Rundt +6% tenker jeg.

Ja så tar nok litt tid før stibor delen påvirker renten ( får ingen effekt når den er under 0 ).

Q3 comments

Stillfront just released its full Q3 report. Remember that preliminary revenue and EBITDA was reported already 5 November, showing a beat on revenue and EBITDA, why this report will fill in the blanks. As we expected, Stillfront Core continue to perform very strong, with revenue coming in stronger than we expected due to new quarterly all time highsfor Nida Harb III (very high ARPU) and Call of War (platform extension) which once again highlight the power of thesuccessful platform extension to Steam and mobile for CoW to be used for other games within the group. Goodgame was weaker than expected, affected by seasonality, lower than expected UAC (SEK 45M vs PAS SEK 55M), transformation to HTML 5 (Completed for BIG but still ongoing for EMPIRE), focus on Millennium Wars launch activitiesand lower amount of update activities for the EMPIRE brand which also is reflected in a lower quarterly ARPU. Due to this report we only expect to make minor negative revisions to Q4 and 2019E estimates, likely less than 5% to EBITDA, with Stillfront Core likely to be raised and Goodgame lowered. Global gaming shares has traded weak over the last months setting pressure on valuation multiples Based on our current 2019E estimates Stillfront trades at an attractive EV/EBIT multiple of 8.3x to be compared with global peers at 11.3x. Conference call at 10 CET. Buy TP SEK 264 (under revision)

PRESS RELEASE
November 26, 2018

eRepublik Labs, part of Stillfront Group, soft launches eRepublik.com on mobile

On the 11th anniversary of the eRepublik.com franchise, eRepublik Labs is bringing its first game to mobile. eRepublik Mobile will be available in open beta on the Google Play early access program. The game is expected to be in soft launch for several months.

eRepublik.com was the first game that eRepublik Labs launched back in 2007. Over 10 million people played the game over its close to 11 years history. The game in its browser version has a very dedicated community with an MAU of 35000 players and has seen its revenues grow this year. eRepublik Mobile will work in synch with the browser version of the game meaning both existing and new players will be able to play cross platform now.

“eRepublik.com was the start of our adventure and was our largest game until it was overtaken by our mobile game releases such as War and Peace. It is now one of our 5 core Live games and although it is not the largest one, it has a very dedicated community and extremely unique gameplay. We are thrilled to be bringing it to mobile both for the existing community and for new players that want to try something completely unique and different on mobile”, says Alexis Bonte, co- founder and CEO of eRepublik Labs.

“eRepublik.com is a great example of our evergreen games strategy, we are happy to see this 11-year old game brought to mobile audiences. We have seen how successful that ‘platform extension’ strategy can be in our other studios such as Bytro or Goodgame”, says Jörgen Larsson, CEO of Stillfront.

PRESS RELEASE
November 27, 2018

Bytro Labs, part of Stillfront Group, releases a new version of Supremacy 1914

Online games developer Bytro Labs, best known for its grand strategy hit Call of War, has released a new version of their classic title Supremacy 1914. Today’s release marks the first of three milestones for the new version Supremacy 1914 - The Great War in 2019.

This first update features a completely reworked community area, a new map look and a new 3D rendering technology. In the next step Bytro Labs is further embracing its cross-platform strategy, which has already shown great success for Call of War.

Supremacy 1914 - The Great War is releasing for Android phones later this year and is followed in early 2019 by iOS devices and leading PC gaming platform Steam. The third and final stage will be reached in mid-2019 with a major content and feature update, which will finalize Supremacy 1914 - The Great War and make the brand ready for the future ensuring its continued success as a leading grand strategy WWI game. More than 4.5 million people have played Supremacy 1914 since launch.

“Supremacy 1914 has been a very recognizable and profitable brand of Bytro for nearly a decade. Over the coming months, the highly motivated team behind the product will be bringing out the most ambitious updates since the initial launch. This will add many more strong years to its track record and the team is hard at work to ensure Supremacy 1914 enters its second decade in better shape than ever”, says Christopher Lörken, co-founder and Managing Director, Bytro Labs.

“Much of the development has already been made on engine level, which enables us to release Supremacy 1914 on mobile with low additional investments. Earlier this year, Call of War was released for mobile on the same engine with very good results. Bytro Labs are doing a great job, contributing to the whole Group with expertise in platform extension”, says Jörgen Larsson, CEO, Stillfront Group.

