The third quarter marks a quarter of strong sequential growth. We generated revenue of EUR 52 million, equivalent to 39 percent growth compared to the same period in 2024 and 15 percent growth compared to the second quarter this year. Year-to-date we have generated revenue of EUR 142 million, equivalent to 52 percent growth vs the same period 2024 and well above our longterm financial target of 30% revenue growth. This growth, all of which is organic, is a result of delivering on our growth strategy of developing and launching new games on our strong platform and expanding with both new and existing customers.
During the second quarter we accelerated the pace of new in-house developed games from three to four games per month, a pace we have kept during the third quarter and plan to keep for the next few quarters. The 12 in-house developed games we released this quarter have been positively received by our customers. In addition, our six partner studios released 15 games during the quarter which were also well-received by our customers. OpenRGS continues to be a relatively small, but fast-growing share of our revenue, and is an important part of our strategy.
We also saw an increase in the daily average number of rounds played in our portfolio, increasing by 50 percent compared to the third quarter last year. Launching new games strengthens the overall portfolio both in terms of growth and diversification, with our top ten games accounting for 45 percent of gross gaming revenue (GGR) in the quarter, compared to 60 percent last year. At the end of the quarter, our portfolio of launched games comprised 268 compared to 185 in the same period last year.
We expanded our customer base during the quarter and signed a total of 48 new deals. Notable deals include Betnacional (Flutter Group) and Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation. The signing of deals with both new and existing customers underscores both our team's strength as well as the significant market opportunity ahead of us. To further support this momentum, we continue to strengthen our commercial team by adding new talent. Our current market share remains relatively small in a large and growing market, which provides substantial room for continued expansion.
Adjusted operating profit (EBIT) increased with 29 percent during the quarter compared to previous year, and 13 percent compared to the previous quarter. Given our changing business mix with increasing share of third-party content through our OpenRGS platform over the past quarters, which makes our year-over-year development less comparable, our sequential margin development gives a more accurate view. We note that our adjusted EBIT margin for the quarter was 81 compared to 82 in the previous quarter, explained by our business mix as well as increased commercial initiatives.
Hacksaw's group strategy is strong and focuses on the twin pillars of product innovation and increasing monetisation. We will continue to launch and develop new games, and we will continue to increase monetisation by growing with our customer base globally, as well as securing new customers.
As we enter the final months of the year, I want to reemphasize the significant market opportunities and the strong pipeline we face. We have an exceptional team that we continuously expand, a proven strategy, and a fairly small market share from which to grow. I look forward to concluding the year on a strong note and to continue the work to realize the full potential of the business.
Christoffer Källberg Group CEO
Total revenue for the third quarter amounted to EUR 52.0 million (37.3), an increase of 39% compared to the corresponding period last year. The growth continued to be driven by the strength of the back catalogue of games, the launch of new games, and the growth in the customer base which also contributed to the increased daily number of rounds played in the games portfolio.
The average daily number of rounds played increased by 50% compared to Q3 2024. The continued broadening of the games portfolio was reflected in the top 10 games contributing 45% (60) of total gross gaming revenue (GGR)
Revenue by quarter, EUR million

in the quarter. 12 (10) in-house developed games were released in the quarter.
Third party studios released 15 (6) games on the OpenRGS platform in the quarter. By the end of the period, six third party studios had released games on the platform.
During the quarter, Hacksaw's games were made available in the locally licensed iGaming market in Pennsylvania. The total games portfolio comprised 268 (185) released games at the end of the quarter, and the games were available in over 35 locally licensed markets.

* During the second and third quarter 2024, a total of 3 unique games were launched per month. The remaining games launched were alternative versions of existing games.


Adjusted operating profit for the quarter amounted to EUR 42.1 million (32.6), an increase of 29% compared to the third quarter of 2024. The adjusted operating margin was 81% (87).
The operating profit has been adjusted for EUR 1.1 million (0.3) of items affecting comparability (IAC), which mainly comprised advisory costs related to the initial public offering (for more information, please refer to Note 5: Items affecting comparability). The operating profit for the quarter, including the IAC, amounted to EUR 41.0 million (32.3).
Operating expenses for the quarter amounted to EUR 11.0 million (5.0), primarily as a result of the aforementioned IAC, as well as the increase in software license fees paid to third party studios, which are accounted for as Costs of services sold. An increase in third party studio sales leads to higher revenue and higher earnings, but lower gross margins compared to our in-house developed games. The year on year increase in operating expenses was also driven by higher personnel costs as the total headcount was increased to enable the ongoing scaling of the business, costs related to various strategic projects to drive the continued growth and development of the business, and higher depreciation costs, primarily related to intangible assets such as capitalised development costs, patents, and trademarks.

