"In 2021 we celebrated the 20th anniversary since the formation of what was to become the G5 Entertainment group of companies. I am very happy to report that during the year the team continued to deliver on the strategy, resulting in record earnings, record earnings per share, and the best earnings margin in the group's history," said Vlad Suglobov, CEO of G5 Entertainment. "A few years ago, G5 doubled down on making its own games, a move that had a profound effect on how the group generated its revenue and ultimately its financial performance. Jewels of Rome and the subsequent Jewels family of games launched since 2019 represented 30% of the group's total revenue in Q4'21. The most recent success coming from our own studios is a game called Sherlock. It was released a year ago and already made up 13% of the group's Q4 revenue. The fast growth and high profitability of these internally developed titles have powered the change in the revenue mix between those games we own and those that are licensed and also helped expand margins. The trend was obvious in 2021 with G5's own games responsible for 67% of revenue in Q4 compared to 61% a year earlier, and our New Generation of games (those released since 2019) making up 52% of Q4 '21 revenue compared to 40% last year - a jump of 23% YoY in USD terms. Most importantly, the success of the Jewels game series and Sherlock prove that our internal game development studios are capable of consistently producing outstanding and highly profitable games."
