THE HUUUGE, INC. GROUP for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 Warsaw, May 30, 2023
This report was prepared in English and Polish language versions. In the case of any discrepancies, the English version shall prevail as binding.

This constitutes the quarterly report for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 (the "Quarterly Report") prepared in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of March 29, 2018 on current and periodic information published by issuers of securities and the conditions for recognizing information as equivalent required by the law of a non-member state. This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.
Since the separate data for Huuuge, Inc. and the consolidated data for the Huuuge Group are similar (trends are maintained for individual balance sheet and result items), the Board of Directors and Management perform and present a joint analysis for the separate and consolidated data.
Unless implied otherwise in this Quarterly Report, the terms "we" or the "Group", refer to the Company together with all of its subsidiaries and the term the "Company" or "Issuer", refers to Huuuge, Inc.
Unless indicated otherwise, references to statements as to beliefs, expectations, estimates and opinions of the Company or its management refer to the beliefs, expectations, estimates and opinions of the Company's Board of Directors.
Certain arithmetical data contained in this Quarterly Report, including financial and operating information, have been rounded. Therefore, in certain instances, the sum of the numbers in a column or a row in tables contained in this Quarterly Report may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that column or row.
This Quarterly Report may include market share and industry data that we obtained from various third-party sources, including publicly available information concerning global social gaming industries. The information in this Quarterly Report that has been sourced from third parties has been accurately reproduced with reference to these sources in the relevant paragraphs and, as far as we are aware and able to ascertain from the information published by that third party, no facts have been omitted that would render the reproduced information provided inaccurate or misleading. Where third-party information has been sourced in this Quarterly Report, the source of such information has been identified. Industry publications, surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. To the extent these industry publications, surveys and forecasts are accurate and complete, we believe we have correctly extracted and reproduced the information from such sources. Additionally, industry publications generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed and in some instances state that they do not assume liability for such information. We cannot therefore assure you of the accuracy and completeness of such information, and we have not independently verified such information.
In addition, in many cases, statements in this Quarterly Report regarding our industry and our position in the industry are based on our experience and our own investigation of market conditions. Comparisons between our reported financial or operational information and that of other companies operating in our industry using this information may not fully reflect the actual market share or position in the market, as such information may not be defined consistently or reported for all companies from our industry in line with how we define or report such information in this Quarterly Report.
While we are not aware of any mis-statements regarding the industry data presented herein, our estimates involve certain assumptions, risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors.
Certain KPIs included in this Quarterly Report, including DAU, MAU, DPU, MPU, ARPDAU, ARPPU and Monthly Conversion, are derived from management estimates, are not part of our financial statements or financial accounting records and have not been audited or otherwise reviewed by independent auditors, consultants or experts.
Our use or computations of these KPIs may not be comparable to the use or computations of similarly titled measures reported by other companies in our industry, by research agencies or by market reports. For that reason, comparisons using this information may not be reliable. Other companies, research agencies or market reporters may include other items or factors in their calculation of similar metrics and may use certain estimates and assumptions that we do not use when calculating these metrics. These factors may cause the calculations by others of similar metrics to differ substantially from our calculations if their methodologies were used to calculate our KPIs. The KPIs are not accounting measures, but management believes that each of these measures provides useful information concerning the usage and monetization patterns of our games, as well as the costs associated with attracting and retaining our players. None of the KPIs should be considered in isolation or as an alternative measure of performance under IFRS, and their inclusion in this Quarterly Report does not mean that the Issuer will continue to report these KPIs in the future.
The Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements, which include all statements other than statements of historical facts, including, without limitation, any statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words "targets," "believes," "expects," "aims," "intends," "will," "may," "anticipates," "would," "could" or similar expressions or the negative thereof. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors beyond our control that could cause our actual results of operations, financial condition or prospects to materially differ from any of those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding our present and future business strategies and the environment in which we currently operate and will operate in the future. These forward-looking statements speak only as at the date of the Quarterly Report. We have no obligation and have made no undertaking to disseminate any updates of or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report unless we are required to do so under the applicable laws.
Investors should be aware that several important factors and risks may cause our actual results of operations to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements.

Dear Shareholders, Team Huuuge,
With great pleasure I present to you our comprehensive report, highlighting the remarkable progress we have made during the first three months of 2023. In the last quarter, our adjusted EBITDA nearly doubled compared to the previous year, achieving an all-time high in adjusted EBITDA profitability. This accomplishment sets a new record for Huuuge.
The mobile gaming sector is continuing its realignment to the changing macro and market realities, and the Social Casino category revenue declined by 1.7% YoY in Q1 2023, according to Eilers & Krejcik. In that environment, our operational priority is to focus on continued cash generation and longevity of our core franchises. We are expanding our VIP activities so that we can better serve and retain our most valuable players. We are also broadening the reach of our direct-to-consumer offering. This, serving our players directly, enhances our customer relationships and helps us improve our business margins.
In the first quarter of 2023, we initiated multiple programmes aimed at improving our business fundamentals. We concluded the collective redundancies at Huuuge Games sp. z o.o. and also reduced our headcount across our other subsidiaries. These challenging measures have resulted in a projected reduction of approximately 20% in our overall headcount at the group level compared to the end of 2022 and will yield substantial cost savings on an annual basis, reinforcing our financial position. We will provide more information on the financial impact of these initiatives in our H1 2023 report. As part of these changes, we downsized and reorganized our Marketing department. The new marketing team is built to perform in the current market environment. The key is to be highly analytical and professionally disciplined in our marketing spending, focusing on the most profitable channels and campaigns. Lastly, we sunset the Traffic Puzzle studio and put the game in maintenance mode. This step allows us to allocate resources more effectively towards other projects and initiatives that align with our long-term objectives.
In Q1 2023, we created four small-sized agile units – internal teams called "Huuuge Pods" – as part of our long-term commitment to building new products. Huuuge Pods will fully focus on the development of new games, leveraging our strengths and reflecting market conditions. Specifically, these games will possess the following attributes: (1) Multiplayer multiplatform games with natural word-of-mouth distribution and universal appeal. (2) Games that feature highly shareable moments. (3) Games with socially-oriented long-term retention drivers. (4) Games developed with a community-based approach.
Yes, multiplayer multiplatform means that Huuuge is expanding beyond just mobile – and some new titles are being developed and will be launched as PC / Steam first before mobile. While development works are still at an early stage, we expect a few titles to go into tech (and possibly soft) launch in H2 2023.
Market-development-wise, we see interesting future opportunities in real money skill gaming and, generally said, Huuuge remains open and is actively exploring M&A, partnerships, publishing and licensing opportunities where our existing assets and core competencies could be leveraged (brand, audience, know-how).
We believe that our actions, ongoing focus on cash generation and core business fundamentals, as well as our capital allocation decisions such as the planned share buyback (SBB), will be appreciated by our shareholders. For me, these actions speak of the significant value potential and upside of the company that we plan to deliver in the months and years to come.
As always, we value your feedback and hope that you will continue to play our games. Team Huuuge looks forward to continuing to play together with you.
Best regards,
Anton Gauffin, CEO – Huuuge, Inc.

