Comments by CEO Tero Virtala

The last quarter of 2023 was a special and memorable one for Remedy. Alan Wake returned after 13 years with the launch of Alan Wake 2 at the end of October 2023. Alan Wake 2 is the largest and most ambitious project undertaken by Remedy. Finalizing the game with a high quality was a priority and required more personnel during the year than originally planned, which in turn delayed our other projects moving to the next development stages. The successful launch of Alan Wake 2 freed up talents for other game projects, resulting in improved development velocity.

We at Remedy are grateful for Alan Wake 2's positive reception from both critics and players. The game has a Metacritic score of 89 placing it among the very best game launches of 2023, and it has won several awards including Best Game Direction, Best Narrative, and Best Art Direction at The Game Awards. With Alan Wake and Control we now have two established franchises, and our ambition is to grow them into franchises that have high brand recognition, steadily growing user base, more regular cadence of sequels and an ability to generate revenues and profits at a high level.

The sales of Alan Wake 2 started well despite a competitive launch window and an overall exceptional number of great game launches throughout the year. Alan Wake 2, as a digital only release, had sold over 1 million units by the end of the fourth quarter of 2023 making it the fastest selling Remedy game. I want to thank the development team for their incredible effort in getting Alan Wake 2 done. As Control proved, a great quality game can have excellent longtail sales and we expect this to be the case with Alan Wake 2 as well. Alan Wake 2 has already recouped a significant part of the investments made by Epic Games Publishing, and we expect the game to be a meaningful revenue and profitability driver for the year.

In February 2024, we acquired full rights to the Control franchise from 505 Games. This is a significant positive step for us. While 505 Games was the right partner in 2017, the franchise and our ambitions have grown since. We see that the way to grow the Control franchise is with a different business model and a partner.

Our full year 2023 revenue and profitability were impacted by significantly increased investments in our own game projects, and the impairment charge related to codename Vanguard. Out of the five games we had in development during the year, we cofinanced four that are based on Remedy-owned brands, whereas Max Payne1&2 remake is fully funded by the IP owner and publishing partner Rockstar Games. In the fourth quarter of 2023, revenue and profitability declined from the comparable period.

In November we announced a reboot to Codename Vanguard, renamed Codename Kestrel. The requirements for a successful new free-to-play game have clearly increased during the past years. Despite the promising progress during the first half of the year, we decided with Tencent that the potential was not there. Kestrel returned to a concept stage. As a result, we wrote off all the capitalized Vanguard development costs, impacting the profitability of the fourth quarter and full year 2023 by EUR -7.2 million.

Control 2 continued in the proof-of-concept stage. In the fourth quarter, the team worked particularly on world building and combat. Codename Condor continued in the production readiness stage and the team focused on combat and game mechanics. Both games have proven fun and engaging game play.

Max Payne 1&2 Remake also continued in the production readiness stage. The team made considerable progress throughout the year. Max Payne 1&2 remake is going to be a major new game with great potential, enabled by a similar development budget as Alan Wake 2.

We expect Condor, Control 2 and Max Payne 1&2 remake projects to advance to the next stages of development during the first half of 2024. With the refined multi-project model in place, increased focus on Remedy core strengths and the dedication of almost 400 Remedians, we are thrilled with a great lineup of upcoming game launches.

I want to thank all Remedians for their hard work and dedication throughout the year. 2023 was a challenging yet remarkable year for Remedy. Having acquired the full rights to Control, Condor and Control 2, we can now make the right product and business decisions focusing on long-term franchise growth for both Alan Wake and Control. We continue the year 2024 with great enthusiasm, more focus, and plenty of determination, and we expect this to be an exciting year of growth for Remedy.

Outlook 2024

Remedy expects its revenue to increase from the previous year and operating profit (EBIT) to improve.

The revenue growth rate and EBIT improvement are meaningfully dependent on the choice between self-publishing and/or choosing a new publishing partner for the games in the Control franchise (Codename Condor and Control 2).

We will specify the Outlook for 2024 when the decision for the business model and the potential agreements for Control 2 and Condor have been made.

Long-term business prospects

We have two established own franchises, Control and Alan Wake, which are linked through the Remedy Connected Universe. Growing and expanding these franchises will be a key part of our future. In addition, we work with a partner franchise Max Payne that was originally created by Remedy.

Result from business operations

October–December 2023

In October-December 2023, Remedy's revenue decreased by 24.4% in relation to the comparison period, amounting to EUR 10.3 (13.6) million. Development fees were EUR 7.6 (12.8) million and royalties from publishing partners were EUR 2.7 (0.9) million. The main sources of revenue in October - December 2023 were the development fees from Max Payne 1&2 remake, codenames Kestrel and Vanguard, and royalties from Alan Wake Remastered. In the comparison period of 2022, the development fees for Control 2 included compensation for work that had already been done earlier.

In October‒December 2023, Remedy's EBITDA decreased to EUR -3.9 (2.8) million and operating profit (EBIT) was EUR -12.8 (2.1) million, or -123.9% (15.6%) of the revenue. Materials and services expenses were 80.7%, personnel expenses 12.8%, and other operating expenses 8.9% higher than in the comparison period. Operating profit was affected by the EUR -7.2 million write-off of codename Vanguard.

January–December 2023

In January-December 2023, Remedy's revenue decreased by 22.2% to EUR 33.9 (43.6) million. Development fees were EUR 28.7 (39.1) million and royalties from publishing partners were EUR 5.2 (4.5) million. The main sources of revenue were development fees from Max Payne 1&2 remake, Alan Wake 2 and codenames Kestrel and Vanguard. Revenue from royalties grew from comparison period due to Alan Wake remastered starting to generate royalties in autumn 2023.

