Comment from Ji Ham, CEO of EG7:
For the fourth quarter 2024, the group delivered Net Revenue of SEK 512.9 (473.1) million, representing an 8.4 percent growth year-over-year. EBITDA came in at SEK 275.0 (99.4) million with Adjusted EBITDA of SEK 128.7 (98.2) million, representing a 25.1 percent margin. Operating Cash Flow for the period was solid, coming in at SEK 195.9 (100.7) million.
For the full year 2024, EG7 reported Net Revenue of SEK 1.7 (2.0) billion and Adjusted EBITDA of SEK 325.5 (542.0). The unfavorable year-over-year comparison against 2023 is largely attributable to My Singing Monsters normalizing at a lower level compared to its record performance in 2023. In addition, as previously communicated, 2024 represented a year of transition where the group focused on investing in new projects for medium to longer-term growth. Some of the investments, including Palia and Cold Iron's new title, are expected to come to market and contribute to the group in 2025.
Overall, we are starting out 2025 with more optimism than 2024 and aiming to deliver a solid year of performance.
