Comments by the CEO

Disciplined execution of our long-term strategy

In the third quarter, we are beginning to see our strategic efforts yield results, especially within Business Area (BA) Europe. This is occurring despite the fact that our main new games for 2025 have yet to launch, underpinning the resilience of our games in the region. While Europe and MENA & APAC saw organic net revenue growth, North America remains challenging. The decline in North America is driven by our intentional efforts to focus on value-creating profitability and cash flow as opposed to revenue growth. Simultaneously, we are actively investing in franchises and games that we believe have strong growth capabilities as we execute our strategy to focus on key game franchises and drive long-term profitability and growth across the group.

We continue to prioritize operational efficiencies by transferring games to regions and studios better suited to improve revenue, cost structure, and ultimately cash flow. In Q2, we announced the transfer of the Word franchise from North America to MENA & APAC, a move completed at the end of Q3 2025 with no material impact to BA MENA & APAC in the quarter. We continue to evaluate other games for similar strategic transfers where they make sense.

We reported net revenue of SEK 1,373 million in Q3 2025, resulting in an organic decline of 8 percent year-overyear (YoY). Although organic growth remained negative, it improved compared to the first half of 2025, driven by BA Europe. Gross margin improved by 3 percentage points YoY, driven by a higher contribution from our direct-to-consumer (DTC) business. The DTC part of our

business now accounts for 44 percent of total net revenue; an increase compared to 33 percent in Q3 2024.

We successfully completed our cost savings program, reaching SEK 250 million in annualized run-rate savings driven by BA North America and MENA & APAC. This milestone was achieved by the end of Q3 2025, one quarter ahead of schedule, allowing us to successfully conclude the program. Reaching the upper end of our target early demonstrates our execution strength and ability to protect margins even under revenue pressure.

Driven by our operational improvements and focus on profitability, adjusted EBITDAC saw strong growth compared to last year despite headwinds from net revenue. It reached SEK 436 million in the quarter, and the margin improved by 8 percentage points YoY. Free cash flow amounted to SEK 183 million in the quarter and remained strong over the past 12 months totaling SEK 974 million.

Our leverage ratio was 2.06 at the end of the quarter. This is a slight improvement compared to Q2 2025, in line with our expectations as we normally see an elevated leverage ratio in Q2. We expect the leverage ratio to improve gradually over the coming years as a result of strong cash flow generation that allows for ongoing earnout debt and financial debt reductions.

Europe back to organic growth

BA Europe returned to organic net revenue growth, primarily driven by the Supremacy franchise as we continue to make upgrades in the existing game and effectively deploy user acquisition costs. Albion Online and Big showed encouraging trends, while Narrative continued to underperform expectations. Despite potential future quarterly fluctuations, we are focused on sustaining this upward trajectory long term and expect the improved momentum to continue. Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000 is expected to launch in the middle of Q4 2025 and has been in early retention and beta testing during Q3 2025. We are also preparing for the launch of Big Homestead at the end of Q4 and soft launched Webtoon on September 30.

Strong Adjusted EBITDAC growth in North America

In BA North America, the turnaround execution continues by focusing on long-term margin expansion through lower user acquisition costs and operational efficiencies. We now see that our efforts yield much healthier margins and are a solid net contributor to adjusted EBITDAC and free cash flow despite pressure on net revenue. The Word franchise has now moved to MENA & APAC, and we continue to assess other operational efficiencies to mitigate the organic net revenue decline and improve margins.

Solid execution in MENA & APAC

The strategy for BA MENA & APAC remains solid. The Jawaker and Board franchises continue to deliver strong results, and Moonfrog is focusing on integrating the Word franchise into its business. Imperia is optimizing previously received games from other parts of the organization and existing games within the studio. 6waves and Babil continue to prioritize margin improvements and sourcing new publishing deals, with Babil signing a new game with a major developer in the quarter that will be test launched in Q4.

Game market outlook - renewed confidence and selective growth

After a period of normalization and correction, the global games market is entering a more constructive phase. The overall environment remains competitive, but investor sentiment toward the industry has clearly improved, as evidenced by renewed M&A activity such as Electronic Art's announced transaction. Mobile remains the largest segment, but growth is increasingly concentrated among established IPs and publishers with strong live operations capabilities and efficient direct-to-consumer channels, areas where Stillfront is well positioned.