Financial items amounted to EUR 0.1 million (0.1) and mainly related to interest income on short-term investments of cash and cash equivalents.
Profit for the period amounted to EUR 38.7 million (30.4). Earnings per share before dilution amounted to EUR 0.134 (0.107), and earnings per share after dilution amounted to EUR 0.134 (0.106). Earnings per share for all periods have been recalculated to adjust for the share split and the bonus issue. For further information, please refer to The share on page 6.
The Group's effective tax rate was 5.9% (6.1). The tax rate reflects the countries in which earnings are generated and may vary between reporting periods. The effective tax rate included FX related expenses in the parent company.
Investments in intangible assets amounted to EUR 1.6 million (1.1) during the quarter and related to the capitalisation of development costs, patents and trademarks. Investments in tangible assets amounted to EUR 0.1 million (0.0) during the quarter and mainly related to investments in office equipment.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to EUR 42.2 million (32.6) for the quarter. The increase is mainly related to the increase in earnings.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 36.7 million (15.7) for the quarter. Changes in working capital included the payments of debt coupon tax of EUR 6.8 million, which is attributable to dividends paid to shareholders during the first quarter of 2025.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR -1.9 million (-1.2) and included the acquisition of intangible assets related to the development of new games, functional and other improvements to the technical platform, and patents and trademarks.

The operating profit for the year to date, including IAC, amounted to EUR 112.8 million (80.0).
Operating expenses amounted to EUR 29.6 million (13.4).
Financial items amounted to EUR -5.3 million (0.9). The increase in financial costs was mainly related to the parent company, where a realised exchange loss on financial items was recognised when receiving payment of anticipated dividends from subsidiaries in foreign currencies.

Hacksaw AB (Corp. Reg. No. 559133-3793) is the Parent Company of Hacksaw Gaming. The Parent Company, which is domiciled in Stockholm, Sweden, only conducts holding company operations. The gaming operation activities for the Group are domiciled in Malta and are conducted by wholly owned subsidiary Hacksaw Operations Ltd.
Total revenue for the period amounted to SEK 2.3 million (5.2), and total expenses amounted to SEK 68.7 million (20.8). Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK -66.4 million (-15.6), and profit for the period amounted to SEK -23.6 million (9.9).

The increase in financial costs mainly related to the realised currency exchange loss on dividend payments received from subsidiaries in foreign currencies.
The increase in operating expenses compared to last year mainly related to the increase in advisory costs related to the initial public offering, as well as higher personnel expenses.
The Parent Company's cash and bank balances amounted to SEK 10.8 million (48.6) at the end of the period. Equity amounted to SEK 3,095 million (11.5) and the change mainly related to the change in minority interests after the company acquired the remaining shares in its Hacksaw Gaming Ltd subsidiary from minority shareholders. For further information, please refer to 'Minority change' in the section The share below.
No significant investments were made in intangible or tangible assets during the period.
The Parent Company's shares have been listed on Nasdaq Stockholm since 25 June 2025 and are included in the Large Cap index. The trading symbol for the shares is HACK. The closing share price on 30 September 2025 was SEK 68.5 per share, representing a total market capitalisation of SEK 19,798 million.
The company had a total of 9,936 shareholders (69) at the end of the period, and the total number of ordinary shares amounted to 289,195,987 (244,712,000).
On 13 May 2025, The Board of Directors decided to implement a share split whereby each existing share was divided into 2,000 new shares. The new shares were registered with SCRO on 20 May 2025. In connection with the share split, a bonus issue was carried out and increased the share capital by SEK 244,712. The bonus issue was implemented by transferring SEK 367,068 from unrestricted equity to share capital. No new shares were issued in connection with the bonus issue.

On 10 June 2025, the company acquired the outstanding shares in the Hacksaw Gaming Ltd subsidiary from minority shareholders. The company issued a promissory note as compensation for acquiring the remaining shares in Hacksaw Gaming Ltd, which was shortly thereafter offset against a new share issue. Following the acquisition, Hacksaw Gaming Ltd became a wholly owned subsidiary of Hacksaw AB. The subscription price for the share issue was approximately SEK 68 per share, and was determined by taking into account the value of the relationship between Hacksaw AB and Hacksaw Gaming Ltd. The transaction was based on a fair value assessment for the respective shares. Following the new share issue, the total number of ordinary shares amounted to 288,915,987.
From an accounting perspective, the share-swap qualifies as a transaction within the controlling influence, since Hacksaw AB already has a controlling influence in Hacksaw Gaming Ltd. The transaction is therefore recognised directly against equity and no new goodwill, or any other intangible assets, will be recognised as a result. For more information about the changes in equity, please refer to the Condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity on page 10.
Following the listing on Nasdaq Stockholm on 25 June 2025, an acceleration clause was triggered that allowed holders of warrant series 2023/2026 to exercise their warrants earlier.

A total of 280,000 newly issued shares in the company were subscribed for within the framework of the program, raising EUR 0.3 million for Hacksaw. Following the new share issue, the total number of ordinary shares amounted to 289,195,987.
On 25 March 2025, the annual general meeting of shareholders resolved to implement two incentive programmes by issuing warrants under series 2025/2028:1 and 2025/2028:2 to selected employees, key individuals, and senior executives. A total of 902,000 subscription warrants were issued under the programmes and valued according to the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Hacksaw's operations are exposed to certain risks that could have a varying impact on its earnings or financial position.

