‌DIRECTORS' REPORT

  1. ‌GROUP ORGANIZATION

    Digital Bros Group ("the Group") develops, publishes and distributes video games on international markets. The Group is organized into five operational business segments:

    Premium Games: activities primarily involve the acquisition of intellectual property rights for video games from developers to distribute them primarily on digital marketplaces such as Steam, Sony PlayStation Network, Microsoft Xbox Live, Epic Game Store, etc..

    The Group develops video games either directly, through its internal development studios, or working with independent teams. In the case of video games developed by external studios, the Company secures global rights either through long-term exclusive licensing agreements or via perpetual acquisitions.

    The labels used for worldwide publishing are 505 Games and 505 Pulse.

    During the reporting period, Premium Games activities were carried out by the subsidiary 505 Games S.p.A., which coordinates this operating segment, together with 505 Games Ltd. and 505 Games (US) Inc.. As part of the Group's efforts to streamline its operations, starting from July 1, 2024, all activities that were previously carried out by 505 Games Interactive Inc. have been fully transferred to 505 Games US.

    The subsidiary 505 Pulse S.r.l. publishes video games with lower development budget.

    The Dutch company Rasplata B.V. is now 100% owned following the acquisition of the remaining 40% stake in August 2024. Rasplata B.V. owns the intellectual property and the technology used for the development of the video game Crime Boss: Rockay City.

    The voluntary liquidation of the subsidiaries 505 Games France S.a.s. and 505 Games Spain Slu was finalized in the reporting period, while the liquidation process for the German subsidiary 505 Games GmbH is still ongoing.

    The following internal development studios operate in the Premium Games segment:

    • the Italian company Kunos Simulazioni S.r.l., fully owned by the Group, developed and published the video games Assetto Corsa and Assetto Corsa Competizione. The team is now finalizing the development of the video game Assetto Corsa EVO, which was released in Early Access on Steam on January 16th, 2025;

    • the Czech company Ingame Studios a.s. a Brno-based studio in charge of the development of Crime Boss: Rockay City., which is fully owned by the Group;

    • the Italian company Avantgarden S.r.l., a Milan-based development studio fully owned by the Group;

    • the Italian company Supernova Games Studios S.r.l., a development studio based in Milan and fully owned by the Group;

    • the Canadian company Chrysalide Jeux et Divertissement Inc., held at 75% by the Group, which is currently developing the video game The Directorate: Novitiate.

    The Group established the Spanish joint venture MSE & DB S.l. with the development studio MercurySteam Entertainment S.l., which owns the intellectual property of the new video game Blades of Fire.

    Free to Play: activities involve developing and publishing video games and/or applications that are distributed for free on digital marketplaces and monetized through in-app purchases. Free to Play video games typically present lower technical complexity compared to Premium titles, but when successful, they tend to enjoy a longer life cycle. Following their launch, Free-to-Play games require ongoing maintenance and updates to keep the users' interested, increase the players retention and extend the game's longevity.

    Worldwide publishing activities are coordinated by 505 Mobile S.r.l., together with the U.S.-based 505 Mobile (US) Inc., which provides consultancy services to other Group companies and the UK-based DR Studios Ltd., which develops Free to Play video games.

    The Australian companies 505 Games Australia Pty Ltd., Infinite Interactive Pty. and Infinity Plus Two Pty own the intellectual properties for the video games Puzzle Quest and Gems of War, for which provide live support activities.

    In July 2022, 505 Games Mobile S.r.l. acquired 100% of D3Publisher of America Inc., an American publisher of Free to Play video games, including spin-offs of the Puzzle Quest series. The company was then rebranded 505 Go! Inc. after the acquisition was finalized.

    The labels 505 Mobile and 505 Go! are used for worldwide publishing activities in the Free to Play segment.

    Italian Distribution: consists of the distribution in Italy of video games purchased from international publishers. The operations are run by the Parent Company, Digital Bros S.p.A., under the Halifax brand. Other Activities: all remaining activities fall under the Other Activities operating segment for reporting purposes. This segment includes training and professional courses related to the video game industry carried out by the subsidiary Digital Bros Game Academy S.r.l..