While user acquisition costs remain elevated and platform policies continue to evolve, we see stabilization in monetization trends and a rebound in player engagement across core genres, particularly Strategy, Cards and RPG MMO, categories central to our portfolio. At the same time, we expect further consolidation in the industry as scale, data, and operating efficiency become decisive advantages.

Overall, the market is shifting from expansion at any cost to sustainable, franchise-led growth, fully in line with our strategy. This reinforces our belief that the next phase of industry growth will favor diversified, cash-generative players with disciplined capital allocation and a focus on key franchises, precisely where Stillfront focuses its efforts.

Strategic review

The strategic review we initiated earlier this year is

progressing according to expectations. The recently completed transfers and discontinuation of certain games is a continuation of our long-term initiative to sharpen our focus on our key game franchises. So far, we have transferred 26 games from North America to MENA & APAC that had roughly a net revenue of SEK 450 million in 2024 and discontinued games such as Ellen's Garden Restoration and Survival Tactics. These efforts will continue going forward and we will be closing an additional 5-10 smaller loss-making games by the end of Q4. Additionally, approximately 20-30 games are shortlisted for potential closure in the following quarters pending continuous performance review. These are games that either have negative EBITDAC or that have low margins and low probability of future growth. Alongside this, our commitment to evaluating certain assets for divestments to increase shareholder value remains.

Looking forward

We expect MENA & APAC to maintain a steady growth pace, supported by strong performance from Jawaker and Moonfrog. Europe, which returned to positive organic growth in Q3, may experience some quarterly fluctuations but is expected to perform better than in H1 and continue improving over the long run.

North America remains the only business area with materially negative organic net revenue growth, reflecting our deliberate focus on profitability, an approach that is already delivering tangible improvements. For Q4, this continued profitability focus in North America, combined with lower UAC at the end of Q3, means that overall organic net revenue growth is expected to temporarily return to levels similar to the first half of the year. This will be driven by North America's reduced revenues, while MENA & APAC should maintain solid growth and Europe continues to build momentum.

In closing, my sincere appreciation extends to every member of the Stillfront team for their exceptional passion, creative spirit, and unwavering dedication to our goals. I also want to express my gratitude to our valued players and shareholders for their confidence and steadfast support. Together we are enabling a more focused, robust, and aspirationally driven Stillfront.

Analysis of net revenue and bookings Total net revenue for the third quarter amounted to SEK 1,373 (1,595) million, resulting in an organic decline of 7.8 percent driven by BA North America. BA Europe net revenue amounted to SEK 643 (659) million, corresponding to an organic growth of 0.6 percent driven by positive performance within key franchises and active LiveOps. BA North America net revenue amounted to SEK 246 (446) million, a decrease of 32.9 percent on an organic basis driven by negative performance across the game portfolio. BA MENA & APAC net revenue amounted to SEK 484 (490) million, an organic increase of 2.9 percent as key franchises were able to fully offset the decline in the rest of the game portfolio.

Key franchises net revenue of SEK 1,030 (1,152) million, a decline by 4.6 percent organically as growth in BA MENA & APAC and Europe could not offset the decline in BA North America. Active LiveOps reported net revenue of SEK 205 (268) million resulting in an organic decline of 17.5 percent, driven by BA North America and MENA & APAC. Legacy LiveOps net revenue amounted to SEK 110 (143) million, a decline of 16.8 percent organically. External partnerships and other net revenue amounted to SEK 27 (32) million, an organic decline of 4.3 percent.

Players continued to migrate to the Stillfront payment solution, and 44 (33) 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.

Net revenue amounted to SEK 1,373 (1,595) million, resulting in an organic decline of 7.8 percent driven by BA North America.

Gross profit amounted to SEK 1,133 (1,269) million and gross margin amounted to 83 (80) percent, where the improved margin was driven by a higher share of DTC, partly offset by lower ad bookings, which represented 11 (14) percent of bookings.

UAC amounted to SEK -336 (-462) million corresponding to 25 (29) percent of net revenue, a decline compared to the previous year driven by an increased focus on profitability.

Personnel costs of SEK -231 (-273) million decreased compared to Q3 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 -116 (-150) million decreased compared to Q3 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 Q3 2024.