The Group's business activities are not subject to significant seasonal or cyclical trends.

Directors have annual terms of duty and serve until the successors are duly elected. The preference shareholders have the right to appoint certain directors.
As at December 31, 2022, the composition of the Company's Board of Directors was the following:
Effective on March 7, 2023, Mr. Rod Cousens, co-CEO, and the Company reached a mutual agreement to end Mr. Cousens's executive service with the Company. Mr. Cousens remains a member of the Issuer's Board of Directors. As a result, Mr. Anton Gauffin remains the sole Chief Executive Officer of the Company. After these changes, as at March 31, 2023 and as at the date of signing of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the composition of the Company's Board of Directors was the following:
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 have been prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosure required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS").
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 were approved on May 30, 2023 by the Board of Directors.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis.
The EU IFRS include all International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations as approved by the European Union. As at the date of approving these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for publication, considering the pending process of introducing IFRSs in the EU and the operations conducted by the Group, the EU IFRS applicable to these financial statements might differ from IFRS adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.
In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group's management has analyzed new Standards that have already been adopted by the European Union and that should be applied for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.
These standards and amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022, except for the adoption of new standards effective as at January 1, 2023. The Group has not early-adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2023 but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group. In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements and estimates made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Group and are consistent across the reported periods.
Huuuge's business, development and sales of casual games for mobile platforms is global, and both games and sales channels are the same, regardless of where the players (customers) are located. Management measures and monitors the Group's revenue in respect of each game, but does not allocate all costs, assets and liabilities by game and does not measure the operating results by game. In management's view, the operations and the Group's financial performance and position cannot be divided into different segments in such a way that it improves the ability to analyze and manage the Group. As at March 31, 2023 the CEO is the Chief operating decision-maker and for this reason, the CEO analyzes the consolidated financial position and

operating results of the Group as a whole; therefore, it has been determined that the Group has only one operating segment ("online mobile games").
The Group's management monitors operating results on a group-wide basis for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.
The Group's revenue from contracts with clients is comprised of revenue generated by in-app purchases (gaming applications) and in-app ads (advertising), as shown below:
| Three-month period ended March 31, 2023 Unaudited |
Three-month period ended March 31, 2022 Unaudited |
|
|---|---|---|
| Gaming applications | 70,626 | 80,568 |
| Advertising | 1,120 | 3,433 |
| Total revenue | 71,746 | 84,001 |
The Group's revenue is recognized over time, irrespective of product or geographical region.
For the gaming services, the transaction price is prepaid by the customers when virtual coins are purchased to allow continuation of the game; the payments result in the recognition of the contract liability in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position. The amounts recognized as deferred income are recognized as revenue within an average of two days.
For the gaming service, the amount recognized as deferred income as at the balance sheet date also represents the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of the end of the reporting period.
For advertising, the Group does not disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of the end of the reporting period using the practical expedient allowed under IFRS 15, i.e., the Group has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity's performance completed to date.
Below is the split of the revenue per main product groups:
| Three-month period ended March 31, 2023 Unaudited |
Three-month period ended March 31, 2022 Unaudited |
|
|---|---|---|
| Huuuge Casino | 45,215 | 48,407 |
| Billionaire Casino | 22,781 | 25,563 |
| Traffic Puzzle | 3,104 | 8,585 |
| Other games | 646 | 1,446 |
| – including games developed by external developers based on publishing contracts |
58 | 296 |
| Total revenue | 71,746 | 84,001 |
The Group distributes in-house games as well as games developed by other companies. In most cases, the Group is the owner of the application and is fully responsible for future upgrades and future developments of the game application. Nevertheless, in some cases, the Group publishes mobile game applications of third-party developers based on publishing contracts. The publishing contract provides the Group with an exclusive right to distribution, marketing and operation of games developed by external developers and to benefit from selling virtual coins to end users. The Group has the ultimate responsibility for providing the game to the customer and it is entitled to set prices for virtual coins charged to the end user and to authorize upgrades and modifications to games.
Huuuge, Inc. interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. All amounts in tables presented in thousand USD, except where stated otherwise.
These arguments support the Management conclusion that, in the publishing arrangements, control over games developed by third-party developers has been transferred to the Group. Therefore, in such a situation, the Group, being the customer of the developers, acts as a principal in its relation to the players and presents in-app revenue on a gross basis, i.e., in the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for making the games available to end users.
Revenue was generated in the following countries:
| Three-month period ended March 31, 2023 Unaudited |
Three-month period ended March 31, 2022 Unaudited |
|
|---|---|---|
| United States | 42,088 | 49,499 |
| Germany | 5,583 | 6,168 |
| Canada | 2,094 | 2,396 |
| France | 2,075 | 2,150 |

| Poland | 1,518 | 1,629 |

| Taiwan | 667 | 1,123 |
| Austria | 511 | 621 |
| Other | 7,144 | 8,637 |
| Total revenue | 71,746 | 84,001 |
The above is the management's best estimate, as no geographical breakdown is available for some revenue sources. The allocation to regions is driven by the location of individual end-user customers. No individual end-user customer with whom the Group concludes transactions had a share of 10% or more in the Group's total revenues in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 or March 31, 2022. The vast majority of revenues is generated by several platform providers, such as Apple App Store, Google Play, Facebook and Amazon App Store, as well as directly through Webshop for VIP players.
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, the operating expenses comprise:

