Earnings Call Summary

Q4 2025
Earnings Call Date:Jan 29, 2026|
% Change Since:
|
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The call communicated strong operational momentum: notable product releases, expanding franchises, solid cash generation (SEK 513m operating cash flow) and a strengthened balance sheet with a proposed dividend. However, reported profitability was materially impacted by a large, one-off write-down and elevated amortizations tied to Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, and the business faced FX headwinds (USD down ~12%, EUR down ~5-6%) that reduced reported revenue benefits. On a cash and operational basis the company appears healthy and strategically focused, but headline earnings were negative for the quarter due to one-time accounting charges.
Company Guidance
Management guided that growth will come from a mix of live‑game content, sequels and new releases (notably Europa Universalis V, continued DLC cadence for Victoria 3 and Age of Wonders 4), with capital allocated primarily to development (cash invested in Q4 was SEK 145m, described as the new normal) and selective M&A while returning excess cash to shareholders (proposed dividend SEK 5; share buybacks not pursued on Nasdaq First North). They highlighted Q4 results of SEK 875m revenue (+23% y/y vs SEK 709m) and strong operating cash flow SEK 513m despite an EBIT loss of SEK 245m driven by major impairment items (management cited SEK 701m related to Vampire: Bloodlines 2 and also detailed amortization of SEK 510m and write‑downs of SEK 355m), profit after tax SEK 201m and margin -28% (vs 57% prior), equity/assets 79%, average employees 663 and ~6 million monthly active users (management targets a stable 7m before upgrading that metric). Management also warned of FX headwinds (USD ~-12% q/q, EUR ~-5–6%), said they do not hedge currency exposure, and emphasized prioritizing internal studios and live operations while keeping acquisitions and earn‑outs conservatively accounted.
Revenue Growth and Quarterly Ranking
Q4 revenue SEK 875 million vs SEK 709 million in Q4 2024, an increase of 23%. This was the company's second-best revenue quarter on record.
Very Strong Operating Cash Flow
Cash flow from operating activities of SEK 513 million in Q4, described as exceptionally strong and close to record levels.
Successful New Releases and DLCs
Major releases and DLC performance: Europa Universalis 5 (well received), Crusader Kings III 'All Under Heaven' (map expansion to Japan), Cities: Skylines II 'Bridges & Ports' (strong reviews and sales), Stellaris: Infernals, Age of Wonders: Thrones of Blood, Victoria 3 'Iberian Twilight', Surviving Mars relaunch (good retention). These releases materially contributed to revenue.
Expansion of Core IP and New Franchises
Victoria 3 and Age of Wonders 4 established as additional core franchises with growing player numbers and improved retention; both added to the list of top revenue contributors.
Strategic M&A and Bringing IP In-House
Acquisition of Haemimont Games and bringing Cities: Skylines in-house noted as strategic moves; Haemimont added ~55 employees and early positive community effects observed for Cities: Skylines.
Healthy Balance Sheet and Capital Return
Equity-to-asset ratio at 79% (down slightly from 82%); company proposed a dividend of SEK 5 per share, indicating excess cash being returned to shareholders.
Monthly Active Users and User Base
Monthly active users cited at ~6 million (management notes occasional spikes above this and preference to report only stable million-level milestones).