Adjusted EBITDAC amounted to 436 (385) million, an increase of 13 percent compared to last year as lower UAC, the cost savings program and lower capitalization of product development were able to fully offset the decline in net revenue and FX headwinds of roughly SEK 35 million. This resulted in an adjusted EBITDAC margin of 32 (24) percent.

Net financial items decreased to SEK -86 (-108) million, driven by lower interest costs from lower interest rates and lower debt compared to last year.

Taxes for the quarter amounted to SEK -37 (-14) million, driven by a higher profit before tax.

Cash flow from operations declined to SEK 310 (457) million for the period despite the EBIT improvement, primarily driven by working capital movements. Net financial items paid and received in cash of SEK –77 (-101) million decreased primarily due to lower net debt and lower interest rates. Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to SEK –47 (74) million, driven mainly by variations in payments for UAC.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK –119 (-161) million, mainly driven by lower capitalization of product development.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK –326 (-307) million, mainly driven by repayment of borrowings of SEK –335 (-223) million. Additionally, no shares were repurchased in the third quarter of 2025 compared to repurchases of SEK –80 million in the third quarter last year.

Free cash flow amounted to SEK 183 (298) million, driven by reduced cash flow from operations as a result of negative working capital movements, partly offset by lower product development investments. Free cash flow for the past twelve months amounted to SEK 974 (835) million, and the cash conversion rate for the past twelve-month period amounted to 0.49 (0.38).

Net debt excl. earnout liabilities decreased to SEK 3,975 (4,247) 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 5,086 (5,872) million, also impacted by cash generation and Fx effects. These factors compensated for the increasing effect on net debt that was caused by earnout revaluations of SEK -335 (-88) million in total in the last twelve months. Net debt incl. cash earnout NTM amounted to SEK 4,381 (4,745) million.

Adjusted leverage ratio incl NTM cash earnout, pro forma, of 2.06x (2.08x) at the end of Q3 2025, which is lower than in the previous quarter but still 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 643 (659) million, resulting in an organic increase of 0.6 percent driven by key franchises and active LiveOps. Key franchises generated net revenue of SEK 550 (565) million, a decrease driven primarily by FX headwinds and negative performance by the Narrative franchise. The Big, Albion Online and Supremacy franchises continued to perform well. Active LiveOps net revenue of SEK 79 (72) million grew in the quarter, primarily driven by the Playa studio. Legacy LiveOps net revenue amounted to SEK 11 (11) million. External partnerships and other reported net revenue of SEK 4 (11) million in the quarter.

Gross profit was SEK 552 (553) million, resulting in a gross margin of 86 (84) percent. This represents an improvement of 2 percentage points, driven by higher DTC penetration across key franchises. DTC bookings constituted 54 percent of total bookings; an improvement of 11 percentage points compared to the previous year.

UAC amounted to SEK -207 (-199) million, an increase compared to last year driven by strong underlying performance within the Supremacy franchise. This resulted in UAC corresponding to 32 percent of net revenue in the quarter, compared to 30 percent in Q3 2024.

Personnel expenses amounted to SEK -100 (-102) and were roughly flat as continued investment in the workforce was partly offset by optimizing the franchise organization coupled with FX impact.

Capitalization of product development amounted to SEK -74 (-71) million, driven by increased investments in upcoming games and key franchises.

Adjusted EBITDAC amounted to SEK 154 (161) million due to lower net revenue and higher UAC. Adjusted EBITDAC margin was 24 (24) percent as a higher gross margin was able to fully offset the higher fixed costs in relation to net revenue.

Net revenue amounted to SEK 246 (446) million, an organic decline of 32.9 percent in the quarter, driven by all game portfolios. Key franchises net revenue totaled SEK 192 (319) million, a decline primarily driven by Home Design Makeover and Word. Improvements in key franchises continued to be executed, mainly by introducing the webshop in BitLife. The Word franchise has been moved to BA MENA & APAC at the end of the third quarter as planned. Active LiveOps amounted to SEK 18 (46) million, driven by a reduction of UAC. Legacy LiveOps continued to decline, totaling SEK 35 (81) million, a decline driven by the transfer of 24 games from Storm8 to Imperia in BA MENA & APAC earlier in the year.

Gross profit was SEK 199 (352) million, with a gross margin of 81 (79) percent, a 2 percentage points increase driven by an increased share of DTC bookings.

