In a world of rapid change, tabletop games remain a reliable and stable industry to operate in.
I am very pleased with our strong delivery in fiscal year 24/25 — a period marked by growth, robust cash flow, resilience, and preparation for our public listing. The fourth quarter exceeded our expectations and represented a meaningful milestone for Asmodee, with our successful debut on Nasdaq Stockholm coming just ahead of our 30th anniversary. I would like to thank our employees, players, and partners across retail, publishing, and licensing for helping shape what Asmodee is today.
Net sales increased by 23.0% during the quarter and organic growth accounted for 23.6%. Sales of Games published by Asmodee studios increased by 10.2% and sales of Games published by partners increased by 32.5%. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.9% (15.2), impacted by a less favourable sales mix and higher operating expenses. Last year benefited from post-Covid destocking after inventory build-up.
We delivered robust cash flow and ended the quarter at a net debt/EBITDA of 2.3x (0.8x) after M&A commitments.
Growth within Games published by Asmodee studios during the quarter was driven by the launch of Star Wars™: Unlimited - Jump to Lightspeed (Set 4) and new board game releases such as Happy Mochi (Zygomatic), which won Game of the Show at Spain's Interocio Fair, and The Fellowship of the Ring : Trick-Taking Game. Ongoing sales of LEGO® Monkey Palace and The Lord of the Rings – Duel for Middleearth™ also contributed. In addition, our pillar games continued to perform well, including CATAN®, Ticket to Ride®, Dobble®/Spot it!®, Exploding Kittens and Azul, which launched a new two-player version.
As part of our ongoing strategy to promote playing games, we participated in the Cannes International Games Festival, where Asmodee launched The TCG Village – a successful showcase of our Trading Card Games portfolio. We also presented our products at major trade events like the Nuremberg and New York Toy Fairs, engaging national and international industry partners.
The strong performance in Games published by partners was driven by new releases like Scarlet & Violet – Prismatic Evolutions (Pokémon®) and the initial sell-in of Scarlet & Violet – Journey Together. The quarter also saw strong performance of other TCGs, including One Piece, distributed by Asmodee in English in several territories, that was successfully launched in French — its first foreign language
outside English and Japanese — with the Emperors in the New World release.
During the quarter, we further expanded our IPs into other forms of entertainment with the release of the video game Shadowveil: Legend of the Five Rings, from Embracer's Palindrome, based on our namesake franchise.
Recognizing our engagement for sustainability, CATAN Studio was named one of the Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in CSR for 2025 by Fast Company, highlighting the launch of CATAN – New Energies, which engages players with climate challenges in a thoughtful and educational way.
Recent geopolitical tensions and announced tariffs have added uncertainty to the global environment. While these tariffs had a very limited impact in the fourth quarter, their long-term consequences remain uncertain. With 17% of group net sales coming from the US, Asmodee's geographic diversification helps limit exposure. While we prioritize proximity to market, part of our US board game sales is sourced from China (12% of group net sales). In response, we have reviewed our supply chain strategy including delaying select imports, we are also introducing price increases and taking cost control measures. Our outsourced and flexible manufacturing model enables us to adapt quickly, whilst we are closely monitoring the situation.
The next fiscal year has strong new releases, featuring the 6th Edition of our bestseller CATAN®, LEGO Brick Like This! , and many others, including Star WarsTM: Battle of Hoth. We are also strengthening Asmodee's position as a consumer-facing brand with a new visual identity.
In a world of rapid change, tabletop games remain a reliable and stable industry to operate in. Times like these also present opportunities for strategic acquisitions that strengthen our portfolio. We have built a unique and dynamic ecosystem one that includes strategic inventory positions on key titles to mitigate tariff and supply chain pressures.
As we look ahead, we are in a strong position to continue to capture profitable growth and create long-term value — driven by our diversified model and portfolio, talented teams, and disciplined approach to M&A.


