RESULTS BY OPERATING SEGMENT

The videogames Control, Indivisible and Journey to the Savage Planet were launched during the financial year. These launches are part of the investment plan of new videogames started during the last quarter of the past fiscal year with the launch of Bloodstained. The release plan enabled a significant increase of revenues and financial margins.

Starting from January 2020, the world has been materially affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The precautionary measures adopted by governments around the world, to contain the spread of the contagion, locked people in their houses and caused the shutdown of numerous retail stores and chains. The free time from work and school significantly impacted the demand for home entertainment and increased the revenue stream coming from digital distribution, improving the operating margins of the Group.

Consolidated gross revenues increased by 71% in the fiscal year from €81.3 million to €139 million. A breakdown by operating segment at 30th June, 2020 compared to prior fiscal year is provided below:

Euro thousand Gross revenue Net revenue

Total gross revenues 139,033 81,317 57,716 71.0% 133,223 77,008 56,215 73.0%

The Premium Games operating segment gross revenues amounted for 88% of the consolidated revenues and significantly increased (up by €61.9 million) as a result of the sales of Control, released on August 27th, 2019, Bloodstained, launched in June 2019 and Journey to the Savage Planet, launched in January 2020. Revenue from Control amounted to €34.4 million in the period while Bloodstained and Journey to the Savage Planet sales amounted to €11.8 million and €12.1 million respectively.

The Italian Distribution operating segment revenues decreased by €5.1 million, showing a reduction of 37% compared to the previous fiscal year due to the effects of Covid-19 on retail businesses.

The Free to Play operating segment revenue showed a 13.7% increase, following the positive performance of the videogame Gems of War.

Digital Bros Group's revenues and earnings by operating segments for the fiscal year 2019-2020 are as follows:

EBIT 31,655 (6,279) 678 (55) (5,944) 20,055

Operating costs increased by €6.2 million due to higher marketing and advertising costs to support new videogames launches and payroll costs. The increase in operating costs has been proportionally lower than the increase in revenues.

Non-monetary costs increased by €5.6 million mainly because of higher depreciation and amortization for €6.3 million due both to depreciation of the Group's intellectual properties and the application of the new IFRS 16 for €1.3 million. Write-offs amounted to €2.2 million compared to €2.1 million on June 30, 2019.

Net financial income amounted to €628 thousand compared to €32 thousand on June 30, 2019.

The profit before tax at June 30, 2020 amounted to €20.7 million, up by €22 million compared to the loss before tax of €1.3 million on June 30th, 2019.

Upon resolution of the shareholders' meeting, the dividend will have a payment date on 16 December 2020, with the exclusion of treasury shares in the portfolio, by clipping coupon no. 10 on 14 December 2020, in accordance with the Borsa Italiana calendar, and record date on 15 December 2020.

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

The shareholders' documentation will be available to the public according to Law.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD

The most significant events during the period were as follows:

  • on October 28th, 2019, Digital Bros Group announced the deal with the studio Kojima Productions for the worldwide publishing rights of the PC version of the videogame Death Stranding. The Group expects to generate lifetime revenues in excess of €50 million from the PC version of the videogame. On March 2nd, 2020, it was announced that the PC version of the videogame Death Stranding was expected to be released on June 2, 2020. On April 21st, 2020 the release date was moved to July 2020 following the temporary closure of the studio Kojima Productions for Covid-19 precautionary measures;
  • on February 26th, 2020, Digital Bros acquired all the assets held by the South Korean company Smilegate Holdings in the Swedish company Starbreeze AB for a total price of €19.2 million (overall nominal value of approx. €35.3 million). The assets acquired by the Group include a convertible bond of SEK 215 million (approx. €19.7 million) issued by Starbreeze AB, a credit of US \$16.3 million (approx. €14.8 million) that will be paid before December 2024 and no. 3,601,083 Starbreeze AB STAR A shares and 6,018,948 Starbreeze AB STAR B shares. The total consideration is paid in two installments: €9.2 million at the closing date and the remainder €10 million before February 28th, 2021;
  • On February 28th, 2020, the independent Director Paola Carrara resigned from the Board of Directors for personal reasons;
  • On March 3rd, 2020, Digital Bros acquired the remaining 51% of Ovosonico S.r.l. for a total consideration of €210 thousand. The studio, that is currently working on the development of one of the Group's IP, was renamed in Avantgarden S.r.l.;
  • On March 5th, 2020, the Group signed a settlement agreement with the Italian Tax Authorities (Agenzia delle Entrate) referred to the tax litigation for the years 2011-2015. This dispute is related to some operations of the subsidiary 505 Games S.p.A. which, based on the assessments conducted by the financial administration, would have been considered as royalty and therefore subject to withholding tax. Even if the Group considers the transactions as purchases of goods and/or services and does not agree, both in form and substance, with the claims of the Italian Tax Authorities, to avoid a potentially long and costly litigation, the Company has decided to enter into a conciliatory agreement. Following the above the Group recorded non-recurring costs for Euro 1.4 million at 31 December 2019. The amount includes interest of €580 thousand and penalties of €224 thousand together with potential credit losses of €594 thousand relating to unrecognized items from vendors against the withholding taxes the company will pay on their behalf;
  • on March 5th, 2020 the Board of Directors appointed Laura Soifer as new Independent Director. The Board of Directors after having verified the independence requirements of the new Director, appointed Laura Soifer as member of the Control and Risks Committee and the Related Parties Committee.

