Announcement no. 09/2017

Copenhagen, 4. April 2017

Hugo Games announces its Annual Report 2016 and expects positive

EBITDA Q4 2017

Hugo Games' attached financials for 2016 with a negative EBITDA of

DKK 16 million reflects;

i) a revised product strategy where focus is shifting away from

endless runner games to multiplayer games characterized by higher

revenues per user, including the upcoming football game with FC

Barcelona, Real Madrid and Arsenal FC. The depreciation and

impairment loss (DKK 29 million) of previous product development is

a natural consequence of the revised product strategy with focus on

other game categories.

ii) disappointing revenues from the Ronaldo game "KickNRun". Even

though the game has received some of the best user reviews ever seen

for an endless runner game, the revenues per user has been

disappointing and reflects the challenging environment for endless

runner games. Given the excellent cooperation with Ronaldo's team so

far, the parties are currently evaluating if there is common ground

for a future cooperation under different terms.

With the revised strategy and upcoming game portfolio, the announced

acquisition of the British game studio Fuzzy Frog with 27 employees

and restructuring of the development studio in Copenhagen, Hugo

Games expects positive EBITDA (before restructuring) in Q4 2017.