Net sales amounted to EUR 341.4 million (277.5), an increase of 23.0% compared to the same period last year. Organically, sales increased by 23.6%. Last year's disposal of Miniature Market had an effect of -1.3% and the impact of changes in exchange rates was 0.7%. Games published by Asmodee studios increased by 10.2%, driven by both new releases and ongoing sales from pillar games. Games published by partners increased by 32.5%, driven by enhanced growth momentum for distributed product lines. Others decreased by -20.2%, impacted by last year's disposal of Miniature Market.
| Amounts in k.EUR | Jan-Mar 25 | Jan-Mar 24 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Games published by Asmodee studios | 88,509 | 80,291 | 10.2% |

| Total | 341,444 | 277,497 | 23.0% |
Adjusted EBITDA1 amounted to EUR 40.8 million (42.3). The decrease in adjusted EBITDA1 was driven by increased personnel and other operating expenses, partly linked to becoming a stand-alone listed company, as well as higher royalty costs to licensors, increased marketing costs and higher shipping costs, partly offset by higher volumes. The adjusted EBITDA margin1 was 11.9% (15.2), negatively impacted by a less favourable sales mix, higher royalty costs to licensors and other operating expenses. Last year the adjusted EBITDA margin1 was favourably impacted by the destocking following high inventory build-up during the post-Covid-period.
Adjusted EBIT1 amounted to EUR 32.8 million (34.6), corresponding to a margin of 9.6% (12.5%). EBIT1 amounted to EUR 30.9 million (-786.3) and included items affecting comparability1 of EUR 9.9 million (-803.7) where last year was impacted by an impairment of goodwill as well as publishing and distribution rights of EUR -764.6 million. EBIT1also included personnel costs related to acquisitions of EUR 0.8 million (0.8) and amortization of publishing and distribution rights of EUR -12.7 million (-17.9).

Net financials amounted to EUR -31.0 million (33.5). Financial expenses of EUR -79.1 million (-20.3) were mainly impacted by interest expenses of EUR -20.0 million (-7.7) primarily related to the terms and conditions of bonds. Financial expenses were further impacted by EUR -6.0 million of costs related to the early repayment of bonds, the change in fair value on put/call option on non-controlling interests of EUR -3.1 million (-3.0) and foreign exchange effects of EUR -49.4 million (-8.5). Financial income of EUR 48.1 million (53.8) was mainly impacted by foreign exchange effects of EUR 38.2 million (10.3) and the change in fair value on put/call option on non-controlling interests of EUR 8.9 million (44.1).
Profit for the quarter was EUR -0.1 million (-632.5), where last year was negatively impacted by an impairment of goodwill as well as publishing and distribution rights, which equates to basic earnings per share of EUR 0.00 (-6.56). Income tax for the quarter was EUR 0.1 million (120.3). Adjusted net profit1 for the quarter was EUR -3.2 million (-13.3), which equates to adjusted earnings per share of EUR -0.01 (-0.14).
Free cash flow after tax and capitalized lease payments1 amounted to EUR 95.1 million, corresponding to a free cash conversion1 relative to adjusted EBITDA of approximately 233%. The strong free cash flow reflects continuous focus on working capital management as well as strong sales towards the end of the quarter on products with a favourable cash cycle.

Adjusted EBITDA 1 amounted to EUR 228.2 million (211.7). The increase in adjusted EBITDA1 was driven by higher volumes and a favourable sales mix, partly offset by higher royalty costs to licensors, marketing costs, personnel costs and other operating expenses that were partly related to becoming a stand-alone listed company, as well as higher shipping costs. The adjusted EBITDA margin1 was 16.7% (16.4%) and was positively impacted by higher volumes and a favourable sales mix, partly offset by higher royalty costs to licensors, marketing costs and other operating expenses.

