gamigo AG continues its growth path in Q3 2019 and already significantly exceeds EBITDA for the full year 2018 in the first nine months of 2019
All figures in this release relate to unaudited consolidated gamigo group figures in accordance with IFRS Hamburg, 29 November 2019 – gamigo AG (“gamigo”, bond ISIN: SE0011614445), one of the leading publishers of online games in North America and Europe, continued to grow strongly in the first nine months of 2019 and increased its operating profit significantly over-proportionally. EBITDA and EBIT for the first nine months of 2019 were already well above the figures for the full year 2018. Revenues in the first nine months of 2019 rose by 34 percent to EUR 43.0 million compared with EUR 31.8 million in the same period of the previous year. EBITDA improved by 63 percent to EUR 12.3 million after EUR 7.9 million in the first nine months of 2018. The figure for the entire previous year was EUR 11.1 million. EBIT tripled to EUR 4.7 million after EUR 1.6 million in the same period of the previous year. The total EBIT of the previous year amounted to 2.6 million Euro. At EUR 9.4 million, the operating cash flow was 33 percent above the figure for the same period in the previous year (EUR 7.1 million). Cash and cash equivalents as of 30 September 2019 totaled EUR 20.9 million, compared with EUR 4.2 million at the end of 2018. In the third quarter of 2019, revenues increased by 41 percent to EUR 14.5 million, compared with EUR 10.2 million in the third quarter of the previous year. EBITDA improved by 72 percent to EUR 4.0 million after EUR 2.3 million in the previous year. Thus, growth in revenues and earnings continued in the third quarter. In addition to organic growth, the largely completed integration of the WildTangent and TrionWorlds acquisitions contributed to this very positive business development. The synergy effects generated by the integration have resulted in costs rising significantly less than revenues. The outlook for further business development remains positive and gamigo expects the strong and profitable growth to continue. The launch of ArcheAge: Unchained in mid-October will generate additional organic growth in the fourth quarter and further promising launches are in preparation for the following quarters. Remco Westermann, CEO of the gamigo Group: “Having successfully completed most of the integration of the last acquisitions in the first half of the year, which led to cost advantages and efficiency gains, the focus in the third quarter was mainly on organic growth. ArcheAge Unchained: was successfully launched in October and further promising game launches are in preparation for the coming quarters. With our liquid funds of around EUR 21 million, we have the financial resources to exploit the existing organic and inorganic growth opportunities. gamigo is thus ideally positioned for further strong growth.
