QUOTE FROM THE CEO

"Stillfront had a strong start to 2022. In the first quarter, we grew our net revenues by 27 percent to 1,678 MSEK and our adjusted EBIT by 16 percent to 502 MSEK, resulting in an adjusted EBIT margin of 30 percent. Our free cash flow for the last twelve months amounted to 1,113 MSEK, growing by 37 percent compared to the same 12-month period last year, despite record-high investments in game development during the same period. Looking ahead, Stillfront is in a good position to continue its growth trajectory during the rest of the year and onwards. We have a clear path to return to organic growth and we are focusing all our resources to continue to launch and scale new games and grow our existing portfolio under the coming year. We reiterate our guidance of mid-single digit organic growth for the full-year 2022."

Comments by the CEO

First, it is impossible to sum up the first quarter of 2022 without addressing the situation in Ukraine. I'm deeply saddened by the events that have unfolded over the past months and my thoughts are with the Ukrainian people. From a company perspective, our main priority has been to work closely with our small team at Game Labs to ensure the safety of our employees based in Ukraine. We are working closely together with the team and Stillfront will continue to do everything we can to assist those in need.

Stillfront has had a strong start to 2022. In the first quarter, we grew our net revenues by 27 percent to 1,678 MSEK and our adjusted EBIT by 16 percent to 502 MSEK, resulting in an adjusted EBIT margin of 30 percent. Our free cash flow for the last twelve months amounted to 1,113 MSEK, growing by 37 percent compared to the same 12 month period last year, despite record-high investments in game development during the same period.

Record-high investments in growth

We continued to invest heavily in growth in the first quarter and our investments in new games generated significant results, with four own-developed new games added to the active portfolio. In total, we included nine new games in the active portfolio during the first quarter, including the asset acquisition of Rise of Firstborn as well as four titles from 6waves, which was consolidated from February 1st. Our active portfolio now consists of 73 games across genres that are enjoyed by almost 69 million users every month. Our high investments in game development are expected to continue in 2022, with approx. 30 titles already in, or planned for, soft launch throughout the year.

User acquisition spend in Q1 amounted to 469 MSEK, representing 28 percent of our revenues, with return on ad spend being well within our 180-day payback target. Our ability to invest record-high amounts in user acquisition spend with consistent high returns shows that our games are scaling and that our Stillops platform works well and sets us up for continued growth during the rest of the year.

A key component in Stillfront's operating model is our marketing capabilities. Our ability to swiftly reallocate advertising spend to the top-performing titles across our broad portfolio creates an important competitive advantage as we can leverage our scale and reach to ensure that we maintain high investment levels without compromising on returns. In both Q4 and Q1, we have seen great example of this as we have been able to drive record spend with high ROI within our strategy games, while allocating less to other titles in the portfolio.

Organic development in Q1 in line with expectations

Organic bookings totalled approximately -6 percent in Q1, roughly in line with our development in Q4'21. Super Free was included as organic from February 1, which, as expected, had a significant negative effect on organic yearover-year growth in the quarter. As previously communicated, Super Free had a strong start in 2021, but then saw its bookings decline significantly as the studio

was unable to deploy marketing at sufficient scale. As a result, Super Free grew its bookings less than expected in 2021 but delivered strong EBITDA growth. Super Free is now back on a growth trajectory, growing bookings sequentially in Q1'22 from Q4'21 and we are happy with the progress the studio has made during the past months.

Good performance by acquired studios

Following the acquisition of 6waves, which was consolidated from February 1, we carried out a preferential rights issue during the quarter which raised proceeds of approximately SEK 2.0 billion. The net proceeds from the issue were used to repay the temporary increase in debt and strengthen the balance sheet following the acquisition. Despite difficult market conditions and high volatility, the rights issue was oversubscribed by 80 percent. We are pleased with the strong support shown from our shareholders, but we have also taken several learnings from this process. With the transaction behind us, we now have a solid balance sheet to deliver on our strategic plans and growth opportunities.

Our recently acquired studios continued to do well in the quarter. Both Jawaker and Moonfrog's titles continued their momentum from last year and showed strong growth in Q1, with Moonfrog included as organic from March 1. 6waves has showed stable performance during its first two months as part of Stillfront Group, delivering in line with our expectations, and the studio has a strong pipeline for the later part of 2022. Despite the short time the studio has been part of the group, 6waves is already involved in discussions with several other studios in Stillfront about potential game collaborations and we are very excited about the opportunities the studio will bring Stillfront in the coming years.

