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.