    The Group also holds a 60% stake in the UK-based company Seekhana Ltd..

    Holding: activities consist of management of HR, financial planning and business development carried out by the Parent Company, Digital Bros S.p.A.. Digital Bros China Ltd., Digital Bros Asia Pacific (HK) Ltd. and 505 Games Japan K.K. support the Holding company with business development activities in the Asian markets. Digital Bros Holdings Ltd. was not active during the period.

    All the above-mentioned companies are fully owned, except for the 60% held in Seekhana Ltd and the 75% held in Chrysalide Jeux et Divertissement Inc..

  2. ‌THE VIDEO GAMES MARKET

    The video game market is a key segment of the entertainment industry, alongside movies, books, magazines, and toys. These sectors share common characteristics, brands, features, and intellectual properties, contributing to a dynamic and interconnected entertainment landscape.

    The growth achieved by the video game industry during the pandemic generated widespread optimism, prompting many competitors to initiate new productions and significantly increase the average investment per game. As a result, an unprecedented and unexpected number of new video games were launched on the market, making it harder to meet the expected volume and revenue targets. Because of this, many companies were forced to reassess their strategies regarding portfolio investments and marketing expenditures to adapt to this competitive scenario. Starting from the second half of 2023, the market has seen waves of layoffs, studio closures, and project cancellations. As of the reporting date, such a situation remains unresolved.

    The video games market value chain is as follows:



    The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated the decline of retail distribution, which has now become marginal and has been almost entirely supplanted by digital distribution channels.

    Developers

    Developers create and design video games, usually based on original ideas, a successful brand, a movie, sports simulations etc.. It has become increasingly common for highly successful video games to be adapted into movies, TV series, cartoons, and other media.

    Developers generally retain intellectual property rights, but they may transfer their rights to publishers for a limited period of time, which is defined contractually. Publishers play therefore a key role in this value chain, contributing to the production of video games, creating a player community, and managing its distribution across their global commercial networks.

    In some cases, developers may choose to publish and market the game independently. However, this approach significantly increases the financial and operational risks for these players.

    Publishers

    The publisher is responsible for the video game's launch, defining its global commercial strategy, overseeing product positioning and packaging, bearing all the related risks, while sharing instead all opportunities from the game success with the developer. Publishers typically finance the development process and often acquire the game's intellectual property either permanently or for a set period, including licensing rights for sequels.

    Console manufacturers

    The console manufacturer designs and produces the hardware used for playing video games. Sony manufactures the PlayStation, Microsoft the Xbox and Nintendo the Nintendo Switch. Console manufacturers often also operate as video game publishers.

    The key marketplaces that sell console video games are Sony's PlayStation Store, Microsoft's Xbox Live and Nintendo's eShop. Steam is the global leader in the digital distribution of video games for personal computers. More recently, the US company Epic Games Inc. launched its Epic Games Store for PC.

    The digitalization of the market has driven both Microsoft (with Xbox Game Pass) and Sony (with PlayStation Now) to develop digital platforms where players can access an entire library of video games for a predefined period by paying a subscription fee, rather than purchasing individual titles. Revenues for publishers and developers are recognized when a game is added to the platform, based on a predetermined annual fee defined for each product. Additionally, as end consumers play the games, the platform provides an incremental fee to the publishers based on user engagement.

    Digital distribution has extended the video game's lifecycle. Video games' availability is no longer limited to their launch on the retail channel, but rather they remain available on marketplaces for longer, thus generating a continuous revenue stream, which can be significantly influenced by promotional campaigns. The video games' life cycle can also be extended by releasing additional chapters and content after the official launch of the main game. The additional features (the so-called DLC, or Downloadable Contents) are available on digital marketplaces for consumers to buy or download for free.

    Free to Play video games are only available in digital format on the following marketplaces: the App Store for iPhone and iPad, the PlayStore for Android for Western markets and a number of different marketplaces for Far Eastern markets. Some Free to Play video games are also available on Sony PlayStation Store, Microsoft's Xbox Live for console, Steam and Epic Games Store for PC.

  3. ‌ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE RATIOS

    The Group relies on specific key performance ratios to simplify the comprehension of the consolidated profit and loss statement and balance sheet. The key performance ratios used in this report are consistent with previous years.

