In Q2 2025, we maintained disciplined execution of the strategy laid out earlier this year, focusing our investments on key franchises and streamlining our organization to support long-term organic growth and profitability. We are also advancing with our strategic review as planned. One of the highlights of the quarter was the announcement of Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000, a major milestone in our product pipeline, with global launch planned for H2 2025. We expect to further underpin this momentum with additional feature launches and game announcements, particularly within Business Area (BA) Europe during H2 2025 and into 2026.
Operational efficiency remains a priority. This quarter, we successfully transferred 24 legacy titles from our Storm8 studio in BA North America to our Imperia studio in Bulgaria (part of BA MENA & APAC). This transfer is designed to extend the life of these games while significantly improving their cost profile.
As expected, net revenue declined year-over-year (YoY), but our strategic focus on key franchises and cost optimization continues to deliver robust margins and strong cash flow.
We reported net revenue of SEK 1,436 million in Q2 2025, representing an organic decline of 11 percent YoY. Although we are not pleased with the result, it is a slight improvement compared to Q1 2025. Gross margin improved by 2 percentage points YoY, driven by the growing contribution of our direct-to-consumer (DTC) business. DTC now accounts for 39 percent of total net revenue – up from 34 percent in Q2 2024.
Our cost savings program, launched in Q3 2024 reached SEK 225 million in annualized run-rate savings by the end of Q2 2025 – an increase of SEK 155 million compared to Q1 2025. The cost savings stem from fixed cost optimization primarily in BA North America and direct cost optimization primarily in BA MENA & APAC and BA Europe. This is driven by operational efficiencies as we successfully transferred games to Imperia and continued webshop implementation. The run-rate leaves us just within reach of our cost savings target of SEK 200 - 250 million at the end of Q4 2025.
Due to topline pressure, adjusted EBITDAC declined YoY to SEK 374 million in the quarter as our cost savings program could not fully offset the impact. At the same time, we saw a headwind stemming from FX of approximately SEK 30 million impacting adjusted EBITDAC compared to Q2 2024. Despite this we were able to maintain an adjusted EBITDAC margin of 26 percent. Free cash flow remained strong at SEK 254 million in the quarter, totaling SEK 1,089 million over the past 12 months.
Our leverage ratio was 2.18x at the end of Q2 2025, which is above our financial target of 2.0x. This is typical for the second quarter where our leverage ratio peaks due to the inclusion of next year's cash earnouts in the leverage ratio calculation. We continued to focus on reducing debt and we were able to reduce the total debt by roughly SEK 900 million over the last twelve months. During the quarter, we acquired 8,378,665 own shares for a total amount of around SEK 57 million which were used to settle the equity component of our earnout debts for the fiscal year 2024. Going forward, we expect the leverage ratio to go down as we continue to see strong
cash flow generation that allows for ongoing debt reductions.
As anticipated, BA Europe saw a YoY decline in organic net revenue, reflecting tough Q2 2024 comparables (notably the Albion Online EU server launch) and the non-renewal of our third-party partnership with Netflix in the Narrative franchise. Despite this, performance from key franchises like Supremacy and Big remains solid, both growing YoY and the upcoming global launch of Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000 strengthens our confidence in the franchise's long-term potential.
Narrative games underperformed, and we are taking steps to address this by reviewing marketing strategies, exploring AI-driven updates, and evaluating third-party IP opportunities to enhance player engagement & distribution.
In BA North America, our turnaround strategy continues to focus on long-term margin expansion through reduced UA spend and operational efficiencies. While some titles remain challenged, franchises like BitLife demonstrate the potential to unlock value through product improvements and targeted UA opportunities. These measures may temporarily impact short-term margins but are expected to support longer-term growth.
Following the successful transfer of 24 legacy games from Storm8, we made the difficult but necessary decision to shut down Super Free's operations. The Word franchise will transfer over to the Moonfrog studio in MENA & APAC during the latter part of Q3 2025, while other titles will sunset once they are no longer cash flow positive. The annual net revenue for the Word franchise was approximately SEK 300 million with an adjusted EBITDAC margin of -9 percent during 2024. This is one of several actions underway as part of the strategic review announced earlier this year. Another action is the closure of the game Ellen's Garden Restoration in the Home Design Makeover franchise.
BA MENA & APAC continued to deliver strong results, led by Jawaker and our Board game franchises. While we observed some short-term impact from the regional conflict in MENA, the region remains resilient. Imperia is now focused on integrating the legacy games received from Storm8 and optimizing their performance. Babil and 6waves continue to prioritize margin improvements and sourcing new publishing deals.
The pace of new mobile game releases remains slow, with players increasingly gravitating toward established titles and franchises. This environment rewards incumbents with strong IP portfolios, Active Liveops, and strong DTC channels. These are areas where Stillfront is well-positioned to win market share.
Topline growth remained under pressure in H1 2025, mainly due to tough comparables in Europe and the ongoing turnaround in North America. However, we expect the rate of organic net revenue decline to slow down significantly during H2 2025. This improved development will mainly be driven by new game launches, operational improvements and UA deployed in Q2. We foresee the bulk of the improvement materializing in BA Europe.
Our strategic review is advancing as planned. The game transfers and closures described above are the first steps in a broader plan to focus on fewer franchises in our portfolio and invest in long-term winners. Our focus on selective divestment or discontinuation of certain assets within the group remains. We will continue to communicate transparently as additional steps are taken.
Finally, I want to thank the entire Stillfront team for their passion, creativity, and relentless focus. I'm equally grateful to our players and shareholders for their continued trust and support. Together, we are building a more focused, resilient, and ambitious Stillfront.
Alexis Bonte, President and Group CEO, Stillfront

