  • The accumulated number of downloads of the group's games (not counting updates) surpassed 180 million.
  • The group continued working on improving free-to-play games in its portfolio and working on new free-toplay games.

Important events after the end of the period

  • In free-to-play business model, the group's increased marketing spending allows balancing the inflow of new users during the "low" season in the application stores and accelerate user acquisition during the "high" season. During 14Q3 and after the end of the period, many new great hardware devices, smartphones and tablets, were announced and/or launched to the market in time for the holidays, which should benefit the installed base of devices G5 games are addressing. With the new higher level of marketing expenses and new game updates and releases coming out, the management is looking forward to 14Q4 and 15Q1, historically the strongest quarters in the year.
  • The company continues to work on upcoming new free-to-play games, with the aim to have more than 10

free-to-play games in the portfolio before 2015. Most of new games that are scheduled to come out before the end of the year are owned by G5 and developed either internally or by 3rd party studios under work-forhire contracts.

The group's office in Kharkov continues business as usual. It is the group's policy to keep critical code and materials backed up outside Ukraine, keep intellectual property rights in EU entities, and transfer funds to subsidiaries on as-needed basis.

G5 Entertainment AB is a developer and publisher of high quality downloadable games for iOS, Android, Kindle Fire, Mac, and Windows 8. G5 develops and publishes games that are family-friendly, easy to learn, and targeted at the widest audience of experienced and novice players. G5's portfolio includes a number of popular games like The Secret Society, Virtual City, Special Enquiry Detail, Supermarket Mania, Stand O' Food, and Mahjong Artifacts. G5 Entertainment AB is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm since 2014.

Comments by the Chief Executive Officer

14Q3 is a new record revenue quarter for the company, the fourth in a row after mixed performance during the transitional year 2013. The company continues to benefit from the transition it accomplished in 2013, when the emphasis was put on free-to-play games, which now generate the majority of the company's revenue. While the company still has smaller part of its revenue coming from unlockable games, the growth comes from free-to-play games.

Management believes that the year-on-year top line growth of 104% reflects continued improvement and the ongoing benefits of the shift in strategy towards free-to-play games. The operating result and margin are better in 14Q3 than a year ago but lower than in 14Q2, in part because of the increased user acquisition costs in pursuit of growth as part of the implementation and deployment of the new games and strategy. Despite temporarily lower margins, the company has high operating leverage, a strong liquidity position, and free-to-play revenue can be scaled substantially. Consistent with these other improvements and strengths, management remains confident that future results will continue to reflect a return to a 30% margin over the long term through organic top line growth, but in order to do so, it retains the flexibility to increase or decrease user acquisition spending (Sales and Marketing expense category) as we deem fit for the purpose of balancing growth, profitability, and cash flow. This may have both positive and negative effects on the operating margin in the short term.

The company continues to invest actively not only in product development but also in improving its publishing platform toolset, which comprises of analytical, marketing, and game management tools. These tools are designed to make the development, deployment, performance analysis, and marketing of free-to-play games more effective, enhancing the ability of the development teams to focus on creative aspects and achieve targets for usage, engagement, and monetization parameters. The management sees the publishing platform tools as an important competitive advantage for the company.

With the listing on Nasdaq Stockholm main market and strengthened team and tools, we have built the foundation for further growth. The company is profitable and has the funds to continue investing in improvement and marketing of its existing free-to-play games, and the development of new free-to-play games, several of which are going to be released before the end of the year. It remains our goal to have over 10 free-to-play games in our portfolio before 2015.

Financial key ratios

July-September

Year-on-year revenues grew by 104% during the period, driven by the strong growth for the group's free-to-playgames, to 44 653 (21 910) kSEK. G5 reports revenue net of the application stores' fees, which usually are 30% of the price that the end user pays. Revenue from free-to-play-games grew by 147% during 14Q3 compared to the same quarter 2013. Revenue from the unlockable games portfolio decreased somewhat compared to the previous quarter. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) was -846 (-4 637) kSEK, corresponding to an EBIT-margin of - 2%. Excluding write-downs and re-listing expenses, EBIT was 1 966 kSEK, corresponding to an EBIT-margin of 4%. The accumulated number of downloads of the group's games (not counting updates) surpassed 180 million.

January-September

Year-on-year revenues grew by 74% during the period, driven by the strong growth for the group's free-to-playgames, to 124 399 (71 289) kSEK. Revenue from free-to-play-games grew by 189% during the period compared to the same period 2013.

Revenue share from free-to-play games and unlockable games 2012-2014

The group's production cost was 73 739 (44 771) kSEK during the period. The group booked 47 998 (22 785) kSEK in royalty to external developers, corresponding to 38% (32%) of revenue. The gross profit for the period was 50 660 (26 518) kSEK, corresponding to a gross margin of 41% (37%).

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) was 6 663 (8 692) kSEK. The operating margin was 5% (12%) for the period. Excluding write-downs and re-listing expenses, EBIT was 10 884 kSEK, corresponding to an EBIT-margin of 9%. The change in EBIT compared to the same period in 2013 can primarily be explained by:

  • An increase in the level of user acquisition expenses. G5 continues to invest in acquisition of users, and the costs for marketing during the period were 22 494 (7 447) kSEK, corresponding to 18% (10%) of revenue.
  • Increased administrative costs in order to ensure the group's capacity for further growth, and due to higher demands caused by the listing on Nasdaq Stockholm.
  • Ongoing investments in publishing tools, which are not being capitalized.

