It is a great privilege to present Asmodee's first interim report as a stand-alone company, following the significant milestone of our successful listing on Nasdaq Stockholm on February 7. Leading up to this achievement, we engaged with many investors and other stakeholders. During the quarter, we hosted our inaugural Capital Markets Day in Stockholm, presenting our strategy and the unique dynamics of our ecosystem supporting our profitable growth as a global leader in the tabletop games industry. Moving forward, we remain committed to creating long-term shareholder value.
We delivered double-digit sales and profit growth during the quarter, an important and seasonally strong period. Sales increased by 11.3%, of which organic growth accounted for 12.9%. Sales of Games published by Asmodee studios increased by 29.1% and sales of Games published by partners increased by 4.8%. The adjusted EBITDA increased by 12% to EUR 89.3 million (80.0) and was positively impacted by a more favorable product mix, partly offset by investments in marketing, higher royalty costs as well as other costs connected to becoming a stand-alone listed company.
We generated strong cash flow during the quarter and achieved a net debt/EBITDA of approximately 2.5x after M&A commitments adjusted for the capital injection from Embracer Group.
The strong growth within Games published by Asmodee was largely driven by new releases based on third-party IPs such as LEGO® Monkey Palace, Star Wars™: Unlimited - Twilight of the Republic, The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth™ as well as by the pillar games CATAN® , Azul and Dobble/Spot it!®. This improved margins through a favorable sales mix, albeit with somewhat higher royalty costs. During the quarter, we increased our marketing investments to normalized levels, which we anticipate will deliver long-term growth. This includes our strong presence at Essen SPIEL 2024, the world's largest tabletop game convention, where Asmodee had the largest footprint at the event, spanning over 4,000m². This allowed players to experience 89 showcased games through an impressive 65,000 demo sessions. During the event, Forest Shuffle by Asmodee's Lookout Studio won the prestigious Deutscher Spiele Preis award.
Within Games published by partners, we observed a rebound in sales for distributed product lines thanks to strong new releases such as Scarlet & Violet - Surging Sparks (Pokémon®), Foundations (Magic : The Gathering®) and Emperors in the New World (One Piece).
We continued to leverage our IPs in other forms of entertainment, specifically movies and TV shows. During the quarter, Netflix released a movie on Werewolves of Miller's Hollow. Backed by a global release, the show achieved more than 40 million views by end of December. Meanwhile, Canal+ successfully launched a TV show based on the same IP, which reached 10 million views, driving a significant sales increase for the tabletop game in the quarter.
Following the end of the quarter, we received a EUR 400 million capital injection from Embracer Group. EUR 300 million of the proceeds has been allocated to repaying gross debt, while the remaining EUR 100 million will further strengthen our balance sheet and support our M&A strategy.
Over the years, we have built an organization centered around people and processes, giving us confidence in our ability to succeed as a standalone listed company. We have been preparing for this transition by strengthening governance, refining our processes, and further developing our frameworks for risk management and business development. ESG aspects are integral to these areas, as well as a natural part of our daily decision-making and leadership. An important milestone will be the publication of our first sustainability report in June 2025. Thereafter, we will provide quarterly updates on the progress of our sustainability efforts.
I would like to thank our shareholders, team members, players, retail and business partners for their unwavering support. Our strong performance this quarter reflects the quality of our product portfolio and teams in a solid market. Together, we are well-positioned for long-term growth — both organically and by re-accelerating our M&A strategy — while gradually progressing towards a sustainable adjusted EBITDA margin exceeding 18% in the medium-term. We remain committed to our strategy, ready to navigate an ever evolving world.

Free cash flow after tax and capitalized lease payments amounted to EUR 102.1 million (116.6), resulting in a free cash conversion relative to adjusted EBITDA of 54% (69).
