Comment from the CEO in summary
"We are finishing off a financial year that saw us reach record revenues of 328 MSEK while also being profitable on a yearly basis. Our financial goals are to grow faster than the industry average and to work towards an EBIT margin of at least 20%. This financial year was another step in that direction with a 14% revenue growth and a full year of profitability.
"During Q4 we generated an organic revenue growth of 29% on the back of high-performing User Acquisition (UA) combined with a favorable exchange rate to the USD compared to last year. The UA investment grew to 43 MSEK, reaching its highest level in several years.
"The growth games segment developed well; Wordzee beat even our own high expectations in Q4. It saw record quarterly revenues as well as entered top ten grossing word games in the U.S. for the first time. The coming year will likely be the best since launch given the start of Q1. We have a great team working on the game, and we continue to see UA at a high pace going into Q1.
"For QuizDuel, Q4 is a seasonally weak quarter but the game performed significantly better than the same quarter last year. We continue to have high ambitions regarding the future of QuizDuel and look forward to running an even higher event frequency during the coming year.
"We are happy with the returns we see from our UA investments in Q4 and will continue to double down on the opportunities we see in the market. The combination of continued product development wins for Wordzee and Tile Mansion with possibly weakening competition due to the current financial cool down appears to be a favorable combination for us. The window for growth based on UA seems more open for us than it has been in a very long time, and we are ready to take advantage of that," says Daniel Hasselberg, CEO at MAG Interactive.
