MIGHTY KINGDOM QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES UPDATE AND APPENDIX 4C

Quarter Ended 30 September 2021

Mighty Kingdom Limited (ASX: MKL) (“MK” or the “Company”), is pleased to provide its Quarterly Activities Update and Appendix 4C for the September 2021 Quarter (“Q1 FY22”).

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Record unaudited revenue of $1.2 million, representing 142% increase on previous comparable quarter and 25% increase quarter-on-quarter

==> picture [10 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

  • Ava’s Manor experienced significant uplift in life-time value of 43% vs Q4 FY21 and increased 40% in day-30 conversion rate vs Q4 FY21 post release of additional Mighty Kingdom content

  • Significant investment into co-development and original IP titles to be released in Q2 and Q3 FY22

MK Managing Director and CEO, Mr Philip Mayes commented:

The increase in revenue is primarily driven by enhanced contracts with work-for-hire partners. However, we have also experienced a significant enhancement in codevelopment projects that are currently in market. Ava’s Manor is of particular note as we have seen a steady increase in its performance metrics since release and now expect it to represent a steady revenue stream post Q2 FY22.

In addition, we have made significant progress developing our co-development and original IP projects during the September quarter. This is exemplified by positive feedback on Conan Chop Chop and Ball Stars from market user testing, and we are excited to provide more information and release each title to market in the coming months.

OPERATIONAL SUMMARY

MK recorded unaudited revenue of $1.2m for the quarter ended 30 September 2021, representing 142% growth on Q1 FY21. This growth was primarily driven by extending contracts with co-development and work for hire partners such as Spin Master (Gabby’s Dollhouse) and Funcom (Conan Chop Chop).

The Company has continued its investment in high-quality co-development and original IP titles and has made significant progress on the development of its game with Canada based East Side Games, as well as original IP project, Ball Stars, which has had ongoing user and market testing yielding overwhelmingly positive sentiment.

PROJECT PIPELINE

Original IP

Project Ball Stars

Project Ball Stars has made strong progress including finalising multiplayer gameplay technology and cementing its branding and art style. Player testing continues to generate positive sentiment from players and industry. Final content for the game is being implemented at pace and the Company is on track to launch the game in FY22.

Project Broken Ridge

MK has entered into a licensing contract to develop a game tied to an Australian film currently in production. The Company has completed early development through to prototype phase and the project shows great promise. Development will continue throughout FY22 with release currently expected for FY23.

Wild Life

MK is currently enhancing the user experience to capitalise on its strong player engagement, with an update expected to be released in Q3 FY22.

Co-Development

Ava’s Manor

MK has significantly enhanced the performance of Ava’s Manor by developing extensive content and optimising the game’s economy. These changes have resulted enormous improvements in retention rates compared to Q4 FY21. In addition, Average Revenue per Daily Active User (“ARPDAU”) increased 32%, day-30 life-time value (“LTV") increased 43% and day-30 conversion rate (the rate at which players convert to paying for content) increased 40% over the same period. These results indicate that there is likely to be significant upside from increased marketing spend from MK's co-development partner in future quarters.

Peter Rabbit Run

The Company expects to release a technical update in Q3 FY22 which will further improve gameplay performance and seek to increase advertising revenue through the introduction of more global advertising partners in game.

Conan Chop Chop

Conan Chop Chop is in the final stage of development and is on track to be released in FY22. Positive feedback from external mock reviewers has noted significant improvements to all aspects of the game and predicting an average review score of between 75-80.

East Side Games

The development of the game from a major science-fiction franchise, and the overall partnership with East Side Games is progressing well, with the major milestone of a technical release (where the game is put in market for load testing and generation of initial user data) of the title targeted for Q2 FY22. Initial feedback from East Side Games has been universally strong, with specific praise for the game’s narrative and humour in line with the IP.

Work For Hire

Barbie Fashion Closet

Since contracting with Mattel in Q3 FY21, MK has developed significant content for its Barbie Fashion Closet title by adding the Barbie Extra!™ and Barbie Fashionista!™ lines to the app. The Company and Mattel will be releasing these changes to the game in Q2 FY22. MK is currently working on additional updates to be released throughout the year and is confident of a successful relaunch.

Gabby’s Dollhouse

User downloads for the game increased 33% quarter-on-quarter and have now surpassed 7 million year-to-date. The brand remains strong in market and the Company expects this to continue with season 3 of the Netflix series to be released in November 2021. In addition, in-game tie-ins to the Spin Master toy range are showing great results.

Shopkins

MK continues to support the Shopkins titles in market and the operational performance and revenue generation potential remain steady across all platforms.

OPERATING CASHFLOWS

During Q1 FY22, the Company received $0.9m cash from customers, including additional cash received from Spin Master’s extended contract.

In addition, approximately $500k was billed during the quarter but not received by 30 September 2021, the cash benefit of which will be seen during Q2 FY22.

The Company reported $3.7m in operating cash outflows, in line with post-IPO expectations around an increase in staffing levels prior to release of key new games into market.

MK has $9.5 million cash at bank as of 30 September 2021.