Net financials amounted to EUR -92.1 million (64.0). Financial expenses of EUR -167.4 million (-62.4) were mainly impacted by interest expenses of EUR -80.8 million (-32.7) primarily related to the terms and conditions of bonds and bridge loan, EUR -16.1 million (0) of implementation costs of the bridge loan and Revolving Credit Facility, EUR -6.0 million of costs related to the early repayment of bonds, the change in fair value on put/call option on non-controlling interests of EUR -8.8 million (-12.8), and the effect of the foreign exchange for EUR -66.1 million (-13.7). Financial income of EUR 75.3 million (126.4) was mainly impacted by foreign exchange effects of EUR 63.3 million (11.7) and the change in fair value on put/call options on non-controlling interests of EUR 8.9 million (114.6).
Profit for the period was EUR 4.7 million (-541.2), where last year was negatively impacted by an impairment of goodwill as well as publishing and distribution rights, which equates to basic earnings per share of EUR 0.03 (-5.61). Income tax for the period was -20.0 million (105.2). Adjusted net profit1 for the period was EUR 69.2 million (144.6), which equates to adjusted earnings per share of EUR 0.40 (1.50).
Free cash flow after tax and capitalized lease payments1 amounted to EUR 197.3 million (184.8), resulting in a free cash conversion1 relative to adjusted EBITDA of 86% (87).
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 185.9 million (196.0) during the period, whereof changes in working capital amounted to EUR 29.2 million (63.7). The cash flow from changes in working capital was impacted by an increase in inventories for an amount of EUR -4.0 million (69.3), where the change last year benefited from the destocking following high inventory build-up during the post-Covid-period. The cash flow from changes in working capital was favourably impacted by an increase in payables of EUR 47.2 million (1.7), partially offset by an increase in receivables of EUR -21.8 million (-8.1).
Cash flow from investing activities was EUR -18.9 million (-28.3) and mainly relates to investments in games developments.
Cash flow from financing activities was EUR 26.3 million (-171.4) including the implementation of the new capital structure. Last year included repayment of shareholder loans of EUR 225.0 million.
Net debt before and after M&A commitments1 at the end of the period amounted to EUR -409.8 million (15.3) and EUR -517.7 million (-168.4) respectively, resulting in a net debt/EBITDA1 before and after M&A commitments of 1.8x (-0.1) and 2.3x (0.8) respectively.
The increase in net debt is driven by higher financial debt following the issuance of EUR 940 million in senior secured notes. This was partly offset by a EUR 400 million capital injection from Embracer Group, of which EUR 300 million was used to repay gross debt. As per March 31, 2025 the total outstanding bond debt amounted to EUR 640 million, equally divided between the Fixed Rate Notes and the Floating Rate Notes.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to EUR 286.4 million (99.4). The increase is due to the financing activities mentioned above.

The parent company acquires and conducts operations through its directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries.

The parent company's equity at the end of the period was SEK 21,886 million (27,272).
Asmodee is exposed to risks, particularly the evolution of the tabletop market, dependence on key persons for the success of game development, the sales performance of launched games, the continuation of certain commercial relationships and key licensing agreements and the success and performance of acquisitions. While Asmodee's production prioritizes proximity to market, the introduction of various tariffs between different countries could also have a negative effect on Asmodee's business in the short and long term. The complete risk analysis is found in the Group's Prospectus.
Due to the cyclical nature of consumer demand in the tabletop gaming industry, Asmodee's sales are subject to seasonality. Seasonality typically manifests in higher sales during the second half of the financial year, driven by holiday-related purchases, particularly in view of Christmas and New Year. The increase in sales in view of the holiday season results from high demand, special editions and new launches. The company strategically times product launches based on the seasonal pattern, while relying on a strong base of evergreen titles that generate consistent revenue throughout the year. There are also seasonal variations in cash flow from operating activities, primarily driven by an increase in inventories during the second and third financial quarters and subsequent reduction during the late third and fourth financial quarters. The seasonal trend in cash flow from operating activities is expected to remain going forward.
No material events after the end of the reporting period.
Asmodee's Annual General Meeting 24/25 will be held in Karlstad, Sweden, on September 18, 2025.
The Board of Directors proposes that no dividend shall be paid for the fiscal year 24/25 and that retained earnings shall be carried forward.

