Net revenues of Stillfront Group (excluding Altigi GmbH) the first quarter 2017 amounted to 30.0 MSEK, thus the first quarter of 2018 had a net revenue increase of 949% as compared to net revenues in the first quarter 2017.
• EBITDA adjusted for non-recurring and transaction related costs (refer to Note 5) amounted to 106.3 MSEK (98.9), which is an increase of 7.4%.
• EBIT adjusted for non-recurring and transaction related costs amounted to 75.0 MSEK (77.6).
• Operating result after financial items amounted to 67.7 MSEK (41.0). The net result for the period amounted to 45.8 MSEK (26.2).
• Net result per share before dilution for the interim period amounted to 2.00 SEK (1.56 SEK). Net result per share after dilution amounted to 1.99 SEK (1.56 SEK).
• Big Farm Mobile Harvest, Nida Harb III: Empire of Steel and War and Peace: Civil War were all fully launched in the fourth quarter 2017. They have performed very well during the interim period, with excellent growth in Nida Harb III.
• Empire: Millennium Wars went into global launch in the end of the interim period. Empire: Millennium Wars is a mobile strategy game based on the highly successful brand Goodgame Empire. Further Call of War for Android and iOS was launched in the interim period as was Conflict of Nations for Steam.
• The acquisition of Altigi GmbH was completed in January 2018, whereby 16,868,623 shares were issued and a bond issue of 390 MSEK was performed. From an accounting perspective the acquisition has been reported as a reverse acquisition, where Altigi GmbH is the accounting acquirer and Stillfront Group AB is the legal acquirer. This means that comparative periods up to December 31, 2017 refer to Altigi GmbH.

Events After the Interim Period

• On May 22, Stillfront initiated a process to amend the terms and conditions of the 2017/2020 bond. The objective of the amendment is to enable Stillfront to optimise its financing of working capital and of small to mid-size acquisitions.

A great Start of an Exciting year

"The first quarter of 2018 marks an important milestone for Stillfront Group. We completed the acquisition of Goodgame Studios and it is the first time we are reporting as a combined entity.

The consolidated Group has had a flying start with record breaking revenues and earnings. The existing products Goodgame Empire, Empire Four Kingdoms and Big Farm continue to deliver very solid growth, and our investments in the recent game launches, Big Farm Mobile Harvest, War and Peace and Nida Harb III, have resulted in a very strong positive contribution in the first quarter of 2018. We also see good progress towards realisation of identified synergies within the combined group.

We continue to develop new games with established brands and proven engines which provides us with a favourable risk/reward, and is a balanced and capital efficient way of expanding our portfolio. We have a healthy pipeline of upcoming launches as well as acquisition targets, and I am confident that we are on the right path towards becoming the leading group in our Niche," says Jörgen Larsson, CEO Stillfront Group.
