The closing of the transformative acquisition of Plarium significantly enhances our scale as a combined gaming group, nearly doubling our total revenues . The closing expands our portfolio with both high quality games, headlined by RAID: Shadow Legends, and effective commercial tools, including a best -in-class publishing platform. In addition, the consolidation expands our pipeline of new games for 2025 and 2026, which is a key element in our future growth journey. It also makes me very happy to report strong organic year over year growth of 6%, together with scaled up marketing in our original studios in Q1. This, combined with a healthy operating margin in the quarter, reflects the strength of our operating model and quality of our studios. We kicked off the integration work immediately after closing the Plarium transaction and are now evaluating how the combination of ours and Plarium’s tech and tools can help us accelerate our strategic execution and delivery. I am convinced that MTG and Plarium are set to be better together, and I am also excited about the prospects of what we can achieve over the medium and long term as a scaled gaming group. Good operational momentum in Q1 Our good operational momentum continued throughout Q1 and into April . This sets us up to continue scaling marketing in Q2, and to deliver profitable organic growth in 2025 and beyond. Our studios remain focused on delivering effective live-ops and engaging content in our established evergreen titles, combined with an ambitious agenda to launch and scale new games to expand our portfolio over time. Our organic revenue growth in the quarter was driven by the ongoing traction in our Word Games, continued strong growth in Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus and our new title Heroes of History, which has been resonating with players and scaling rapidly with encouraging KPIs. RAID: Shadow Legends, now our largest title, had an encouraging March with strong event performance. Total net sales were up 77% year over year in Q1 following the consolidation of Plarium . Our top line results in the quarter were negatively affected by currency headwinds from the weakening US dollar and we therefore reported 79% year on year sales growth in constant currencies. Front-loaded marketing investments driving growth We invested a total of SEK 960 million in user acquisition in Q1, corresponding to 38% of our revenues. UA spend was up 26% year over year for our original studios, as we continued to invest at healthy return levels after the seasonally strong Q4 last year. The biggest drivers of our year over year increase in UA were the geographical expansion of our word games, our new well-performing strategy and city building title Heroes of History and Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus. We are very happy with this performance and will continue to invest in growth while maintaining our disciplined approach to return on ad spend. We reported SEK 616 million of total adjusted EBITDA in Q1. This performance reflected the consolidation of Plarium and the increased user acquisition levels in three of our studios mentioned above. We therefore delivered an operating margin of 24% in the first quarter. We reported a cash conversion of 56% for the 12-month period ending on 31 March 2025, which was within our current long-term guided range of 50%-60% . The result mainly reflected negative working capital in the quarter , a non-cash change in deferred revenues at the time of the Plarium acquisition and higher tax payments. We are building a scaled, leading ecosystem for game makers Thanks to the Plarium acquisition, we are now the largest listed mobile gaming company in Europe and in the top-10 list of mobile developers in the West. Part of our vision and strategy as a gaming group is to build a synergetic common layer of shared proprietary tech and tools. The acquisition of Plarium enables us to accelerate this journey by adding strong proprietary technol ogies like GoGame, which is Plarium’s marketing tools and tech, and Plarium Play, a strong publishing platform, to our portfolio. We have already made good progress on evaluating areas of collaboration and the potential for acceleration and commercial synergies and increased efficiency that comes from our combined portfolio of tools and tech. Our firm belief is that we will be a better group together, and our ambition is to accelerate our overall commercial evolution and help our studios to work closer together. We also continue to explore future M&A. As we scale and evolve, we can offer new studios more opportunities, more support and more knowledge when they join MTG. I want MTG to be a place that game makers are proud to call home and a group that attracts new , exciting talents. At the same time, we have a firm M&A framework in place, and we will continue to be highly selective in any future deals. ===== SIDA 3 ===== Q1 2025 Modern Times Group MTG AB 3 Last, but not least, we continue to execute on the share buyback program that runs until the end of April this year. Our Board of Directors is also seeking a new share repurchase mandate from the 2025 AGM in May. Thank you for following our journey. We have a lot of exciting work ahead of us in 2025 and I look forward to continue updating you on our progress as we continue to transform MTG for the future. Maria Redin Group President & CEO, Modern Times Group MTG AB 2025 outlook MTG’s outlook for the full year 2025 is for organic sales (sales from MTG’s businesses prior to the acquisition of Plarium, in constant currencies) to be within the range of 3% to 7%. MTG intends to continue driving organic growth through continued scaled, but disciplined, marketing. The group therefore expects its full year, total reported adjusted EBITDA margin (including Plarium) to be within the range of 21% to 24%. The final margin will depend on the returns on, and levels of investment in, the marketing of new and established games, combined with the success of our geographical expansion. ===== SIDA 4 ===== Q1 2025 Modern Times Group MTG AB 4 Significant events February 12 – MTG announces that it has su ccessfully closed the transaction, signed on November 11, 2024, to acquire 100% of Plarium Global Ltd., the developer behind the #1 global RPG RAID: Shadow Legends .

