Flat organic growth with strong key franchise performance

The first quarter of 2026 marked a stable start to the year for Stillfront. Net revenue amounted to SEK 1,333 million, corresponding to flat organic growth. Our focused franchise strategy is delivering tangible results, reflected in double-digit growth in key franchises and the successful scaling of new launches within our portfolio.

Strong performance in our key franchises

Our key franchises grew organically by 12 percent in the quarter, demonstrating the strength of the portfolio we are building around a select number of strategically important franchises. Our strategic focus remains on building scalable franchises supported by strong player communities.

During the quarter, we continued to build on the soft launch of Big Farm: Homestead in December, with the game moving into global launch in Q1 2026. This delivered strong growth and, together with the continued development of the broader BIG franchise, resulted in organic growth of 88 percent. This development illustrates Stillfront's ability not only to launch new titles successfully, but also to scale and monetize new games within established franchise ecosystems.

Jawaker's performance was affected by regional instability in the Middle East during the quarter, which weighed on player activity and overall development. Despite this, the franchise delivered organic growth of 1 percent in the quarter. At the same time, this softer development was partly offset by stronger performance in other key franchises such as Supremacy. Jawaker remains a strategically important franchise for Stillfront, supported by a strong market position and an engaged player community.

In contrast, other games declined organically by 21 percent. While this part of the portfolio

continued to weigh on topline development during the quarter, the pace of decline moderated sequentially. As we continue to focus investments on the franchises with the highest future potential, other games are expected to represent a gradually smaller share of the Group's revenues and earnings over time.

Increased UA deployment to capture growth opportunities

Given the strong momentum across several of our key franchises, particularly within BIG, we increased user acquisition spend during the quarter to capture attractive growth opportunities. This higher level of reinvestment, together with FX headwinds of approximately SEK 50 million, reduced Adjusted EBITDAC to SEK 311 (402) million and also affected free cash flow, which amounted to SEK 44 (194) million. Free cash flow was further influenced by timing effects, primarily related to tax payments and working capital movements. We will continue to invest with discipline in our key franchises when we see clear potential to generate value.

Strengthened financial platform

During the quarter, we successfully concluded a SEK 1 billion refinancing transaction, with settlement occurring in early April, that strengthens our financial platform. By issuing new senior unsecured bonds maturing in April 2030 and launching a tender offer for the outstanding 2023/2027 bonds, we are improving our debt

maturity profile. Importantly, this pushes bond maturities beyond the period of earn-out obligations. This creates a stronger financial foundation for continued disciplined execution and selective investment in our key franchises.

Increased clarity in our franchise-led model

This quarter marks the first report under Stillfront's new reporting structure, introduced to better reflect the Group's strategy and operational management. For our shareholders, this provides greater transparency around the key franchises that increasingly drive our performance and longterm value creation.

As we move through 2026, our focus remains on disciplined improvements, deepening player engagement and allocating capital toward the franchises with the highest long-term potential, while the strategic review continues. With a clearer operating structure, a stronger financial platform and continued momentum in key franchises, we are taking further steps toward our vision of forging gaming's next forever franchises – one community at a time.

Alexis Bonte,

President and Group CEO, Stillfront

Net revenue amounted to SEK 1,333 (1,545) million, corresponding to -0 (-12) percent organic growth. The positive organic development was driven by key franchises, offset by continued declines in other games.

Gross profit amounted to SEK 1,123 (1,251) million and gross margin amounted to 84 (81) percent, the improved margin was driven by a higher share of DTC bookings which represented 44 (36) percent of bookings.

UAC amounted to SEK -447 (-448) million, corresponding to 34 (29) percent of net revenue. The higher share compared with the previous year was primarily driven by increased investments in BIG.

Personnel costs amounted to SEK -240 (-266) million, the decrease was primarily driven by effects from the cost savings program that was concluded in Q3 2025.

Capitalization of product development decreased to SEK -114 (-132) million, primarily driven by reduced investments in other games. However, a greater proportion of total investments are being allocated to developing games within key franchises compared to Q1 2025.

Adjusted EBITDAC amounted to 311 (402) million, a decrease of 23 percent compared to last year, driven by increased UAC to capture growth opportunities as well as FX headwinds of approximately SEK 50 million. This resulted in an adjusted EBITDAC margin of 23 (26) percent.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -36 (-97) million, consisting of net interest expenses SEK -66 (- 76) million, non-cash interest charge on earnout provision SEK -9 (-14) million, currency exchange differences SEK 0 (-6) million and non-cash earnout revaluation of SEK 40 (-) million mainly driven by the performance in Jawaker.

Taxes for the quarter amounted to SEK -37 (-16) million, driven by a higher profit before tax.

