RESULTS BY OPERATING SEGMENT

Current market conditions are making the release of new games into the market somewhat challenging. This is evident for videogames with limited marketing budget to support the launch and the creation of a consumer base. With a tightening economy, consumers are playing the same games for longer, rather than spending on new and different experiences. This trend makes it more challenging to attract gamers to new games intellectual properties, requiring strong efforts in terms of marketing investments.

The Group is cautiously optimistic with respect to the medium to long-term outlook, despite the factors mentioned above. The current investment portfolio consists of new versions of successful games (Ghostrunner, Assetto Corsa, Control and Bloodstained) as well as new products with large production and marketing budgets and looks aligned with the current market headwinds, even if they will persist. In the next fiscal year, the Group will launch sequels of previously successful games, as well as introducing new games coming from crowdfunding campaigns and backed by robust investments in marketing from marketplaces.

During the reporting period, the Group generated Euro 118 million revenues, down by 10.8% compared to the previous fiscal year, better than pre-closing forecast by 2 million Euros.

EBIT resulted at 19.3 million Euros, in the expected pre-closing range (19-21 million). This result is net of approximately 7.7 million Euros in write-offs related to lower than expected performance of recently launched videogames Miasma, Hawken and Stray Blade in the second half of FY 2022-2023. The impairment tests of such products showed the need for specific write-offs.

Total gross revenues fell at Euro 14.3 million, due to a 23.3% contraction in Premium Games revenues. On the other hand, Free to Play segment registered a 14.9 million increase, driven by the newly acquired 505 Go Inc., which allowed this operating sector to triple its revenues.

Revenues from international markets and digital sales respectively accounted for 97% and 92% of the total net revenue.

A breakdown of net revenue by operating segment for the period ended June 30th , 2023, compared to the period ended June 30th , 2022, is provided below:

Net revenue

Euro thousand June 30th
, 2023
June 30th
, 2022
Change € Change %
Premium Games 92,319 120,308 (27,989) -23.3%
Free to Play 22,046 7,132 14,914 n.s.
Italian Distribution 2,599 4,043 (1,443) -35.7%
Other Activities 968 755 213 28.2%
Total net revenue 117,932 132,238 (14,306) -10.8%

The net revenues for the Premium Games operating sector as of June 30th, 2023, were 92,319 thousand Euros and distributed across a substantial number of Intellectual Properties. A significant contribution of approximately 24.6 million Euros come from the different editions Assetto Corsa, developed by the fully owned studio Kunos Simulazioni.

The Premium Games operating segment represented 78.3% of the consolidated net revenue compared to 91% for the previous fiscal year, due to the incremental weight of the Free to Play revenue.

Video games developed by the internal studios and fully owned intellectual properties (IPs) accounted for 44% of the total revenues for the operating segment from 35% as of June 30th , 2022.

A breakdown of Premium Games revenue by the type of rights held by the Group as of June 30th , 2023 is provided below with comparative figures as of June 30th , 2022:

Net revenues from the Free to Play operating sector have more than tripled, increasing by Euro 14,914 thousand, rising from 7,132 thousand Euros to 22,046 thousand Euro. This growth was driven by the 16,332 thousand Euro generated by video games published by the newly acquired 505 Go Inc..

The Italian Distribution operating sector revenues decreased by Euro 1,443 thousand from Euro 4,043 thousand to Euro 2,599 thousand as of June 30th , 2023, confirming the declining trend of the previous fiscal years.

Total costs of sales amounted to Euro 35,706 thousand, down by 21.5% compared to the previous fiscal year, curbing the gross profit declined (-5.2%), from Euro 86,777 thousand to Euro 82,226 thousand.

Operating costs amounted to Euro 56,298 thousand, an increase of 27.3% compared to the previous fiscal year. This increase is primarily due to incremental payroll costs related to a larger number of people from recent acquisitions and from the growth of internal development studios. Additionally, there was an increase in service costs due to higher advertising investments related to expenses for 505 Go Inc. and support for the launches of the video games Crime Boss: Rockay City and Miasma.

