BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2025
Atari released over half a dozen titles, including Yars Rising and Breakout Beyond, modern reimaginings of two of its most iconic Atari 2600 games. The company also expanded distribution of the RollerCoaster Tycoon franchise, launching new console versions of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, and bringing RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic to Nintendo Switch, with additional platforms under consideration.
Atari has made meaningful developments into new distribution channels, including a partnership with Netflix. A dedicated version of RollerCoaster Tycoon Touch was adapted for Netflix Mobile Games, while Centipede: Recharged and Caverns of Mars: Recharged were released on Netflix’s new cloud gaming service, demonstrating Atari’s ability to extend legacy content into emerging ecosystems.
In April 2024, Atari relaunched the Infogrames publishing label, reaffirming its commitment to championing creativity and gameplay-first design in a new generation of titles. As part of this initiative, Infogrames acquired the Totally Reliable Delivery Service and Surgeon Simulator IPs as well as the publishing rights of Bread & Fred, with the intent to expand reach and grow the market for these key franchises.
Atari also continued to grow its portfolio of classic IP with the acquisition of the Intellivision brand and a large catalog of Intellivision games, strengthening its position as a leader in retro game innovation and preservation.
Atari’s recently acquired studios, Digital Eclipse and Nightdive Studios, played a central role in delivering high quality content. Digital Eclipse added a major new installment to the studio’s Gold Master series of playable documentaries with Tetris Forever, while also releasing Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, Volgarr the Viking II, two DLCs for Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind, cementing the studio's reputation for doing justice to celebrated IPs. Nightdive Studios extended its track record for high-quality remasters of first-person-shooter and horror games with the releases of PO'ed, Killing Time, and The Thing: Remastered.
In Hardware, Atari continued to expand its lineup of cartridge-based ecosystem with the release of the Atari 7800+ retro console and 10 new game cartridges. Licensing activity also contributed to the company’s momentum through new collaborations with recognized brands. Notably, Atari partnered with Blaze Entertainment to release a line of handheld consoles and worked with other partners to launch consumer collectibles, all available for direct purchase on atari.com.
BREAKDOWN OF REVENUES BY LINES OF BUSINESS
Revenue of €33.6M grew 63% Y/Y at current FX (or 61% Y/Y constant currency). The increase reflects the successful execution of Atari’s strategic roadmap, the strong performance of the games catalog, and the full-year contribution of Nightdive Studios and Digital Eclipse.
- Games revenue nearly doubled Y/Y (+91%) to €27.5M, driven by the strong results of new releases, sustained back catalog performance, and the development of new distribution channels, including partnerships with platforms such as Netflix. All four studios and labels contributed meaningfully throughout the year, including the newly formed Infogrames publishing label, supported by catalog expansion through select IP acquisitions, such as RollerCoaster Tycoon 3.
- Hardware revenue stood at €4.0M (-4%), impacted by restocking delays in the second half of the year. The launch of the Atari 7800+, a key new product offering, further expanded the Atari modern-retro hardware ecosystem, building on the successful release of the 2600+ console, which marked the return of cartridge-based gaming.
- Licensing revenue was stable at €2.1M (+3%), as Atari continues to build partnerships with highly recognized brands and additional sales opportunities for its licensed products through atari.com. In the course of the year, Atari launched the Limited Edition and Standard Edition Super Pocket with partner Blaze Entertainment and signed agreements with Basic Fun for home arcade cabinets, which launched in 2025.
Atari X, whose purpose is to develop licensing agreements with recognized partners in the web3 ecosystem, and which was previously reported as a separate line of business, has been reclassified in Licensing due to nominal activity during the year (vs. €0.1M in FY24) and the Group’s continued strategic focus on core video game operations.
CONSOLIDATED SUMMARY PROFIT & LOSS STATEMENT
Costs of Goods Sold increased from €5.8M to €8.9M, in relation with higher royalty expenses due to the integration of Nightdive Studios and Digital Eclipse, as well as costs related to work-for-hire projects, and costs of hardware units sold directly on atari.com. Gross Margin stands at €24.7M, or 73.6% of Revenue (vs 71.6% in previous year).