Net revenue in the quarter amounted to SEK 1,333 (1,545) million, corresponding to -0 (-12) percent organic growth. This was driven by organic growth of 12 (-2) percent in key franchises, offset by continued declines in other games. While reported revenue declined year-on-year, the underlying development was stable, with the difference primarily explained by negative changes from currency movements of -9.9 percent and impact from divestments of -3.4 percent.

Jawaker

Jawaker reported net revenue of SEK 191 (221) million, corresponding to an organic growth of 1 (26) percent. Development in the quarter was, among other things, negatively affected by a more challenging environment in the Middle East, resulting in a deceleration in growth. Despite this, Jawaker retains a strong long-term market position supported by a dedicated player community.

Supremacy

Supremacy reported net revenue of SEK 247 (226) million, corresponding to an organic growth of 15 (- 10) percent. The development in the quarter was supported by LiveOps execution and favorable marketing conditions, including higher player engagement linked to geopolitical events. A key focus for the franchise is the planned global launch of Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000.

BitLife

BitLife reported net revenue of SEK 95 (136) million, corresponding to an organic decline of -19 (-16) percent. The decline compared with the corresponding period last year was primarily driven by a more disciplined user acquisition approach and strong comparison numbers. During the quarter, several product updates were implemented, including webshop enhancements for U.S. players, tutorial improvements and new player enhancements.

BIG

BIG reported net revenue of SEK 178 (100) million, corresponding to an organic growth of 88 (-2) percent. The strong development was driven by continued momentum in Sunshine Island and the successful scaling of Big Farm: Homestead following its global launch at the beginning of the quarter. The focus during the quarter was on scaling the current portfolio while continuing new game development.

Empire

Empire reported net revenue of SEK 97 (101) million, corresponding to an organic growth of 1 (-16) percent. Development in the quarter was supported by content updates and in-game events, which contributed to stabilizing the revenue trend compared with recent quarters. The franchise continued to generate strong profitability during the period, despite ongoing investments in new game development.

Albion

Albion reported net revenue of SEK 81 (89) million, corresponding to an organic decline of -4 (5) percent. The game continued to benefit from an established and engaged player base during the quarter. The main focus for the franchise was preparation for the launch on Xbox Series X and S on 21 April 2026, marking Albion's first step onto console and expanding the game's reach to a new platform.

Board

Board reported net revenue of SEK 68 (69) million, corresponding to an organic growth of 22 (9) percent. The franchise continued to develop well during the quarter, supported by ongoing product improvements and player engagement.

Other games

Other games reported net revenue of SEK 377 (603) million, corresponding to an organic decline of -21 (-24) percent. While the portfolio continued to weigh on topline development during the quarter, the pace of decline moderated sequentially. Other games continue to represent a gradually smaller share of the Group's revenues and earnings, as Stillfront is focusing investments on the key franchises with the highest future potential.

User acquisition costs

UAC during the quarter amounted to SEK -447 (-448) million, corresponding to 34 percent of net revenue. This was primarily driven by investments in BIG and Supremacy, including the continued scaling of Big Farm: Homestead and Sunshine Island as well as favorable scaling opportunities in Supremacy.

DTC platform

Players continued to migrate to Stillfronts payment solution, and 44 (36) percent of bookings are now going through a DTC platform, which is negative for net revenue but accretive to gross profit and gross margin. This is primarily driven by players actively being incentivized to move to Stillfront's DTC payment solutions. Sequentially, the DTC share decreased by 1 percentage point, due to product mix effects.

Portfolio KPIs

DAU amounted to 6.95 (7.83) million in the quarter and MAU amounted to 35.5 (41.3) million. The yearon-year decrease reflects a continued shift in user acquisition toward key franchises, with significantly reduced investment in other games.

ARPDAU amounted to SEK 2.09 (2.15), driven by FX headwinds.

Free cash flow 44 194 772 922

Cash flow from operations declined to SEK 167 (337) million. The decrease compared with the corresponding period last year was primarily driven by lower EBITDA, fluctuations in working capital, which contributed SEK -94 (-51) million and higher tax payments of SEK -93 (-53) million. These effects were partly offset by lower net financial items paid and received in cash of SEK -65 (-78) million.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK –118 (-150) million, mainly driven by lower capitalization of product development.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK –109 (-139) million, mainly driven by lower net debt repayments and positive other financing cash flows, partly offset by higher share buybacks. Shares were repurchased in the quarter totaling SEK -74 (-45) million.

Free cash flow amounted to SEK 44 (194) million, driven by reduced cash flow from operations due to lower EBITDA, negative working capital movements and higher tax payments. Free cash flow for the last twelve months amounted to SEK 772 (1107) million, and the cash conversion rate for the past twelve-month period amounted to 0.40 (0.51).