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 114.5 million (127.0) during the period, whereof changes in working capital amounted to EUR - 23.1 million (-1.3). The cash flow from changes in working capital was impacted by a decrease in inventories for an amount of EUR 2.3 million (32.7), where the change last year benefited from the destocking following high inventory build-up during the post-Covid-period. The cash flow from changes in working capital was favorably impacted by an increase in payables of EUR 60.1 million (38.4), including items affecting comparability of EUR-23.5 million (0), partially offset by an increase in receivables of EUR -84.6 million (-75.2)
Cash flow from investing activities was EUR -16.0 million (-20.3) and mainly relates to investments in games developments.
Cash flow from financing activities was EUR -44.4 million (-100.1) including the implementation and subsequent repayment of the bridge loan and the implementation of the new financing structure. Last year included repayment of shareholder loans of EUR 78.9 million.
Net debt before M&A commitments and after M&A commitments1 at the end of the period amounted to EUR -837.5 million (15.3 at March 31 2024) and EUR -956.8 million (-168.4 at March 31 2024) respectively, resulting in a Net debt/EBITDA1 before and after M&A commitments of 3.6x and 4.2x respectively. This corresponds to a Net debt/EBITDA1 of approximately 2.0x and 2.5x respectively adjusted for the capital injection from Embracer Group.
The increase in net debt before M&A commitments is driven by higher financial debt due to the issuance of EUR 940 million of senior secured notes in December 2024. Fóllowing the capital injection from Embracer Group and the EUR 300 million repayment of gross debt after the end of the quarter, the total outstanding bond debt amounts to EUR 640 million, equally divided between the Fixed Rate Notes and the Floating Rate Notes.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to EUR 155.8 million (99.4 at March 31, 2024). The increase is driven by seasonality.
See section definition of Alternative Performance Measures (APM)
The parent company acquires and conducts operations through its subsidiaries and underlying companies.
The parent company has net sales for April-December 2024 SEK 24.3 million (24.1), and profit/loss before tax was SEK -484.7 million (-49.8). Net income was SEK -477.5 million (-39.6).
Cash and cash equivalent as of December 31, 2024 were SEK 209 million (0). Liabilities mainly relates to the bonds issued on December 12, 2024 for SEK 10,550.7 million (0) (see further explanation on note P3 - Significant events of the interim period).
The parent company's equity at the end of the period was SEK 17,728.1 million (22,433.2).
Asmodee is exposed to risks, particularly the evolution of the tabletop market, dependence on key persons for the success of game development, the sales performance of launched games, the continuation of certain commercial relationships and key licensing agreements and the success and performance of acquisitions. The complete risk analysis is found in the Group's Prospectus.
Due to the cyclical nature of consumer demand in the tabletop gaming industry, Asmodee's sales are subject to seasonality. Seasonality typically manifests in higher sales during the second half of the financial year, driven by holiday-related purchases, particularly in view of Christmas and New Year. The increase in sales in view of the holiday season results from high demand, special editions and new launches. The Company strategically times product launches based on the seasonal pattern, while relying on a strong base of evergreen titles that generate consistent revenue throughout the year. There are also seasonal variations in cash flow from operating activities, primarily driven by an increase in inventories during the second and third financial quarters and subsequent reduction during the late third and fourth financial quarters. The seasonal trend in cash flow from operating activities is expected to remain going forward.
Asmodee received a EUR 400 million capital injection from Embracer Group. Adjusted for this, Net debt/ EBITDA1 would have amounted to approximately 2.0x and 2.5x before and after M&A commitments.
Asmodee initiated the repayment of EUR 300 million of gross debt relating to outstanding bonds, to be completed on February 13.

These bonds are accounted at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The amount of costs incurred by the company to issue these bonds amounted to EUR -19,794 thousand. As of December 31, 2024, paid issuance costs amounted to EUR 10,703 thousand and are presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows under "Paid interests".
1 The bonds denominated in EUR are accounted by a company with SEK as its accounting currency, resulting in recorded amounts for bond movements (issuances, repayments, etc.) being influenced by the average SEK/EUR exchange rates during the reporting period.