In January‒December 2023, Remedy's EBITDA decreased to EUR -17.0 (1.9) million and operating profit (EBIT) to EUR -28.7 (-0.6) million, or -84.4% (-1.3%) of the revenue. Remedy's transition to a phase where it invests more in game projects during the development phase to ensure longer term upside potential, has continued still during 2023. Materials and services expenses were 43.3%, personnel expenses 12.5%, and other operating expenses 19.2% higher than in the comparison period.

Cash flow and financial position

Cash flow

October–December 2023

In October-December 2023, Remedy's cash flow from business operations amounted to EUR 0.1 (-3.8) million. Operating cash flow was impacted by a higher amount of incoming payments from partners.

In October-December 2023, Remedy's cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR -0.5 (-2.5) million and cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR -1.3 (- 1.2) million.

January–December 2023

In January–December 2022, Remedy's cash flow from business operations amounted to EUR -16.0 (11.1) million. Compared to the comparison period, Remedy received a smaller amount of development fees from partners, especially related to Alan Wake 2. Also, the development fee receivables grew due to the agreement-based payment timings. At the same time outgoing payments related to outsourcing were significantly higher than in the comparison period.

Royalty revenue cash flow is based on agreed payment terms with partners and can differ significantly during certain periods from accrual-based revenue recognized within a period. Cash flow from business operations is also affected by the timing of significant incoming project development fee payments, which vary according to invoicing milestones.

In January–December 2023, Remedy's cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR –9.8 (-10.6) million and cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR -3.1 (-2.8) million.

Financial position

Remedy's non-current assets on December 31, 2022, totaled EUR 34.9 (31.4) million. The increase in non-current assets is largely due to deferred tax assets. The total amount of capitalized product development expenses was EUR 19.3 (23.3) million on December 31, 2023. The decrease was due to the write-off of codename Vanguard and start of depreciations of development expenses related to Alan Wake Remastered. The company has several projects under development and their product development costs are capitalized according to IFRS standards. The company does not have any goodwill on its balance sheet. On December 31, 2023, Remedy's cash position was EUR 20.1 (49.0) million.

The company's liabilities on December 31, 2023, amounted to EUR 11.5 (11.2) million. Remedy's balance sheet total on December 31, 2022, was EUR 79.3 (99.6) million and equity EUR 67.8 (88.4) million. Equity was impacted by a dividend payment of EUR 1.3 million in April 2023. The company's equity ratio was 85.5% (88.8%) and net gearing - 35.1% (-56.4%).

Personnel, management and governance

The number of the company's personnel (headcount) was 352 (334) at the end of the period under review, with an annual growth of 5%. 52% of the personnel represent 32 different nationalities, the rest (48 %) are Finns. The total headcount at the end of the period under review was 385, growing 5% from the same period in the previous year. The total headcount is defined as headcount added with people who work in Remedy's projects but are not employed by Remedy.

At the end of the period under review, the company's Core Management Team comprised CEO Tero Virtala, CFO Terhi Kauppi, Chief Product Officer Markus Mäki, Creative Director Sami Järvi, Chief Commercial Officer Johannes Paloheimo, Chief Operating Officer Christopher Schmitz and Chief Technology Officer Mika Vehkala.

Annual General Meeting 2024

Remedy's Annual General Meeting is planned to be held on April 12, 2024. The company will give notice to the Annual General Meeting separately in accordance with its Articles of Association.

Risks and uncertainties

The most substantial short-term risks and uncertainties are:

  • Remedy's game development efforts may fail if the company is unable to develop its games within set mandates, such as release schedule, quality, and budget. Additionally, the company's games may not generate sufficient sales after their release, even if well received and of high quality, thus generating less than estimated game royalties for Remedy.
  • Remedy has entered into long-term publishing agreements with its key partners. If the company failed to satisfy key contract obligations, its partners could terminate their agreements with, or present claims to, the company.
  • Remedy purchased back publishing rights for Control, Condor and Control 2 and is this way taking more own risk in game development. This means that there is currently no partner to share the financing of the game development for Condor and Control 2 and this increases financing needs for Remedy. There is a risk that Remedy does not find financing solutions or that the terms of these solutions are unfavorable. The financial effects of financing solutions might pose higher financing expenses due to the current overall higher interest rate environment.
  • Remedy's success depends significantly on its ability to hire, train, and retain skilled personnel. If the company fails in these areas, it will be unable to effectively conduct its business.
  • Remedy's business is subject to economic, market, and geopolitical conditions, which are beyond its control. Recently, the company has seen that its costs have been subject to inflationary pressures. If the company is unable to shift its increased costs to its partners or if these are not reflected in the retail prices of its games, this could have a negative impact on the company's profitability.

The above-mentioned risks might, if they materialize, have a significant negative impact on Remedy's business operations, result, financial position, outlook and share price. 

Events after the end of the reporting period

On February 6, 2024, Remedy signed a contract amendment with Tencent for codename Kestrel, resulting in the Kestrel project starting fresh.

On February 16, 2024, Remedy announced that Alan Wake 2 had sold 1 million units by the end of December 2023, and 1.3 million units as of the beginning of February 2024.

On February 28, 2024, Remedy acquired full rights to the Control franchise from 505 Games. Upon the transaction, all publishing, distribution, marketing and other rights to Control, codename Condor, Control 2, and all future Control products will revert to Remedy.

  • Level 1: fair value is calculated on the basis of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Remedy can access at the measurement date.
  • Level 2: fair value is calculated on the basis of inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability; either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
  • Level 3: fair value is calculated on the basis of inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, Remedy uses observable market data as far as possible.
