“Stillfront outperformed a soft market in the last quarter of 2022. Net revenue grew by 24 percent year-over-year to 1,781 MSEK, driven by acquired studios, a positive FX effect and stable performance from our organic studios, with an organic decline of -0.7 percent in the quarter. Adjusted EBIT amounted to 485 MSEK and adjusted EBITDA to 672 MSEK, resulting in adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBITDA margins of 27 and 38 percent respectively. Stillfront continued to generate strong cash flow in 2022. Cash flow from operations before changes in net working capital grew by 29 percent in 2022 to 2,082 MSEK, while free cash flow grew to 974 MSEK, despite increasing our investments in product development by 375 MSEK during the same period. Following several years of strong growth, the global mobile games market declined by approximately -8 percent in 2022. Stillfront saw an organic decline of -1.4 percent for the full-year, significantly better than the market, thanks to strong performance from a number of our key game franchises, contribution from new game launches, and successful in-game events during the year.”