During the quarter, Asmodee focused on producing its first sustainability report in accordance with the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), while also preparing for future reporting under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which will take effect from FY 25/26.
As part of its Double Materiality Analysis (DMA), Asmodee conducted a stakeholder dialogue with selected stakeholders from the financial market and other sectors. The purpose of the DMA is to assess the key environmental, social, and governance (ESG) topics most relevant to Asmodee's business and operations. This analysis will guide the company in identifying and prioritizing sustainability issues and form the foundation for setting its long-term strategic sustainability goals.
During the quarter, Asmodee also advanced the development of its overarching sustainability strategy and began the process of setting group-wide sustainability goals. This included one-on-one interviews with the Executive Management Team, selected board members, and other key internal stakeholders to gain a deeper understanding of their perspectives on sustainability and ESG. These insights are instrumental in ensuring that the company's sustainability efforts align with Asmodee's culture, mitigate financial risks, and support long-term value creation for investors and other stakeholders

The Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer offer their assurance that this year-end report gives a true and fair view of the Group's and parent company's operations, financial position and results of operations and describes the significant risks and uncertainties facing the Group and the parent company.

Undiscounted expected payments are estimates based on expected outcome of financial targets for each individual agreement and applicable terms. The settlement of the underlying acquisitions may vary over time depending on, among other things, the terms and conditions of the relevant agreements and, the degree of performance fulfillment relating to the acquired businesses.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurement is based on the fair value hierarchy which includes the following levels:
As of March 31, 2025, the only significant financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value relates to the financial liabilities "Put / Call options on non-controlling interests", classified under "Level 3", and amounting to EUR 75,826 thousand.
For current receivables and liabilities, such as trade receivables and trade payables and for liabilities to credit institutions at variable interest rate, the carrying amount is considered to be a good approximation of the fair value.
Put/call options on non-controlling interest refers to put/call options on non-controlling interests in business combinations where the selling shareholders keep some ownership and there is a contractual obligation where Asmodee will purchase the remaining interest if the holder of the option determines to exercise.
The Group's put/call options will be settled in cash. The fair value has been calculated based on expected outcome of financial targets for each individual agreement. The estimated expected settlement will vary over time depending on, among other things, the degree of fulfillment of the conditions for the put/call options.
The Group's put/call options are measured at fair value by discounting expected cash flows at a riskadjusted discount rate. Measurement is therefore in accordance with Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Significant unobservable input data consists of forecasted financial targets.

On April 19, 2024, the March 2022 shareholders' agreement between the Embracer Group AB and the noncontrolling interest of Financière Amuse Topco was replaced by a new shareholders' agreement. In application of this agreement the put / call options on the non-controlling interests of Financière Amuse Topco were canceled, for an amount of EUR -78,901 thousand, and the non-controlling interest proceeded at a capital increase in kind in Asmodee Group AB, by contributing the shares they held in Les Nouveaux Amis d'Asmodee SAS and Asmodee III SAS as payment for the newly issued 68,806,658 B shares of Asmodee Group AB (see Note 5.2). As a result of these transactions, the companies Financière Amuse Topco, Les Nouveaux Amis d'Asmodee SAS and Asmodee III SAS are all owned at 100% by Asmodee Group AB. The simultaneous acquisition of non-controlling interest and of the put option cancellation generated a loss of EUR -34,628 thousand (accounted in Retained Earnings). Such a loss represents the difference between the carrying amount of the previously held interest and the consideration paid for the non-controlling interest.
The net change in fair value for the period ending March 31, 2025 relates to the put option related to Exploding Kittens and amounts to EUR -160 thousand. This change in fair value is driven by the net present value calculation for EUR 8,778 thousand (significantly impacted by a revision of the settlement date of the put option); and the put option revaluation for the period for EUR -8,938 thousand (reflecting the decrease in the expected Exploding Kittens operational performance, on which the exercise price of the shares for the put option related is based).
Unrealized gains or losses for put/call options on non-controlling interest amounted to EUR -101,864 thousand, which was recognized in the financial result in the statement of profit or loss. The exercise price of the shares for the put option related to Financière Amuse Topco is based on the Embracer Group AB share value. The revaluation for the period ending March 31, 2024 amounted to EUR -82,432 thousand, and result from the share value of Embracer Group AB decreasing. The exercise price of the shares for the put option related to Exploding Kittens is based on Exploding Kittens operational performance and the decrease recorded on the period ending March 31, 2024 for EUR -19,432 thousand reflects the decrease in its expected performance.
Given the put/call options on non-controlling interest recognized at the end of the reporting period, a higher discount factor of 1.5 percentage points will have an impact on the fair value of the put/call options on noncontrolling interest, as of March 31, 2025, of EUR -3,021 thousand.
See Note 5.
Of the EUR 892,178 thousand of dividends distributed in the period ending March 31, 2025 (See Note 5.4), the distributed dividends to key management personnel amounts to EUR 26,404 thousand.

