Financial targets
The Board of Directors for Thunderful Group has decided to withdraw the financial targets that were originally developed and communicated in connection with the IPO of Thunderful Group in December 2020.
 
In June 2024, Thunderful Group completed the divestment of the Distribution operations to become a pure gaming company. As a consequence, the Board of Directors has concluded that Thunderful Group should withdraw its existing financial targets.
 
The Board of Directors believes that Thunderful Group should communicate new long-term financial targets. Such objectives will be carefully evaluated and communicated when deemed
appropriate.
