 subsidiaries.

Nacon reported a robust FY 2020/21 performance, with sales rising 37.4 % to €177.8 million and current operating income increasing 43.8 % to €32.5 million, representing 18.3 % of sales. Gross margin improved to 52.6 % from 61.1 %, while EBITDA grew 24.7 % to €60.3 million (33.9 % of sales). Net profit reached €18.2 million, up 19.6 %, after accounting for a €5.1 million bonus‑share expense, a €1.5 million financial charge and €7.7 million in tax. Operating cash flow surged 146 % to €55.7 million, sufficient to cover CAPEX of €56.4 million and bank repayments, leaving cash and equivalents at €96.7 million.

The company attributes growth to premium accessories, successful U.S. expansion, and a tripling of back‑catalogue sales. Forecasts for FY 2021/22 have been raised to €180–200 million in sales with a 20 % operating margin, driven by digital catalogues and new titles such as RIMS Racing and Blood Bowl 3. For FY 2022/23, sales targets are further increased to €230–260 million, maintaining a margin above 20 %, supported by studio acquisitions and high‑profile releases like The Lord of the Rings.

Nacon, listed on Euronext Paris (ISIN FR0013482791), operates through 18 subsidiaries and a distribution network covering 100 countries, employing over 600 staff. The board has opted to retain earnings for reinvestment rather than distribute a dividend in FY 2020/21.

Nacon reported Q3 2020/21 sales of €48.7 million, a 20.3 % increase over the same period in 2019/20, driven primarily by a surge in gaming accessories and back‑catalogue sales. Accessories grew 58.7 % to €32.5 million, largely due to the RIG® headset line and licensed controller sales, while back‑catalogue revenue jumped 216 % to €6.9 million, reflecting high‑margin older titles. Game sales fell 19.7 % to €13.8 million, with only two new releases (Monster Truck® and Handball 21) and a digital sales share of 74.4 %. Other revenue, mainly mobile and audio, declined 16.3 % to €2.3 million.

Cumulative sales for the first nine months rose 29.9 % to €135.3 million, with accessories contributing a 90.5 % increase and back‑catalogue sales up 24.9 million versus €7.5 million in the prior year. The company projects Q4 growth, citing upcoming releases such as Werewolf® : The Apocalypse – Earthblood and new console versions of Monster Truck®, Tennis World Tour 2, and Hunting Simulator 2. Digital sales, back‑catalogue momentum, and a robust order book for RIG® headphones are expected to sustain the upward trajectory.

Nacon confirms its annual target of €160–170 million in sales with an 18 % operating margin, and it has announced the acquisition of Australian studio Big Ant to strengthen its sports‑game portfolio. No dividend will be paid in 2020/21, as funds are earmarked for studio acquisitions and development. The company maintains a 2023 plan targeting €180–200 million in sales with an operating margin above 20 % for 2022/23.

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020 – NACON SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020 SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020 TABLE OF CONTENTS 2 1. STATEMENT BY THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE 3 2.

Nacon reports a strong first‑half performance for fiscal year 2020/21, with sales rising 35.9 % to €86.6 million and gross margin improving from 39.2 % to 45.3 %. Current operating income (COI) increased by 47.3 % to €15.7 million, representing 18.2 % of sales and meeting the company’s annual COI target of 18 %. Net profit for the period reached €9.6 million, up 46.7 % from €6.5 million in the prior year’s first half, after accounting for €1.8 million in bonus‑share expenses and €0.8 million in net financial costs.

Operating cash flow surged to €34.1 million, enabling the group to self‑finance €25.9 million of capital expenditure and generate an €8.2 million free cash flow. Net cash at 30 September stood at €50.7 million, up from €42.8 million in March 2020, despite a €5 million increase in CAPEX and loan repayments.

The growth is attributed to momentum in gaming accessories—particularly premium headsets and official PlayStation 4 controllers—and a robust back‑catalogue of games. Nacon projects continued sales acceleration in the second half, driven by dual‑generation console support (PS 4/5, Xbox One/Xbox Series), digital sales expansion, and releases of next‑gen titles such as WRC 9 and Tennis World Tour 2. Consequently, the company has revised its FY 2020/21 sales target upward to €160–170 million and maintains an 18 % COI goal. For FY 2022/23, Nacon targets sales of €180–200 million with a COI exceeding 20 %. The data derive from audited consolidated IFRS statements covering April–September 2020, with comparative figures adjusted for the 2019 acquisition of Bigben Interactive’s gaming assets.

Nacon reported a 24.5 % rise in first‑quarter sales for FY 2020/21, reaching €38.0 million against €30.5 million in the same period a year earlier, confirming its annual financial targets. The growth was driven primarily by accessories and digital game sales. Accessories surged 134.9 % to €22.5 million, propelled by the launch of the RIG premium headset line and a new U.S. subsidiary. Digital game sales, which accounted for 80.7 % of total game revenue, offset a decline in new releases; back‑catalogue sales jumped 340 % to €10.8 million, matching the entire previous year’s back‑catalogue volume.