Pursuant to the consultancy agreement with Plume Finance, a wholly owned company of Marc Nunes, the latter was entitled to an annual remuneration of EUR 931 thousand, and he could receive an additional remuneration of up to fifty percent of the annual remuneration. The consultancy agreement was terminated as per December 31, 2024. The expenses for the consultancy agreement provided by Plume Finance / Marc Nunes, amount to EUR 984 thousand in the period between April 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024.

This interim report for the Parent company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554), Interim reports, and the recommendation issued by The Swedish Corporate Reporting Board RFR 2 "Accounting for legal entities".
The Parent company applies the same accounting policies as the Group with the certain exceptions and additions specified in RFR 2 as listed below. Unless otherwise indicated, the accounting policies stated below for the parent company have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Parent company's financial statements.
The Parent company has previously applied the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the general guideline BFNAR 2012:1 (K3) published by The Swedish Accounting Standards Board. Starting from this interim report and as a consequence of the Group's transition to IFRS, the Parent company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2. The date of transition to RFR 2 is April 1, 2022. For the Parent company's transition to RFR 2 see note P5.
The presentation and accounting currency for the Parent company is currently SEK. The Parent company intends to change presentation and accounting currency to EUR starting on April 1, 2025 as a change of accounting currency is only allowed at the start of a new financial year in accordance with Swedish law. A functional currency is not determined for the company in accordance with RFR 2.
All amounts are presented in millions of SEK ("m.SEK"), unless otherwise indicated. Rounding differences may occur.
Dividends are recognized when the right to receive payment is considered certain. Revenue from divestment of subsidiaries is recognized when control of the subsidiary has been transferred to the acquirer.
The Parent company recognizes both received and paid group contributions as appropriations in the income statement in accordance with the alternative method in RFR 2. Shareholder contributions paid by the Parent company are recognized as an increase of shares in subsidiaries in the Parent company. Shareholder contributions received are recognized as an increase of non-restricted equity
Shares in subsidiaries are recognized in the Parent company in accordance with the cost method. This means that transaction costs are included in the carrying amount of the investment. If carrying amount exceeds the value of the investment, an impairment loss is recognized in the income statement. Shares in subsidiaries are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period. If a previous impairment loss recognized in previous periods no longer exists, it is reversed.
The Parent company applies the exemption to not apply IFRS 9 Financial Instruments in the legal entity. Instead, the Parent company applies, in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, the cost method. In the Parent company, non-current financial assets are thus measured at cost and current financial assets are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Parent company does, however, apply the expected credit loss method (ECL) in accordance with IFRS 9 for financial assets that are debt instruments. Put option liabilities (for the non-controlling interest in the Group) are measured at the amount that the Parent company deems would need to be paid if it was settled at the end of the reporting period. The Parent company applies the exemption to not measure financial guarantee contracts for the benefit of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in accordance with IFRS 9. Instead, the Parent company applies the policies for measurement in IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
Financial assets, including intra-group receivables, are subject to impairment for expected credit losses (ECL). For receivables from Group companies and other items subject of expected credit losses, an impairment method with three stages is applied in accordance with IFRS 9. The Parent company applies a rating-based method for assessment of expected credit losses based on the probability of default, expected loss given default and exposure at default. The Parent company assesses that the subsidiaries currently have similar risk profiles and assessment is made on a collective basis. The assessment has been based on the Asmodee Group's credit risk. At the end of the reporting period, the expected credit losses have resulted in a decrease of receivables from Group companies and an impairment loss in the income statement. Expected credit losses for cash and cash equivalents have not been recognized, as the amount has been deemed insignificant.
Assumptions are made about future conditions to estimate the future cash flows that determine the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is compared with the carrying amount for shares in subsidiaries and forms the basis for any impairments or reversals. The assumptions that primarily affect the recoverable amount are future earnings development and discount rate. If future external factors and conditions change, assumptions made may be affected leading to a change in carrying value of the shares in subsidiaries. The assumptions used when calculating the value for the shares in subsidiaries correspond in all material aspects to the assumptions used in the impairment test for goodwill as described in the consolidated financial statements of Asmodee Group AB as of and for the financial years ending March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

