Q3 2025 Modern Times Group MTG AB  2  
 
 
President & CEO’s comments
Outstanding Q3 with 
exceptional organic 
growth  
I am very happy to deliver a 
strong Q3 with outstanding 
organic growth on the back of 
a very active, and successful, 
in-game event and content schedule, combined with 
strong performance from RAID: Shadow Legends. It is 
encouraging to see our organic growth coming from 
both recently launched new games and rapidly scaling 
games across our casual and midcore portfolios, as well 
as some of our largest established franchises.  
We have continued to expand our core games with key 
new features, while maintaining high volumes of live-ops 
combined with disciplined and scaled marketing. This 
was further supported by the very strong momentum we 
have been building in our original studios for the last five 
quarters. This enabled us to drive 15% organic year over 
year growth in Q3 and 10% for the first nine months of the 
year. We did this while maintaining our well-established 
focus on marketing discipline and cost control, enabling 
us to report operating margins of 23% in Q3 and 23% for 
the first nine months. 
Our organic growth continued to accelerate in Q3, which 
emphasizes the quality we have across our portfolio. On 
the casual side, PlaySimple delivered another quarter of 
double-digit growth. This was primarily driven by us 
finally being able to start fully scaling some of the new 
Word and adjacent Puzzle games that have previously 
been in early launch and finding more opportunities to 
scale our established word games, which supported our 
year over year growth. Thanks to this we have continued 
to increase our overall share of the extremely 
competitive causal games market, and I am very proud of 
the work our teams continue to deliver. 
Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus delivered another very 
strong quarter of double-digit growth. The game 
delivered record monthly revenue in September, thanks 
to a very successful three-year anniversary event 
combined with expanded content.  
F1 Clash had another stellar quarter, generating strong 
year over year growth on the back of the successful 
season reset in Q2, which expanded the game’s content 
and significantly improved player experience. This was 
further supported by easier comparative numbers for the 
game in Q3 last year. 
Heroes of History also continued to grow, driven by new 
in-game content including a highly successful one-year 
anniversary event and multiple in-game seasons.  
RAID: Shadow Legends delivered a very strong Q3 driven 
by successful live-ops and the launch of the Teenage 
Mutant Ninja Turtles IP tie-in. This latest IP partnership 
follows a number of very successful IP initiatives done 
over the last year, continuing to showcase the longevity 
and ongoing future potential of RAID. 
On a more general note, some of the ongoing changes to 
the digital competitive regulatory landscape in the US 
are providing our studios with opportunities to increase 
their focus on DTC revenues. This is an important part of 
our business and several of our games are today working 
on expanding the DTC offering to our players.  
Solid margins and optimized UA spend going 
into the end-of-year period 
We invested a total of SEK 1,112 million in user acquisition 
(UA) in Q3 and SEK 3,125 million in the first nine months 
of the year, corresponding to 37% of our total revenues 
for both periods. UA spend for our original studios was 
up by 37% year over year in Q3 in constant currencies, 
and up slightly from Q2 this year.  
We continued to maintain our proven UA discipline 
throughout Q3, focusing our marketing to areas where 
we saw the highest return. The year over year increase in 
organic UA spend was driven by a mix of investment in 
new fast scaling casual games, the racing mainstay F1 
Clash, which continued to perform very strongly and 
Heroes of History, which was launched in Q3 last year.  
Our continued marketing investments in Q4 are setting 
the foundation for a successful 2026. As I have written in 
prior quarters of 2025, given the typically higher 
marketing costs in the key year-end period and our 
strong pace of UA scaling in the first nine months of the

