 Comment from Ji Ham, Acting CEO of EG7:

For the first quarter 2022, EG7 delivered strong financial results above expectations, representing a third consecutive quarter of excellent performance. The company produced Net Revenue of SEK 452.2 (303.6) million for Q1 2022, representing 49 percent growth over the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the period was SEK 112.6 (80.7) million, representing 25 percent margin.

Service segment produced exceptional performance with Net Revenue of SEK 196.6 (89.6) million for the period, corresponding to 119 percent growth over the comparable period last year. Fireshine and Petrol led the way in driving significant growth for Service segment. Game segment delivered Net Revenue of SEK 255.6 (214.0) million, representing 19 percent growth over the first quarter 2021. The successful closing of Magic: The Gathering Online (Magic Online) in January 2022 contributed to Game segment’s growth for the quarter.

In April, the group announced its plan to divest Innova and relocate Toadman Interactive’s Russia studio, after which the group will no longer have any exposure to the uncertainties and risks stemming from the Russia / CIS region. Excluding Innova, the group leveraged its diversified and balanced asset portfolio to deliver a healthy 25 percent organic growth for the quarter.

Consistent with our expectations, Net Revenue for April came in at SEK 147 million, which reflects seasonal trends for the company during this period. For the full year 2022, we are now expecting Net Revenue in the range of SEK 1.6-1.7 billion with sustained margins, factoring in Innova divestiture.