Game sales fell to €14.5 million from €20.0 million due to a strong comparison base of major titles released in the prior fiscal year, but the accelerated digital channel and successful releases such as Hunting Simulator 2 and Pro Cycling Manager/Tour de France 2020 mitigated the impact. Other revenue categories remained flat.

Geographically, Nacon operates through 16 subsidiaries and a distribution network spanning 100 countries, with recent expansion into the United States. The company’s outlook for Q2 and the remainder of FY 2020/21 remains positive, citing upcoming releases (WRC 9, Tennis World Tour 2, Monster Truck Championship), continued digital momentum, and a new partnership with Microsoft for console‑compatible controllers. Nacon projects FY 2020/21 sales between €140–€150 million and a 18 % operating margin, while maintaining its 2023 plan targets of €180–€200 million sales and over 20 % margin for FY 2022/23.

Nacon’s audited consolidated results for the fiscal year ending 31 March 2022 show sales of €155.9 million, a decline of 12.3 % from the previous year’s €177.8 million, driven largely by a 21.1 % drop in the Games segment after postponing several releases to FY 2022‑23. The Accessories segment, however, remained resilient amid global console shortages, recording €96.6 million in sales (down 6.3 %) and contributing a higher proportion of revenue (62 % versus 58 % previously). Gross margin fell to €77.8 million (49.9 % of sales) from €93.5 million (52.6 %) due to the altered product mix, though price increases offset rising shipping and raw‑material costs. EBITDA contracted 26 % to €44.6 million (28.6 % of sales), and current operating income dropped 41.6 % to €19.0 million (12.2 % of sales). Net profit fell 45.3 % to €10.0 million (6.4 % of sales).

The balance sheet reflects significant investment activity: shareholders’ equity rose to €228.4 million, new bank debt of €52.5 million was issued at sub‑1 % interest, and net debt remained low at €10.4 million. Working capital increased by €8.7 million due to higher inventories, while operating cash flow reached €32.4 million and intangible CAPEX totaled €57.4 million. Over the past two years, Nacon has invested over €100 million in game development and acquired nine studios, expanding its pipeline to 46 titles from 33.

Management projects a sharp rebound in FY 2022‑23, targeting sales above €250 million and a current operating margin exceeding €50 million, supported by new releases such as Vampire: The Masquerade®‑Swansong and The Lord of the Rings Gollum. The company will continue external growth through studio acquisitions, notably Midgar Studio and Daedalic Entertainment.

Nacon reported FY 2021/22 sales of €155.9 million, a 12.3 % decline from the previous year’s €177.8 million. The drop was driven mainly by a 25.6 % fall in fourth‑quarter sales to €31.7 million, largely due to postponed game releases such as Vampire: The Masquerade® – Swansong. Game sales for the year fell 21.2 % to €54.4 million, while accessories declined 6.3 % to €96.6 million; mobile and audio sales also contracted by 13.7 %. The back‑catalogue segment performed modestly better, up 12.7 % to €6.9 million.

Quarterly performance showed a sharp decline in Q1 (€33.7 M) and Q2 (€39.3 M), a modest rebound in Q3 (€51.2 M, +5.2 %), and a significant drop in Q4 (€31.7 M). The company’s operating income for the year is projected between €17 million and €19 million, reflecting the weaker Q4 results.

Looking ahead to FY 2022/23, Nacon anticipates a strong rebound driven by a robust game pipeline—including titles such as Vampire: The Masquerade® – Swansong, Zorro The Chronicles, and Tour de France 2022—and expects sales between €250 million and €300 million with an operating margin above 20 %. The strategy includes further external growth through acquisitions of Midgar Studio and Daedalic Entertainment to enhance internal development capabilities.

The figures cover global operations across 20 subsidiaries, with a workforce of over 700 employees and distribution in more than 100 countries. The data are presented under IFRS, with non‑audited figures for the fourth quarter and a note that mobile and audio sales are included in the “Others” category.

The briefing outlines Daemon Machina’s third‑quarter performance for the fiscal year ending March 2026, highlighting a 140.5 % jump in net sales to ¥29,121 million driven by the launch of three core titles—Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, and Browser Sangokushi Ten—and robust amusement‑machine sales. Operating profit rose modestly to ¥1,776 million (6.1 % YoY) as high development costs offset gains; ordinary profit and owners’ attributable profit grew faster, largely due to foreign‑exchange gains. Segment analysis shows Digital Contents Business sales at ¥9,985 million (169.2 % YoY) and Amusement Business at ¥7,435 million (125.1 % YoY), while Audio & Visual Business declined by 88.7 %. The company’s balance sheet strengthened, with total assets increasing to ¥35,669 million and net assets rising by ¥1,104 million.