    The following ratios are directly reported in the profit and loss statement:

    • Gross profit, being the difference between net revenue and total cost of sales;

    • EBITDA, being the difference between gross profit, other income and total operating costs plus other income;

    • EBIT, being the difference between EBITDA and total depreciation, amortization and impairment adjustments.

      With regards to the profit and loss statements, the same rationale is also valid for the net financial position, which is detailed in the Explanatory Notes.

      The ratios used by the Group could be misaligned with those adopted by other companies, as they are not defined by any accounting standard and therefore they could not be fully comparable.

      No reconciliation is required between the performance indicators included in the Directors' Report and the consolidated financial statements, as the metrics used by the Group are derived directly from the figures reported in the consolidated financial statements.

  4. ‌SEASONALITY EFFECTS

    Market seasonality is heavily influenced by the release of highly anticipated and popular video games. The launch of a successful title in a specific period can lead to significant revenue volatility across quarters. Sales are often concentrated in the first few days following the game's release, especially when the launch is supported by targeted marketing and promotional campaigns.

    The digitalization of the market has contributed to a more stable revenue stream for publishers across quarters. Unlike physical retail cycles, digital marketplaces recognize revenue at the time of the end consumer's purchase, thereby reducing the impact of seasonal sales fluctuations.

    Promotional campaigns on digital marketplaces play a crucial role in boosting revenue during specific periods. Publishers strategically align their marketing efforts with peak consumer spending seasons, such as Christmas in European markets, Black Friday in the U.S., and the Chinese New Year.

    Revenues from Free-to-Play games tend to be less affected by seasonal fluctuations compared to Premium Games. Free-to-Play titles typically generate steadily increasing revenue over time, without significant spikes at launch, except in rare cases involving highly anticipated titles with exceptionally well-known brands. The impact of promotions on revenue performance is significant; however, unlike Premium Games, these promotions occur much more frequently and are spread over shorter intervals, preventing excessive revenue volatility across different quarters.

    The only residual contribution of physical distribution sales to the overall total consolidated revenue has also significantly reduced the volatility of net working capital requirements.

  5. ‌SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD

    On October 28th, 2024, the Shareholders' Meeting of Digital Bros Group approved the Financial Statements for the fiscal year 2023-2024 and appointed Veronica Devetag Chalaupka as a new member of the Board of Directors. The new Director will remain in charge with the other current Directors until the Shareholders' Meeting convened for the approval of the financial statements as at June 30th, 2026.

    Relations with Starbreeze

    Over the past fiscal years, Digital Bros Group and Starbreeze group ("Starbreeze") have entered multiple different transactions, summarized below.

    In May 2016, the Group sold back the PAYDAY2 co-publishing rights to Starbreeze against a payment of USD 30 million and an earn-out of USD 40 million as 33% of the net revenues from the future video game PAYDAY3.

    In January and February 2020, the Group conducted the following transactions:

    • on January 15th, 2020, Digital Bros S.p.A. acquired 18,969,395 Starbreeze STAR A shares held by Swedish company Varvtre AB for a consideration of around SEK 25.8 million, at a price of SEK 1.36 per share;

    • on February 26th, 2020, Digital Bros S.p.A. completed the acquisition of all of the assets held by Smilegate Holdings in Starbreeze for a price of Euro 19.2 million. The assets acquired have a nominal value of Euro 35.3 million, as detailed below:

      1. a convertible bond of approximately SEK 215 million issued by Starbreeze for a total of Euro

        16.9 million;

      2. a receivable of around SEK 165 million for a consideration of Euro 100 thousand. This credit fell under the Starbreeze restructuring process and provided for repayment based on the terms of payment approved by the Swedish District Court and no later than December 2024;

      3. 3,601,083 Starbreeze STAR A shares and 6,018,948 Starbreeze STAR B shares for a total amount of Euro 2.2 million.

        On July 19th, 2023, the Company requested the full conversion of the convertible bond, which resulted in the issuance of no. 148.3 million Starbreeze B shares.