Gross operating margin (EBITDA) amounted to Euro 43,453 thousand, corresponding to 36.8% of the consolidated net revenue, slightly decreasing by Euro 10,675 thousand from the Euro 54,128 thousand realized in the previous fiscal year.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by Euro 343 thousand. Asset impairment charge amounted to Euro 7,700 thousand and reflected the write offs related to the launches of certain videogames in the second half of FY 2022-2023. The impairment tests of such products, based on lower expectations after launch, created the need for specific write-offs.

Impairment reversal consisted of the difference between the price paid for the acquisition of 505 Go Inc. and the net equity at the moment of the first consolidation, as well as the adjustment of the debt for the earn-out to be paid in connection with the acquisition of the Australian companies.

Operating margin (EBIT) amounted to Euro 19,332 thousand, corresponding to 16.4% of the consolidated net revenue, compared to Euro 35,960 thousand as of June 30th , 2022.

The net financial result was negative at Euro 5,608 thousand, a decrease compared to Euro 4,201 thousand realized in the previous fiscal year. This reflects the inclusion of the fair value adjustment of the Starbreeze convertible bond considered in the interest expenses. The bond loan was then converted for Euro 6,462 thousand in June 2023, net of the financial income resulting from the fair value adjustment of the financial receivable purchased from Starbreeze, which was then received at Euro 3,979 on July 3rd, 2023.

Profit before tax for the period ended June 30th , 2023 amounted to Euro 13,724 thousand, a Euro 26,437 thousand decrease compared to profit before tax of Euro 40,161 thousand as of June 30th , 2022.

Net profit amounted to Euro 9,635 thousand compared to Euro 28,656 thousand as of June 30th , 2022.

Net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Parent Company was Euro 9,683 thousand.

Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share respectively were Euro 0.68 and Euro 0.66 compared to Euro 2,0 and 1.97 earnings per share as of June 30th , 2022.

NET FINANCIAL POSITION

The net financial position decreased by Euro 43,355 thousand from positive Euro 3,707 thousand as of June 30th , 2022, totaling a negative Euro 39,648 thousand at the end of the fiscal year and in line with the expected investment plan performed by the Group. The total net financial position, net of financial debts recorded due to the application of IFRS 16, was negative at 34,266 thousand euros.

PARENT COMPANY DIGITAL BROS S.p.A.

As of June 30th, 2023, gross revenue of the parent company Digital Bros S,p,A, amounted to Euro 7,877 thousand, down by 14.7% compared to Euro 9,235 thousand realized in the previous fiscal year. Net profit amounted to Euro 4,933 thousand compared to net profit of Euro 7,325 thousand as of June 30th, 2022.

The Parent Company will enhance the Group coordination activities, which will result in a growth of Other revenues. The positive performance of its subsidiaries, Kunos Simulazioni S.r.l. and 505 Games S.p.A., will enable to keep dividends in line with previous fiscal year.

TREASURY SHARES

As of June 30th , 2023, Digital Bros S.p.A. did not hold any treasury shares, and no transactions have been made in the period, in accordance with Art. 2428 paragraph 2.3 of the Italian Civil Code.

PROPOSAL FOR THE ALLOCATION OF EARNINGS

The Board of Directors proposes to the Shareholders' Meeting to allocate Euro 294 to the Legal Reserve and to allocate the remaining difference of Euro 4,933 thousand to Retained Earnings.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

On September 27th , 2023, the Board of Directors resolved to call the annual Shareholders' Meeting on October 27th , 2022, at 9.00 a.m. (one call only).

The Shareholders' Meeting is convened to:

  • approve the financial statements for the fiscal year 2022-2023, the Directors' Report, the Statutory Auditors Report, the Auditors' Report and the destination of the profit for the fiscal year 2022-2023;
  • approve the Remuneration and fees paid report pursuant to art. 123-ter of the Legislative Decree no. 58/98 and art. 84-quater of the Issuers' Regulation, with a non-binding resolution on the second section;
  • authorize the negotiation of treasury shares.

The Shareholders' meeting is also called to appoint the new Board of Directors and the new Board of Statutory Auditors.

The documentation for shareholders will be made available to the public in accordance with the Law.