Analysis of net revenue and bookings Total net revenue for the second quarter amounted to SEK 1,436 (1,744) million, resulting in an organic decline of 11.3 percent driven by headwinds within BA Europe and North America. BA Europe net revenue amounted to SEK 653 (801) million, corresponding to an organic decline of 14.5 percent driven by negative performance across the game portfolio ahead of new game launches. BA North America net revenue amounted to SEK 309 (468) million, a decrease of 18.3 percent on an organic basis driven by negative performance across the game portfolio due to lower UAC for Home Design Makeover and Super Free. BA MENA & APAC net revenue amounted to SEK 473 (475) million, an organic increase of 1.9 percent as key franchises were able to fully offset the decline in the rest of the game portfolio.
Key franchises net revenue of SEK 1,085 (1,246) million, a decline by 6.3 percent organically as growth in BA MENA & APAC could not offset the decline in BA North America and Europe. Active LiveOps net revenue reported SEK 215 (294) million resulting in an organic decline of 22.1 percent, primarily driven by a significant reduction in UA spending for Super Free in BA North America and negative performance by Babil and 6waves in BA MENA & APAC. Legacy LiveOps net revenue amounted to SEK 113 (146) million, a decline of 16.1 percent organically. External partnerships and other net revenue amounted to SEK 24 (58) million, an organic decline of 54.7 percent on the back of an unrenewed partnership with Netflix.
Players continued to migrate to the Stillfront payment solution, and 39 (34) percent of the players are now paying through a DTC platform which is negative for bookings and net revenue but accretive to gross profit and gross margin. This is primarily driven by players actively being incentivized to move to Stillfront's DTC payment solutions.

Gross profit amounted to SEK 1,172 (1,396) million and gross margin amounted to 82 (80) percent, where the improvement is driven by a higher share of DTC, partly offset by lower ad bookings, which represented 11 (13) percent of bookings.
UAC amounted to SEK -436 (-462) million corresponding to 30 (26) percent of net revenue as more UAC was deployed towards key franchises where opportunities for long-term growth are greater.
Personnel costs of SEK -231 (-283) million decreased compared to Q2 2024, primarily driven by BA North America as part of the cost savings program which was initiated in Q3 2024.
Capitalization of product development of SEK -119 (-152) million decreased compared to Q2 2024, primarily driven by reduced investments in BA North America. However, a greater proportion of total investments are being allocated to developing games within key franchises compared to Q2 2024.
Adjusted EBITDAC amounted to 374 (505) million, a 26 percent decline compared to last year primarily driven by lower net revenue in BA Europe and North America coupled with FX headwinds of approximately SEK 30 million. This resulted in an adjusted EBITDAC margin of 26 (29) percent.
Net financial items decreased to SEK -178 (-318) million, driven by lower earnout revaluations of SEK - 77 (-109) million, and lower interest costs from lower interest rates and debt compared to last year. In addition, the financial net in Q2 2024 included the one-off cost in Q2 2024 of SEK -66 million from the deconsolidation of Stillfront's subsidiary in Bangladesh.
Taxes for the quarter amounted to SEK -22 (-42) million, driven by a lower taxable profit in the quarter compared to Q2 2024. The underlying tax rate is 30 (30) percent. See note 5 for more details.