        During the last months of the previous fiscal year, different interpretations emerged between the Group and Starbreeze AB about the calculation of the earn out from the transfer of PAYDAY 2 rights to the Swedish developer and the repayment of receivables related to other contracts between the two groups.

        On February 27th, 2025, the Group reached a settlement agreement with the Swedish developer, resolving all outstanding matters. Consequently, the Provision for Starbreeze arbitration costs accrued as of June 30, 2024 was released, as no arbitration proceeding is required. The agreement did not have a significant impact on the net result in the reporting period, since the released provision was balanced by losses on Starbreeze receivables of Euro 0.9 million and financial charges of Euro 0.3 million, related to the net present value adjustment of the expected payments which will occur before January 2027.

        As of May 14th, 2025, the Group now holds no. 87 million Starbreeze A shares and no. 223.4 million Starbreeze B shares. This accounts for 19.11% of the share capital and 37.65% of voting rights.

        The Group reassessed its analysis on:

        • Starbreeze AB's governance structure and Digital Bros' representation in its corporate bodies;

        • Digital Bros' involvement in Starbreeze AB's decision making process;

        • the existing business relations between Digital Bros and Starbreeze AB;

        • the exchange of professionals and technical information between the two companies.

        As a result of such analysis, and consistent with previous fiscal years, Digital Bros concluded that it does not exercise significant influence over Starbreeze, despite holding a substantial portion of the voting capital.

    In the post-pandemic period, the gaming industry passed through significant structural changes, connected to an exceptional number of new launches. The Group reassessed its portfolio of intellectual properties during the past fiscal year to address the new market dynamics, by re-evaluating each project based on the expected risk-return profile. This strategic review focused on higher-margin titles with more predictable revenue streams, especially fully owned intellectual properties with the potential to generate long-term value for the Group. Consequently, development was discontinued on several lower-budget projects, as well as certain high-budget titles with longer development timelines and lower profitability for the Group, including the new titles of the Control franchise.

    Given these market conditions and the corrective actions implemented, the Group expects full year revenue to decline compared to the previous fiscal year. However, such a reduction is not expected to materially impact on the Group's EBIT margin.

    As of March 31st, 2025, total revenue amounted to Euro 66.4 million, down by 12.4% compared to the first nine months in the previous fiscal year. During the reporting period, the Group released the new video game Assetto Corsa EVO in Early Access on Steam compared to the previous period when two titles (Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and Ghostrunner 2) were launched.

    In the remaining quarter of the current fiscal year, the Group will launch the new video game Blades of Fire multiplatform and exclusively on the Epic Games Store for the Personal Computer version. The solid release schedule will see the multiplatform release of the highly anticipated video game Wuchang: Fallen Feathers in July, which will also be available through the Microsoft Game Pass subscription service.

    The breakdown of net revenue by operating segment as of March 31st, 2025, compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year is as follows:

    As of March 31st, 2025, Premium Games revenue amounted to Euro 54.4 million, down by 8.7% and representing 82% of total net revenue. The Assetto Corsa brand showed particularly strong performances, generating Euro 25.6 million during the reporting period, a 34% increase compared to the Euro 19,1 million over the first nine months of the previous fiscal year. The brand performances benefitted from the launch of the new version Assetto Corsa EVO in Early Access on Steam on January 16th, 2025, developed by the internal studio Kunos Simulazioni.

    Revenue generated from fully owned Intellectual Properties (IPs) accounted for 60% of the Euro 54.4 million revenue generated by the Premium Games operating segment, increasing from 53% in the same period of the previous fiscal year, primarily driven by the launch of the fully owned Assetto Corsa EVO. Co-owned IPs and long-term publishing agreements accounted for 24% of Premium Games revenue.

    Free-to-Play revenue amounted to Euro 10.2 million, down by 27.5% compared to the first nine months of the previous fiscal year. The video games published by the subsidiary 505 Go! have been upgraded to a new game engine starting from the previous fiscal year. This will enhance the performance of the live support activities by allowing further reaching and more complex event updates, together with easier and more frequent promotional activities. The upgrade will also support localization into additional languages, expanding the game's player base to a global audience. As of the reporting date, the game is primarily available in English and, to a lesser extent, in major Western languages, with most revenue generated in the U.S.. The software upgrade to Unity is being finalized with the new version currently in test, with a global launch expected in Q4 of the current fiscal year.