year, we will continue to invest in our games where we 
see opportunities in Q4. We will, however, do so in a 
disciplined, balanced manner to optimize our UA spend.   
We reported adjusted EBITDA of SEK 675 million in Q3 
and SEK 1,931 million for the first nine months of the year. 
Our operating margins levels of 23% in Q3 and 23% for 
the nine-month period once again primarily reflected our 
increased levels of organic UA spend.  
We reported unlevered cash conversion of 60% in Q3 
and 46% for the 12-month period ended 30 September 
2025. The lower cash conversion levels for the rolling 12-
month period mainly reflected recent higher M&A costs 
and withholding tax payments in both Q2 and Q1.  
Evolving our operating model 
On 9th of October we had the pleasure to host a Capital 
Markets Day in Stockholm. During the day, we talked 
about how we are transforming MTG to create a better, 
faster and more agile gaming leader, including moving to 
a new structure with two Gaming Districts from the 
beginning of 2026.  
The purpose of our upcoming District model is to ensure 
that we can enable our current, and any future, studios, 
to make, scale and run great games. We will do this by 
preserving the creative integrity and cultures of our 
studios, while offering them the centralized tools, tech 
and infrastructure needed to drive growth.  
On the 9th of October we also announced a 
transformation program for our Midcore portfolio. This is 
a crucial part of the upcoming implementation of our 
Midcore District from the start of 2026. The purpose of 
this transformation is to create strong, effective and 
efficient central services, marrying the best of the tools 
and tech we have across the old MTG and Plarium, and 
future-proofing our business. This transformation is also 
expected to result in efficiency related savings for the 
group in excess of USD 20 million on an annualized run-
rate basis by the end of 2026, coming from a 
combination of measures across headcount, technology, 
outsourcing, and facilities.  
Like everything we do, our transformation work is based 
on close and honest dialog across our organization. Our 
goal is to continue building a Gaming Village that 
respects and protects the unique cultures and talent we 
have in our studios, while providing them with the tools 
they need to succeed and grow. We need to make tough 
choices along the way, but our ambition is, as always, to 
come out stronger on the other side of these changes – 
for our people, our players and our shareholders.  
Evaluating structural opportunities for the 
Casual District 
Our Casual District will start as a party of one. Our 
ambition is to grow this part of our group over time so 
that we can leverage the impressive knowledge, 
technology and experience that we have in the 
PlaySimple team.  
We will accomplish this both through organic initiatives 
and accretive M&A. To potentially accelerate these 
ambitions, we announced that we are conducting an IPO 
preparedness study for PlaySimple.  The outcome of this 
study will help us evaluate our options in 2026, and we 
will come back in due course once the study is 
concluded. It’s important to note that we have no plans to 
move below a majority ownership position in PlaySimple.   
New medium-term goals  
We have a clear strategy in place to drive sustainable 
growth. The strength, longevity and predictability of our 
evergreen titles deliver sustainable cash flows. This fuels 
our pipeline of new games in development as and 
enables the rapid scaling of recently launched titles – our 
rising stars. This growth flywheel, combined with our 
transformation initiatives, positions us well to continue 
delivering profitable growth and strong cash flows, and 
to create value over the medium and long term.  
We expect MTG to deliver annual gross revenue growth 
of 3-7% and to increase group adjusted EBITDA margin 
to over 24% over the next medium-term period. We also 
expect to deliver unlevered steady state cash conversion 
of over 60% over the medium-term.  
I am proud to see how far we have come since we 
distributed our broadcasting assets in 2019. We have 
transformed MTG again and again, acquiring exceptional 
gaming studios and divesting ESL Gaming. Today, we are 
the largest listed mobile-first gaming group in Europe. 
We have some of the best people in the industry in our 
Gaming Village, and the right games, tech, tools and 
scale to continue evolving MTG over the years to come.