PRESS RELEASE
December 10, 2018

Simutronics reclaims the publishing services for SIEGE: Titan Wars globally except China

Simutronics Corp, a studio within Stillfront Group AB, has ended a co-publishing agreement regarding the mobile game SIEGE: Titan Wars with New York based publishing partner Tilting Point.

According to a new agreement, Tilting Point will continue to provide publishing services and market the game in China but Simutronics will run the publishing services and marketing globally from the Group going forward.

Simutronics is a leading developer of online roleplaying and mobile games such as DragonRealms, GemStone IV and Lara Croft Relic Run, the latter with more than 23 million downloads. Tilting Point is a new-generation games partner that provides top development studios with expert resources, services, and operational support to optimize high quality live games for success.

“I am very pleased to continue the partnership with Tilting Point for the Chinese market as this represents a great opportunity for growth for this title,” comments Jörgen Larsson, CEO, Stillfront Group.

“Together with the team of Tilting Point we have created a very good start for SIEGE: Titan Wars. But as our marketing capabilities have grown since joining the Stillfront Group, it is now a very good time to move on and run the publishing and marketing of the game inhouse,” says David Whatley, CEO, Simutronics.

“It was a pleasure to work with Simutronics on SIEGE: Titan Wars for the past two years”, says Samir El Agili, President and Chief Product Officer at Tilting Point. “Our current focus is to continue building momentum and success for the game in the Chinese market where we see tremendous opportunity.”

Simutronics återtar förläggartjänster för SIEGE: Titan Wars globalt med undantag för Kina

Simutronics, en studio inom Stillfront Group, har avslutat ett medförläggaravtal avseende mobilspelet SIEGE: Titan Wars med den New York-baserade förläggarpartnern Tilting Point.

Enligt ett nytt avtal kommer Tilting Point fortsatt att tillhandahålla förläggartjänster och marknadsföring av spelet i Kina men på global nivå kommer Simutronics att ansvara för förläggartjänster och marknadsföring av spelet från gruppen.

Simutronics är en ledande utvecklare av rollspel och mobila spel som till exempel DragonRealms, GemStone IV och Lara Croft Relic Run, den sistnämnda med mer än 23 miljoner nedladdningar. Tilting Point är den nya generationens spelbolagspartner som förser ledande utvecklingsstudios med expertis, tjänster och operationell support för att optimera högkvalitativa livespel framgångsrikt.

“Jag är mycket nöjd över det fortsatta partnerskapet med Tilting Point för den kinesiska marknaden då den erbjuder goda möjligheter för tillväxt för denna speltitel”, kommenterar Jörgen Larsson, CEO, Stillfront Group.

“Tillsammans med teamet på Tilting Point har vi skapat en mycket bra start för SIEGE: Titan Wars. Vår kunskap inom marknadsföring har dock utvecklats sedan vi blev en del av Stillfront Group och därför tycker vi att det är en bra tidpunkt att gå vidare och flytta förläggartjänster och marknadsföring av spelet globalt inom gruppen”, säger David Whatley, VD, Simutronics.

“Det har varit ett nöje att arbeta med Simutronics SIEGE: Titan Wars de senaste två åren”, säger Samir El Agili, produktchef vid Tilting Point. “Vårt nuvarande fokus är att fortsätta bygga momentum och framgång för spelet i den kinesiska marknaden där vi ser enormt stora möjligheter.”

Er bare ca 3 måneder siden de sa at de ikke kom seg ut av avtalen så da måtte de kanskje bare ut med litt ekstra cash ? Blir uansett interessant å se om de kan gjøre en bedre jobb selv.

Stillfront Group förvärvar Playa Games GmbH

Stillfront Group AB (publ) (“Stillfront”) tillkännager idag förvärvet av 100% av aktierna i Playa Games GmbH (“Playa Games” eller “Bolaget”), en ledande utvecklare och förläggare av casual strategy games i Tyskland.

Playa Games är en av Tysklands ledande spelutvecklare och förläggare av casual strategy games med fem släppta spel och cirka 70 miljoner registrerade användare. Bolagets flaggskeppstitel är Shakes & Fidget, ett seriefigursliknande ‘massively multiplayer online role-playing game’ (MMORPG) strategispel som är tillgängligt både via browser och mobila plattformar. Playa Games är baserat i Hamburg, Tyskland.

Bolaget genererade en nettointäkt på cirka EUR 7.7 miljoner, med cirka 55% i rörelsemarginal för perioden januari-september 2018. Playa Games grundades 2009 av Jan Beuck och Martin Jässing, vilka direkt och indirekt äger samtliga aktier i Bolaget, och båda kommer att vara fortsatt verksamma i Bolagets högsta ledning framgent.