February 25 – MTG announces that Nick Hopkins has been appointed as the group’s Chief Financial Officer.

Net sales for the group were up by 6% organically year over year and by 77% year over year in Q1 to SEK 2,557 million, with a -3% negative impact from currency effects. The organic increase was driven by Snowprint, PlaySimple, Ninja Kiwi and InnoGames, while the reported year over year increase reflected the consolidation of Plarium. Reported sales by franchise Word Games franchise revenues were up 7% year over year but decreased by -5% sequentially in constant currencies. The growth was primarily driven by the ongoing geographical expansion of key games beyond English-speaking markets, which has expanded the player base for the franchise, setting the stage for long- term organic growth. PlaySimple has continued to expand its established games with features designed to boost engagement and improve the player experience. The team updated the visuals in Word Tri p, launched a new puzzle format and live-ops in Daily Themed Crossword to support level progression and retention , added new puzzle types to enrich the gaming experience in Crossword Jam . To further strengthen engagement, the team launched a PvP event and refreshed content in Word Search while Word Roll received features for a more seamless player experience. The team also continued to actively evolve its casual games outside the Word Games franchise. Tile Match was expanded with new in-game events and content to drive engagement. The user experience was enhanced in Two Square: 2048 Numbers Merge with targeted improvements aimed at strengthening player retention. During the quarter, PlaySimple also soft-launched Word Search Solitaire and Crossword Go on iOS. These games are currently in a testing phase and have not yet been officially released. Strategy & Simulation franchise revenues were up 10% year over year but down sequentially by -13% in constant currencies. Forge of Empires hosted the Wildlife and the St Patrick’s events during the quarter which were well received by players. They also launched a third event at the end of March. Heroes of History continues to outperform previous new releases from InnoGames on a like -for-like basis. In Q1, the team expanded the game significantly with three in- game seasons featuring six new heroes, including Amelia Earhart and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Snowprint launched a downloadable PC desktop version of Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus, offering players greater flexibility and creating new monetization opportunities. The team also rolled out a web store loyalty program, adding an extra layer of rewards for players and encouraging gameplay outside of the mobile app stores . The legendary character Dante made a highly anticipated debut, drawing strong engagement from the community and further cementing the game’s appeal among core Warhammer fans. Plarium franchise games were consolidated from February 1 and contributed SEK 1,066 million of revenue in Q1. RAID: Shadow Legends, now our largest title following the acquisition of Plarium, celebrated its sixth anniversary in March with the Festival of Creation - a large-scale in-game event. The celebration included a special Fusion event and free in-game content designed to drive player engagement and reactivation. The milestone celebration delivered an all-time daily revenue record for the game, with March 2025 being the 4th all- time highest month ever in terms of revenues. During the quarter, the team expanded the game’s reach and launched it on an alternative app store called Aptoide.

Mech Arena hosted a St Patrick ’s Day celebration with green themed puzzles and events to keep players engaged. In March, they launched a new season – Dead Tropical Island – introducing the new Mech Leech, new weapons, a new map, and two new skins for each Mech. Plarium’s casual title, Merge Gardens, continued to grow its live operations. The team launched a Valentine’s Day event with themed puzzles, mission boards and special offers to boost engagement and in-game spending. In March, the game introduced Maze Quest, a new game mode in tournament style that was also featured on the Apple App Store, which resulted in increased visibility and installs. A new monetization system was also introduced, with the goal of increasing in-game purchases. Tower Defense franchise revenues was up 3% year over year and up 15% sequentially in constant currencies. In February Ninja Kiwi launched Rogue Legends, a major expansion for Bloons TD 6, which offers a new single- player mode with dynamic content . The expansion was well received by the Bloons community and has been a major driver behind the franchise’s revenue performance in the quarter . The team also added a new map and an advanced new tower to the game. Bloons Card Storm is still in soft launch and introduced several new features in thei r latest update, most notably the new Ranked mode – a competitive real -time multiplayer experience that has quickly became a player favorite. Ninja Kiwi continued development on two upcoming titles during the quarter. The team plans to release Fightland, a large-scale team battle arena based on a new IP, in early access next quarter. Work also progressed on Zombie Assault: Resurgence, the second instalment in the popular action shooter game. Racing franchise revenues were down by -12% both year over year and sequentially in constant currencies. The first quarter is typically slower for the franchise, as the annual F1 Clash season reset is launched in Q2, following the launch of the F1 racing season in March. The team has successfully continued to focus on driving the game’s performance in the off -season with key content, and revenues in F1 Clash were therefore up year over year. The team has also focused on the launch of Matchcreek Motors, taking the learnings from the match-3 game Forza Customs. As Hutch has reallocated their resources from Forza Customs to Matchcreek Motors, the push has led to a natural short-term year over year decline in revenues for the racing franchise. The new game targets a somewhat older and more casual audience. The team is monitoring early KPIs and will begin testing marketing performance at low levels in Q2.

