“Stillfront’s net revenue declined by 7 percent year-over-year in the third quarter to 1,671 MSEK, while adjusted EBITDAC declined by 1 percent to 409 MSEK. Our adjusted EBITDAC margin amounted to 25 percent, up by 1.5 percentage points year-over-year, despite a lower revenue base. The development in the third quarter was impacted by a significant one-off event related to Sandbox Interactive’s hit franchise Albion Online, which negatively impacted net revenue and adjusted EBITDAC by approximately 80 MSEK and 50 MSEK respectively. We continue to generate strong cash flow across the group, and free cash flow for the last twelve months amounted to 941 MSEK. Going forward, we are seeing that the underlying market is normalizing compared to the past two years paired with more favorable performance marketing conditions. We expect a significant sequential organic growth improvement in the fourth quarter but given the impact from Albion Online and the lower run-rate towards the end of the third quarter, we now find it less likely than previously to return to organic growth before year-end.”
Jörgen Larsson, CEO, Stillfront Group