This interim report has been prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable rules in the Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9, Interim Report, of the Annual Accounts Act. The accounting principles applied for the Group and the Parent Company are consistent with the accounting principles used in the preparation of the most recent annual report.
Amounts are expressed in thousands of Euro (EUR) unless otherwise indicated. Amounts or figures in parentheses indicate comparative figures for the corresponding period of last year.
No changed or new standards or interpretation that have come into force have affected the Group's financial reports.
New and amended standards not yet applied by the Group
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 and has not yet been adopted by the EU. IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and introduce new requirements aimed at achieving greater comparability in the reporting of results for similar entities and providing users with more relevant information and transparency. IFRS 18 introduces, among other things, new requirements for the structure of the income statement and disclosures about certain performance measures. Although IFRS 18 will not affect the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, its effects on presentation and disclosure are expected to be significant, particularly those related to the income statement and performance measures defined by management. Management is currently evaluating the precise consequences of applying the new standard to the consolidated financial statements.
All of the Group's financial assets and liabilities are carried at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statement. The Group has no financial instruments that are carried at fair value. There are thus no differences between the carrying amount and the fair value of the Group's financial instruments.
The following are considered to be related parties; the members of the company's Board of Directors, the Group's senior executives, as well as the close family members of those groups of people. The Parent Company is considered to have a related party relationship with its subsidiaries. It is the company's opinion that all transactions with related parties have been conducted on market terms.
During the first nine months in 2025, an employee in a senior position has performed services related to financial
consulting from the company CG Services LTD with a value of EUR 3.1 thousand and from the company Camilleri Galea LTD with a value of EUR 81.7 thousand. Group CFO Per Alnefelt has during the period performed services related to financial consulting from the company Solvijks Management AB with a value of EUR 243.0 thousand. The transactions have been conducted on market terms.
For the same period in 2024 the amounts were EUR 68.2 thousand from the company Camilleri Galea and EUR 2.4 thousand from the company CG Services.
Under the terms of the incentive programs, LTIP 2025/2028:1 and 2025/2028:2, adopted by the AGM on 25 March 2025, 902 000 warrants have been subscribed for by selected employees, key personnel and senior executives within Hacksaw during May 2025. Of these, three related parties in senior positions subscribed for a total of 60 000 warrants, and one Board member subscribed for 20 000 warrants.
During January 2025, two new warrant holder agreements were issued to newly appointed Group CEO Christoffer Källberg, under series 2025/2030:1 with 483 warrants and series 2025/2030:2 with 120 warrants.
All programs are issued on market terms.
Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are deemed to be reasonable in the present circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the actual results. The estimates and assumptions that involve a major risk of material adjustments in the reported values of assets and liabilities during the next financial year are outlined below.
Hacksaw's business, including intra-Group transactions, is conducted in accordance with the Group's interpretations of the applicable laws, tax treaties and other tax provisions in each country's jurisdictions. The Group uses external independent tax advisors to make judgements about the current tax situation, but there is still a risk of negative tax consequences if a tax authority in an individual country decides on a legislative amendment concerning the tax in question.
The determination of provisions for income tax requires significant judgements and estimates, as the final tax is uncertain for many transactions and estimates. The Group recognises tax amounts that are considered to be regular in consultation with external tax advisors. The amounts
recognised may differ from the actual outcome for both direct and indirect taxes. This is mainly due to the fact that the tax authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates may make more restrictive interpretations of the regulations than those made by the Group.
Items affecting comparability amounted to EUR 1,1 million (0,3) for the period, which mainly refers to advisory costs and initial public offering costs.

Following the subscription of shares through exercise of warrants under Hacksaw's warrant program for employees, the number of shares and votes increased to 289,195,987.
The company presents certain financial measures in the interim report that are not defined under IFRS. The company believes that these measures provide valuable supplemental information to investors and the company's management as they permit the evaluation of the company's financial performance and position. Since not all companies calculate financial measurements in the same way, they are not
comparable to those used by other companies. These financial measurements should therefore not be seen as a substitute for measures that are defined in accordance with IFRS. Below are the measurements not defined in accordance with IFRS, unless otherwise stated, and the reconciliation of those.

Interim report for the fourth quarter: February 17, 2026 Interim report for the first quarter: April 28, 2026 Annual General Meeting 2026: April 27, 2026 Interim report for the second quarter: July 21, 2026 Interim report for the third quarter: November 3, 2026

To the board of directors of Hacksaw AB (publ), corporate identity number 559133-3793
We have conducted a limited review of the condensed interim financial information (interim report) for Hacksaw AB (publ) as of September 30, 2025, and the nine-month period ending on that date. The board of directors and the managing director 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.
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.
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.