Cash flow from operations declined to SEK 383 (434) million for the period, primarily driven by lower EBIT. Net financial items paid and received in cash of SEK -81 (-98) million decreased primarily due to lower interest rates. Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to SEK 21 (-48) million, driven by increased liabilities to suppliers as a result of higher UA spend late in the quarter and decreased operating receivables because of the lower net revenue.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -713 (-668) million, mainly driven by acquisition and divestment of business. Acquisition and divestment of business of SEK -590 (-432) million increased due to higher earnout settlements, in-line with what was accrued, and included the third and final installment to the sellers of Dorado Games of SEK -15 (-) million. Other cashflows from investing activities amounted to SEK -4 (-85) million where Q2 2024 was impacted by the deconsolidation of the subsidiary in Bangladesh with a cash flow impact of SEK -82 million.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 332 (260) million, mainly driven by lower repurchase of own shares which was partly offset by lower net change in borrowings. Net change of borrowings of SEK 381 (463) million decreased mainly due to lower repurchases of own shares of SEK - 60 (-182) million. Borrowings and repurchases of shares are made for the purpose of settling earnout liabilities. This takes place at the end of each first half year, and the amounts are a function of what is required according to the earnout agreements. Lower repurchases in Q2 2025 than in Q2 2024 are explained by the fact that the repurchase of shares required to settle earnout liabilities in June 2025 were spread out over the past four quarters, whereas the shares required to settle earnout liabilities in June 2024 were repurchased only in Q2 of that year.
Free cash flow amounted to SEK 254 (272) million, a decrease of SEK 18 million compared to Q2 2024 driven by reduced cash flow from operations, which was not fully offset by lower product development investments. Free cash flow for the past twelve months amounted to SEK 1,089 (737) million, where the improvement is explained by lower interest payments, lower tax paid, working capital improvements and lower capitalized expenses. The cash conversion rate for the past twelve-month period amounted to 0.55 (0.33).
Net debt excl. earnout liabilities decreased to SEK 4,196 (4,507) million, driven by Fx effects and continued deleveraging which is a result of strong cash generation, compensating for cash outflows related to share repurchases and earnout settlements. Net debt incl. all earnouts decreased to SEK 5,310 (6,197) million, also impacted by cash generation and Fx effects, although revaluations of SEK - 258 (21) million in Q4 2024 and SEK -77 (-109) million in Q2 2025 had an increasing effect on earnout liabilities in the year. Net debt incl. cash earnout NTM amounted to SEK 4,603 (5,022) million.
Adjusted leverage ratio incl NTM cash earnout, pro forma, of 2.18x (2.15x) at the end of Q2 2025 was above the leverage target of maximum 2.0x as lower net debt was not able to fully offset the reduced adjusted EBITDA last twelve months.

Net revenue amounted to SEK 653 (801) million, representing a 14.5 percent organic decline as the BA saw decreasing net revenue across its game portfolio. Key franchises generated net revenue of SEK 555 (656) million, a decrease driven primarily by the EU server launch for Albion Online in Q2 2024 and reduced performance by Narrative compared to the previous year. The Big and Supremacy franchises continued to perform well. Additionally, the Twin Harbour studio was formed during the quarter by merging Bytro and Dorado. Empire saw improved sequential performance compared to the previous quarter, driven by Easter sales occurring in Q2 2025. Active LiveOps net revenue of SEK 83 (94) million declined in the quarter, primarily driven by the Playa studio. Legacy LiveOps net revenue amounted to SEK 9 (13) million. External partnerships and other reported net revenue of SEK 6 (37) million in the quarter, primarily due to the non-renewal of a third-party partnership with Netflix.
Gross profit was SEK 558 (673) million, resulting in a gross margin of 85 (84) percent. This represents an improvement of 1 percentage point, driven by higher DTC penetration across all key franchises. DTC bookings constituted 51 percent of total bookings, an improvement of 5 percentage points compared to the previous year.
UAC amounted to SEK -243 (-225) million, an increase compared to last year driven by strong underlying performance within the Supremacy franchise. This resulted in UAC corresponding to 37 percent of net revenue in the quarter, compared to 28 percent in Q2 2024.
Personnel expenses decreased to SEK -96 (-100) million as continued investment in the workforce was partly offset by optimizing the franchise organization.
Capitalization of product development amounted to SEK -71 (-69) million, driven by increased investments in upcoming updates and games.
Adjusted EBITDAC amounted to SEK 132 (268) million due to lower net revenue. Adjusted EBITDAC margin was 20 (33) percent, a decrease due to the Albion Online EU server in Q2 2024 coupled with higher UAC and fixed costs in relation to net revenue.