When selling the mobile game applications of third-party developers, the Group is obliged to pay fees to external developers, mostly determined as variable payments dependent on the level of turnover and cumulative gains generated from selling the game. Although the publishing contracts provide the Group with an exclusive right to use the games, the usage of these games is contingent on the future services that need to be provided by the external developers and that are the subject of the Group's authorization and consent. In accordance with the publishing contracts, the external developers are obliged to perform the on-going development of the game and improvements to increase its functionalities, as well as maintenance services. As a result, the contracts with external developers are a partially executory arrangement, as the future developments do not exist at the contract inception and no liability to the contractor arises until the contractor performs work under the contract, i.e. the services specified in the contracts with external developers are performed. However, the fees agreed by the Group and developers in these arrangements are set usually in relation to the whole bunch of the promises included in a contract, i.e. there is no relevant split of the consideration between the purchase price paid for the right to use a game and the future additional services (development operations and maintenance services). The Group is not able to reliably distinguish the expenditures incurred in relation to the right to the game (i.e., the license) from the payment for the development operations and maintenance services. Therefore, the expenditures incurred by the Group in relation to the publishing arrangements are charged to the profit and loss as incurred, with no liability recognized at the date of signing the contract. Accordingly, developers' fees related to publishing contracts are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive income in the line "Research and development expenses".
The future monthly expenditure related to the publishing contracts that were in force as at March 31, 2023 amounts to USD 120 thousand (USD 144 thousand as at March 31, 2022). The above commitments comprise the fixed fees contracted in the publishing arrangements and do not include the variable payments that are based on future cash flows from selling the games nor the future development fees subject to the specific arrangements and agreements between parties regarding the scope of services.

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, finance income amounted to USD 1,588 thousand, which comprises mainly interest income on deposits, money market mutual funds accounts, and money market interest-bearing accounts, including interest accrued in the amount of USD 59 thousand and net foreign exchange gains in the amount USD 83 thousand.
In the three-months period ended March 31, 2022 finance income amounted to USD 165 thousand, including net foreign exchange gains in the amount USD 163 thousand and interest income in the amount of USD 2 thousand.
In the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, finance expense includes the interest expense in the amount of USD 81 thousand, which comprises mainly interest expense recognized under IFRS 16 on lease liabilities.
In the three-months period ended March 31, 2022 finance expense included interest expense in the amount of USD 95 thousand, which comprises interest expense recognized under IFRS 16 on lease liabilities, as well as interest expense from banks.

The subsidiary companies are subject to taxes for their respective businesses in the countries of their registration at the rates prevailing in those jurisdictions. Income tax expense is recognized based on management's estimate of the weighted average effective annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year.
The average tax rate used for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 is 13.9%, compared to 16.9% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. The tax rate was lower in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 mainly due to the lower proportion of non-tax deductible costs in comparison to the prior period, i.e., costs related to the employee stock option plan ("ESOP") to profit before tax. The above effect was offset by the changes introduced to the US tax treatment of research and development costs. US taxpayers are required to capitalize and amortize costs related to research and development activities for tax purposes. The changes resulted in lower tax-deductible costs in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 and consequently higher global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI").

No indicators for impairment were identified as at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 in relation to intangible assets other than IP rights as described below. As at March 31, 2023, and as at the date of approval of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for issue, there were no pledges or collaterals on the Group's intangible assets.
Prepayments for intangible assets relate to the payments made on development of supporting tools (i.e., software).
In 2021, the Traffic Puzzle game (together with related rights and assets) was acquired for the amount of USD 38,900 thousand (with purchase price being repaid in tranches, and fully repaid as at December 31, 2022). The transaction resulted in recognition of an intangible asset in the amount of USD 38,900 thousand that has been classified as an asset with definite useful life. Based on the analysis of all relevant factors, the useful life of the acquired asset has been estimated as ten years.
As at December 31, 2022, the value of the IP rights associated with the Traffic Puzzle game was tested for impairment, where the results of this test indicated a loss to the asset's value. Accordingly, the book value of the Traffic Puzzle game asset was
Huuuge, Inc. interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. All amounts in tables presented in thousand USD, except where stated otherwise.

reduced by USD 26,087 thousand; as a result, the net book value of the Traffic Puzzle game as at December 31, 2022 amounted to USD 6,330 thousand.
The impairment loss was recognised in the line "Impairment of intangible assets" in the Group's consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Traffic Puzzle game remained live and available to players and is expected to continue generating revenue. Due to the fact that there were no plans to incur any further material user acquisition and development expenses on the title as at December 31, 2022, the economic useful life of the game was reassessed, and was estimated as the period of four years effective from January 1, 2023. This change is the change of accounting estimate; therefore, it is recognized prospectively, starting from the effective date of the change. As a result of the reassessment, the amortization charge for the period and future periods was changed.

Huuuge, Inc. interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. All amounts in tables presented in thousand USD, except where stated otherwise.

The Company is authorized to issue up to 113,881,420 shares with a par value of USD 0.00002 (113,881,418 common shares and 1 share of series A preference share and 1 share of series B preference share).
As at March 31, 2023, 3,697,929 shares were allocated to a reserve that could be issued only with majority shareholders' approval (1,856,090 as at March 31, 2022).
As at March 31, 2023, the share capital of the Company comprised 84,246,697 shares (fully paid) with a par value of USD 0.00002 per share and the total value of USD 1,686 (not thousands), including 79,623,348 common shares held by shareholders, two preference shares (one preference share of series A and one preference share of series B) and 4,623,347 common shares reacquired by the Company and not redeemed (treasury shares and treasury shares allocated to the existing share-based payment programs).
As at March 31, 2022, the share capital of the Company comprised 84,246,697 shares (fully paid) with a par value of USD 0.00002 per share and a total value of USD 1,686 (not thousands), including 82,771,117 common shares held by shareholders, two preference shares (one preference share of series A and one preference share of series B) and 1,475,578 common shares reacquired by the Company and not redeemed (treasury shares and treasury shares allocated for the existing share-based payment programs).
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, the number of shares (not issued) allocated to the existing share-based payment programs was reduced by 439,835 shares. This is because 439,835 treasury shares were delivered to employees for the options exercised during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. As at March 31, 2023, 10,567,898 shares with a par value of USD 0.00002 per share were reserved for two stock option programs established in 2015 and 2019.
As at March 31, 2022, 12,409,737 shares with a par value of USD 0.00002 per share were reserved for two stock option programs established in 2015 and 2019.
Holders of the two series A and series B preference shares, which may be converted for a fixed number of common shares, have several rights additional to the ones of the common shareholders, which may vary for series A and B). These rights are stipulated in the corporate documents of Huuuge, Inc., in particular in the Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Essentially, the rights refer to:
As at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no shareholder owned over 50% of the Company's equity or had more than 50% of voting rights. The Company's major shareholder is Mr. Anton Gauffin, CEO and President, who participates in the Company's ordinary shares indirectly (through shares of Big Bets OU).
The supplementary capital derives mainly from the difference between nominal value and the market price on issuance of shares, or the difference between the book value and purchase price on re-issue of treasury shares.
In the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, the following transactions in common and preference shares took place:
In the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, 839,748 share options held by employees under the share-based payment program were exercised, out of which for 439,835 options exercised treasury shares were delivered to employees before March 31, 2023 (the difference is due to cashless exercises).
The delivery of treasury shares was presented as a movement from treasury shares to common shares. The movement resulted in an increase in share capital in the amount of the nominal value of the shares delivered, and the difference between the value
Huuuge, Inc. interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. All amounts in tables presented in thousand USD, except where stated otherwise.

