Comments by CEO Tero Virtala

The marketing campaign for Alan Wake 2 began in the second quarter of 2023. At the May PlayStation Showcase, we unveiled a gameplay reveal trailer for Alan Wake 2. The organic engagement for the trailer was excellent. In June, together with Epic Games, we showed off a behind-closed-doors demo of Alan Wake 2 at the Los Angeles Summer Games Fest Play Days event. The response to the 35-minute live demo was very positive – every one of our 15 demo sessions was full, and we had to accommodate more people than originally anticipated. The game was especially

praised by event participants for its stunning visuals, intricate sound design, compelling characterization of Saga and the deep narrative storytelling Remedy is known for. Alan Wake 2 was selected as the singular Most Anticipated Title as judged by more than 40 global media outlets that voted on the Game Critics Awards: Best of Summer Games Fest.

In the second quarter of 2023 our operating profit margin was negative as it was affected by higher investments in game projects than in the comparison period. One part of our strategy is to move our operations toward game publishing and take a stronger position in the value chain, which requires increased investments in our game brands. This has a negative impact on profitability in the short term but will increase the royalty potential for the upcoming years. During the first half of the year, we were able to continue hiring more talent across the organization resulting in higher personnel expenses than a year ago. We expect a slight increase in our total headcount due to targeted recruitments to further strengthen our teams. As many other companies have slowed down recruitments, our position to gain great talent continues to be strong.

Control 2 continues in the proof-of-concept stage. The development team focused on proving gameplay and world concepts as well as expanding the enemy palette. Codename Condor is also in the proof-of-concept stage. In the second quarter of the year, the team adjusted and finetuned the game concept, related designs, as well as the overall player experience, and focused on proving these in the game build. Progress has been good, and the project is nearing the production readiness stage.

Codename Vanguard continues in the proof-of-concept stage. The development team continued proving the core gameplay loop and the key metagame designs. The game has made better progress than before, and we are aiming to complete the proof-ofconcept phase by the end of the year.

Max Payne 1&2 remake's proof-of-concept stage, which started in the first quarter, has begun well. The project has made solid progress overall. The development team continues building on the solid foundation it has established.

The year has been busy so far for us Remedians. Alan Wake 2 is our largest game project to-date and will be a testimony of our ability to create immersive worlds and stories that keep players engaged. We are happy that the initial reception has been impressive and expect the return of Alan Wake to reinvigorate existing fans and expand the brand's reach to new audiences. Accompanied with the other four games in our games pipeline, this release is the next step in our journey to release exciting new games for years to come.

2023 outlook (unchanged)

Remedy expects its revenue to decline from the previous year and its operating result to be negative.

Long-term business prospects

We have several games in development, each with a world-class partner and agreed long-term development fees. These development fees form a strong and predictable revenue basis for many years. On top of these revenues, we have the less predictable but highly scalable revenue streams arising from game royalties.

Our assumptions for individual game royalties are inherently conservative, due to the amount and nature of the variables impacting game sales. However, each high-quality game that stands out in the market has the potential to succeed in a bigger way, which would drive significant revenue and operating profit growth. Our games and brands are transforming into longer-lasting experiences that typically continue to sell for years.

In relation to our longer-term game roadmap, we now have five game projects in development and will have major game launches starting from 2023. The timing of individual game launches and new game development agreements may cause variation from quarter to quarter and year to year. With several games out in the market accruing royalties and several new ones in development, this variation is expected to decrease in the coming years.

Result from business operations

April–June 2023

In April‒June 2023, Remedy's revenue decreased by 5.3% in relation to the comparison period, amounting to EUR 8.9 (9.4) million. Development fees were EUR 7.9 (7.4) million and royalties from publishing partners were EUR 1.0 (2.0) million. The main sources of revenue were the development fees from Max Payne 1&2 remake, Alan Wake 2, Control 2, codename Vanguard, and codename Condor as well as royalties from Control. Alan Wake Remastered did not yet generate royalties.