Group performance 
Net sales  
  
Net sales for the group grew by 15% organically year over year in Q3. Total net sales grew by 126% in constant currency, and 
by 108% in reported numbers year over year in Q3 to SEK 2,987 million. The organic increase of 15% was driven primarily by 
the scaling of our new casual games both in Word and Puzzle-adjacent genres, as well as scaling of Warhammer 40,000: 
Tacticus and Heroes of History and the continued success F1 Clash. The year over year growth in total net sales also 
reflected the consolidation of Plarium as well as strong performance of RAID: Shadow Legends in the quarter.  
We reported a negative -19% currency impact in Q3. This relates to the absolute impact from FX movements on our total 
business year over year, compared with our reported Q3 revenues in 2024. MTG’s revenues in Q3 this year include both our 
organic businesses and Plarium, and the effect is calculated relative to our reported revenues in Q3 2024, which exclude 
Plarium. The reported impact is therefore roughly double the underlying change in the US dollar currency rate year over 
year due to the relative scale of Plarium to MTG’s original business.  
Reported sales by franchise 
Plarium, which was consolidated from 1 February 2025, 
grew by low single digits year over year in Q3 on a 
comparable basis. The company’s overall performance 
in Q3 reflected high year over year single digit growth in 
RAID: Shadow Legends, which more than offset the 
decline in Plarium’s legacy games.  
RAID: Shadow Legends delivered a very strong Q3 driven 
by a well-received IP tie-in with Teenage Mutant Ninja 
Turtles (TMNT) and strong live-ops. The IP collaboration 
was a strong driver of engagement and further boosted 
the game’s visibility, which amplified the game’s 
marketing efficiency in Q3. RAID also held a Summer 
Celebration and two Fragment Summon events during 
the quarter.  
Word Games franchise revenues were up by 11% year 
over year in Q3 and 21% year over year in constant 
currencies. The scaling of new games within both Word 
and adjacent casual genres was the primary driver of the 
year over year growth in Q3.  
In addition, the team continued to roll-out new features 
across existing games to further drive engagement, 
including Word Search Explorer introducing social 
features, such as clubs and competitive group events, 
and Word Trip offering players increased personalization 
features.

PlaySimple also continued to evolve soft launched 
games including Tile Match, Jigsaw, Crossword Go, 
Word Tour, Cryptogram and Two Square.  
Strategy & Simulation franchise revenues were up 9% 
year over year in Q3 and 11% year over year in constant 
currencies. 
Forge of Empire held three events in Q3 which included 
the second half of the summer event and the Care For 
Tomorrow and Fall events. The Q3 events did not deliver 
in line with our expectations and game revenues were 
down year over year. 
Heroes of History maintained its growth momentum and 
celebrated its one-year birthday with a dedicated 
anniversary season, which began at the end of the Q3. 
The game’s high live-ops tempo included two additional 
seasons, and three further events to drive player 
engagement. The team also released the Gothic Era, 
expanding the game’s content and progression depth. 
InnoGames also began leveraging Plarium’s distribution 
technology in September, when Heroes of History was 
soft launched on Plarium Play.  
Warhammer 40,000 Tacticus delivered another quarter 
of strong double-digit growth, with record monthly 
revenue achieved in September, driven by the three-year 
anniversary event that introduced a new faction and a 
Legendary character, and the launch of Mythic rarity, 
deepening the progression system in the game. The two 
additional events held during the quarter also supported 
the game’s growth.  
PC and Mac versions of Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus 
are now live with full cross-over play. These recent 
direct-to-consumer initiatives support the game’s long-
term monetization potential and improve the profit mix 
through lower platform fees.  
Racing franchise revenues were up by 23% year over 
year in Q3 and by 30% in constant currencies. 
The strong momentum generated by F1 Clash during the 
season reset in Q2 continued during the summer and 
into the autumn. Hutch successfully harnessed the 
increased player interest around the launch of “F1 the 
movie”, which enabled increased marketing spend and 
drove DAU’s to the highest levels in three years outside a 
season reset. The team also started testing a new 
webstore, expanding direct-to-consumer 
monetization.Top Drives delivered strong revenue 
performance, boosted by the 4th of July and anniversary 
events. The team added new cars from MINI and BMW, 
introduced fresh gameplay mechanics, and launched a 
live social leaderboard to help players’ track their car 
collections.  
Matchcreek Motors expanded with new cars and over 
400 additional levels, further strengthening engagement. 
Tower Defense franchise revenues were down -28% 
year over year in Q3 and –18% in constant currencies. 
The weaker revenue dynamics primarily reflected the 
continued decline in the active player base of Bloons TD 
6. During the quarter, Ninja Kiwi released the milestone 
update 50 for Bloons TD 6, which introduced a new Hero, 
a map and additional gameplay features.    
Ninja Kiwi continues to work on the development of three 
new games. The action multiplayer title Fightland is 
currently expected to launch during Q4, with further new 
titles expected in Q1 and Q2 2026 respectively.