Strategic initiatives include scheduled releases of Rune Factory on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in February 2026, a postponed launch of The Thousand Musketeers: Rhodoknight to June 2026, and ongoing promotion of new online titles. The amusement segment continues to expand overseas, with Pokémon‑branded machines generating significant revenue growth.

Full‑year forecasts remain unchanged: net sales projected at ¥35,000 million (125.2 % YoY), operating profit at ¥2,000 million (110 % YoY), and owners’ attributable profit at ¥1,400 million (171 % YoY). Dividend guidance is raised to ¥12 per share. The company acknowledges potential uncertainties that could affect future performance.

Nacon reported a rebound in Q3 2021/22, with sales rising 5.2 % to €51.2 million after two quarters of decline driven by a high comparison base from lockdown‑related demand spikes. The growth was led by the games catalogue, which generated €14.3 million (+3.4 %) and a strong back‑catalogue contribution of €5.5 million, while accessories grew 7.4 % to €34.9 million thanks to the launch of the Revolution X Pro Controller, though global console shortages limited further upside. Other segments, including mobile and audio sales, contracted by 14.4 % to €2.0 million.

Cumulative sales for the first nine months fell 8.2 % to €124.2 million, with games down 10.9 % and accessories down 6.4 %. Nacon confirmed its FY 2021/22 targets of €150–180 million in sales and an operating income near €20 million. For FY 2022/23, the company projects a robust publishing pipeline of over 15 titles—including high‑profile releases such as Vampire: The Masquerade® – Swansong—and anticipates sales of €250–300 million with an operating margin above 20 %. The strategy includes selective acquisitions to strengthen the catalogue and position Nacon as a leading player in the global video‑game market. The outlook is based on continued demand for both new releases and established titles, with accessories sales expected to benefit from ongoing headset and controller launches across major console platforms.

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020 – NACON SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021 SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021 TABLE OF CONTENTS 2 1> STATEMENT BY THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE .3 2> BUSINESS REPORT 4 2.1 Key events in the first half of 2021/22 ...

Nacon released audited consolidated results for the first half of fiscal year 2021/22, reporting sales of €73.0 million, a 15.7 % decline from the comparable period in 2020/21. Gross margin fell to €38.0 million (52.1 % of sales) and EBITDA dropped 29.7 % to €21.4 million (29.3 % of sales). Current operating income fell 46.3 % to €8.4 million, representing 11.6 % of sales, while net profit contracted 60.4 % to €3.8 million (5.2 % of sales). The decline is attributed mainly to a weaker editorial portfolio—video‑game sales fell 16.9 % to €27.3 million—and a high comparison basis for accessory sales, which decreased 15.1 % to €43.7 million.

The balance sheet remained solid, with shareholders’ equity at €219.0 million and cash reserves of €62.6 million, reflecting recent studio acquisitions and catalogue development. Working‑capital requirements increased by €2.5 million due to inventory build‑up, while operating cash flow reached €17.7 million and investment outflows rose to €45.6 million.

In response, Nacon revised its 2021/22 targets downward (sales €150–180 million; current operating income near €20 million) and lifted 2022/23 expectations (sales €250–300 million; operating‑income rate >20 %). The company postponed several high‑profile releases to 2022/23, citing a need for additional development time to enhance quality. The acquisition of Ishtar Games was completed on 25 November 2021, expanding Nacon’s studio portfolio. The outlook highlights a strong editorial pipeline for 2022/23, with over fifteen new titles and continued growth of the back‑catalogue.

Nacon reported first‑half sales of €72.8 million in FY 2021/22, a decline of 15.9 % versus €86.6 million in the same period of FY 2020/21. The drop reflects a strong comparison base and logistical delays, particularly in the United States where supply‑chain disruptions affected shipments of PlayStation 4 and Xbox consoles. Games sales fell 18.7 % to €14.9 million, while accessories declined 20.1 % to €23.2 million; the “others” segment, comprising mobile and audio sales, saw a 17.2 % reduction to €1.1 million.

Quarterly performance mirrored the overall trend: Q2 sales of €39.2 million were 19.5 % lower than Q2 FY 2020/21, driven by a weaker base and shipping constraints. The company highlighted resilient back‑catalogue performance in games, with €6.9 million in sales that remained stable despite fewer new releases.

Looking ahead, Nacon expects a rebound in the second half of FY 2021/22, citing an expanded game slate—including Cricket 22, Rugby 22, Blood Bowl 3, Train Life, Hotel Life and the narrative RPG Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong—and new accessories such as the Revolution X Pro controller. Management reaffirmed FY 2021/22 revenue targets of €180–200 million and a 20 % operating margin, while projecting FY 2022/23 sales of €230–260 million with a similar margin.