In April‒June 2023, Remedy's EBITDA decreased to EUR -4.1 (-1.8) million and operating profit (EBIT) was EUR -4.8 (-2.4) million, or -53.8% (-25.6%) of the revenue. The decrease was mainly due to 18.1% higher outsourcing (materials and services) expenses and 29.3% higher other operating expenses than in the comparison period. Personnel expenses were also 11.0% higher than in comparison period due to increased headcount to 347 (318) at the end of the reporting period.

January–June 2023

In January‒June 2023, Remedy's revenue decreased by 28.3% to EUR 15.8 (22.1) million. Development fees were EUR 14.4 (19.0) million and royalties from publishing partners were EUR 1.4 (3.0) million. The main sources of revenue were the development fees from Max Payne 1&2 remake, codename Vanguard, Alan Wake 2, Control 2 and codename Condor as well as royalties from Control. Development fees from Alan Wake 2 and codename Condor as well as game royalties from Control

decreased from the comparison period. Alan Wake Remastered did not yet generate royalties.

In January‒June 2023, Remedy's EBITDA decreased to EUR -8.9 (1.5) million and operating profit (EBIT) to EUR -10.4 (0.4) million, or -65.7% (1.6%) of the revenue. Transitioning to a phase where Remedy invests more in game projects during the development phase to ensure longer term upside potential, also means that we gradually hire more employees and utilize external development more than in the past years. The share we receive from publishing partners in the form of development fees is lower compared to the total level of investment. Materials and services expenses were 28.3%, personnel expenses were 15.8% and other operating expenses 24.3% higher than in the comparison period.

Cash flow and financial position

Cash flow

April–June 2023

In April‒June 2023, Remedy's cash flow from business operations amounted to EUR - 7.0 (-8.3) million.

In April‒June 2023, Remedy's cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR -2.3 (-2.6) million and cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR -1.6 (-2.2) million. Financing cash flow was impacted by dividend payment of EUR 1.3 million.

January–June 2023

In January–June 2023, Remedy's cash flow from business operations amounted to EUR -11.0 (9.4) million. Compared to the comparison period, Remedy received a much smaller amount of development fees from partners, especially related to Alan Wake 2 and codename Vanguard. Also, clearly higher outgoing payments related to business operations impacted cash flow negatively.

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–June 2023, Remedy's cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR -7.5 (-5.3) million and was impacted by an additional 3.0 million cash management investment during first quarter of 2023. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR -1.7 (-1.9) million.

Financial position

Remedy's non-current assets on June 30, 2023, totalled EUR 37.9 (27.8) million. The increase in non-current assets is largely due to the capitalization of product development expenses. The total amount of capitalized product development expenses was EUR 25.5 (19.1) million on June 30, 2023. 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 June 30, 2023, Remedy's cash position was EUR 28.9 (53.6) million. Remedy has additionally financial cash management investments for EUR 10.1 (6.8) million.

The company's liabilities on June 30, 2023, amounted to EUR 12.2 (13.9) million.

Remedy's balance sheet total on June 30, 2023, was EUR 92.7 (100.4) million and equity EUR 80.5 (86.5) million. Equity was impacted by a dividend payment of EUR 1.3 million in April 2023. The company's equity ratio was 86.8% (86.2%) and net gearing -39.3% (-61.3%).

Personnel, management and governance

The number of the company's personnel (headcount) was 347 (318) at the end of the period under review, with an annual growth of 9%. 51% of the personnel represent 31 different nationalities, the rest (49%) are Finns. The total headcount at the end of the period under review was 381, growing 9% 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 Chief Executive Officer Tero Virtala, Chief Financial Officer Terhi Kauppi, Chief Product Officer and Chief Technology Officer Markus Mäki, Creative Director Sami Järvi, Chief People Officer Mikaela Öberg, Chief Commercial Officer Johannes Paloheimo, and Chief Operations Officer Christopher Schmitz.

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'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 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'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.

  • 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.