During the period ending December 31, 2024 new loans amounted to EUR 915,738 thousand. This increase is manly driven by the financing agreement ("bridge loan") with JP Morgan, BNP Paribas, SEB, Société Générale and Swedbank, which Asmodee Group AB entered into on April 16, 2024, for an amount of EUR 911,9381 thousand (maturity of 18 months and a variable interest of 3,50% + 3 months Euribor).
On December 12, 2024 this bridge loan was fully repaid, following to the issuance of bonds by the company (See Note 6). During the period, the company also repaid other liabilities to credit institutions for EUR -14,569 thousand.
The bridge loan was accounted at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method (EIR). The amount of costs incurred by the company to set this financing amounted to EUR -12,889 thousand (fully amortized following repayment on December 12, 2024) and is presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows under "Paid interests".
As of December 31, 2024, the "liabilities to credit institutions" amounts to EUR 18,738 thousand of other financing subscribed prior to March 2024.
On December 12, 2024, the company entered into a lending agreement under which certain lenders provide a Revolving Credit Facility of up to EUR 150 million. The Revolving Credit Facility had not been utilized on the period ending December 31, 2024.
1 This EUR 900 million bridge loan is accounted by a company with SEK as its accounting currency, resulting in recorded amounts for liabilities to credit institutions (new loan, repayments, etc.) being influenced by the average SEK/EUR exchange rates during the reporting period. This affects the values recognized in the financial statements and the notes.

| Total undiscounted expected payments | 153,689 | 10,037 | 143,652 |
Undiscounted expected payments are estimates based on expected outcome of financial targets for each individual agreement and applicable terms. The settlement of the underlying acquisitions may vary over time depending on, among other things, the terms and conditions of the relevant agreements and, the degree of performance fulfillment relating to the acquired businesses.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurement is based on the fair value hierarchy which includes the following levels:
As of December 31, 2024, the only significant financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value relates to the financial liabilities "Put / Call options on non-controlling interests", classified under "Level 3", and amounting to EUR 84,986 thousand.
For current receivables and liabilities, such as trade receivables and trade payables and for liabilities to credit institutions at variable interest rate, the carrying amount is considered to be a good approximation of the fair value.
Put/call options on non-controlling interest refers to put/call option on non-controlling interests in business combination where the selling shareholders keep some ownership and there is a contractual obligation where Asmodee will purchase the remaining interest if the holder of the option determines to exercise.
The Group's Put/call options will be settled in cash. The fair value has been calculated based on expected outcome of financial targets for each individual agreement. The estimated expected settlement will vary over time depending on, among other things, the degree of fulfillment of the conditions for the Put/call options.
The Group's Put/call options are measured at fair value by discounting expected cash flows at a riskadjusted discount rate. Measurement is therefore in accordance with Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Significant unobservable input data consists of forecasted financial targets.

On April 19, 2024, the March 2022 shareholders' agreement between the Embracer Group AB and the noncontrolling interest of Financière Amuse Topco was replaced by a new shareholders' agreement. In application of this agreement the put / call options on the non-controlling interests of Financière Amuse Topco were canceled, for an amount of EUR -78,902 thousand, and the non-controlling interest proceeded at a capital increase in kind in Asmodee Group AB, by contributing the shares they held in Les Nouveaux Amis d'Asmodee SAS and Asmodee III SAS as payment for the newly issued 68,806,658 B shares of Asmodee Group AB (see Note 5.2). As a result of these transactions, the companies Financière Amuse Topco, Les Nouveaux Amis d'Asmodee SAS and Asmodee III SAS are all owned at 100% by Asmodee Group AB. The simultaneous acquisition of non-controlling interest and of the put option cancellation generated a loss of EUR -34,628 thousand (accounted in Retained Earnings). Such a loss represents the difference between the carrying amount of the previously held interest and the consideration paid for the non-controlling interest.
Unrealized gains or losses for put/call options on non-controlling interest amounted to EUR 5,657 thousand, resulting from the net present value calculation.