of treasury shares and the cash consideration received in the amount of USD 2,229 thousand was recognized in supplementary capital. At the same time, the movement decreased the number of shares (not issued) allocated to the existing share-based payment programs.
In the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, the following transactions in common and preference shares took place:
On February 15, 2022, the Group decided to repurchase its common shares listed for trading on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The share buy-back started on March 29, 2022. The purpose of the Share Buyback Scheme was to satisfy the Group's needs related to the exercise of options under its Employee Stock Option Plans in the foreseeable future. The common shares repurchased were presented in treasury shares line in the statement of financial position. There were no shares registered at the Central Securities Depository as at March 31, 2022. Payments made for the purchase of own shares under the buy-back program before March 31, 2022 were recognized in Equity (Treasury shares) in the amount of USD 307 thousand.
In the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, 553,314 share options held by the employees under the share-based payment program were exercised, out of which for 57,724 options exercised treasury shares were delivered to employees before March 31, 2022. (The difference is due to cashless exercises and number of options exercised but not delivered as at March 31, 2022.)
The delivery of treasury shares was presented as a movement from treasury shares to common shares. The movement resulted in an increase in share capital in the amount of nominal value of the shares delivered, and the difference between the value of treasury shares and the cash consideration received in the amount of USD 794 thousand was recognized in supplementary capital. At the same time, the movement decreased the number of shares (not issued) allocated for the existing share-based payment programs.
In the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, 23,046 shares were delivered to the former owners of Double Star Oy based on the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement, corrected by the First Amendment dated October 19, 2021. The movement resulted in an increase in share capital in the amount of nominal value of the shares delivered and a decrease in supplementary capital in the amount of USD 311 thousand (amount reflects the value of treasury shares, since the shares were delivered with no cash consideration).
A detailed description of the Group's equity share-based payment program, i.e. ESOP, and a fair value measurement of the employee share options are presented in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Movements in share options since the first grant date were as follows (weighted average exercise prices are presented in USD, not in thousand USD):

* The weighted average exercise prices in the table above are prior to the modification that took place after March 31, 2022.
As at March 31, 2023, 887,638 share options were exercisable, with the weighted average exercise price of USD 3.20 per share. As at March 31, 2022, 2,884,194 share options were exercisable, with the weighted average exercise price of USD 3.13 per share.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, 839,748 options were exercised under the share-based payment program, out of which, 439,835 treasury shares were delivered (the difference of 399,913 options is due to cashless exercises). Cash payments received for the shares delivered to employees before March 31, 2023 amounted to USD 149 thousand. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, 553,314 options were exercised in total under the share-based payment program, out of which 57,724 treasury shares were delivered for 62,167 options exercised (the difference of 4,443 options is due to cashless exercises). Cash payments received for the shares delivered to employees before March 31, 2022 amounted to USD 109 thousand, and for the shares that were pending delivery to employees as at March 31, 2022, cash payments amounted to USD 1,465 thousand.
Other than the share-based payment arrangements described above, as a result of the acquisition that took place on July 16, 2020, the Group accounted for the earn-out consideration payable in shares dependent on a performance condition and a continuing employment condition as a share-based payment for the sellers of Double Star Oy. On February 21, 2022, 23,046 treasury shares were delivered to the former owners of Double Star Oy as presented in Note 13 Share capital. As at March 31, 2023, it is not expected that additional shares, except for those delivered, would vest under earn-out consideration.
Total expense related to share-based payment arrangements, which includes cost recognised for the period as well as the cost derecognition when the service condition is not met for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, amounted to USD 55 thousand (USD 1,089 thousand for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022). This expense includes Mr. Anton Gauffin's options and the options payable to a consultant under the advisory agreement in the total amount of USD 143 thousand (USD 129 thousand for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022), which are both explained in detail further below.
These costs were allocated to Sales and marketing expenses, Research and development expenses and General and administrative expenses lines in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
The remuneration of Mr. Anton Gauffin, holding the positions of the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, for the period ending at the 2022 Annual General Meeting of the Company, consisted solely of 500,000 share options, out of which 75,000 had a vesting condition to provide the service continuously for about four years from the service commencement date and to meet 2021 EBITDA target. These options were forfeited in 2022 as the performance condition was not met. All options can be exercised at a price of PLN 50, i.e., the price of the Company's shares in the initial public offering.
The vesting conditions for the options are the following:
Similar to other share-based payments in the Group, for this program, staged vesting applies, i.e., each installment has a different vesting period and is treated as a separate award with a different vesting period.
Based on the contract executed on September 27, 2021, beginning from January 3, 2022 until October 31, 2024, the advisor shall provide to the Company's CEO consulting services for the consideration payable in options, i.e., options to purchase 206,250 shares in total vesting on a straight-line basis during the period of the agreement. This is a transaction with a non-employee, and the Group measures the fair value of the services received and the corresponding increase in equity indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted when the services are performed.
The Group is committed to making payments for leases based on office space rental agreements and car fleet agreements. The Group entities have also concluded contracts regarding low-value office equipment, such as coffee machines.
Lease agreements are usually concluded for definite periods of time that vary according to the class of the underlying asset and specific needs. Some of the contracts include extension or termination options – the Group's management exercises judgment in determining whether these options are reasonably certain to be exercised.

In the interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Group classifies:
The Group had total cash outflows due to leases of USD 1,177 thousand in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 and USD 1,202 thousand in the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.
The Group entities have entered several arrangements to sublease leased office spaces to a third party while the original lease contract is in effect. In these arrangements, the Group entities act as both lessee and lessor of the same underlying asset. For the sublease arrangements classified as an operating lease in accordance with the criteria of IFRS 16, the Group continues to account for the lease liability and right-of-use asset on the head lease like any other lease. For the sublease arrangements qualified as a finance lease in accordance with the criteria of IFRS 16, the Group derecognizes the right-of-use asset on the head lease at the sublease commencement date and continues to account for the original lease liability in accordance with the lessee accounting model.
The income from the operating lease amounting to USD 490 thousand is presented in the line "Other operating income/(expense), net" in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The lease receivable from the finance lease amounted to USD 781 thousand as at March 31, 2023.