On August 27, 2024, in preparation for the admission of trading of the Asmodee shares on Nasdaq Stockholm, Thomas Kœgler was appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of Asmodee. A Board of Directors for Asmodee Group AB has also been appointed and formed, which consists of:
Each Board member receives a fixed amount of remuneration annually to be paid in equal installments during each quarter. Members of board committees will also receive additional remuneration for those on the audit, sustainability committee and remuneration committees. Total amount of remuneration for the Board of directors during the period is SEK 2 340 thousand. In addition, two members of the Board of directors have received compensation as consultants, which has been paid by a subsidiary to the Parent company.
The Parent company has previously applied the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and BFNAR 2012:1 Annual Accounts and Consolidated Accounts (K3) in the preparation of financial statements. As a result of the Group's transition to IFRS, the Parent company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The date of the Parent company's transition to RFR 2 is April 1, 2022. The accounting policies included in Note P1 have been applied when the interim report is prepared as of March 31, 2025 and for the historical comparative periods presented. The effect of the transition to RFR 2 is recognized directly against unrestricted equity in the opening balance as of April 1, 2022. Previously published financial information for the periods April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023 and April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024, prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and BFNAR 2012:1 (K3), has been converted to RFR 2. As a result of applying the expected credit loss model required by RFR 2 (as defined in IFRS 9) the Parent company has recognized an impairment loss of intercompany receivables for the period April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024 to the amount of SEK 20 million, resulting in an increase in tax income of SEK 4 million. The net
The impact on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 for the Parent company related to the ECL impairment is a reduction of the value of inter-company receivables by SEK 20 million, an increase in deferred tax assets by SEK 4 million and a decrease in unrestricted equity by SEK 16 million.
effect on the profit for the period is SEK -16 million. The effects on other periods are insignificant.
The transition to RFR 2 has had no effect on the parent company's cash flow.
As a result of the Group's transition to IFRS, an impairment need was identified on intellectual properties and goodwill as of March 31, 2024. The identified impairment was an indication to further test shares in subsidiaries for impairment, resulting in an impairment loss of SEK 2 615 million as of March 31, 2024. As the Parent company already had published its annual report, the impairment identified is a correction of error.
| m.SEK | 31 Mar 24 |
|---|---|
| Shares in subsidiaris in the published annual report | 23,101 |
| Impairment | -2,615 |
| Shares in subsidiaries - corrected value | 20,485 |
The impairment loss is recognized as a part of financial net items in the income statement.
Refer to Note 11 Material events after the reporting period..
In accordance with the guidelines from ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority), regarding the disclosure of alternative performance measures, the definition and reconciliation of Asmodee's alternative performance measures (APM's) are presented below. The guidelines entail increased disclosures regarding the financial measures that are not defined by IFRS. The performance measures presented below are reported in this report. They are used for internal control and follow-up. Since not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies.
An important part of Asmodee's strategy is to pursue inorganic growth opportunities through acquisitions, thereby expanding the group's IP portfolio, geographic reach and pool of creative talent. An acquisitive strategy is associated with certain complexity in terms of accounting for business combinations. The board and management of Asmodee believe that it is important to separate the underlying operational performance of the business from impacts arising from acquisitions.
In addition, Asmodee, from time to time, implements strategic programs or initiatives including business restructurings and transformations. In some cases, these initiatives can give rise to one-off costs that are sufficiently material, in the board and management's judgement, to impact the reliable comparison of Asmodee's underlying operating results from period to period.
Certain APM's are thus used to provide internal and external stakeholders the best picture of the underlying operational performance of the business, by the measurement of performance excluding specific items related to historical acquisitions and, when relevant, items affecting comparability
The individual APM's, definitions and purpose are described in more detail in the following table.