The adjusted leverage ratio incl. NTM cash earnout, pro forma, was 2.22x (1.93x) at the end of the quarter, above the leverage target of maximum 2.0x. The increase was driven by the decline in LTM Adjusted EBITDA.

where of other games, % -21.1 -24.1 -26.6
Total net revenue growth, % -13.7 -11.2 -15.3

Net revenue in the first quarter amounted to SEK 1,333 (1,545) million, which corresponds to an organic decline of -0.4 percent. Currency movements in net revenue in the quarter were driven by the stronger SEK against EUR and USD average rates year-over-year. Currency rates in the quarter are outlined in the currency table on page 16 in this report.

Note 2 Product development

Amortization of product development -122 -198 -683 -759
Amortization of PPA items -82 -162 -538 -617

In the first quarter, investments in product development amounted to SEK 114 (132) million. Stillfront's efforts to be more focused on how investments in product development are allocated across the group remain and the investments in the last 12 months amounted to 9 (9) percent of net revenue mainly driven by lower investments in other games. Capitalized development fluctuates between quarters and depends on the number of new launches.

Amortization of product development of SEK -122 (-198) million was recorded during the first quarter. Amortization of PPA items amounted to SEK -82 (-162) million.

Amortization of product development was lower in the quarter compared to the same quarter last year. This is driven both by lower total product development and exchange rate fluctuations. Amortization of PPA items declined in comparison to the corresponding period last year. This is driven by exchange rate changes and by assets becoming fully amortized.

The group's tax cost amounted to SEK -37 (-16) million for the first quarter.

Tax costs for the quarter are affected by non-deductible items, mainly earnout interest SEK -9 (-14) million and earnout revaluations 40 MSEK (-). An underlying tax rate, which better describes tax costs related to Stillfront's ongoing business, can be calculated excluding such special items.

Stillfront applies IAS 34.30 in the quarterly reports whereby the expected effective tax rate for the year is applied on profit before tax for each of the first three quarters, excluding transaction costs, earnout interest, earnout revaluations and goodwill impairment. Adjustment to the actual tax for the year takes place in the fourth quarter, where any deferrals are reversed. The underlying tax rate for the quarter, excluding earnout interest and withholding tax on dividends, is thereby 30 percent.

In the first quarter, 16,705,000 (7,510,000) shares were repurchased for a total of SEK 74 (45) million. Cash disbursements for share repurchases were SEK 74 (42) million in the first quarter.

Net debt as of the end of the first quarter amounted to SEK 3,884 (3,784) million. Net debt including cash earnouts for the next 12 months amounted to SEK 4,381 (4,379) million. Net debt including all earnout liabilities amounted to SEK 5,193 (5,656) million.

The adjusted interest coverage ratio, pro forma, was 6.18x (6.32x) at the end of the quarter.

The adjusted leverage ratio, pro forma, including cash earnouts for the next 12 months, was 2.22x (1.93x). Stillfront has a financial target for the adjusted leverage ratio pro forma, including cash earnouts for the next 12 months, not to exceed 2.0x. The adjusted leverage ratio, pro forma, excluding earnout liabilities was 1.96x (1.66x).

At the end of the quarter, Stillfront had total unutilized credit facilities of SEK 1,641 (1,390) million, of which SEK 1,441 (1,290) million were long-term credit facilities. Cash balances amounted to SEK 646 (934) million.

Stillfront's financial assets and liabilities are in general measured at amortized cost, which is also a good approximation of their fair value. Bond loans with a carrying value of SEK 2,836 (2,831) million, however, have a fair value of SEK 2,830 (2,876) million. Fx forwards and currency basis swaps with a net carrying amount of SEK 56 (-6) million are measured at fair value through other comprehensive

income. Contingent purchase considerations (earnout provisions) with a carrying amount of SEK 1,309 (1,871) million are measured at fair value through profit and loss.

Contingent purchase considerations (earnouts)

MSEK 2026 2027 Total
Cash 497 421 918
Equity 210 181 390
Total provisions for earnout 707 602 1,309

The amounts stated in the table above refer to provisions in the balance sheet, calculated as present values of nominal expected future payments, by year of expected settlement. As of the quarter-end, the group had liabilities of SEK 1,309 (1,871) million for earnout provisions, of which SEK 707 (796) million current and SEK 602 (1,075) million non-current. The book value of the amounts that will be settled during 2026 to 2027 comprises SEK 918 million expected to be paid out in cash and SEK 390 million expected to be settled in Stillfront shares. Stillfront may choose, and has chosen, to buy back from the company's own shares to settle earnout payments.

Earnout provisions at the end of the fourth quarter 2025 were SEK 1,294 million and increased to SEK 1,309 million at the end of the first quarter, driven by currency exchange differences of SEK 45 million and discounting interest of SEK 9 million which is partly offset by revaluations of SEK -40 million.