Tax settlements are subject to review and investigation by tax authorities, which are entitled to impose severe fines, penalties and interest charges. Tax regulations in the United States, Poland and Israel, which apart from Cyprus constitute the main operating environments of the Group, have been changing recently, which may lead to them lacking clarity and integrity. Furthermore, frequent contradictions in tax interpretations in Poland, both within government bodies and between companies and government bodies, create uncertainties and conflicts. These facts create tax risks that are substantially more significant than those typically found in countries with more developed tax systems.
Tax authorities may examine accounting records retrospectively: for three years in the United States (and up to six years in case of substantial errors), five years in Poland, seven years in Cyprus (and up to 12 years in case of substantial errors) and seven years in Israel. Consequently, the Parent Company and subsidiaries may be subject to additional tax liabilities, which may arise as a result of tax audits. The Board of Directors of the Parent Company believes that there was no need to record any provisions for known and quantifiable risks in this regard, as, in their assessment, there are no such uncertain tax positions for which it would be probable that the taxation authority will not accept the tax treatment applied by the Group.
On March 7, 2023, loan agreements were signed between subsidiaries wholly owned by Huuuge Inc. and the two members of the Group Executive Management team. Based on the agreements, the two members of the Group Executive Management team received the loans in the total amount equivalent to USD 213 thousand, both for a six-month period at a market interest rate.
There were no transactions with related parties during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.
There is no ultimate controlling party.
Compensation of key management personnel of the Group is the compensation of key management personnel of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries.

The amounts presented for the period ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 reflect the change in composition of the executive management team during the three-month period.
On March 7, 2023, an agreement was concluded between the Company and Mr. Rod Cousens governing his board service and executive service as co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company during the current board term, providing for a 12-month early notice period for termination. This agreement terminated Mr. Rod Cousens's executive service by mutual agreement, the Company confirmed Mr. Cousens's entitlement to payment in lieu of advance notice; this payment is included in the compensation of key management personnel presented above.
Generally, share-based payment remuneration includes cost recognized during the period in accordance with the vesting schedule, as well as cost derecognition when a member of the executive management team ends the tenure with the Company, i.e., when the service condition is not met. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, the cost recognized amounted
Huuuge, Inc. interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. All amounts in tables presented in thousand USD, except where stated otherwise.

to USD 327 thousand and there was no cost reversal (USD 751 thousand cost recognized and USD 186 thousand of cost derecognized during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022).
During the three-month period ended 31 March 2023, members of the Board of Directors and Executive Management team exercised 509,057 options (8,360 options during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022).
Generally, the non-executive directors are remunerated with a fixed annual salary and an additional salary for holding a position of president of the Audit Committee or the Remuneration and Nomination Committee or being a member of the Audit Committee or the Remuneration and Nomination. For additional information about recommendations from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee on executive and non-executive compensation, please refer to Note 14 Share-based payment arrangements. Apart from the above, in the three month period ended March 31, 2023, non-executive directors were remunerated for being members of the special committee for the process of reviewing the strategic options.
On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared a global COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and recommended preventive measures such as physical social distancing. Consequently, governments worldwide implemented unprecedented restrictions. The impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak have evolved from mid-March 2020 up to the day of issuing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Group's management constantly monitors specific facts and circumstances and the financial results. Neither the video game industry as a whole, nor the Group's operations in particular, have been adversely affected by the pandemic, and there is no going concern issue. The Group proved to be resilient to the lockdown; operations have been maintained with employees working remotely, and online gaming's popularity is on the rise, with many people globally adhering to social distancing guidelines.
The positive operating result for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 indicates that the COVID-19 pandemic had no negative impact on the Group's business.
Based on the analyses performed by the Group's management as at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic has had no negative impact on the Group's liquidity. Due to the fact that the Group's receivables are settled by large platform providers, such as Apple App Store, Google Play, Facebook and Amazon App Store, the Group's management assessed the risk of receivables irrecoverability as minimal. The Group's management has not identified any evidence to modify the assumptions used to assess expected credit losses.
On February 24, 2022, Russian troops crossed the eastern, southern and northern borders of Ukraine, attacking Ukraine. In connection with the hostilities by Russia, the representatives of the European Union imposed sanctions on Russia. The Company also made the decision to stop distribution of new games in Russia and Belarus. The ongoing war in Ukraine should not have a material impact on Huuuge's performance and operations. Huuuge has analyzed and is continuously monitoring the impact of the political and economic situation in Ukraine on its and the Group's operations and financial results. The Company is not able to reliably determine the impact that the situation in Ukraine will have on the state of the European economy and, consequently, on the activity of the Group.
Starting from March 10, 2022, due to payment system disruption, Google Play informed about a pause in Google Play's billing system for users in Russia. This means that up until the date of this report, users are not able to purchase apps and games, make subscription payments or conduct any in-app purchases of digital goods using Google Play in Russia.
After March 31, 2023 and up to the date of approval of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for issue, no significant events have occurred.

Huuuge shares have been listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange since February 2021.
Huuuge develops and publishes games that are easy to play, great for small breaks and longer sessions alike, and designed around our social-first, "play together" ethos. The social-first nature of our games is based primarily upon the ability of our players to chat, play and compete with one another in-game and in real time. The concept of playing together with others is central to the Group's approach to game design. We are one of the market leaders in implementing real-time multiplayer mechanics at scale in social casino games.
Our core franchises are Huuuge Casino and Billionaire Casino. Together, they generate 95% of Huuuge's total revenues. Our new franchises generate 5% of total revenues and include different titles at various stages of their life cycle.

Huuuge Casino: The game was launched in June 2015. It is Huuuge's flagship title responsible for 63% of total Q1 2023 revenue and for over USD 1.1 billion in lifetime revenue. Huuuge Casino was a true pioneer with its mobile-first user experience and real-time PvP-style gameplay. We believe that it was the first social casino game to introduce features such as clubs to the realm of social casino games. Huuuge Casino offers players over 100 casino slot machines, as well as card games and roulette. The game enables players to join a club and compete in a Billionaire League, with multiplayer slots where they can play with friends and compete against each other. Huuuge Casino is ranked #20 (Apple App Store) and #10 (Google Play) among social casino apps in the United States in terms of revenue as at March 31, 2023.


