Milan, November 13th, 2025 - The Board of Directors of Digital Bros Group (DIB:MI), a video games company listed on the Euronext STAR Milan (ISIN: IT0001469995) and part of the FTSE Italia Small Cap index, today approved the Interim Report as of September 30th, 2025 (first quarter of the fiscal year from July 1st, 2025 to June 30th, 2026).
Digital Bros Group's key consolidated results for the first quarter of FY 2025-2026, together with the previous year comparatives, are as follows:
| Euro thousand | September 30th 2025 |
September 30th, 2024 | Change € | Change % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gross revenue | 45,457 | 21,478 | 23,979 | > 100% |
| Gross operating margin (EBITDA) | 21,952 | 5,911 | 16,041 | > 100% |
| Operating margin (EBIT) | 13,236 | (1,433) | 14,669 | n.m. |
| Profit / (loss) before tax | 8,275 | (2,106) | 10,381 | n.m. |
| Net profit / (net loss) | 4,682 | (2,335) | 7,017 | n.m. |
Consolidated net revenue as of September 30th, 2o25 amounted to Euro 45.5 million, more than doubling the Euro 21.5 million reported in the first quarter of the previous year.
The first quarter of FY2026 benefitted from the successful launch of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, released during the month of June 2025, together with the revenue growth of the Assetto Corsa brand.
A breakdown of net revenue by operating segment as of September 30th, 2025 is provided below:
| Euro thousand | September 30th, 2025 | September 30th, 2024 | Change € | Change % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premium Games | 43,220 | 16,989 | 26,231 | n.m. |
| Free to Play | 2,102 | 3,453 | (1,351) | -39.1% |
| Italian Distribution | 79 | 909 | (830) | -91.3% |
| Other Activities | 56 | 127 | (71) | -56.0% |
| Total net revenue | 45,457 | 21,478 | 23,979 | n.m. |
Premium Games revenue amounted to Euro 43.2 million, increasing from Euro 17 million realized in the first quarter of the last fiscal year and representing 95% of total revenue. The Assetto Corsa brand generated Euro 6.4 million during the reporting period, a 9% increase compared to Euro 5.8 million as of September 30th, 2024. The brand benefitted from the launch of the new version Assetto Corsa EVO, in development by the internal studio Kunos Simulazioni. The new title is available in Early Access on Steam ahead of the full game release.
The significant volumes generated by Wuchang: Fallen Feathers in the quarter drove the increase in the revenue share from co-owned IPs and long-term publishing agreements, which were 72% of the total Premium Games revenue.
{2}------------------------------------------------
A breakdown of Premium Games revenue by the type of rights held by the Group as of September 30th, 2025 is provided below compared to the previous fiscal year:


Free to Play revenue amounted to Euro 2.1 million, down 39.1% compared to the first quarter in the previous fiscal year. The subsidiary 505 Go! experienced some technical issues during the month of August, which temporarily reduced its revenue streams. Such difficulties were resolved during the quarter.
Revenue was generated almost entirely in foreign markets. Digital sales accounted for 92% of total revenue, in line with the last fiscal years.
The cost of sales went from Euro 7,625 thousand (35.5% of revenue) to Euro 14,715 thousand (32.4% of revenue), reflecting the different product mix. The incidence of royalties on revenues increased from 22.2% to 27.3%, due to the lower contribution of revenues from owned IPs, which typically carry lower royalty rates. As a result, gross profit represented 64.5% of revenue, going from Euro 13,853 thousand to Euro 30,742 thousand.
Other revenue amounted to Euro 2,127 thousand, up 22.1% compared to Euro 1,742 thousand as of September 30th, 2024. The capitalization of internal studio video game development included the development of the video game Assetto Corsa EVO by the subsidiary Kunos Simulazioni S.r.l and the new video game Assetto Corsa Rally, in development by the subsidiary Supernova Games Studio S.r.l..
Total operating costs increased by 12.7% compared to Euro 9,684 thousand in the first quarter of the last fiscal year. The increase was mainly attributable to higher marketing and advertising costs supporting the launch of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. Payroll costs remained largely unchanged compared to September 30th, 2024.