The company’s methodology relies on non‑audited IFRS data, covering global sales across 100 countries through its 20 subsidiaries and a network of distributors. Nacon’s strategy includes continued acquisitions of development studios, initiated in 2018, to expand its intellectual property portfolio and support future growth.

Nacon reported first‑quarter sales of €33.7 million for the period 1 April to 30 June 2021, a decline of 11.3 % versus the same quarter in 2020‑21. The drop reflects an unfavorable comparison basis, yet back‑catalogue performance remained resilient with €9.2 million in sales compared to €10.8 million during the initial lockdown, and a substantial 340 % lift in back‑catalogue revenue that quarter. Game sales fell 16 % to €12.2 million, while accessories declined 8.8 % to €20.6 million; the accessories segment benefited from a 19 % rise in non‑RIG helmet ranges, notably PlayStation 4 and Xbox® controllers. Mobile and audio sales remained flat at €0.9 million.

The company confirmed its 2021‑22 and 2022‑23 targets, projecting total annual sales of €180–200 million with a current operating income (COI) margin of 20 %. For FY 2022‑23, Nacon aims for €230–260 million in sales and a COI margin above 20 %, supported by four major game launches (Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, Steelrising™, The Lord of the Rings™: Gollum™, and Session™). Second‑half growth is expected from additional titles such as Blood Bowl 3®, Rugby22®, Train Life, Hotel Life, Rogue Lords, and Vampire: The Masquerade®‑Swansong. Nacon’s integrated structure—comprising 11 development studios, publishing of AA titles, and premium hardware design—underpins its strategy to leverage synergies across a global distribution network covering 100 countries. The company, listed on Euronext Paris, employs over 600 staff and operates through 16 subsidiaries.

NACON reported consolidated sales for the fiscal year 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023, with total revenue of €156.4 million, a marginal increase of 0.3 % over the prior year. Quarterly performance showed a strong rebound in Q4, where sales rose 19.1 % to €37.7 million after a 19.6 % decline in Q3. The Games segment dominated the growth, increasing by 67.0 % to €90.9 million for the full year; new‑catalogue sales surged 93.0 % to €24.9 million, driven by releases such as Chef Life and Transport Fever 2 Console Edition. Back‑catalogue sales also expanded, reaching an all‑time high of €11.2 million in Q4 and growing 61.2 % year‑over‑year. Accessories revenue fell 36.6 % to €61.2 million, largely due to a global console shortage that dampened demand for new‑generation hardware; however, the decline slowed in Q4, suggesting a potential rebound. Other categories, including mobile and audio sales, contracted 13.1 % to €4.3 million.

The company anticipates a decline in operating income before IFRS2 for FY 2023‑24 but expects overall operating and net income to rise. Management projects a robust publishing pipeline with roughly twenty titles slated for release, including high‑profile games such as The Lord of the Rings: Gollum and RoboCop: Rogue City. The back‑catalogue is expected to continue benefiting from the mechanical effect of new releases, while accessories sales should recover as console supply normalizes and new product offerings expand. NACON’s outlook remains positive, underscoring confidence in continued growth across its video‑game and accessories businesses.

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020 – NACON SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022 SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022 TABLE OF CONTENTS 2 1. STATEMENT BY THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE .3 2.

NACON reported Q3 2022‑23 sales of €41.1 million, a 4.5 % decline from the same period in 2021‑22, bringing cumulative nine‑month sales to €118.7 million versus €124.2 million previously. The decline was driven largely by a sharp 41.5 % drop in accessories sales, attributed to global shortages of new‑generation consoles that forced retailers to tighten sourcing. Video game revenue rebounded, with catalogue sales up 17.2 % to €10.2 million and back‑catalogue sales surging 59.5 % to €8.8 million, supported by releases such as Vampire The Masquerade® – Swansong, Pro Cycling Manager 2022, and WRC Generations.

Quarterly performance varied: the first quarter saw a 25.8 % increase to €42.4 million, while the second quarter fell 10.7 % to €35.1 million and the third quarter declined 19.6 % to €41.1 million. Across the nine months, game sales grew 59 %, driven by catalogue and back‑catalogue growth, whereas accessories fell 37.8 % and other categories declined modestly.

Looking ahead, NACON anticipates a recovery in accessories sales as console shortages ease and plans to launch four new titles in Q4 2023, including Chef Life and Blood Bowl III. For FY 2023‑24, the company expects a modest rise in sales and operating income, buoyed by an expanded release calendar of roughly twenty games and a strengthening back‑catalogue pipeline. The outlook remains positive, with confidence in the company’s FY 2023‑24 prospects reaffirmed.
