Comment by Ham JiActing CEO of EG7:

For the first quarter of 2022, EG7 posted strong financial results above expectations, which represents a third consecutive quarter of excellent performance. The company achieved net sales of SEK452.2 (303.6) million for the first quarter of 2022, which represents a growth of 49% compared to the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the period was SEK112.6 (80.7) million, i.e. a margin of 25%.

The services segment delivered an exceptional performance with net revenue of SEK196.6 (89.6) million for the period, corresponding to a growth of 119% compared to the comparable period last year. Fireshine and Petrol led the way in generating significant growth for the service segment. The gaming segment generated net revenue of SEK255.6 (214.0) million, representing a growth of 19% compared to the first quarter of 2021. The successful closing of Magic: The Gathering Online (Magic Online) in January 2022 contributed to the growth of the Games segment for the quarter.

In April, the group announced its intention to sell Innova and relocate Toadman Interactive Russia studio, after which the group will no longer be exposed to the uncertainties and risks associated with the Russia / CIS region. Excluding Innova, the group leveraged its diversified and balanced asset portfolio to achieve healthy organic growth of 25% for the quarter.

In line with our expectations, net sales for April amounted to 147 million Swedish crowns, which reflects the company’s seasonal trends during this period. For the full year 2022, we now expect net sales of around 1.6 to 1.7 billion Swedish crowns with sustained margins, given the sale of Innova.