As of September 30th, 2025, the EBITDA margin was 48.3% of revenue and amounted to Euro 21,952 thousand, increasing by Euro 16,041 thousand.
Depreciation and amortization amounted to Euro 8,716 thousand, up by Euro 1,399 thousand from Euro 7,317 thousand as of September 30th, 2024.
The EBIT margin was positive at Euro 13,236 thousand, significantly improved compared to the negative EBIT at Euro 1,433 of the first quarter of the previous fiscal year.
The net interest expense amounted to Euro 4,961 thousand, compared to Euro 673 thousand as of September 30th, 2024. Financial expenses include Euro 4.895 thousand relating to the write offs of the equity investment in Starbreeze AB in accordance with IAS 28, reflecting Digital Bros' share of the losses recognized by the associate in the quarter. Until May 15th, 2025, the equity investment had been valued at fair value with changes recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, as the Group did not consider having significant influence over the Swedish company prior to that date.
The profit before tax was at Euro 8,275 thousand, improved by Euro 10,381 thousand from the Euro 2,106 thousand loss before tax realized as of September 30th, 2024.
As of September 30th, 2025, the consolidated net profit amounted to Euro 4,682 thousand, compared to the net loss at Euro 2,335 thousand of the first quarter in the last fiscal year.
The net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Parent Company amounted to Euro 4,586 thousand, improved by Euro 6,888 thousand compared to the previous reporting period. The net profit attributable to non-controlling interest amounted to Euro 96 thousand, compared to the net loss at Euro 33 thousand as of September 30th, 2024.
{3}------------------------------------------------
The basic earnings per share were at Euro 0.32 and the diluted earnings per share amounted to Euro 0.31, compared to Euro 0.16 loss per share as of September 30th, 2024.
As of September 30th, 2025, the Group's restated net financial position was positive at Euro 4,934 thousand, improving by Euro 21,486 thousand compared to June 30th, 2025. The Group expects to be able to meet its current liabilities through the projected future cash flow. The restated net financial position, excluding the impact of IFRS 16, was positive at Euro 7,120 thousand.
The net financial position prepared in accordance with the "Guidelines on disclosure requirements under the Prospectus Regulation" issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), was positive at Euro 2,073 thousand, improving by Euro 21,446 thousand from June 30th, 2025.
As of September 30th, 2025, Digital Bros S.p.A. did not hold any treasury shares, and no transactions have been made in the period, in accordance with Art. 2428 paragraph 2, comma 3 of the Italian Civil Code.
No significant events occurred during the reporting period.
On October 27th, 2025, the Shareholders' Meeting of Digital Bros S.p.A. approved the Financial Statements for the fiscal year 2024-2025.
In the previous fiscal year, the Group reduced the number of video games under development in response to ongoing market uncertainties, discontinuing certain projects initiated in prior years. As a result, the current fiscal year is expected to see fewer new launches, characterized by more predictable demand and a better-balanced risk profile.
On November 13th, 2025, the new title Assetto Corsa Rally, developed by the subsidiary Supernova Games Studios, will be launched in Early Access for PC. In the second half of the fiscal year, the release schedule will see the highly anticipated indie title Nivalis, which has already gained a significant number of wishlists on the main digital platforms, and a new version of Blades of Fire. The video game Assetto Corsa EVO remains available in Early Access on Steam and will continue to be enhanced with new features and content according to the roadmap shared with the player community across the different platforms.
With regards to the Free to Play operating segment, the corrective measures implemented in response to the technical issues affecting the titles published by the subsidiary 505 Go Inc. have resulted in the internalization of live support activities. The beneficial effects on the cost structure from this decision are expected to become evident starting from the third quarter of the current fiscal year. Development activities will continue on the new title in the Puzzle Quest series, with a release window scheduled for the next fiscal year.
Consolidated revenues for the current fiscal year are therefore expected to grow, driven by the Premium Games segment, only partially offset by the anticipated contraction in the Free to Play operating segment.
The expected increase in revenues, combined with cost reductions resulting from the initiatives implemented by the Group in the previous fiscal year, will enable EBIT to be positive at fiscal year-end.
The Group expects to return to a net financial debt position in the next quarter and until the end of the fiscal year, but at levels significantly lower than those reported as of June 30th, 2025.