Billionaire Casino: The game was launched in October 2016. Its revenue has grown rapidly since its release. It has achieved over USD 530 million of lifetime revenue and constitutes 32% of our total Q1 2023 revenues. Due to its aesthetic, which is different from that of Huuuge Casino, Billionaire Casino is targeted at a different player base in terms of demographics. Similar to Huuuge Casino, Billionaire Casino offers players a number of casino slot machines, as well as card games and roulette. Billionaire Casino allows players to create a club with their friends or join a club and meet new people while playing slot machines. In addition, the game allows players to participate in club events by playing slots and other casino games. Billionaire Casino is ranked #30 (App Store) and #21 (Google Play) among social casino apps in the United States in terms of revenue as at March 31, 2023.
In Q1 2023, we created four small internal teams, called "Pods", responsible for agile prototyping and development of new games. Their exploration is focused on new games with attributes that play to our strengths and reflect market conditions, namely:
We need to acknowledge the market reality and go beyond just mobile – several titles are being developed with launch as PC Steam free-to-play games first and then potentially mobile free-to-play.
While development works are still at an early stage, we expect a few titles to go into tech (and possibly soft) launch in H2 2023.

The remuneration of Mr. Anton Gauffin, holding the positions of the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, for the period ending at the 2022 Annual General Meeting of the Company, consisted solely of 500,000 share options out of which 75,000 had a vesting condition to provide the service continuously for about four years from the service commencement date and to meet the 2021 EBITDA target. These options were forfeited in 2022 as the performance condition was not met.
The vesting conditions for the remaining options are the following:
Similarly to other share-based payments in the Group, for this program, staged vesting applies, i.e., each installment has a different vesting period and is treated as a separate award with a different vesting period.

On March 7, 2023. Rod Cousens stepped down as Co-Director General of the Group, he remains a member of the Board of Directors of Huuuge, Inc. as a non-executive director.
On February 15, 2023 (as announced in our Current Report 4/2023) we concluded the announced review of strategic options for the future of the Company. At the conclusion of the review, the board took the view that, at the present time, the correct strategy for the company is to remain a publicly listed company on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. In parallel, the board adopted the recommendation from the special committee and announced plans to allocate up to USD 150 million for the purpose of conducting a share buyback. Following an update in our Current Report 10/2023, the ongoing preparatory work on the SBB continued to the day of the publication of this report.
We made significant changes in our operating setup throughout Q1 2023, namely:
As a result of the above initiatives, our headcount at the Group level should be ~20% lower than the level at the end of 2022. This will generate material cost savings on an annualized basis and we will inform about the full extent of the financial impact of said initiatives in our H1 2023 report. Q1 2023 costs related to the headcount reductions amounted to USD 1,552 thousand. We have also streamlined and flattened our organizational structure, having merged our Technology and Content teams into the Huuuge Casino Studio.
We are actively looking at reducing complexity and improving processes across the whole organization, both in our core revenue-generating activities and in supporting functions.
On March 10, 2023, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") announced that the Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, and the FDIC was appointed as receiver. To protect insured depositors, the FDIC created the Deposit Insurance National Bank of Santa Clara (DINB). At the time of closing, the FDIC as receiver immediately transferred to the DINB all the insured deposits of Silicon Valley Bank.
On March 12, 2023, a joint statement was released by the US Secretary of the Treasury, Federal Reserve Board Chair and the FDIC Chairman informing that the US Secretary of the Treasury approved actions enabling the FDIC to complete its resolution of Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, California, in a manner that fully protects all depositors. On March 13, 2023, The FDIC transferred all deposits, both insured and uninsured, and substantially all the assets of the former Silicon Valley Bank of Santa Clara, California, to a newly created, full-service FDIC-operated 'bridge bank' in an action designed to protect all depositors of Silicon Valley Bank. Depositors and borrowers automatically became customers of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A.
As announced in our Current Report 8/2023, our exposure to the bank as at 11 March 2023 amounted to USD 24.2 million held at SVB, USD 14.2 million held in operating accounts and money market accounts, and USD 10.0 million held in money market funds. We published an update in Current Report 11/2023 stating that we regained access to our funds and moved substantially all assets out of SVB. Since then, our exposure to the bank has remained immaterial.
We have witnessed another quarter of QoQ decline in our Core franchises' user base and a single digit QoQ decline in Core revenue. However, sales profit on our core portfolio remained essentially flat QoQ (and sales profit margin increased QoQ) as a result of optimized UA spend. Continued cash generation and longevity of the core franchises are our operational priority. We also continue to expand our direct-to-consumer offering (Webshop), which allows us to further improve our margins.
In Q1 2023 we created four small internal teams, called "Pods", responsible for agile prototyping and development of new games. Their exploration is focused on new games with attributes that play to our strengths and reflect market conditions, namely: (1) Multiplayer games with natural word-of-mouth distribution; (2) Games with highly shareable moments; (3) Socially-oriented long-term retention drivers; (4) Games with high accessibility and universal appeal; (5) Language and platform agnostic. We need to acknowledge the market reality and go beyond just mobile – several titles are being developed with launch as PC Steam free-to-play games first and then potentially mobile free-to-play. While development works are still at an early stage, we expect a few titles to go into tech (and possibly soft) launch in H2 2023.
As far as market dynamics are concerned, Eilers & Krejcik estimate that the social casino market declined 1.7% YoY in Q1 2023 (and grew +1.7% QoQ). The long-term forecast (last revised in Q2 2022) remained unchanged, with the social casino market expected to decline at a 0.2% CAGR in 2022-25E (with a USD 7.4 billion market by 2025). Eilers & Krejcik forecast the category to decline by 0.7% YoY in 2023.
User acquisition expenses were adapted to support the new, post-IDFA reality, such that budgets have been shifted to partners with better post-change performance, and overall spend has been reduced, with a focus instead on monetizing and retaining our large captive audience. Additionally, we have focused on driving greater profitability through other initiatives, such as rolling out an expanded VIP program and moving to new payment channels (Webshop). From a marketing perspective, we have increasingly focused on how we do things, making measurement and a single source of truth central to our goals. Leveraging technology to drive adoption of new measurement methods such as incrementality has become crucial to operating a successful marketing organization. We have further reduced our overall UA spend QoQ, both for our Core franchises and for Traffic Puzzle, where the marketing spend is now immaterial and focused only on retargeting inactive players.
In 2021, the debate on international taxation focused on the concepts of digital taxation and minimum taxation. The course of the debate also impacted the shape of the income tax reform in the United States that commenced in 2021. Among other things, we see the following changes in US taxation as potentially affecting the Group: (i) the increase in the federal corporate tax rate; (ii) revisions to the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), and (iii) lower deduction against the global minimum tax in Internal Revenue Code Section 250. The discussed changes in the GILTI rate or the GILTI calculation mechanism may negatively impact the Group's effective tax rate (ETR). Taking into account currently available information, the most impactful changes may be implemented starting from 2023 and from 2024, according to General Explanations of the Administration's Fiscal Year 2024 Revenue Proposals. The implementation of these rules in their current form would negatively impact the global effective tax rate of the Group and may have a negative impact on our financial results.
Except for events and factors described in the Financial and KPI sections, there were no other unusual events with an impact on the Issuer's financial results.