Total daily active users (DAU) grew 45% year over year, which mainly reflected new players added in the Word Games 
franchise and the consolidation of Plarium. DAU declined slightly quarter over quarter, reflecting lower player levels in the 
Word Games, Strategy & Simulation and Tower Defense franchises, partly offset by higher levels in Plarium and the Racing 
franchises. 
ARPDAU grew 3% sequentially, supported primarily by strong performance from Snowprint. ARPDAU was up 43% year over 
year in Q3, mainly reflecting the consolidation of Plarium and the successful season reset of F1 Clash, partly offset by the 
continued broader geographic expansion in key Word games titles with lower ARPDAU. 
The group’s top three largest games in Q3 were RAID: Shadow Legends, Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus and Forge of 
Empires. The three games accounted for 51% of the groups revenues in the third quarter, compared to 50% in the second 
quarter. Prior to the consolidation of Plarium, the top three largest titles in Q3 2024 accounted for 39% of the group’s 
revenue. Mobile represented 69% (77%) of total revenues in the third quarter, while direct to consumer revenues, including 
browser, accounted for 26% (19%). The year over year increase in direct-to-consumer revenues primarily reflects the full 
consolidation of Plarium. 
Total user acquisition (UA) costs accounted for 37% of group revenues in both Q3 and for the year to date, compared to 
38% in Q3 and 36% for the 9M period of 2024. UA spend for our original studios was up 37% year over year in constant 
currencies, driven by a mix of marketing investments in new games and scaling of games across casual and midcore. Total 
group UA spend was up 103% on a reported basis, and up 120% year over year in constant currencies in Q3, driven by the 
consolidation of Plarium.

Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA and EBIT 
 
We reported a 73% increase in adjusted EBITDA to SEK 675 (390) million in Q3, with an operating margin of 23%. The 
increase in adjusted EBITDA primarily reflected the flow-through of the increase in net sales, offset by the continued strong 
UA spend in the quarter. 
The group’s adjustments to reported EBITDA amounted to SEK 86 (27) million in the quarter. These were split between M&A 
transaction costs of SEK 48 (25) million and adjustments for non-recurring bonus structures of SEK 37 (2) million. The 
adjustments for M&A transaction costs mainly reflected performance-based revaluation of put/call options related to the 
acquisition of Snowprint. The adjustment for non-recurring bonus structures reflected higher costs for a multi-year 
employee share-options program in PlaySimple which was acquired by MTG in 2021. The program of PlaySimple has no net 
cash impact on MTG over its lifetime, even though the accounting expense is recognized during the reporting period by 
PlaySimple. 
Depreciation and amortization amounted to SEK 358 (149) million and included amortization of purchase price allocations 
(PPA) of SEK 308 (101) 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.  Depreciation and 
amortization amounted to SEK 49 (49) million when excluding PPA.  
Consolidated EBIT was SEK 232 (213) million in the quarter, which corresponded to an EBIT margin of 8% (15%). Operating 
costs before depreciation and amortization increased by 123% year over year to SEK 2,398 (1,075) million.

Net financials 
 
Total net financial items amounted to SEK -96 (50) million in the quarter, of which net interest amounted to SEK -82 (28) 
million and other financial items amounted to SEK -14 (22) million.  
Other financial items included discounting and exchange rate effects on the revaluation of earnout liabilities of SEK -9 (28) 
million. In addition, other financial items included a SEK 63 (30) million revaluation of the financial liability related to the class 
C shares held by the group as the final payment part of the agreement to acquire PlaySimple. MTG holds these C shares as 
an off-balance sheet item, and a future transfer of shares to PlaySimple would therefore not result in a cash impact. The 
revaluation of the financial liability related to the C shares was impacted by the decrease in the price of the MTG B share 
during the third quarter.  
Other financial items also comprise exchange rate differences in the quarter, which amounted to SEK 1 (-31) million. In 
addition, the revaluation of put/call options amounted to SEK -48 (-5) million and other revaluation effects amounted to SEK  
-18 (-1) million.   
Taxes 
The group’s tax amounted to SEK -97 (-89) million in the quarter. The increase primarily reflected the consolidation of 
Plarium, partially offset by lower tax in InnoGames, PlaySimple and Ninja Kiwi. 
Venture capital fund investments 
The MTG VC fund has invested a total of SEK 397 (USD 40) million in a total of 26 companies to date. VC investments 
complement MTG’s majority stake investment in InnoGames, Hutch, Ninja Kiwi, PlaySimple, Snowprint and Plarium.  
The portfolio assets range from start-up game developers across several game genres and game creation platforms in the 
US and Europe to pure esports-focused companies. VC investments related to esports remained in MTG after the 
divestment of ESL Gaming.