    Non-domestic revenues were 97% of net revenue, while digital sales represented 91% of the total, consistent with prior years.

    The cost of sales as a percentage of total revenue remained largely unchanged at 33.9%, resulting in a decrease in gross profit of Euro 6,805 thousand, from Euro 50,692 thousand as of March 31st, 2024 to Euro 43,887 thousand. The gross profit margin remained stable at 66.1%.

    Other revenue amounted to Euro 6,673 thousand, down by Euro 1,545 thousand, primarily due to lower capitalization of internal studio video game development, since most projects have now transitioned into live support. The capitalization of internal studio video game development included:

    • the Free to Play game Hawken: Reborn, developed by the subsidiary DR Studios Ltd.;

    • the video game Assetto Corsa EVO, developed by the subsidiary Kunos Simulazioni S.r.l;

    • the video game Directorate: Novitiate developed by the subsidiary Chrysalide Jeux et Divertissement Inc..

    The reorganization process implemented in the previous fiscal year, combined with reduced costs for services in consideration of fewer release, enabled a decline in the operating costs of Euro 8,700 thousand. For such a reason, EBITDA slightly improved by Euro 350 thousand despite the revenue decline, increasing from Euro 20,236 thousand as of March 31st, 2024 to the current Euro 20,586 thousand.

    Total depreciation, amortization and impairment adjustments amounted to Euro 18,263 thousand, decreasing by Euro 5,098 thousand. Depreciation and amortization amounted to Euro 17,894 thousand, decreased by Euro 5,584 thousand from Euro 23,478 thousand as of March 31st, 2024. Provisions were positive at Euro 1,241 thousand, reflecting the reversal of the Provision for Starbreeze arbitration costs accrued as of June 30th, 2024, since no arbitration is needed following the agreement reached with the Swedish group. Asset impairment charges amounted to Euro 1,741 thousand, including Euro 966 thousand losses on Starbreeze receivables resulting from the settlement agreement. The remaining portion was mainly related to the lower-than-expected performance of some video games, whose impairment tests resulted in write-offs for Euro 750 thousand. As a result, the EBIT margin improved by Euro 5,448 thousand compared to the previous period, increasing from a negative Euro 3,125 thousand to a positive Euro 2,323 thousand as of March 31st, 2025.

    The net interest expense amounted to Euro 3,167 thousand, compared to Euro 2,287 thousand in the first nine months of the last fiscal year, primarily driven by lower exchange rate gains.

    The loss before tax was at Euro 844 thousand, significantly improving by Euro 4,568 thousand from the Euro 5,412 thousand loss before tax realized as of March 31st, 2024.

    The consolidated net loss for the period amounted to Euro 2,071 thousand, compared to the Euro 6,680 thousand net loss as of March 31st, 2024.

    The net loss attributable to the shareholders of the Parent Company was at Euro 2,290 thousand, improved by Euro 606 thousand compared to the previous fiscal year. The net profit attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to Euro 219 thousand, compared to the net loss of Euro 3,784 thousand in the previous reporting period. The last year net loss was attributable to the 40% minority interest pro-rata result of Euro 3,698 thousand of the Dutch subsidiary Rasplata B.V. which was fully acquired by the Group in August 2024.

    The basic loss per share and the diluted loss per share amounted to Euro 0.16, compared to the Euro 0.20 basic loss per share and diluted loss per share as of March 31st, 2024.

    During the reporting period, intangible assets decrease by Euro 1,467 thousand, as a result of depreciation and impairment charges for Euro 16,933 thousand and investments for Euro 15,466 thousand.

    Equity investments decrease by Euro 4,008 thousand, mostly driven by the fair value adjustment of the Starbreeze shares held as of March 31st, 2025.

    Non-current receivables and other assets decrease by Euro 5,320 thousand, of which Euro 4,425 thousand related to the reclassified portion of the receivable from Starbreeze that is due beyond twelve months, according to the settlement agreement finalized with the Swedish developer on February 27th, 2025.

