Raport Bieżący Nr 38/2021: Nieosiągnięcie przez PCF Group S.A. Tantiem ze Sprzedaży Gry „Outriders”

The report, dated 16 August 2021, explains that PCF Group S.A. has not received any royalty payments from Square Enix Limited for the game “Outriders.” According to the production‑and‑publishing agreement signed on 16 February 2016, royalties are payable only after the publisher recovers a specified level of production, distribution and promotion costs from net sales. The agreement also sets a 45‑day payment window following the end of each calendar quarter. That deadline expired on 14 August 2021, and PCF Group’s first working day thereafter yielded no payment. Consequently, the company concludes that the publisher has no obligation to pay royalties for the period covering 1 April 2021 through 30 June 2021. In addition, PCF Group reports that it has not received any sales figures, revenue data or cost information related to “Outriders” from the publisher up to the report’s date. The document serves as a formal notification under Article 17(1) of the MAR regulation, outlining the company’s position on unpaid royalties and lack of transparency from the publisher. No further financial or operational details are provided, and the report focuses solely on the contractual dispute over royalty payments for the specified quarter.

Bilan du Marché Français: 2025

The French video game market demonstrated significant resilience in 2025, generating €5.856 billion in total revenue, a 2.9% increase over the previous year. This performance marks the second-highest in the industry’s history, solidifying its position as a cornerstone of the national cultural economy. Growth was primarily fueled by a rebound in console hardware sales and a record-breaking 11% surge in the mobile sector, which reached €1.792 billion. The market maintains a balanced ecosystem, with consoles commanding a 44% share, followed by mobile at 31% and PC gaming at 26%. Software remains the primary revenue driver, accounting for over two-thirds of the total market. While physical game sales faced a double-digit decline, this was effectively mitigated by the expansion of digital content, including microtransactions and downloadable content. Electronic Arts emerged as the leading publisher across console and PC platforms, while the mobile landscape remains almost entirely dominated by free-to-play models, which now represent 94% of mobile revenue. The industry’s reach expanded to 40.2 million players, characterized by a maturing demographic where adults comprise 88% of the base. High engagement levels persist, with 76% of players gaming on a weekly basis and a growing trend toward cross-platform usage. Alongside this growth, there is a heightened emphasis on responsible gaming. Parental involvement has reached new heights, with 67% of parents actively monitoring gaming habits through PEGI classifications and standardized parental control tools. This commitment to safety, supported by organizations like the SELL and events such as Paris Games Week, ensures that the industry continues to thrive as a mature, socially responsible, and culturally significant sector within France.

Summary of main supplementary explanations questions and answers at the FY2026 First Quarter GREE Holdings, Inc. results briefing held on November 6, 2025

GREE Holdings’ FY2026 first‑quarter briefing clarified strategic priorities across its game, VTuber, and investment divisions. The company emphasized a shift toward an in‑house development model for console titles while still leveraging external contractors to bridge current expertise gaps. In the mobile game segment, outside‑app payment methods have been fully deployed across all major titles and are contributing positively to profitability; the VTuber platform has similarly expanded its outside‑app transactions, boosting operating margins. The firm acknowledges a structural decline in earnings from new smartphone releases but plans to sustain revenue by focusing on long‑term engagement features and continuous hit title launches, particularly within the RPG genre. Market outlooks reveal a plateau in smartphone installs but growing potential through high‑value IP and outside‑app monetization. Console gaming is viewed as a long‑term investment, with an emphasis on cultivating enduring IP series. The VTuber market is still expanding globally, especially overseas, and the company projects full‑year profitability for its VTuber production arm by FY2027 as higher‑margin merchandise and live events offset earlier talent acquisition costs. Exit strategies for the investment business have shifted from IPOs to M&A, reflecting broader market conditions. Generative AI is being integrated across game development, VTuber content creation, and digital transformation services to enhance efficiency and service quality, though its direct earnings impact remains difficult to quantify. Overall, GREE aims to strengthen core competencies, diversify revenue streams, and adapt to evolving market dynamics while pursuing sustainable growth.

11 bit studios — Quarterly Report Q1 2020: Letter from the CEO

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.

Aktualizacja strategii PCF Group S.A.

PCF Group S.A. announced on 27 September 2021 that its board adopted an updated development strategy for the company and its capital group. The update builds on a prospectus approved by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority in November 2020 and introduces three key expansion directions. First, the group plans to broaden its game portfolio by adding AA titles that can be produced more quickly and at lower budgets while maintaining quality comparable to Triple‑A releases. Second, it aims to develop AAA and AA games in new genres beyond its current focus on shooters and action titles, incorporating RPG elements. Third, the strategy includes acquiring or partnering with new production teams or companies that operate in these newly targeted segments. The overarching objective is to position the group as one of the world’s leading independent development studios, with a target of releasing at least one new title annually from 2024 onward under either publisher collaboration or self‑publishing models. The update does not alter the existing strategic goals; it confirms the continued dual model of producing multiple Triple‑A games in partnership with major global publishers while expanding self‑publishing efforts for AAA titles based on existing or newly created intellectual property. The strategy therefore seeks to diversify genre offerings, streamline production pipelines for AA titles, and strengthen the group’s global competitive standing through both external partnerships and internal publishing capabilities.

Interim Results: H1 FY26

Frontier Developments plc reported unaudited interim results for the six months to 30 November 2025, showing a 26 % increase in revenue to £59.6 million and a 76 % rise in adjusted operating profit to £9.7 million compared with the same period in 2024. The growth was driven primarily by the launch of Jurassic World Evolution 3, which contributed 90 % of total revenue in H1 FY26 and earned nominations at the Game Awards 2025 and BAFTA Games Awards 2026. Other titles such as Planet Zoo, Planet Coaster 2 and Elite Dangerous also performed strongly, with Planet Zoo becoming the Group’s highest‑grossing individual game. Cash profitability improved markedly; adjusted operating profit, which excludes non‑cash development capitalisation and includes tax and R&D credits, grew to £9.7 million from £5.5 million year‑on‑year. IFRS operating profit rose 73 % to £7.8 million. Gross margin fell to 64 % from 70 %, reflecting higher royalty‑bearing IP revenue. The Group’s cash balance increased to £40.1 million, up 47 % from the prior year, after a £10 million share buy‑back that raised earnings per share to 21.4 p. The Board upgraded FY26 guidance, now targeting revenue of approximately £100 million and adjusted operating profit of around £11 million, citing strong seasonal sales momentum. CEO Jonny Watts stepped down on 1 January 2026, succeeded by Jo Cooke, with Watts remaining as Executive Director until 31 May 2026 to ensure a smooth transition. The Group remains debt‑free, with no significant liabilities beyond lease obligations, and maintains a robust pipeline of CMS titles slated for release in FY27–FY28.

Q1 2021/22 Sales: 33.7 M€

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™).