Important step in our sustainability efforts

Our mission to make a positive impact in people's everyday lives through games. We recently released our Sustainability report for 2021 where we, among other things, highlight how we have intensified our focus on sustainability by introducing long-term targets for all three pillars in our sustainability framework. Target setting is important to drive progress, and our work continues in 2022 to make sure we reach them.

Clear path to continued collaboration and growth

In late March, we arranged our first physical Stillcon (our internal conference for studio teams) in almost 2.5 years. During two hectic days at Dorado' offices in Malta, key people from almost all our studios met to discuss potential collaborations and share best practice on how we together can achieve further growth and scale as parts of Stillfront. As a business builder and entrepreneur, it is inspiring to see the amazing pool of talent that we have been able to bring together during the past 11 years and I cannot wait to see what this group can achieve in the years to come.

Looking ahead, Stillfront is in a good position to continue its growth trajectory during the rest of the year and onwards. We have a clear path to return to organic growth and we are focusing all our resources to continue to launch and scale new games and grow our existing portfolio under the coming year. We reiterate our guidance of mid-single digit organic growth for the full-year 2022.

Portfolio overview

Game performance

Bookings in the first quarter amounted to 1,677 MSEK, of which 1,597 in the active portfolio. The increase of 27 percent year-over-year in the active portfolio was driven by the addition of games from recently acquired studios as well as strong organic growth contributions from several existing games.

Bookings from other games amounted to 80 MSEK in the first quarter, up from 51 MSEK in the same quarter last year. The increase is mostly attributed to new game releases that have not yet been added to the active portfolio, as well as long-tail games from newly acquired studios.

Advertising bookings accounted for 17 percent of total bookings in the active portfolio in the first quarter, slightly down from the 19 percent in Q4'21 and up from 15 percent the same period last year. Excluding the recent addition of of 6waves' games, which are largely monetized through ingame purchases, advertising bookings was flat quarterover-quarter, and declined by -2 percent organically compared to the same period last year, driven by a decline in Casual & Mash-up.

Mobile share of bookings increased to 78 percent in the first quarter, up from 75 percent in Q4'21 and from 77 percent in the same period last year. The slight increase was driven by the addition of 6waves' games in the quarter. ARPDAU for the active portfolio increased by 14 percent quarter-over-quarter to 1.4 SEK, driven mainly by the addition of 6waves' titles in quarter. Compared to the same period last year, ARPDAU was down from 1.9 SEK. The year-over-year decrease in ARPDAU is primarily an effect of the changed game mix in the portfolio and the addition of Moonfrog Labs' titles for the full quarter, as the studio has a large user base with lower monetization.

User acquisition costs, UAC, in the active portfolio amounted to 465 MSEK in the first quarter, up from 376 MSEK in Q4'21 and from 359 MSEK the same period last year. The increase in UAC compared quarter-over-quarter is a result of normal seasonality effects paired with betterperforming marketing campaigns.

MAU, monthly active users, grew by 74 percent compared to the same period last year, driven by the new studios acquired over the past 12 months. Organically, MAUs grew by 7 percent quarter-over-quarter and 2 percent year-overyear, driven by increased marketing spending.

MPU, monthly paying users, grew by 29 percent year-overyear, also driven by new acquisitions. The discrepancy between the increase in MAU and MPU is mainly a result of the acquisitions of Super Free Games and Moonfrog Labs, as the two studios monetize their user bases through ad bookings to a larger extent than other studios in the group.

Strategy

The strategy portfolio consists of classic war and so called 4X strategy games. In the first quarter, the strategy portfolio consisted of 21 games, up from 14 games in Q4'21. The new titles include four games from 6waves (Shishinogotoku, 3K SLG, Tenchinogotoku and AOTK JP), The Rise of Firstborn and two additional titles.