When evaluating our business, we consider the KPIs presented and discussed in this section. Each of these KPIs is defined below:
Our revenue is principally driven by DAU, ARPPU and conversion rates. We monitor our user acquisition costs using measures such as ROAS (Return On Ad Spend), but, given that these metrics are commercially sensitive, we do not disclose or discuss them in this report.
In Q1 2023, we re-classified some legacy games that are no longer actively supported and generate immaterial revenue. In previous reports we have presented them as "New franchises", while they have now been moved to the "Other" category. In order to ensure apples-to-apples comparability of data, the charts and tables below reflect a new layout for past periods as well. As for our "Core franchises", the KPI data remains unchanged vs prior reports.
The table below presents our KPIs for Q1 2023 and Q1 2022 for the Group and "core franchises," i.e., Huuuge Casino and Billionaire Casino.
| All games | Core franchises Huuuge Casino and Billionaire Casino |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KPI | Q1 2023 | Q1 2022 | Q1 2023 | Q1 2022 |
| DAU (in thousands) | 468.395 | 701.620 | 344.143 | 428.174 |
| DPU (in thousands) | 17.814 | 24.951 | 15.843 | 19.788 |
| ARPDAU (in USD) | 1.70 | 1.33 | 2.19 | 1.92 |
| ARPPU (in USD) | 43.95 | 35.87 | 47.63 | 41.48 |
| Monthly Conversion (%) | 8.1 | 5.6 | 10.8 | 8.6 |

In addition, below, we present a more detailed quarterly overview of our selected KPIs.
In Q1 2023, we observed a decline YoY and QoQ in DAU for our core franchises and new franchises. The downward trend in DAU for Core franchises reflects primarily our lower user acquisition expenses and broader social casino market trends. New titles' decline in DAU (-53% YoY and -18% QoQ) was connected with user acquisition spend on Traffic Puzzle gradually declining throughout the past several quarters and ultimately the game moving to maintenance mode with no active support.

In Q1 2023, we saw a 29% YoY and 11% QoQ decrease in the overall number of DPUs. Core franchise DPUs declined by 20% YoY and 9% QoQ, as a result of the decline in overall DAU. The DPUs of our new franchises (primarily Traffic Puzzle) decreased by 61% YoY and 24% QoQ, following the decline in TP user base.

ARPDAU indicates how well we monetize our games taking into account our whole player base. Thanks to our competences in marketing, as well as our technology, we have seen over the long run a sustained growth in the monetization of our core games, i.e., Huuuge Casino and Billionaire Casino. These two games continued to exhibit ARPDAU rates exceeding the category averages, and we saw further improvement in this KPI in Q1 2023 on a YoY basis and a slight decline QoQ, which was driven by lower player-to-payer conversion in that period. At the same time, the ARPDAU of new titles declined by 20% YoY and 3% QoQ, with Traffic Puzzle having the largest impact on our portfolio.

In recent years, we have been able to consistently improve the ARPPU of our core franchises owing to the social features of our games and to our constant focus on live events and special offers. Core franchises ARPPU increased 15% YoY and 4% QoQ. The latest trends observed in ARPPU prove that our loyal paying customer base keeps enjoying our games and that we haven't reached a "monetization ceiling" yet. Our Q1 2023 numbers for our core franchises also reflect the positive impact of the recent game economy upgrade on our player behavior.

Monthly Conversion is an indicator of our ability to convert players into payers. In Q1 2023, our core franchises' monthly conversion decreased slightly from 10.9% in Q4 2022 to 10.8% in Q1 2023, on the back of a seasonally strong calendar of special offers in the past quarter. Total monthly conversion for the whole portfolio increased from 7.9% in Q4 2022 to 8.1% in Q1 2023, as Traffic Puzzle conversion improved. (Non-payers churn was substantially higher relative to the paying user base.)

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Sales profit, Sales profit margin and User acquisition cost as % of revenue are supplemental measures of the financial and operating performance used by us that are not required by, or prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are prepared by us because we believe they provide a view of our

recurring operating performance that is unaffected by our capital structure and allow us to readily view operating trends and identify strategies to improve operating performance and to assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are critical to our core operating performance. In evaluating these measures, you should be aware that, in the future, we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our use of each of these measures is as follows:
We define EBITDA as the net result for the year adjusted for income tax, finance costs, finance income, and depreciation and amortization. The rationale for using the EBITDA is that it is a measure widely used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate the profitability of companies. EBITDA eliminates potential differences in performance caused by variations in capital structures (affecting finance costs and finance income), tax positions (such as the availability of net operating losses that offset taxable profits), the costs and ages of property, plant and equipment (affecting the depreciation expense level) and the extent to which intangible assets are identifiable (affecting the amortization expense level).
We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for events not related to the main activity of the Group, asset impairment and share-based payment expense. The rationale for using the Adjusted EBITDA is that it constitutes an attempt to show the EBITDA result after eliminating events not related to the main activity of the Group and items from the profit and loss account that are of a non-cash nature.
We define EBITDA margin as the ratio of the EBITDA to Revenue. The rationale for using the EBITDA margin is that it is a measure of operational profitability widely used among securities analysts and investors, and that EBITDA and EBITDA margin are internal measures used by us in the process of budgeting and management accounting.
We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Revenue. The rationale for using the Adjusted EBITDA margin is that it shows a measure of operating profitability after eliminating events not related to the main activity of the Group and items from the profit and loss account that are of a non-cash nature.
We define Sales Profit (previously "Return on sales") as Gross profit/(loss) from sales, less the user acquisition costs. The rationale for using Sales Profit is to show the profitability of sales in the value aspect after covering costs directly related to the generated revenue – mainly distribution costs (fees for owners of distribution platforms), server expenses and the user acquisition costs through paid advertising campaigns. Historically, we used to include in this measure the Cost of external marketing and sales expenses, but, beginning from the full year 2020, we decided to narrow the ratio to track profitability of revenue after covering User acquisition costs only, which is a narrower category than the previously used Cost of external marketing and sales expenses. For comparative purposes, the values presented for prior periods have been recalculated accordingly.
We define Sales profit margin (previously "Sales margin") as the ratio of Sales profit to Revenue. The rationale for using the sales profit % is to show the profitability of sales as a percentage after covering variable costs directly related to the revenue generated – mainly distribution costs (fees for owners of distribution platforms), server expenses and the user acquisition costs through paid advertising campaigns.
We define User Acquisition cost as % of revenue as the ratio of User acquisition costs to Revenue. The rationale for using the User Acquisition cost as % of revenues is to show how much of our revenue we reinvest directly in maintaining and expanding our player base. Historically, we used to include the total cost of external marketing and sales services in that measure, and, beginning from the full year 2020, we decided to narrow the ratio to track the reinvestment of user acquisition costs only. For comparative purposes, the values presented for prior periods have been recalculated accordingly.
We define Adjusted net result as the net result for the year adjusted for events not related to the main activity of the Group, share-based payment expense and financial expenses related to the revaluation of the liability related to Series-C preference shares. The rationale for using the Adjusted net result is that it constitutes an attempt to show the Net result for the year after eliminating events not related to the main activity of the Group and items from the profit and loss account that are of a non-cash nature.
We define Adjusted net result margin as the ratio of the Adjusted net result to Revenue. The rationale for using the Adjusted net result margin is that it constitutes an attempt to show the Net result for the year in percentage after eliminating events not related to the main activity of the Group and items from the profit and loss account that are of a non-cash nature.
The measures presented are not comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.