Unrealized gains or losses for put/call options on non-controlling interest amounted to EUR -101,864 thousand., which was recognized in the financial result in the statement of profit or loss. The exercise price of the shares for the put option related to Financière Amuse Topco is based on the Embracer Group AB share value. The revaluation for the period ending March 31, 2024 amounted to EUR -82,432 thousand, and result from the share value of Embracer Group AB decreasing. The exercise price of the shares for the put option related to Exploding Kittens is based on Exploding Kittens operational performance and the decrease recorded on the period ending March 31, 2024 for EUR -19,432 thousand reflects the decrease in its expected performance.
Given the Put/call options on non-controlling interest recognized at the end of the reporting period, a higher discount factor of 1.5 percentage points will have an impact on the fair value of the Put/call options on noncontrolling interest, as of December 31, 2024, of EUR -1,703 thousand.
See note 5.
Of the EUR 892,178 thousand of dividends distributed in the period ending December 31, 2024 (See Note 5.4), the distributed dividends to key management personnel amounts to EUR 26,404 thousand.

The consultancy agreement was terminated as per December 31, 2024. The expenses for the consultancy agreement provided by Plume Finance / Marc Nunes, amount to EUR 946 thousand in the period between April 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024.

This interim report for the Parent company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554), Interim reports, and the recommendation issued by The Swedish Corporate Reporting Board RFR 2 "Accounting for legal entities".
The Parent company applies the same accounting policies as the Group with the certain exceptions and additions specified in RFR 2 as listed below. Unless otherwise indicated, the accounting policies stated below for the parent company have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Parent company's financial statements.
The Parent company has previously applied the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the general guideline BFNAR 2012:1 (K3) published by The Swedish Accounting Standards Board. Starting from this interim report and as a consequence of the Group's transition to IFRS, the Parent company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2. The date of transition to RFR 2 is April 1, 2022. For the Parent company's transition to RFR 2 see note P5.
The presentation and accounting currency for the Parent company is currently SEK. The Parent company intends to change presentation and accounting currency to EUR starting on April 1, 2025 as a change of accounting currency is only allowed at the start of a new financial year in accordance with Swedish law. A functional currency is not determined for the company in accordance with RFR 2.
All amounts are presented in millions of SEK ("m.SEK"), unless otherwise indicated. Rounding differences may occur.
Dividends are recognized when the right to receive payment is considered certain. Revenue from divestment of subsidiaries is recognized when control of the subsidiary has been transferred to the acquirer.
The Parent company recognizes both received and paid group contributions as appropriations in the income statement in accordance with the alternative method in RFR 2. Shareholder contributions paid by the Parent company are recognized as an increase of shares in subsidiaries in the Parent company. Shareholder contributions received are recognized as an increase of non-restricted equity
Shares in subsidiaries are recognized in the Parent company in accordance with the cost method. This means that transaction costs are included in the carrying amount of the investment. If carrying amount exceeds the value of the investment, an impairment loss is recognized in the income statement. Shares in subsidiaries are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period. If a previous impairment loss recognized in previous periods no longer exists, it is reversed.
The Parent company applies the exemption to not apply IFRS 9 Financial Instruments in the legal entity. Instead, the Parent company applies, in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, the cost method. In the Parent company, non-current financial assets are thus measured at cost and current financial assets are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Parent company does, however, apply the expected credit loss method (ECL) in accordance with IFRS 9 for financial assets that are debt instruments. Put option liabilities (for the non-controlling interest in the Group) are measured at the amount that the Parent company deems would need to be paid if it was settled at the end of the reporting period. The Parent company applies the exemption to not measure financial guarantee contracts for the benefit of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in accordance with IFRS 9. Instead, the Parent company applies the policies for measurement in IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
Financial assets, including intra-group receivables, are subject to impairment for expected credit losses (ECL). For receivables from Group companies and other items subject of expected credit losses, an impairment method with three stages is applied in accordance with IFRS 9. The Parent company applies a rating-based method for assessment of expected credit losses based on the probability of default, expected loss given default and exposure at default. The Parent company assesses that the subsidiaries currently have similar risk profiles and assessment is made on a collective basis. The assessment has been based on the Asmodee Group's credit risk, which has been adjusted to reflect the subsidiaries' assessed credit risk. At the end of the reporting period, the expected credit losses have resulted in a decrease of receivables from Group companies and an impairment loss in the income statement. Expected credit losses for cash and cash equivalents have not been recognized, as the amount has been deemed insignificant.