The Strategy & Simulation franchise also reported increased DAU levels, driven by the strong performance of new title Heroes of History. DAU’s were up on an organic basis in Q1, both year over year and from Q4 2024. Average Revenue per Daily Active User (ARPDAU) grew sequentially by 7 %, driven by the consolidation of Plarium. Combined ARPDAU for our original studios declined somewhat sequentially from the fourth quarter , as PlaySimple ’s user base grew rapidly, which resulted in lower ARPDAU levels. The year over year growth was driven by the inclusion of Plarium, as well as increased ARPDAU levels in Hutch, Ninja Kiwi and InnoGames, offset by lower year over year ARPDAU levels in our PlaySimple, reflecting the growing user base in new territories. The group’s top three largest games in Q1 were RAID: Shadow Legends, Forge of Empires and Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus. Together, these games accounted for 49% of the group’s revenues in the first quarter, compared to 41% in the fourth quarter. Mobile represented 73% (75%) of total revenues in the first quarter, while direct to consumer revenues, including browser, accounted for 24% (20%).

UA spend for our original studios was up 26% year over year in constant currencies, driven by scaled marketing investments in the geographical expansion of word games, our new Strategy and Simulation franchise title Heroes of History and Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus. Total group UA spend was up 84% year over year in Q 1, following the consolidation of Plarium from 1 February 2025. We reported a 56% increase in adjusted EBITDA to SEK 616 (396) million in Q 1, with an operating margin of 24% in Q1, primarily driven by the consolidation of Plarium and increased marketing investments in several of our game franchises. The group’s adjustments to reported EBITDA amounted to SEK 21 (19) million in the quarter. This included an adjustment for non-recurring bonus structures of SEK 7 (14) million and an adjustment for M&A transaction costs of approximately SEK 14 (5) million. The group’s adjustments to reported EBITDA also included the performance-based revaluation of put/call options. Depreciation and amortization amounted to SEK 304 (141) million and included amortization of purchase price allocations (PPA) of SEK 245 (100) million. The increased amortization levels arise from allocated surplus values related to RAID: Shadow Legends as well as other identified intangible assets following the consolidation of Plarium. Excluding PPA, depreciation and amortization amounted to SEK 59 (41) million. Consolidated EBIT was SEK 290 (236) million in the quarter, which corresponded to an EBIT margin of 11% (16%).

Valuation techniques Shares and participations in other companies – acquisition cost is initially considered to be a representative estimate of fair value. Subsequently, values are remeasured at fair value and gains/losses recognized when there is subsequent financing through participation by a third-party investor, in which case the price per share in that financing is used, when there is a realized exit or when there are indications that cost is not representative of fair value and sufficient, more recent information is available to measure fair value. Listed holdings are valued at the current share price. Contingent consideration – expected future values are discounted to present value. The discount rate is risk-adjusted. The most critical parameters are estimated future revenue growth and future operating margin.

MTG uses the following APMs: ■ Adjusted EBITDA ■ Change in net sales from organic growth Reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is used to assess MTG’s underlying profitability. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for the effects of items affecting comparability, non-recurring bonus structures, acquisition -related transaction costs, revaluation of put/call options and impairment of capitalized internal work. Items affecting comparability refer to material items and events related to changes in the group’s structure or lines of business, which are relevant for understanding the group’s development on a like-for-like basis. During this year, the group changed its definition of adjusted EBITDA. The new definition of adjusted EBITDA also includes revaluation effects of put/call options. Reconciliation of sales growth Since the group generates the majority of its sales in currencies other than the reporting currency (i.e., SEK, Swedish krona) and currency rates have proven to be rather volatile, the group’s sales trends and performance are analyzed as changes in organic sales growth. This presents the increase or decrease in overall SEK net sales on a comparable basis, allowing for separate discussions of the impact of exchange rates, acquisitions, and divest ments. The following table presents changes in organic sales growth as reconciled to the change in total reported net sales.