During the quarter, the decision was made to sunsetting Super Free's operations by moving the Word franchise to BA MENA & APAC and eventually discontinuing the remaining games. The decision was also made to sunset Ellen's Garden due to a lack of expected performance. Active LiveOps amounted to SEK 21 (56) million, driven by a reduction of UAC in Super Free. Legacy LiveOps continued to decline, totaling SEK 37 (88) million, a decline driven by the transfer of 24 games from Storm8 to Imperia in BA MENA & APAC at the beginning of the quarter.
Gross profit was SEK 245 (365) million, with a gross margin of 79 (78) percent, a 1 percentage point increase driven by an increased share of DTC bookings.
UAC amounted to SEK -174 (-202) million, a decrease YoY primarily driven by less UAC within the Super Free and Storm8 studios. However, UAC as a percentage of net revenue amounted to 56 percent compared to 43 percent in Q2 2024, driven by increased UAC within the BitLife franchise on the back of product upgrades.
Personnel expenses amounted to SEK -34 (-73) million, a decrease compared to the previous periods primarily driven by Storm8 as part of the cost savings program launched in Q3 2024.
Capitalization of product development decreased to SEK -25 (-55) million, primarily driven by reduced investments in Storm8.

MENA & APAC reported net revenue of SEK 473 (475) million, resulting in an organic increase of 1.9 percent, driven by key franchises. Net revenue for key franchises grew to SEK 278 (266) million, driven by the continued strong performance of both the Jawaker and Board franchises. Active LiveOps amounted to SEK 111 (144) million, driven by the 6Waves and Babil portfolios and the lack of new publishing deals. Legacy LiveOps increased to SEK 67 (45) million on the back of the transferred legacy games from the Storm8 studio in BA North America to Imperia.
Gross profit was SEK 368 (357) million, with a gross margin of 78 (75) percent, driven by a higher DTC share. This was a result of a different product mix and the deployment of the web shop solution in 6waves.

Adjusted EBITDAC grew to SEK 261 (222) million with a strong margin of 55 (47) percent, an increase by 8 percentage points driven by a higher gross margin and lower UAC and personnel expenses in relation to net revenue.

Net revenue in the second quarter amounted to SEK 1,436 (1,744) million, which corresponds to an organic decline of 11.3 percent. Currency movements on net revenue in the second quarter were driven by the stronger SEK against EUR, USD and JPY average rates year-over-year. Currency rates in the quarter are outlined in the currency table on page 19 in this report.

In the second quarter, investments in product development amounted to SEK 119 (152) million, whereof Business Area Europe SEK 71 (69) million, North America SEK 25 (55) million, MENA & APAC SEK 23 (23) million, Shared services SEK 0 (3) million and Headquarters SEK 0 (1) million. The lower investments in product development are a result of Stillfront's efforts to become more focused on how investments for product development are allocated across the group and the investments in the last 12 months amounted to 9 (10) percent of net revenue. Capitalized development fluctuates between quarters and depends on the number of new launches.
Amortization of product development of SEK -186 (-207) million was recorded during the second quarter. Amortization of PPA items amounted to SEK -147 (-175) million.
Amortization of product development and PPA items declined in comparison to the corresponding periods last year. This was driven by exchange rate changes and by assets becoming fully amortized, partly in connection with the accelerated amortization recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024, coupled with a decrease of new capitalized product development in the last year.