Assumptions are made about future conditions to estimate the future cash flows that determine the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is compared with the carrying amount for shares in subsidiaries and forms the basis for any impairments or reversals. The assumptions that primarily affect the recoverable amount are future earnings development and discount rate. If future external factors and conditions change, assumptions made may be affected leading to a change in carrying value of the shares in subsidiaries. The assumptions used when calculating the value for the shares in subsidiaries correspond in all material aspects to the assumptions used in the impairment test for goodwill as described in the consolidated financial statements of Asmodee Group AB as of and for the financial years ending March 31, 2024 and 2023.
On April 16, 2024 Asmodee Group AB entered into a financing agreement with JP Morgan, BNP Paribas, SEB, Société Générale and Swedbank. The financing, denominated in EUR amounts to m.SEK 10 473 (EUR 900 million), had a maturity of 18 months and a variable interest of 3,50% + 3 months Euribor. On December 12, 2024 this financing was fully repaid, following to the issuances of bonds by the Company.
On December 12, 2024, the Company raised a new finance by issuing new bonds denominated in EUR of total m.SEK 10 771 (EUR 940 million). The total amount comprises m.SEK 6 875 (EUR 600 million) of fixed rate bonds issued at par interest rate of 5,750% (paid on semi-annual basis) with maturity date as of December 15, 2029, and m.SEK 3 896 (EUR 340 million) of floating rate bonds issued at par with maturity date as of December 15, 2029. The floating rate bond bear interest at a rate equal to three-month Euribor (subject to a 0% floor) plus 3,75% per annum, reset quarterly. The first interest payment on the fixed rate bond is due June 15, 2025.
On December 12, 2024, the Company entered into a lending agreement under which certain lenders provide a Revolving Credit Facility denominated in EUR of up to m.SEK 1 719 (EUR 150 million). The Revolving Credit Facility had not been utilized during the period ended December 31, 2024.
On April 19, 2024, the March 2022 shareholders' agreement between the Embracer Group AB and the noncontrolling interest of Financière Amuse Topco was replaced by a new shareholders' agreement. In application of this agreement the put / call options on the non-controlling interests of Financière Amuse Topco (m.SEK 906 as of March 31, 2024) were canceled, and the non-controlling interest proceeded at a capital increase in kind in Asmodee Group AB, by contributing the shares they held in Les Nouveaux Amis d'Asmodee SAS and Asmodee III SAS as payment for the newly issued 68,806,658 B shares of Asmodee Group AB. As a result of these transactions, the companies Financière Amuse Topco, Les Nouveaux Amis d'Asmodee SAS and Asmodee III SAS are all owned at 100% by Asmodee Group AB.
On April 19, 2024 the share capital was changed in preparation for the separate listing of Asmodee. The share capital has been changed as a result of a split of the existing 250 shares. 10 shares become 54,000,000 "A shares" (10 vote rights) and 240 shares become 1,335,952,865 "B shares" (1 vote right).
On September 18, 2024, the Company proceeded at an increase of the share capital through a bonus issue for m.SEK 0.6 which resulted in a new par value of 0.0004 SEK.
On April 19, 2024 it was resolved to issue 68,806,658 B shares to the shareholders (excluding Asmodee Group AB) of Les Nouveaux Amis d'Asmodee SAS and Asmodee III SAS who contributed the shares they held in Les Nouveaux Amis d'Asmodee SAS and Asmodee III SAS as payment for the shares in Asmodee Group AB. This operation resulted in an share premium reserve of m.SEK 1 317.