The company's publishing strategy is based on having a certain number of different games in the portfolio, in order to maximize potential and reduce risk. Some of these games become very successful and profitable, while a few other games may fail in the market. Capitalized development expenses for unsuccessful games will then have to be written down or off. Over time, the company however expects such write-downs to be more than compensated for by the revenue and profits produced by very successful games in the portfolio.

During the third quarter, a number of unlockable games have been cancelled due to a limited future potential. Another cancellation was an experimental F2P-game, Pet Zoometery, that was launched in 2013, and was licensed from a 3rd party development studio.

A regular impairment test of the entire game portfolio has also resulted in a need for write-downs of a small number of older games. The total write-down amount is equal to 2 443 kSEK. This amount includes both a writedown of capitalized development costs, i. e. costs that arise from internal development activities, 1 549 kSEK, and a write-down of advances to external developers, 894 kSEK. Unlockable games constitute the absolute majority of the write-downs. The write-downs have no cash flow-effect.

At the end of the reporting period the company carried out a sale of all remaining intellectual property rights from G5 Sweden to G5 Malta. The purpose is to create a clearer organizational setup, where G5 Malta procures all development work, while G5 Sweden is the group's distribution entity. The sale resulted in a tax of 423 kSEK.

In certain instances the company has credit terms with external suppliers that are materially longer than the corresponding credit terms with the company's distributors. During the reporting period negative exchange rate effects in excess of 1 MSEK, that impacted the company's profit, resulted from such liabilities to suppliers.

The parent company's revenue and profit development is explained by the same factors as for the group. Sales increased due to the strong growth of free-to-play-games, while costs increased primarily due to user acquisition expenses.

Liquidity and financial position

During the third quarter, the group had an operating cash flow before changes in working capital of 12 426 (5 304) kSEK and a cash flow of 7 527 (-5 255) kSEK.

During the reporting period, the group had an operating cash flow before changes in working capital of 24 982 (20 139) kSEK and a cash flow of 5 349 (20 448) kSEK. The cash flow was affected negatively by fees of 1 778 kSEK to advisors in connection with the listing on Nasdaq Stockholm. The cash flow for the 2013 comparison period includes the proceeds from the new share issues undertaken at the beginning of 2013.

Cash flow from operating activities increased during the reporting period compared to the corresponding period 2013 primarily due to somewhat less taxes paid, and a change in operating liabilities, mostly liabilities to external developers. Operating receivables and liabilities fluctuate over time, depending on the precise dates when payments are made from the group's distributors, relative to the group's book closing dates.

G5 continues to invest in free-to-play-games. During the period, the group capitalized 23 485 (32 162) kSEK of direct development costs, while amortizations of capitalized development costs were 13 024 (16 311) kSEK. Total capitalized development costs at the end of the period were 62 537 (55 767) kSEK, while total outstanding advances to external developers were 4 578 (9 880) kSEK.

Available cash on September 30, 2014, amounted to 33 162 (34 086) kSEK.

The parent company's financial position is solid, in line with the group's.

Outlook

The risks described for the group can also have an indirect effect on the parent company.

Report on review of interim financial information

Introduction

We have reviewed the summarized interim financial information for G5 Entertainment AB (publ) on September 30 2014 and for the nine month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our 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 review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standard of Auditing (ISA), and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

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

During the third quarter, all remaining intellectual property rights (IPRs) have been transferred from G5 Sweden to G5 Malta, in accordance with the company's stated strategy of having all IPRs in G5 Malta. This is in line with a clearer organizational model, where G5 Malta procures all development work, while G5 Sweden is the group's distribution entity.

Note 3 – Tax

G5 Entertainment is active in a number of different jurisdictions, with different tax rates. The Group's effective tax rate consequently varies between periods depending on the distribution of revenues and costs. In 14Q3 the effective tax rate became higher than usual due to combination of revenue distribution among subsidiaries, temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax base of some of the group's intangible assets, and lower group profit during the period.

The deferred tax asset for 2013 is related to loss carry-forwards in the parent company.

A sale of intellectual property rights from G5 Sweden to G5 Malta has also resulted in a tax of 423 kSEK during 14Q3.

Note 4 – Other receivables

Other receivables include 4 578 (9 880) kSEK for prepaid royalties to third party developers. G5 publishes both proprietary games and games licensed from third-party developers. In connection with the conclusion of agreements with third party developers G5 sometimes pays an advance on royalties to fund game development. These advances are usually offset toward the third party developer's contractual share of the revenue that each game generates.

Note 5 – Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

Floating charge 3 000 (700) kSEK, pledged for cheque account with overdraft facility (400 kUSD). The overdraft facility was unused as of September 30, 2014.

Bank account 50 (50) kSEK, pledged for bank guarantee.

Different advisors consulted by the company have different views on a tax matter relating to payment of compensation to developers during previous years. The issue includes among others the interpretation of the applicable tax laws in countries where G5 operates. G5 considers the risk of additional tax to be small, but a certain risk exposure exists, with a maximum amount estimated to 3.5 MSEK.

Note 6 – Fair value

G5 group has no financial instruments that are accounted for at fair value. The carrying amount for financial instruments correspond to fair value.
