INTERIM REPORT 1
st
Quarter 2023
Three months ended 31 March 2023
CEO-letter: Q1 2023
As with the 2022 Annual Report published a few weeks ago, I take great pleasure in writing this letter to
accompany the 2023 Q1 results. The single most important consideration in the results is that we are once
again able to report on a profitable quarter with a positive EBITDA for the period of DKK 8k; when I dig a
little deeper into the results, I observe that;
Our back catalogue continues to outperform budget.
The cost of maintaining our back catalogue is under budget.
The titles co-published with Skybound make a significant contribution to revenue.
Our total OPEX is under budget with historically low operating costs.
Operating and maintaining a profitable business continues to be my number one priority and objective and
that will not change as we progress through this year, or indeed, through the years to come.
In reflecting on the first 3 months of the year, and part from the positive financial results, there have been
several other highlights, these have included;
5th Planet Games building on its relationship with Skybound and investing in the Regulation A Tier 2
offering of Skybound Holdings LLC
The BAFTA award winning game Before Your Eyes being selected as a launch title for the Sony PlayStation
VR2 on March 10th.
The new game from Toylogic and Skybound Glitchbusters: Stuck on You confirmed for a launch date of May
23.
We have lots more to look forward to in 2023, but I am really delighted to have started the year with such a
solid financial statement for Q1; we now have considerable momentum behind us and so many exciting
new opportunities ahead of us.
Thank you for your interest and support,
Yours sincerely,
Mark Stanger, CEO, 5th Planet Games A/S

4. Derivative financial instruments
On 7 September 2021, the parent company of the group entered into an investment agreement with Sky-
bound Games Studios (the investor). The investor receives right to subscribe mandatorily and investment
shares and warrants (collectively “rights”) which can be exercised on different dates depending on the
tranches. Each right can be exercised for one share (i.e., 1:1 conversion ratio) and the number of shares
that will be issued are fixed for all these tranches. Upon settlement, the fixed exercise amount in
Norwegian kroner (NOK) is settled by the investor by paying its US dollar (USD) equivalent. The functional
and presentation currency of the parent company and the Group is Danish kroner (DKK). Hence, although
the exercise amount is fixed in NOK, the equivalent amount in DKK is variable depending on the prevailing
exchange rate between DKK and USD at settlement date. This variable amount does not qualify the
definition of equity instrument and therefore, these rights are classified as derivative financial assets /
liabilities.
The liability amount DKK 26.9m per 31 March 2023 is variable with the development in exchange rate in
NOK/DKK and the company’s share price. The amount is the calculated fair value that the company would
have received less if the company’s share price and exchange rate NOK/DKK as per 31 March 2023 had
been used in the agreement for the investment Tranche 4.
Per 31 December 2022 the amount was a liability of DKK 25.1m. The costs incurred in Q1 2023 therefore is
an expenses or DKK 1.8m.
Contingent liabilities
Based on management’s assessment the group is not involved in any lawsuits, arbitration cases or other
matters which could have a material impact on the group’s financial position or results of operations.
Acquired IP rights / co-productions rights.
As part of the investment agreement, 5th Planet Games has provided certain representations and
warranties to Skybound Games. Should Skybound Games suffer a loss due to certain specific warranties not
being true, accurate and not misleading, Skybound Games will, at its own discretion, have the option of
being indemnified from its loss by exercising up to 2,200,000 warrants (depending on the loss), each
warrant entitling Skybound Games to subscribe for 1 share of nominal DKK 0.05 at par value (the
“Indemnification Warrants”). The potential loss from this warranty is estimated to be unsignificant.