On April 11, 2024, a dividend of m.SEK 14 distributed to Embracer Group AB.
On April 16, 2024, a dividend of m.SEK 9 875 was distributed to Embracer Group AB.
On April 19, 2024 a dividend of m.SEK 495 as dividend was distributed to the shareholders other than Embracer Group AB shareholders.
Refer to Note P3.
On August 27, 2024, in preparation for the admission of trading of the Asmodee shares on Nasdaq Stockholm, Thomas Kœgler was appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of Asmodee. A Board of Directors for Asmodee Group AB has also been appointed and formed, which consists of:
Each Board member receives a fixed amount of remuneration annually to be paid in equal installments during each quarter. Members of board committees will also receive additional remuneration for those on the audit, sustainability committee and remuneration committees. Total amount of remuneration for the Board of directors during the period is SEK 9 257 thousand.
The Parent company has previously applied the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and BFNAR 2012:1 Annual Accounts and Consolidated Accounts (K3) in the preparation of financial statements. As of this financial report, as a result of the Group's transition to IFRS, the Parent company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The date of the Parent company's transition to RFR 2 is April 1, 2022. The accounting policies included in Note P1 have been applied when the interim report is prepared as of December 31, 2024 and for the historical comparative periods presented.
The effect of the transition to RFR 2 is recognized directly against unrestricted equity in the opening balance as of April 1, 2022. Previously published financial information for the periods April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023 and April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024, prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and BFNAR 2012:1 (K3), has been converted to RFR 2.
As a result of applying the expected credit loss model required by RFR 2 (as defined in IFRS 9) the Parent company has recognized an impairment loss of intercompany receivables for the period April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024 to the amount of m.SEK 20, resulting in an increase in tax income of m.SEK 4. The net effect on the profit for the period is m.SEK -16. The effects on other periods are insignificant.
The impact on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 for the Parent company related to the ECL impairment is a reduction of the value of inter-company receivables by m.SEK 20, an increase in deferred tax assets by m.SEK 4 and a decrease in unrestricted equity by m.SEK 16.
The transition to RFR 2 has had no effect on the parent company's cash flow.
As a result of the Group's transition to IFRS, an impairment need was identified on intellectual properties and goodwill as of March 31, 2024. The identified impairment was an indication to further test shares in subsidiaries for impairment, resulting in an impairment loss of m.SEK 2 615 as of March 31, 2024. As the Parent company already had published its annual report, the impairment identified is a correction of error.
| m.SEK | 31 Mar 24 |
|---|---|
| Shares in subsidiaris in the published annual report | 23,101 |
| Impairment | -2,615 |
| Shares in subsidiaries - corrected value | 20,485 |
The impairment loss is recognized as a part of financial net items in the income statement.
Refer to Note 11 Material events after the reporting period..
In accordance with the guidelines from ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority), regarding the disclosure of alternative performance measures, the definition and reconciliation of Asmodee's alternative performance measures (APM's) are presented below. The guidelines entail increased disclosures regarding the financial measures that are not defined by IFRS. The performance measures presented below are reported in this report. They are used for internal control and follow-up. Since not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies.
An important part of Asmodee's strategy is to pursue inorganic growth opportunities through acquisitions, thereby expanding the group's IP portfolio, geographic reach and pool of creative talent. An acquisitive strategy is associated with certain complexity in terms of accounting for business combinations. The board and management of Asmodee believe that it is important to separate the underlying operational performance of the business from impacts arising from acquisitions.
In addition, Asmodee, from time to time, implements strategic programs or initiatives including business restructurings and transformations. In some cases, these initiatives can give rise to one-off costs that are sufficiently material, in the board and management's judgement, to impact the reliable comparison of Asmodee's underlying operating results from period to period.
Certain APM's are thus used to provide internal and external stakeholders the best picture of the underlying operational performance of the business, by the measurement of performance excluding specific items related to historical acquisitions and, when relevant, items affecting comparability