“Playa Games passar utomordentligt väl in i Stillfronts tillväxtstrategi genom att bredda vår portfölj av studios och spel med en karaktär som driver långa spelarrelationer. Playa Games portfölj och pipeline av spel passar perfekt in i vår spelportfölj och ökar möjligheter för synergier inom gruppen. Det är med glädje jag idag välkomnar Jan Beuck, Martin Jässing och hela teamet på Playa Games till Stillfrontfamiljen”, kommenterar Jörgen Larsson, VD, Stillfront.

“Att bli en del av Stillfront Group möjliggör för oss att fortsätta vår utveckling av nya produkter inom onlinestrategispel. Vi ser förvärvet som ett strategiskt nästa steg för Playa Games, och vi ser fram emot att dela marknadskunskap och skapa synergier med övriga studios i Stillfrontkoncernen”, kommenterar Jan Beuck, VD, Playa Games.

TRANSAKTIONEN

Transaktionen innebär att 100% av aktierna i Playa Games förvärvas. Förvärvet beräknas fullbordas i mitten av december 2018.

Bolaget kommer att konsolideras i Stillfronts finansiella rapportering från den 1 december 2018.

Vid tillträdet till Bolaget kommer EUR 20 000 000 att utbetalas till säljarna, varav cirka EUR 14 000 000 betalas kontant och resterande cirka EUR 6 000 000 med 425 913 nyemitterade aktier i Stillfront där teckningskursen motsvarar genomsnittligt volymvägt pris per aktie i Stillfront på Nasdaq First North under de 30 dagar som föregår dagens datum. Detta motsvarar en utspädning om 1,77% på fullt utspädd basis (dvs. baserat på totalt antal aktier och röster utestående efter nyemissionen). Den del av köpeskillingen som ska betalas vid tillträdet är föremål för justering baserad på Bolagets kontanter, finansiella skulder och skillnaden mellan normaliserat och faktiskt nettorörelsekapital per tillträdesdagen. Justeringsbeloppet ska betalas kontant av säljarna alternativt Stillfront (beroende på utfall). Den del av köpeskillingen som ska betalas vid tillträdet motsvarar ett ‘enterprise value’ om 4 gånger prognostiserat EBIT 2018 för Bolaget.

Säljarna kan vidare vara berättigade till en justeringsbetalning i den utsträckning Bolagets EBIT för räkenskapsåret 2018 överstiger vissa nivåer. I den utsträckning Bolagets EBIT för räkenskapsåret 2018 understiger vissa nivåer, ska skillnaden kvittas mot eventuella framtida tilläggsköpeskillingar som ska betalas enligt nedan.

Stillfront kommer att betala en tilläggsköpeskilling med ett sammanlagt maximalt belopp om EUR 25 000 000 varav 50% betalas kontant och 50% med nyemitterade aktier i Stillfront. Tilläggsköpeskillingen ska betalas årligen efter fastställande av var och en av de reviderade årsredovisningarna för räkenskapsåren som slutar den 31 december 2019 och 2020. Den slutliga storleken på den årliga tilläggsköpeskillingskomponenten beror på EBIT-utvecklingen för Bolaget. Vidare är tilläggsköpeskillingsbeloppet som baseras på år 2019 begränsat till EUR 15 000 000, där överskottet (om något) ska överföras till nästa år. Den sammanlagda köpeskillingen som Stillfront ska betala för Playa Online kan inte överstiga EUR 45 000 000. Stillfront anser att den totala potentiella köpeskillingen, om den kommer att utbetalas, kommer att resultera i en mycket attraktiv resultatmultipel för Bolaget.

Den kontanta delen av köpeskillingen som ska betalas vid tillträdet avses finansieras med befintlig kassa och tillgängliga krediter och justeringsbetalningen (om någon) liksom den kontanta delen av tilläggsköpeskillingen avses finansieras med egengenererade medel och tillgängliga krediter. Teckningskursen för de nyemitterade aktierna hänförliga till tilläggsköpeskillingen ska motsvara genomsnittligt pris per aktie i Stillfront på Nasdaq First North under de 30 dagar som föregår utgången av relevant räkenskapsår.

De 425 913 nyemitterade aktierna i Stillfront som emitteras till säljarna vid tillträdet är föremål för sedvanliga överlåtelserestriktioner under en period om tolv månader från dagen för erhållande av desamma. De ytterligare aktier som erhålls av säljarna som en del av tilläggsköpeskillingen är föremål för sedvanliga överlåtelserestriktioner under en period om tolv månader från dagen för erhållande av desamma.