UAC amounted to SEK -110 (-230) million, a decrease YoY primarily driven by less UAC within the Super Free and Storm8 studios driven by optimization of marketing spend to increase profitability and cash flow.

Personnel expenses amounted to SEK -31 (-66) million, a decrease compared to previous periods primarily driven by Storm8 and Super Free due to the cost savings program.

Capitalization of product development decreased to SEK -21 (-59) million, primarily driven by reduced investments in Storm8.

Adjusted EBITDAC increased to SEK 36 (13) million as lower UAC and executed cost savings were able to fully offset the net revenue decline. Adjusted EBITDAC margin amounted to 15 (3) percent.

MENA & APAC reported net revenue of SEK 484 (490) million, resulting in an organic increase of 2.9 percent, driven by key franchises. Net revenue for key franchises grew to SEK 288 (269) million, driven by the continued strong performance of both the Jawaker and Board franchises. Active LiveOps amounted to SEK 108 (150) million, driven by the 6Waves and Babil portfolios and the lack of new publishing deals impacting the quarter. Legacy LiveOps increased to SEK 64 (51) million on the back of the transferred legacy games from the Storm8 studio in BA North America to Imperia.

Gross profit was SEK 381 (365) million, with a gross margin of 79 (74) percent, driven by a higher DTC share. This was a result of product mix and the deployment of the web shop solution in 6waves.

UAC decreased to SEK -19 (-33) million, mainly driven by the 6waves and Babil studio. This led to UAC corresponding to 4 percent of net revenue in Q3 2025, down from 7 percent the year before.

Personnel costs decreased to SEK -49 (-58) million, driven by the merger of Game Labs with Imperia as part of the cost savings program launched in Q3 2024 and reduced personnel in 6waves.

Capitalization of product development amounted to SEK -20 (-17) million in the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDAC grew to SEK 276 (240) million with a strong margin of 57 (49) percent, an increase of 8 percentage points driven by a higher gross margin and lower UAC and personnel expenses in relation to net revenue.

Significant events in the quarter

Stillfront appointed Emily Villatte as Group Chief Financial Officer

Stillfront appointed Emily Villatte as Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and member of the Group Executive Management team. Emily will assume the position on January 7, 2026, or such earlier date as may be communicated by Stillfront. Tim Holland is currently serving as interim Group CFO and will continue in this role until Emily assumes the position as Group CFO.

Stillfront's holding of own shares fell below five percent

Stillfront announced, in accordance with Chapter 4, Section 18 of the Swedish Financial Instruments Trading Act (1991:980), that the company's holding of own shares as of 30 June 2025 was below the threshold of 5 percent of all shares and votes in the company.

Significant events after the quarter

Stillfront expected higher adjusted EBITDAC in the third quarter of 2025 compared to market expectations

Stillfront announced on 13 October that it expected to report adjusted EBITDAC of SEK 436 million for the third quarter of 2025, which was higher than market expectations. This corresponded to an increase of 13 percent compared to the third quarter of 2024. The adjusted EBITDAC growth was driven mainly by lower user acquisition costs, as well as early achievement of the cost savings program target and higher profitability in Business Area North America and MENA & APAC compared to the third quarter 2024. The reported earnings are in line with the preliminary results.

Parent company

Customary group management functions and group wide services are provided via the parent company. The revenue for the parent company during the quarter was SEK 48 (42) million. The result before tax includes dividends from subsidiaries and amounted to SEK 228 (171) million.

Accounting policies

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS34 Interim Financial Reporting. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting standards as adopted by the EU and the relevant references to Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The parent company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with RFR2 Accounting for Legal Entities and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. 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 quarter, excluding transaction costs, earnout interest and earnout revaluations.

As of 1 January 2025, Stillfront reports three geographical segments, Business Areas Europe, North America and MENA & APAC. The segments are defined based primarily on the location of studios as described under Operational definitions below. Information provided in the report coincides with the information that is regularly followed by the chief operating decision maker (the CEO).

The financial statements are presented in SEK, which is the functional currency of the Parent Company. All amounts, unless otherwise stated, are rounded to the nearest million (MSEK). Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout these consolidated financial statements may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

Stillfront has made an early adoption of an amendment of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments which allows for derecognition in certain circumstances of financial liabilities settled through an electronic payment system before settlement date.

Attributable risks include for example risks relating to market conditions, regulatory risks, tax risks and risks attributable to public perception.