    Total current assets decrease by Euro 30,015 thousand compared to June 30th, 2024, mainly due to:

    • lower trade receivables by Euro 9,061;

    • lower cash and cash equivalent by Euro 6,472 thousand;

    • lower current financial assets by Euro 9,132 thousand resulting from the collection of the receivables from Remedy Entertainment, as per last years' agreement reverting all rights related to the Control franchise to the Finnish developer.

      Non-current liabilities decrease by Euro 7,030 thousand, mainly due to lower non-current financial liabilities for Euro 6,770 thousand.

      Total current liabilities are down by Euro 25,537 thousand, driven by:

    • lower trade payables for Euro 12,486 thousand;

    • the reversal of Euro 1,241 thousand accrued for the Provision for Starbreeze arbitration costs;

    • lower other current liabilities for Euro 2,444 thousand;

    • lower current financial liabilities by Euro 9,337 thousand.

    As of March 31st, 2025, Premium Games revenue amounted to Euro 54.4 million, down by 8.7% and representing 82% of total net revenue. The Assetto Corsa brand showed particularly strong performances, generating Euro 25.6 million during the reporting period, a 34% increase compared to the Euro 19,1 million over the first nine months of the previous fiscal year. The brand performances benefitted from the launch of the new version Assetto Corsa EVO in Early Access on Steam on January 16th, 2025, developed by the internal studio Kunos Simulazioni.

    Revenue generated from fully owned Intellectual Properties (IPs) accounted for 60% of the Euro 54.4 million revenue generated by the Premium Games operating segment, increasing from 53% in the same period of the previous fiscal year, primarily driven by the launch of the fully owned Assetto Corsa EVO. Co-owned IPs and long-term publishing agreements accounted for 24% of Premium Games revenue.

    The increase of Personal Computers revenue was offset by lower console and mobile revenue, reflecting a different product mix across the two reporting periods.

    The total cost of sales decreased by 12.2% compared to March 31st, 2024, from Euro 16,747 thousand to Euro 14,701 thousand.

    Gross profit amounted to Euro 39,737 thousand, representing 73% of Premium Games revenue, decreasing by Euro 3,119 thousand compared to March 31st, 2024, when it reflected 71.9% of revenue of the operating segment.

    Other revenue amounted to Euro 5,323 thousand, down by Euro 1,085 thousand primarily due to lower capitalization of internal studio video game development, since most projects have now transitioned into live support. The capitalization of internal studios development of video games included:

    • the video game Assetto Corsa EVO, developed by the subsidiary Kunos Simulazioni S.r.l;

    • the video game Directorate: Novitiate developed by the subsidiary Chrysalide Jeux et Divertissement Inc..

    The total operating costs decreased by 23.5%, a Euro 5,341 thousand reduction compared to the first nine months of the previous fiscal year. The reduction was mainly driven by lower payroll costs by Euro 4,087 thousand resulting from the reorganization implemented during the last fiscal year. Costs for services decreased significantly by Euro 1,185 thousand (-28.6%) due to fewer launches compared to the previous period and benefiting from cost cutting initiatives implemented along with the reorganization.

    The gross operating margin (EBITDA) amounted to Euro 27,719 thousand (50.9% of net revenue), increasing by Euro 1,137 thousand compared to Euro 26,582 thousand realized as of March 31st, 2024 (when it represented 44.6% of the net revenue of the operating segment).

    Total depreciation, amortization and impairment adjustments improved by Euro 4,766 thousand, contributing to an EBIT improvement of Euro 5,903 thousand compared March 31st, 2024. As of March 31st, 2025, EBIT was positive at Euro 12,052 thousand (22.1% of net revenue).

    Depreciation and amortization decreased by Euro 5,356 thousand, while provisions were positive for Euro 1,241 thousand, reflecting the release of the Provision for Starbreeze arbitration costs accrued as of June 30th, 2024, no longer needed as a result of the settlement agreement with the Swedish group.

    Asset impairment charges amounted to Euro 1,721 thousand and included Euro 966 thousand related to the net losses on the receivable from Starbreeze AB as part of the settlement agreement with the Swedish group. The remaining portion was mainly related to the lower-than-expected performance of some video games, whose impairment tests resulted in write-offs of Euro 750 thousand
