Modern Times Group MTG AB (publ) ("MTG") is pleased to announce the agenda for its Capital Markets Day (CMD) in Stockholm on 9 October 2025. The day will focus on MTG's market leadership as an international mobile-first gaming group, the transformation of our operating model following the consolidation of Plarium, and our growth strategy and outlook. This will include how we plan to evolve our Gaming Village by implementing a new division-based structure and leadership.
Our vision is to build the best home for game makers in a Gaming Village with an ecosystem of knowledge, skills and technology. To realize this ambition, we have therefore begun the work to evolve our structure into two commercial divisions, or "Districts" within our Gaming Village – the Midcore District and the Casual District.
The District model will help accelerate game performance, drive efficient growth, and generate clear avenues for future value creation. We are now working on the detailed plans for this transformation with the intention to implement the new structure from January 2026.
The Midcore District will comprise the studios in Plarium, including the Finnish studio Futureplay, and MTG's original studios InnoGames, Snowprint, Hutch and Ninja Kiwi. Today, MTG is also announcing the following key management changes within the Midcore District.
The Casual District will comprise the PlaySimple studio and MTG's ambition is to grow this District over time, by adding new studios and teams that can benefit from PlaySimple's expertise and tools. Today, MTG is also announcing the following key management changes within the Casual District.
• Yoav Ecker was appointed as CEO of PlaySimple in August this year. Yoav is a highly experienced veteran and leader in mobile gaming and technology, having driven growth successfully at scale at Product Madness and prior to that, at Crazy Labs and Playtika. Yoav's appointment reflects MTG's future growth ambitions for PlaySimple.
MTG's Capital Markes Day 2025 will comprise presentations from MTG's executive and extended leadership, including key Midcore and Casual District leaders. The day will be structured on:
Presented by MTG's CEO Maria Redin and EVP of Gaming Arnd Benninghoff
• MTG's evolution to become a global leader in the mobile gaming landscape.
Presented by MTG's newly appointed Midcore and Casual District CEO's Oliver Bulloss and Yoav Ecker
• Deep-dive on MTG's plans for its new updated operating model including the key strategic growth drivers and future ambitions for its Midcore and Casual Districts.
Presented by MTG's CFO Nick Hopkins.
• MTG's financial performance, medium and long-term outlook, capital allocation and value creation alternatives.
In addition, the day will include spotlight sessions and panel discussions on RAID: Shadow Legends, AI and new game development.
"When we became a mobile-first pure-play group in 2022 we had a clear vision and strategy to become one of the leading mobile gaming groups in the world. The acquisition of Plarium has enabled us to take a major leap forward towards that vision. We continue to have high ambitions, and I am very excited to dive into the details of our future vision, strategy and goals at our Capital Markets Day on the 9th of October.
Our success is, and continues to be, driven by our experienced and passionate teams and an exceptional highquality portfolio with some of the best casual and midcore games on the market. I am proud of what we have built so far and excited about what we can achieve in the next three to five years.
I would like to congratulate Hendrik, Oliver, Yoav,Christian and Andy on their new positions and I look forward to working closely together to drive growth and realize value across our group. I also want to say a big thank you to Sid and the co-founders of PlaySimple and look forward to working with Sid in his new role. We have truly appreciated working together with all of you and it has been a pleasure to be inspired by the drive, entrepreneurial spirit and industry expertise you all bring to the table. All of this has resulted in one of the most amazing and inspiring growth journeys in our industry. I want to wish Sid, Siddhanth, Preeti and Suraj the very best of luck going forward on behalf of myself and the MTG team."
