"G5 has seen stable performance of established trends across the board during the first quarter of 2023, in line with the sustainable "new normal" scenario we talked about at the end of last year," said Vlad Suglobov, CEO of G5 Entertainment. "Our New Generation games, led by Sherlock, combined with the fast growth from our G5 Store, continued to spur our performance. First quarter revenue increased 4% in SEK and slipped 7% in USD, which is in line with the overall market performance. G5's gross margin was 67.4%, compared with 66.7% a year earlier. This Gross Margin improvement happened partly due to the G5 Store direct-to-consumer revenue now making up 8% of net revenue, up from only 3.6% a year earlier. G5 Store revenue growth accelerated again to over 130% year-over-year (120% in Q4'22). Q1 cash flow before changes in operating capital was strong 40.3 MSEK, up 4% year-over-year and we ended the quarter with better cash position than last year. Despite the change of how we book new games expenses which happened in Q3'22, earnings per share 5.85 SEK were almost unchanged compared to last year. We are in a strong position and our games and direct-to-consumer business continue to gain traction, which we expect will deliver stability in our results for the rest of 2023, with an opportunity for additional positive development thanks to our new game pipeline."
