Notes to the Financial Statements
As I wrote in my letter accompanying the Q1 results in May of this year, the global video games
market continues to be challenging for publishers and developers of all sizes; with this in mind
our financial results for H1 2024 look extremely positive, in summary,
Revenue - for H1 2024 amounted to DKK 5.8M, a 31% increase from 4.4M DKK in H1 2023
EBITDA - was a profit of 2.5M in H1 2024 against a profit of DKK 17k in H1 2023
Cash reserves - as of 30 June 2024 amounted to DKK 43.5M against DKK 32.2M
as of 30 June 2023.
Aside from the positive financial results, we made several important announcements in the
Spring of this year, these included
Co-Financing Closer The Distance – from our initial announcement in June, the ‘slice of
life simulator’ from the award-winning Indie developer Osmotic Studios was launched in
early August to overwhelmingly positive player reviews and media reaction.
Founding member of Games Denmark – in the late Spring we joined the ranks of studios
such as Tactile Games and IO Interactive in becoming founding members of Games
Denmark. It was a proud moment for 5th Planet Games, and we look forward to being full
and active members of the new association as they support the growth of the video
games industry here in Denmark.
Distribution of Funko Fusion in partnership with Nordisk Interactive – as part of our
ongoing efforts to diversify our business and find new revenue streams, we announced in
late June that we would be working with Nordisk Interactive to distribute all of the physical
editions of Funko Fusion across the Nordic region; the game is coming to PC, PlayStation 4
and 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch later this year, and is set to be one of
the biggest game releases of the year.
When reflecting on the headwinds being experienced by the global video games industry,
which are being felt most acutely in the new, original, ‘Indie games’ category, the Board of
5th Planet Games and I took the decision to drop one title from our release schedule this year
and adjust projections on several others, this resulted in new guidance for the year and a
more conservative short-term outlook, our longer term outlook is undiminished and remains
overwhelmingly positive.
Despite the challenges, we have delivered another profitable period, we continue to show
growth both in terms of our financial performance and the diversity of our business, and we
have some truly amazing new opportunities ahead of us.
Thanks for your support
Mark Stanger, CEO