Auditor's report (Unofficial translation)

To the Board of directors in Stillfront Group AB (publ) corporate identity number 556721-3078

Introduction

We have conducted a limited review of the condensed interim financial information (interim report) for Stillfront Group AB (publ) ("the Parent Company") and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") as of September 30, 2025, and the nine-month period ending on that date. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for preparing and presenting this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our limited review.

The focus and scope of the limited review

We have conducted our limited review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A limited review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, performing analytical procedures, and other review procedures. A limited review has a different focus and a significantly smaller scope compared to the focus and scope of an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and generally accepted auditing standards. The review procedures taken in a limited review do not enable us to obtain the assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might have been identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a limited review does not have the assurance that a conclusion expressed based on an audit has.

Conclusion

Based on our limited review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act and for the parent company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

Net revenue in the third quarter amounted to SEK 1,373 (1,595) million, which corresponds to an organic decline of 7.8 percent. Currency movements on net revenue in the third 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.

Amortization of product development -203 -198 -587 -601 -789 -804
Amortization of PPA items -145 -166 -454 -512 -624 -682

In the third quarter, investments in product development amounted to SEK 116 (150) million, whereof Business Area Europe SEK 74 (71) million, North America SEK 21 (59) million, MENA & APAC SEK 20 (17) million, Shared services SEK 1 (3) million and Headquarters SEK - (-) million. The lower investments in product development are a result of Stillfront's efforts to become more focused on how investments in product development are allocated across the group and the investments in the last 12 months amounted to 8 (10) percent of net revenue. Capitalized development fluctuates between quarters and depends on the number of new launches.

Amortization of product development of SEK -203 (-198) million was recorded during the third quarter. Amortization of PPA items amounted to SEK -145 (-166) million.

Amortization of product development was approximately the same level as in the corresponding quarter last year but lower than in the second quarter this year. This was driven among other factors by accelerated amortization of certain assets in connection with a review of the remaining economic lifetime. Amortization of PPA items declined in comparison to the corresponding period last year. This was driven by exchange rate changes and by assets becoming fully amortized.

The group's tax cost amounted to SEK -37 (-14) million for the third quarter.

Tax costs for the quarter are affected by non-deductible items, mainly earnout interest SEK -9 (-12) million, as well as by irrecoverable tax on dividends received from studios SEK -7 (-1) 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.

No shares were repurchased in the third quarter and the company currently does not hold any treasury shares. At the end of the third quarter 517,968,480 (507,723,480) shares were outstanding. In the third quarter, an average of 517,968,480 (513,900,382) shares were outstanding.

Net debt as of the end of the third quarter amounted to SEK 3,975 (4,247) million. Net debt including cash earnouts for the next 12 months amounted to SEK 4,381 (4,745) million. Net debt including all earnout liabilities amounted to SEK 5,086 (5,872) million.

The adjusted interest coverage ratio, pro forma, was 6.51x (5.59x) at the end of the quarter.

The adjusted leverage ratio, pro forma, including cash earnouts for the next 12 months, was 2.06x (2.08x). 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 1.87x (1.87x).

At the end of the quarter, Stillfront had total unutilized credit facilities of SEK 1,354 (1,783) million, of which SEK 1,254 (1,381) million were long-term credit facilities. Cash balances amounted to SEK 773 (857) 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 2,834 (1,986) million, however, have a fair value of SEK 2,888 (2,041) million. Fx forwards and currency basis swaps with a net carrying amount of SEK 16 (-49) million are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Contingent purchase considerations (earnout provisions) with a carrying amount of SEK 1,111 (1,625) million are measured at fair value through profit and loss.

Total provisions for earnout - 577 535 1,111

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 1,111 (1,625) million for earnout provisions, of which SEK 577 (675) million current and SEK 535 (950) million non-current. The book value of the amounts that will be settled during 2026 to 2027 comprises SEK 780 million expected to be paid out in cash and SEK 331 million expected to be settled in Stillfront shares. Stillfront may choose, and has previously chosen, to buy back from the company's own shares to settle earnout payments.

Earnout provisions at the end of the second quarter 2025 were SEK 1,114 million and decreased to SEK 1,111 million at the end of the third quarter, driven by currency exchange differences of SEK -12 million, partly offset by discounting interest of SEK 9 million.