The strategy games amounted to 33 percent of the bookings in the active portfolio in the first quarter of 2022. Strategy bookings increased by 50 percent year-over-year, driven by the addition of the games from 6waves as well as strong organic growth. Organically, bookings from the strategy portfolio increased by 19 percent quarterover-quarter to 527 MSEK. The strategy titles built on Bytro Lab's grand strategy game engine, Supremacy 1914, Call of War and Conflict of Nations: WW3, continued their strong performance from 2021 into the new year, with Supremacy 1914 growing its bookings by more than 150 percent compared to the same period last year. Al General, a MENA version of Conflict of Nations: WW3, was successfully launched during the first quarter as a collaboration project between Stillfront's three studios Bytro Labs, Dorado Games and Babil Games.

User acquisition spend continued to increase in Strategy in the first quarter, primarily driven by the strong traction in Supremacy 1914 and Conflict of Nations: WW3. User acquisition spend in Strategy amounted to 166 MSEK, an increase of 119 percent compared to the same period last year and 76 percent compared to last quarter. As a result, daily and monthly active users were up year-over-year by 53 percent and 89 percent respectively. ARPDAU decreased by -2 percent in the quarter compared to the same period last year, where the increased inflow of new users lowered the average revenue per user, while the addition of 6waves' titles had the opposite effect.

Simulation, RPG & Action

Simulation, RPG & Action is a diversified portfolio of 29 game titles including simulation games such as Big Farm: Mobile Harvest and Hollywood Story, action games such as Battle Pirates, and RPGs such as Albion Online and Shakes & Fidget.

Simulation, RPG & Action totalled 24 percent of the bookings in the active portfolio in the first quarter, decreasing by -3 percent compared to last quarter and by -7 percent compared to the same period last year. The slight decline in the product area is a result of our strict user acquisition spend allocation, where more UA spend has been deployed within the Strategy portfolio in the first quarter as these titles have been able to show higher returns on ad spend. User acquisition spend in Simulation, RPG & Action was down by -18 percent quarter-over-quarter and -12 percent yearover-year. In March, Albion Online won the award for Best Mobile Game at the German Computer Game Awards, highlighting the impressive cross-platform product that the team at Sandbox has built and its popularity among players.

Casual & Mash-up

The Casual and Mash-up portfolio consists of 23 games, including titles like Property Brothers Home Design, BitLife, Word Collect, Trivia Star and Ludo Club. The product area totalled 43 percent of the bookings in the active portfolio in the first quarter, growing by 38 percent compared to the same period last year, driven primarily by the addition of games from recently acquired studios. The Casual & Mash-up portfolio grew by 7 percent quarter-over-quarter through a combination of FX effects and organic growth in the games.

As previously communicated, Super Free had a strong start in 2021, but then saw its bookings growth decline as the studio was unable to deploy marketing at sufficient scale. As a result, Super Free grew bookings less than expected in 2021 but delivered strong EBITDA growth. Super Free's strong start in 2021 had a negative impact on organic growth during the first quarter this year. Super Free is back on a growth trajectory since late October, growing bookings sequentially from Q4'21.

Jawaker and Moonfrog, both continued their strong performance during the first quarter of 2022. Moonfrog was included as organic in Stillfront's reporting from March 1, 2022.

Net revenue in the first quarter amounted to 1,678 (1,319) MSEK. The increase of 27 percent is driven by acquired studios (+27.3 percent year-on-year) and currency movements (+6.7 percent year-on-year), offset by negative organic growth (-6.8 percent year-on-year).

Stillfront experienced a positive impact from currency movements on net revenues in the first quarter, mainly driven by the strong USD compared to the SEK year-overyear. With the acquisition of 6waves, Stillfront's total currency profile changes somewhat as the studio generates a majority of its revenues in JPY. Currency rates in the quarter are outlined in the currency table on page 18 in this report.

Stillfront had a gross margin of 78 percent in the quarter, compared to 76 percent in the same quarter last year. 6waves will be included for the full second quarter 2022, which is, as communicated in connection with the acquisition, expected to have a slightly negative impact on Stillfront's gross margins as the studio has higher platform fees than other studios in the group offset by a lower cost base for user acquisition.

Stillfront's personnel expenses as a percentage of net revenue amounted to 17 percent in the first quarter, compared to 15 percent in the same quarter last year and 17 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021.

EBITDA amounted to 597 (463) MSEK in the first quarter. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to 616 (498) MSEK, corresponding to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 37 (38) percent in the quarter.