SIGNIFICANT EVENT DURING THE PERIOD

On April 28th, 2023, Starbreeze announced a rights issue of approximately Swedish Kronor ("SEK") 450 million, Digital Bros Group has committed to:

    1. underwrite the pro-rata share of the rights issue, corresponding to approximately SEK 54 million;
    1. underwrite an incremental commitment for a maximum of SEK 100 million of unsubscribed rights, following the capital increase process;
    1. convert the total outstanding convertible loan of approximately SEK 215 million held by Digital Bros in Starbreeze B shares within 30 days from the closing of the capital increase process and after having received the recalculation of the revised conversion price.

As part of the overall agreement, Starbreeze has committed to using the proceeds from the capital increase primarily for the payment of the credit of SEK 150 million to Digital Bros, originally amounting to SEK 165 million, and net of the effective use of the commitment described at point 2).

As of June 30th, 2023, the company holds 113.2 million Starbreeze A shares and 48.6 million Starbreeze B shares as a result of the pro quota subscription outlined in point 1) and a negligible use of the commitment mentioned in point 2) above. This number of shares represents 11.96% of the capital and 29.16% of the voting rights.

The Group assesses to have no significant influence over Starbreeze, considering its governance structure, and despite the ongoing contractual relationships and the stake held in the Swedish company. Consequently, it has classified the shares as other investments, as it has in previous periods. Adjustments to this classification and valuation would be performed if any substantial changes in the relationship between the two groups will occur.

After the end of the fiscal year, on July 3rd, 2023, the Group successfully received its credit of 150 million SEK. On the same date, 3.3 million multiple-vote Starbreeze A shares were subscribed (equivalent to approximately 2.5 million Swedish Kronor) as a result of the guarantee provided for the unsubscribed options.

On July 10th, 2023, the Company requested the conversion of approximately 29.5 million multiple-vote Starbreeze A shares into single-vote Starbreeze B shares. This process was carried out to reduce its voting stake, in order to comply with EU regulations on mandatory takeover bids and in response to conversion requests from other Starbreeze shareholders and to comply with EU regulations, while also weighing in the effects of subsequent conversion of convertible bonds.

On July 19th, 2023, the Company requested the full conversion of the convertible bond, into 148.3 million Starbreeze B shares.

As of September 27th, 2023, after additional conversions of multiple-vote shares into single-vote shares by different shareholders, the Group now holds 87 million Starbreeze A shares and 223.4 million Starbreeze B shares. This accounts for 21% of the total capital and 38.8% of voting rights.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS OCCURRED AFTER JUNE 30TH, 2023

The only significant events occurred after June 30th, 2023, are related to the relationships with Starbreeze and have been detailed in the previous section.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The strategy of the Group for the next fiscal year includes the launch of Ghostrunner 2 in the second quarter and the release of the PC version of the sequel of Assetto Corsa, along with console and PC versions of the new game Eiyuden Chronicles in the fourth quarter. These publishing decisions are expected to be less affected by the market headwinds that negatively impacted the gaming sector, due to the release of successful game sequels and new games with significant crowdfunding and marketplace marketing support.

The Group remains cautiously optimistic about its long-term publishing plans, involving the release of console versions of Assetto Corsa and the launch of Control 2, sequel to the greatly successful videogame Control. There are no significant launches expected to occur in the Free to Play operating sector, which arrived to an acceptable level of revenues and margins following the acquisition of 505 Go Inc..

Forecasted revenues and operating margins for the next fiscal year are expected to grow, with the increase concentrated in the second half of the fiscal year.

The Group's investment plan will continue in the next fiscal year, with investments expected to exceed Euro 50 million. As a result of this strategy, the net financial debts will further increase along FY 2023-2024 but it is expected to lower to current levels at the end of the next fiscal year.

The Group has an earn-out agreement for 33% of PAYDAY3's net revenues, capped at 40 million US dollars. The game was developed by Starbreeze and released on September 21st, 2023. As of today, Digital Bros is unable to assess the timing and the amount it will receive. If the game overperforms to trigger the earn-out in part of in full, it would result in a significant improvement in the Group's financial performance.
