CEO Letter
Dear Shareholders, I am pleased to announce that we have continued to reduce costs within the group, while the work to complete the Oceanview transaction is progressing according to plan. The efforts to secure financing are ongoing, and although the market was quieter over the summer, activity in the capital markets has picked up again, bringing us closer to our intermediate goal of fully completing the transaction and integrating Oceanview into Rightbridge's operations.
Today, we present a proforma illustrating how the quarter would have looked with Oceanview in our portfolio. Q2 ended strongly with a revenue of over 18 million SEK, corresponding to 50% of the total revenue for 2023! On a half-year basis, the group would have achieved a revenue of 30 million SEK, which represents an increase of 10 million SEK from the previous period.
Rightbridge will continue its strategic work to build synergies between game development, manage IPs, and is already actively working to integrate the existing IPs that Rightbridge holds with the companies included in the Oceanview portfolio. We see great opportunities ahead in these areas and have several exciting projects in our pipeline together.