EBIT amounted to 272 (253) MSEK in the first quarter. Adjusted EBIT amounted to 502 (432) MSEK, corresponding to an adjusted EBIT margin of 30 (33) percent. Items affecting comparability amounted to -19 (-35) MSEK in the quarter and consisted mainly of transaction costs for the acquisition of 6waves.

Amortization of product development of -98 (-53) MSEK was charged during the first quarter. Amortization of PPA items amounted to -211 (-144) MSEK, where the increase is driven by recent acquisitions.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE QUARTER

Stillfront acquires 6waves

January 19, Stillfront announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire 100 percent of the shares in 6waves. The upfront purchase price amounted to USD 201 million on a cash and debt free basis, of which approximately 8 percent was paid in 2,913,857 newly issued shares in Stillfront through a directed share issue to the sellers, and the remaining approx. 92 percent was paid in cash to the sellers. With the acquisition, Stillfront intends to establish a strong foothold in East Asia and significantly strengthen Stillfront's presence in the attractive Japanese gaming market. The closing of the transaction was announced on February 1, 2022, and 6waves was consolidated into Stillfront's consolidated financial reporting from that same date.

Stillfront releases trading update for Q4 2021

January 19, Stillfront announced an update regarding its business performance for the fourth quarter 2021. The purpose of the announcement was to provide the market and the shareholders with updated financial information in connection with Stillfront's acquisition of 6waves and the resolution on the rights issue of approximately SEK 2.0 billion, which was announced earlier the same day.

Stillfront holds an extraordinary general meeting and finalizes a rights issue of approximately SEK 2.0 billion

January 19, Stillfront announced that the board of directors had resolved on a rights issue with preferential rights for existing shareholders. The board of director's resolution was approved by an extraordinary general meeting on 23 February 2022. A maximum of 117,014,379 shares were offered in the rights issue at a subscription price of SEK 17.0 per share. The subscription period ended on 16 March 2022 and the rights issue was oversubscribed by 80.3 percent. The rights issue raised approximately SEK 2.0 billion for Stillfront before deduction of transaction costs. The net proceeds were used to repay the temporary increase in debt that the acquisition of 6waves entailed and to strengthen the balance sheet after the acquisition, and thereby increased Stillfront's financial flexibility in order to take advantage of future acquisition opportunities in line with Stillfront's growth strategy. As a result of the rights issue, Stillfront's total number of shares increased from 390,047,936 to 507,062,315 shares.

Marcus Jacobs proposed as new board member

February 18, Stillfront's nomination committee proposed that the Annual General Meeting 2022 elects Marcus Jacobs as a new board member, following Kai Wawrzinek having informed the Nomination Committee that he will not be available for re-election at the Annual General Meeting 2022. Marcus Jacobs brings extensive commercial and strategic experience from the gaming industry, in which he has been active for over 25 years. Marcus Jacobs has i.a. been part of the executive management of King for seven years, focusing on mobile games and F2P.

The acquisitions in 2021 of Super Free Games, Moonfrog Labs, Game Labs and Jawaker, and their preliminary purchase price allocations are described in the Annual Report 2021. The purchase price allocation for Super Free Games and Moonfrog Labs have been finalized.

On January 19, 2022, Stillfront announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire up to 100 percent of the shares and votes in Six Waves Inc., a leading publisher of mobile free-to-play strategy games in Japan, for a total upfront consideration of USD 201 million on a cash and debt free basis. The sellers of 6waves were the founders, employees, and investors. Of the upfront consideration, approx. 92 percent was payable in cash, and approx. 8 percent was payable in a total of 2,913,857 newly issued shares in Stillfront. 6waves was consolidated into Stillfront's consolidated financial reporting from February 1, 2022. The acquired company had tax liabilities of 101 MSEK referring to previous years, expected to be settled in 2022, which are fully reflected in the purchase price.

The preliminary purchase price allocation analyses of Game Labs, Jawaker and 6waves are provided above. The purchase price allocations are based on assumptions regarding fair values of intangible assets and earnouts among other things, which may be adjusted during the twelve-months period following the acquisition. Goodwill recognized in the acquisitions pertains to the value of the skills within the companies in terms of their capability to develop and publish new games and new versions of existing games. The preliminary purchase price allocation analysis of Moonfrog Labs has been finalized since the last published quarterly report.