COVID-19

Following Covid-19 emergency and provisions issued by the Prime Minister Office from March 2020 and still currently valid, the Group proactively enabled remote working for the majority of its employees and associates before the provisions entered in force, both in Italy and around the world. Remote working is still currently used by the Group even if mitigated in respect of the first weeks of lockdown. From an operating perspective, remote working did not impact the Group's main activities segments.

Most relevant impacts caused by the pandemic on videogames market can be summarized as follows:

  • higher use of videogames during lockdown, especially for mass market products, casual gamers and videogames under promotions;
  • generic growth in digital revenues;
  • drastic reduction of revenues coming from physical distribution, except for a marginal portion of e-commerce sales.

On the videogame's development side, considering that development teams are spread around the world, the remote working has inevitably delayed the development of new products. Such delays were more affecting larger development teams or in the last months prior to the product's launch, where the team is usually called to greater interaction.

Thus, the Group had to postpone the launch of the PC version of the videogame Death Stranding by six weeks, initially planned in early June, and then released after the fiscal year closing, on July 14th, 2020.

As regards to other development processes, the Group did not face any particular problems given that most of these projects are carried out by teams of a size which allow considerable efficiency even when working remotely.

The digitalization of the market was accelerated by the inability of consumers to reach traditional stores. Therefore, the Group realized most of its revenues on digital marketplaces, generating a significant increase in operating margins due to higher profitability per unit and considerably lower production and logistics costs.

The increase in digital revenues concentrated revenues from a limited number of clients. They have financial solidity well above the traditional retail clients and shorter payment terms. Therefore, the Group did not record significant impacts deriving from adjustments in the estimate of expected losses on trade receivables (IFRS 9).

Impairment tests performed mostly on license of videogames did not generate any significant difference and even though writeoffs registered during the fiscal year were €2.2 million, they are not a direct consequence of Covid-19, but they are in line with previous fiscal years.

However, the sharp decrease in revenues from traditional distribution has accelerated a process that has already been underway for some years; the drastic decline recorded since March 2020 led to a reduction in the prices of products in stock with an increase in the obsolescence of inventories. This factor was taken into consideration by the Group which wrote-off the valuation of inventories at the end of the fiscal year to €4.8 million, corresponding to a 40% of inventories' book value.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

There were no significant events after June 30th, 2020.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Next fiscal year launch plan includes the PC version of the videogame Death Stranding, already launched in the first quarter of the fiscal year, the release of the new videogame Ghostrunner in October 2020 and next gen consoles versions (Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Xbox X) of the videogame Control by the third quarter of the fiscal year. In the Free to Play segment, Puzzle Quest 3 and the MMO (massive multiplayer) version of the videogame Portal Knights are expected to be launched globally during the third quarter, while Hawken development is expected to be completed in the last quarter of the fiscal year.

Following the continuous launches of new products, together with sales of recently released products, revenues are forecasted to grow in the next fiscal year. The increase in revenues will not be as significant as in fiscal year 2019-2020.

Operating margins will remain stable despite revenues' growth, mainly because of marketing campaigns costs to promote new videogames launches in the Free to Play segment.

Net financial position improvement, which led to a positive net financial position at the end of last fiscal year, is expected to continue during the next fiscal year.

The Group will monitor all impacts caused by the Covid-19 pandemic undertaking all necessary actions required and will communicate to the market any potential matter not adequately already disclosed.