Our revenue consists of revenue generated by in-app purchases in gaming applications and in-app advertising, as shown in the table below for the periods under review together with the percentage change over such periods.
| in thousand USD | Q1 2023 | Q1 2022 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|

| Advertising | 1,120 | 3,433 | -67.4% |
| Total revenue | 71,746 | 84,001 | -14.6% |

As a result of a decline in DAU and DPU driven by lower marketing spend, revenue generated by in-app purchases in gaming applications decreased by USD 9,942 thousand (i.e., 12.3%) from USD 80,568 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to USD 70,626 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023, while revenue generated by advertising decreased by USD 2,313 thousand (i.e., 67.4%) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the corresponding period of 2022. This is mostly due to the declining user base of Traffic Puzzle and of some previously discontinued games.

58 | 296 | -80.4% |
Revenue generated by our core games (i.e., Huuuge Casino and Billionaire Casino) decreased by USD 5,974 thousand (i.e., by 8.1%) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the corresponding period of 2022. This was related to the decline in DPU, driven by a combination of lower marketing spend (fewer new players and payers) as well as churn of the existing payer base. Improvement in monetization metrics (namely ARPPU) did not fully offset the payer base decline.
With regard to Traffic Puzzle, revenue decreased by 5,481 thousand (i.e., by 63.8%) between the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the three months ended March 31, 2022. This was driven by the user acquisition spend declining throughout 2022 and in Q1 2023.
The significant decrease in Other revenue of 55.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the corresponding period of 2022 is a result of discontinued marketing spend and a number of these games having been put in maintenance mode (which also resulted in a drop in DAU).
The table below presents a breakdown of our operating expenses.
| in thousand USD | Q1 2023 | Q1 2022 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost of sales | (21,136) | (25,473) | -17.0% |
| Sales and marketing expenses: | (9,309) | (29,897) | -68.9% |
| thereof, User acquisition marketing campaigns | (6,324) | (26,285) | -75.9% |
| thereof, General sales and marketing expenses | (2,985) | (3,612) | -17.4% |
| Research and development expenses | (7,181) | (8,982) | -20.1% |
| General and administrative expenses | (9,970) | (9,051) | 10.2% |
| Total operating expenses | (47,596) | (73,403) | -35.2% |
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by USD 25,807 thousand (i.e., by 35.2%) compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. This change resulted primarily from the decrease by USD 19,961 (i.e., by 75.9%) in User Acquisition Marketing Campaigns constituting a dominant part of the Sales and Marketing expenses, and it reflected our user acquisition strategy discussed in the User Acquisition and post-IDFA mobile advertising market update section.

The second-largest operating expenses item (i.e., cost of sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by USD 4,337 thousand (i.e., 17.0%) compared to the corresponding period of 2022. This change is a combined effect of: (i) decrease in commissions to distributors (platform fees) driven by the 12.3% decrease in revenue generated by in-app purchases, (ii) the expansion of the direct-to-consumer webshop platform for our VIP players with significantly lower platform processing fees, (iii) lower amortization costs of Traffic Puzzle game due to its partial impairment in Q4 2022.
General Sales and Marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by USD 627 thousand (i.e., 17.4%) compared to the corresponding period of 2022, which can be attributed primarily to a decrease in salaries and employee-related costs related to optimization of headcount.
Research and Development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by USD 1,801 thousand (i.e., 20.1%) compared to the corresponding period of 2022. The decrease was mainly driven by a decrease in ESOP expenses resulting mostly from the departure of some employees who had received equity grants in the previous periods, as well as by the salaries and employee-related costs driven by lower current year performance bonus accrual as a consequence of the headcount reductions.
Our General and Administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by USD 919 thousand (i.e., 10.2%) compared to the corresponding period of 2022, which is a combined effect of increases in salaries and employee-related costs related to termination costs and to depreciation and amortization mostly related to internally developed intangible assets. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the costs of the employee stock option plan related to the restructuring process in Q1 2023 and by optimization in other costs.
Despite the decrease in revenue, our sales profit increased by USD 12,043 thousand and the sales profit margin by 23.3pp for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the corresponding period of 2022, mostly as a result of a lower user acquisition spend level.
The adjusted EBITDA increased by USD 13,210 thousand and the adjusted EBITDA margin by 21.4pp in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the corresponding period of 2022, mostly as a result of a similar increase in Sales Profit (as discussed above).

Finance income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by USD 1,437 thousand to USD 1,507 (from USD 70 thousand) for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Finance income, net for the Q1 2023 is mainly attributable to income generated on interests on short-term bank deposits (USD 1,505 thousand).

The Issuer does not publish financial forecasts.
On March 8, 2023, a plaintiff filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Franklin County Alabama as a private attorney general to recover money for Alabama residents who made purchases in the Company's "slot machine, other casino-style games, card games and other games of chance." The complaint alleges that those games violate Alabama state laws.
The Company intends to defend itself in this matter vigorously and believes that there are meritorious legal and factual defenses against the plaintiff's allegations and requests for relief. As the case is in preliminary stages, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss, if any, arising from this litigation.
As of the date of the issuance of this report, to the best of the Company's knowledge, this litigation is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's operations, financial condition or cashflows.
Except for the abovementioned proceedings, neither the Issuer nor any of its subsidiaries were, as at March 31, 2023, or as at the date of issuing the financial statements, a party to any significant court or arbitration proceedings or before any public authority.
