Playside Studios Ltd ( (AU:PLY) ) just unveiled an update.
PlaySide Studios is restructuring its operations due to delays in securing anticipated Work for Hire contracts, leading to excess staff capacity. While the company remains optimistic about acquiring new contracts, the timing is uncertain. The restructuring will not affect the development of PlaySide’s major Original IP projects, such as ‘MOUSE: P.I. for Hire’ and the ‘Game of Thrones’ real-time strategy game. The company expects cost savings of $4-5 million per annum from proposed redundancies, with an upfront restructuring cost of approximately $1.5 million. PlaySide aims to optimize its cost base to ensure sustainable growth and high cash flow generation from its Original IP projects starting FY26. The FY25 guidance remains unchanged, with expected revenue of $50-54 million and an EBITDA loss of $6-10 million.
