Current Report No. 15/2021: Investment Agreement and Share Acquisition

PCF Group S.A. completed a strategic acquisition of Game On Creative, Inc., a Montreal‑based animation and audio studio that supplies high‑end cinematics for major gaming titles, including the recent Outriders release. The transaction, finalized on 27 April 2021, involved a trust and its beneficiary Samuel Girardin. PCF paid PLN 29 369 385,59 for 100 % of Game On’s equity, with a potential earn‑out of 5 % of EBITDA for the fiscal years 2021‑2025 if predefined thresholds are surpassed. To secure the purchase price, PCF agreed to issue 387 714 Series D ordinary bearer shares—approximately 1.29 % of its capital—at PLN 75,75 each in a private placement exclusively offered to the seller. The Series D shares are subject to a lock‑up covering 85 % of the issue, with staggered release dates through April 2023 and December 2024. A conditional call option from Sebastian Wojciechowski allows the seller to reacquire shares at the issue price if the capital increase is not registered on time, with a 30 % pre‑payment provision before lock‑up expiry. The agreement includes standard representations, warranties, and a pledge covering roughly 30 % of the Series D shares to secure potential claims. Non‑competition clauses bind both seller and beneficiary, while Samuel Girardin will assume leadership roles within People Can Fly Canada, Inc., reinforcing PCF’s AAA development capabilities. The deal aligns with PCF’s strategy to enhance animation and audio production for simultaneous multi‑project development.

FY23 Financial Results

The FY23 financial results show a contraction in revenue to £104.6 million, an 8 % decline from the previous year, driven largely by lower sales of the F1® Manager series. Adjusted EBITDA swung from a £6.7 million profit in FY22 to a £4.6 million loss, while the IFRS operating loss widened to £26.6 million. Non‑cash intangible charges of £28.7 million—primarily the closure of Foundry (£13.7 m) and a £15 million impairment on the F1® Manager franchise—were key contributors to the loss. Cash reserves fell from £38.7 million to £28.3 million, reflecting higher operating expenses and capitalised development costs. The portfolio remains dominated by legacy titles, with 72 % of revenue generated from pre‑FY23 releases such as Jurassic World Evolution 2. New initiatives include the acquisition of Complex Games in November 2022 and the planned launch of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, a real‑time strategy title slated for November 2023. The company has refocused on Creative Management Simulation games, closing Foundry and reallocating resources to two new CMS projects. Leadership reviews aim to improve return on investment. For FY24, market consensus expects revenue of £108 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss of £9 million. The company anticipates that the new RTS release, alongside continued support for existing titles and undisclosed revenue streams, will offset the F1® Manager shortfall. The strategy shift toward core CMS titles and tighter cost management underpins confidence in returning to profitable performance over the medium term.
