Comment from Ji Ham, Acting CEO of EG7:

EG7 delivered another strong quarter with growth across all segments despite the increasing uncertainties in the global economy. For Q2, the group generated Net Revenue of SEK 462.8 (311.1) million, representing 48.8 percent growth and a strong organic growth of 40.9 percent. The organic growth in local currencies amounted to 23.6 percent. This represents our third consecutive quarter of noteworthy organic growth. We are very pleased to be able to deliver such consistent performance while a large cross section of the industry is dealing with slowing or, in many cases, negative growth. Adjusted EBITDA for the period was SEK 84.3 (81.1) million. The group businesses continue to produce consistent cash flows, generating a healthy SEK 63.5 (39.4) million of operating cash flows for the quarter.

Both Game and Service segments continue to demonstrate strong growth. Service segment produced another great quarter with Net Revenue of SEK 192.4 (94.7) million, representing an exceptional organic growth of 103.2 percent. Game segment is performing steadily and delivered Net Revenue of SEK 270.4 (216.4) million, representing 25.0 percent growth for the period.

While the group is not immune to a global market slowdown, we are very well-positioned to weather the volatility better than others, benefitting from our diversified portfolio of businesses and the significant recurring and stable revenues from our live games portfolio.

Net Revenue for July came in at SEK 132.7 million and Net Revenue range expectations for the full year is SEK 1.6-1.7 billion with margins near the new normalized level.