PRESS RELEASE
December 11, 2018

Stillfront Group acquires Playa Games GmbH

Stillfront Group AB (publ) (“Stillfront”) today announces its acquisition of 100% of the shares in Playa Games GmbH (“Playa Games” or the “Company”), a leading casual strategy game developer and publisher in Germany.

Playa Games is one of Germany’s leading casual strategy game developer and publishers with five released games and approx. 70 million registered players. The Company’s flagship title is Shakes & Fidget, a cartoon style massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) strategy game published on both browser and mobile platforms. Playa Games is based in Hamburg, Germany.

The Company generated net revenue of approximately EUR 7.7 million, with approx. 55% in EBIT margin for the period January-September 2018. Playa Games was founded in 2009 by Jan Beuck and Martin Jässing, the sole direct and indirect owners, both of whom will remain active as the key management team of the Company going forward.

“Playa Games fits perfectly into Stillfront’s growth strategy by broadening our portfolio of studios and games with characteristics that drive long term gamer relations. Playa Games portfolio and pipeline of games fits perfectly to our games portfolio and increases the potential for synergies within the Group. It is with pleasure I today welcome Jan Beuck, Martin Jässing and the whole team at Playa Games to the Stillfront family”, says Jörgen Larsson, CEO, Stillfront.

“Becoming part of Stillfront Group enables us to continue our development of new products within online strategy games. We see this acquisition as a strategic next step for Playa Games, and we look forward to share market knowledge and create synergies with the other studios of the Stillfront Group”, says Jan Beuck, CEO of Playa Games.

THE TRANSACTION

The transaction involves the acquisition of 100% of the shares in Playa Games. Completion of the acquisition is expected to occur mid December 2018.

The Company will be consolidated into Stillfront’s consolidated financial reporting from 1 December 2018.

Upon completion of the acquisition, EUR 20,000,000 will be paid to the sellers, of which approx. EUR 14,000,000 is payable in cash and the remaining approx. EUR 6,000,000 is payable in 425,913 newly issued shares in Stillfront, where the subscription price corresponds to the volume weighted average price per share in Stillfront traded on the Nasdaq First North exchange during the 30 days preceding the date hereof. This corresponds to a dilution of 1.77% on a fully diluted basis (i.e. based on the total number of shares and votes outstanding after the share issue). The purchase price payable upon completion of the acquisition will be subject to adjustment based on the cash, financial debt and the difference between normalized and actual net working capital of the Company as at the date of completion of the transaction. The adjustment amount is payable by the sellers or Stillfront (as the case may be) in cash. The part of the purchase price payable upon completion corresponds to an enterprise value of 4 times the projected EBIT for 2018 of the Company.

The sellers may be entitled to an adjustment consideration to the extent the EBIT of the Company for the fiscal year 2018 exceeds a certain level. To the extent the EBIT of the Company for the fiscal year 2018 falls below a certain level, the difference amount shall be offset against any future earn-out payable in accordance with the below.

Further, an earn-out consideration is payable by Stillfront in an aggregate maximum total amount of EUR 25,000,000 out of which 50% shall be paid in cash and 50% in newly issued shares in Stillfront. The earn-out consideration is payable annually following the approval of each of the audited annual reports for the financial years ending 31 December 2019 and 2020. The ultimate size of the yearly earn-out component will depend on the EBIT development of the Company. In addition, the earn-out consideration amount based on the year 2019 shall be capped at EUR 15,000,000, where the excess (if any) shall be accumulated for the next year. The total purchase price payable by Stillfront for Playa Games cannot exceed EUR 45,000,000. Stillfront considers that the total potential consideration, if payable, will result in very attractive earnings multiple for the Company.

The cash portion of the purchase price payable upon completion is intended to be financed by cash at hand and available credit facilities and the adjustment consideration (if any) as well as the cash portion of the earn-out consideration is intended to be financed through internal cash generation and available credit facilities. The subscription price for the newly issued shares related to the earn-out consideration shall correspond to the volume weighted average price per share in Stillfront traded on the Nasdaq First North exchange during the 30 days preceding the end of the relevant fiscal year.

The 425,913 newly issued shares in Stillfront that are to be issued to the sellers upon completion are subject to customary transfer restrictions during a period of twelve months from the date of receipt of the same. The additional shares received by the sellers as part of the earn-out consideration are subject to customary transfer restrictions during a period of twelve months from the date of receipt of the same.