Financial review
Cash flow  
 
Cash flow from operations  
Total cash flow from operations amounted to SEK 382 (347) million in the quarter. The group’s paid tax amounted to SEK -
170 (-158) million in the quarter. The group reported changes in working capital of SEK 2 (84) million in the quarter, the year 
over year change is mainly due to timing differences and movements in accounts payable and accounts receivable in the 
comparative quarter.

Auditor’s report 
To the Board of directors in Modern Times Group MTG 
AB (publ), corporate identity number 556309-9158 
Introduction 
We have conducted a limited review of the condensed 
interim financial information (interim report) for Modern 
Times Group MTG AB (publ) (“the Parent Company”) and 
its subsidiaries (together “the Group”) as of September 
30, 2025, and the nine-month period ended on that date. 
The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for 
preparing and presenting this interim report in 
accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual 
Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a 
conclusion on this interim report based on our limited 
review.   
The focus and scope of the limited review 
We have conducted our limited review in accordance 
with the International Standard on Review Engagements 
ISRE 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information 
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A 
limited review consists of making inquiries, primarily of 
persons responsible for financial and accounting 
matters, performing analytical procedures, and other 
review procedures. A limited review has a different focus 
and a significantly smaller scope compared to the focus 
and scope of an audit conducted in accordance with ISA 
and generally accepted auditing standards. The review 
procedures taken in a limited review do not enable us to 
obtain the assurance that we would become aware of all 
significant matters that might have been identified in an 
audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a 
limited review does not have the assurance that a 
conclusion expressed based on an audit has.   
Conclusion 
Based on our limited review, nothing has come to our 
attention that causes us to believe that the interim report 
is not, in all material respects, prepared for the group in 
accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act 
and for the parent company in accordance with the 
Annual Accounts Act.

Financial instruments at fair value 
The carrying amounts are considered to be reasonable approximations of fair value for all financial assets and liabilities, 
except shares and participations in other companies and contingent considerations for which the valuation technique is 
described below. 
 
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.

Alternative performance measures 
The purpose of alternative performance measures (APMs) is to facilitate the analysis of business performance and industry 
trends that cannot be directly derived from financial statements. 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 divestments. The following table presents changes 
in organic sales growth as reconciled to the change in total reported net sales.

Acquisitions in 2025 
On November 11, 2024, Modern Times Group MTG AB (publ) ("MTG") signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in 
Plarium Global Ltd ("Plarium"), a leading international game developer with a strong portfolio of successful games, including 
the popular mobile role-playing game RAID: Shadow Legends. The acquisition strengthens MTG's position in the mid-core 
mobile games segment and adds further expertise in live ops, monetization and marketing. The acquisition was completed 
on February 12, 2025. The total purchase price amounts to USD 659 million, of which USD 20 million will be paid as a 
deferred payment in 2026, initially valued at USD 20 million. In addition, the agreement includes performance-based 
earnouts of up to USD 200 million, based on future revenues, initially valued at USD 32 million. The acquisition is financed 
through a combination of existing cash and cash equivalents and secured external financing comprising a term loan with a 
maturity of 3+1 years, as well as a revolving credit facility, totaling USD 460 million. 
Preliminary purchase price allocations for the year 
Refers to acquisitions completed during the first quarter of 2025.  
Goodwill arising from the acquisition is mainly attributed to Plarium's future revenue generating capacity, expertise in game 
development and synergies within MTG's existing operations. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be tax 
deductible. The amounts recognized for intangible assets, such as IP, direct-to-consumer platform and paying player 
relationships, have been measured at the discounted value of future cash flows. The amortization periods for the identified 
assets reflect the determinable useful lives. The impact of the business combination on the group's cash and cash 
equivalents amounted to SEK 5,988 million. Estimated transaction costs for the acquisition amounted to SEK 109 million.
