“We continued to deliver according to plan in the fourth quarter. The marketing landscape continued to improve, and our user acquisition spend reached all-time high levels in the quarter with sustained high returns. Several recently acquired studios performed well and gained additional momentum towards the latter part of the quarter. For example, Jawaker, which was consolidated from 1 October 2021, had a very strong first quarter as part of Stillfront and has outperformed our expectations. In addition to the strong performance from our acquired studios, we are pleased that Stillfront as a group grew organically in December compared to December last year, with contribution from many of our studios and through a number of exciting new game launches.”