The group's tax cost amounted to SEK -22 (-42) million for the second quarter.
Tax costs for the quarter are affected by non-deductible items, mainly earnout interest SEK -14 (-16) million, earnout revaluations SEK -77 (-109) million and de-consolidation of subsidiary SEK - (-66) million, as well as by irrecoverable tax on dividends received from studios SEK -10 (-4) million. Withholding tax on dividends distributed from foreign studios cannot be offset against Swedish tax and therefore effectively implies a double-taxation of profits already taxed in the local jurisdiction. An underlying tax rate, which better describes tax costs related to Stillfront's ongoing business, can be calculated excluding such special items.
Stillfront applies IAS 34.30 (c) in the quarterly reports whereby the expected effective tax rate for the year is applied on profit before tax for each of the first three quarters, excluding transaction costs, earnout interest, earnout revaluations, goodwill impairment and deconsolidation of subsidiary.
The underlying tax rate for the quarter, excluding earnout interest and withholding tax on dividends, is thereby 30 (30) percent.

In the first quarter, 7,510,000 (-) shares were repurchased for a total of SEK 45 (-) million, and in the second quarter an additional 8,378,665 (15,100,126) shares were repurchased for a total of SEK 57 (182) million. Cash disbursements for share repurchases were SEK 42 (-) million in the first quarter and SEK 60 (182) million in the second quarter. At the end of the second quarter, 31,588,363 (15,100,126) shares were used to settle earnout liabilities of SEK 221 (163) million. Additionally in the second quarter, SEK 576 (432) million of earnout liabilities were settled in cash.
The company currently does not hold any treasury shares. At the end of the second quarter 517,968,480 (517,968,480) shares were outstanding, including 15,536,710 (-) shares in a custody account at a bank, which were formally held by the company itself but blocked and about to be transferred to counterparts as part of the agreed settlement of earnout liabilities. The shares in a blocked custody account were not controlled by the company and the earnout settlement is therefore considered as settled before the end of the quarter. In the second quarter, an average of 490,913,036 (511,569,881) shares were outstanding.
Net debt as of the end of the second quarter amounted to SEK 4,196 (4,507) million. Net debt including cash earnouts for the next 12 months amounted to SEK 4,603 (5,022) million. Net debt including all earnout liabilities amounted to SEK 5,310 (6,197) million.
The adjusted interest coverage ratio, pro forma, was 6.12x (5.63x) at the end of the quarter.
The adjusted leverage ratio, pro forma, including cash earnouts for the next 12 months, was 2.18x (2.15x). Stillfront has a financial target for the adjusted leverage ratio pro forma, including cash earnouts for the next 12 months, not to exceed 2.0x. The adjusted leverage ratio, pro forma, excluding earnout liabilities was 1.99x (1.93x).
At the end of the quarter, Stillfront had total unutilized credit facilities of SEK 1,005 (1,519) million, of which SEK 905 (1,222) million were long-term credit facilities. Cash balances amounted to SEK 912 (895) million.
Stillfront's financial assets and liabilities are in general measured at amortized cost, which is also a good approximation of their fair value. Bond loans with a carrying value of SEK 2,832 (1,986) million, however, have a fair value of SEK 2,886 (2,036) million. Fx forwards and currency basis swaps with a net carrying amount of SEK 9 (-81) million are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Contingent purchase considerations (earnout provisions) with a carrying amount of SEK 1,114 (1,690) million are measured at fair value through profit and loss.

The amounts stated in the table above refer to provisions in the balance sheet, calculated as present values of nominal expected future payments, by year of expected settlement. As of the quarter-end, the group had liabilities of SEK 1,114 (1,690) million for earnout provisions, of which SEK 578 (699) million current and SEK 536 (991) million non-current. The book value of the amounts that will be settled during 2026 to 2027 comprises SEK 782 million expected to be paid out in cash and SEK 332 million expected to be settled in Stillfront shares. Stillfront may choose, and has chosen, to buy back from the company's own shares to settle earnout payments.
Earnout provisions at the end of the first quarter 2025 were SEK 1,871 million and decreased to SEK 1,114 million at the end of the second quarter, driven by settlements SEK -796 million, currency exchange differences of SEK -52 million, non-cash revaluations SEK 77 million and discounting interest of SEK 14 million.