Current Operating Income (Loss) improved significantly, narrowing to -€0.8M, compared to -€7.0M in the prior year. Research and development expenses increased from €12.9M to €16.2M, reflecting Atari’s continued support to its growth strategy, including the effects of Nightdive Studios and Digital Eclipse integration, related game development amortization expenses as well as the strengthening of the publishing and development teams. Marketing and selling expenses increased from €1.2M to €1.8M as a reflection of sustained marketing effort to support new title launches. General and administrative expenses decreased to €7.4M from €7.8M in the prior year.
Operating Income (Loss) came to -€3.9M compared with -€12.9M in the prior year, impacted by impairment charges on select games, partially offset by exceptional income received in relation to an agreement with a third party.
Net Income (Loss) amounted to -€12.5M compared with -€10.0M in the prior year, reflecting the increase in the cost of debt and interest on loans, as well as a non-cash adjustment on estimated contingent liabilities.
FINANCIAL POSITION AND CASH FLOW
As of March 31 2025, Atari’s total assets stood at €77.2M. Non-current assets stood at €61.4M (vs. €58.4M in the prior year) given continued games development and asset purchases. Goodwill was €18.2M, unchanged Y/Y after the purchase price allocation completed as of September 30, 2024. Other intangible assets were €27.3M and mainly consist of capitalized research and development expenses reflecting continuous investments in the development of new games, as well as acquired IP and titles (e.g., Bread & Fred, Intellivision, Surgeon Simulator). Current assets grew to €15.8M from €10.0M, mainly with the increase in advances on royalties to be paid to certain IP holders for future projects.
Equity decreased to -€1.8M, reflecting the impact of the full-year loss and adjustments to the fair value of certain minority investments. Non-current liabilities rose to €56.9M, primarily due to contingent liabilities tied to prior acquisitions as well as the loans with IRATA LLC concluded during the period.
At the end of the period, total financial debt stood at €52.8M, up from €38.9M in the prior year. The debt is comprised of convertible bonds with a maturity in July 2026, as well as loans between Atari SA, and its subsidiaries, with IRATA LLC1 for a total amount of €22M.
Cash flow from operations was positive at €8.8M, reflecting improved operational efficiency. Net investing outflows of -€18.6M mainly reflect ongoing development and asset purchases aimed at further expanding the games catalog. Financing inflows totalled €9.3M, mainly consisting of loans concluded between Atari SA, and its subsidiaries, and its reference shareholder IRATA LLC2.
As stated above, Atari, SA intends to proceed with the repayment of approximately €14M loans granted by IRATA LLC by way of reserved capital increase to IRATA LLC, with the issuance of new shares with no discount on share price. For illustrative purposes, based on the closing share price as of July 8, 2025 of €0.1610, approx. 86 million new shares will be issued, resulting in IRATA holding around 40% of Atari’s capital and around 38% of the voting rights. On the date of conversion, the reference share price will be determined using a VWAP calculation pursuant to the authorization granted by the shareholders meeting held on September 24, 2024 (Resolution 12).
Additionally, in order to get the necessary financial flexibility to pursue its high growth journey, Atari is currently seeking to raise up to $8M3, in the form of a debt instrument, with certain private individuals.
OUTLOOK
For the fiscal-year ending March 31, 2026, Atari intends to continue to execute its retro-focused growth strategy across its three lines of business. In Games, the company plans to continue investing in a dynamic pipeline of new releases based on high-quality, recognizable, owned or licensed IP, and leverage the development capabilities of Digital Eclipse and Nightdive Studios. New Hardware projects will expand the Atari “Plus” platform while Licensing is expected to advance a strong pipeline of opportunities.
In this context, Atari intends to continue investing in IP and content, with a sustained development spend of around $20M. Atari anticipates continuing its high-growth trajectory for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 reaching revenue of approximately $60M. As in the previous year, activity is expected to be stronger in the second half of the year, driving Atari towards positive Current operating income and positive operating cash flow generation on a full year basis.
Atari will also continue to selectively consider potential acquisitions, minority investments in companies offering value-added solutions, and acquisitions of games that further complement the portfolio of intellectual property.
