ANNUAL REPORT 2024
5th Planet Games is an international, publicly traded company founded in 2011 and focused on financing and publishing
video games entertainment.
We are a small, lean company that is backed by a highly driven executive team from Europe and the USA, each of
whom have decades of experience in video games and entertainment creation, publishing, and distribution.
5th Planet Games enters into strategic partnerships with global IP holders to create unique opportunities for game
content creation by our outstanding development partners worldwide and secures co-publishing status in games
across all platforms, mobile, console and PC.
With a strong and growing portfolio of titles and, since 2021, a partnership with Skybound Entertainment, 5th Planet
Games now has access to compelling, proven, world-famous IP including The Walking Dead and Invincible.
Due to a high-quality back catalogue of games and an exciting release schedule ahead, 5th Planet Games has seen a
significant improvement in financial results over the last couple of years with many more exciting opportunities ahead!

ANNUAL REPORT 2024
During our recent investor call, I focused on 3 areas as being key to the ongoing growth
and development of 5th Planet Games as we navigate a challenging global market.
1. That we continue to operate profitably
2. That we continue to take steps to sensibly diversify our business
3. That we continue to align ourselves with the biggest and most proven IP that we can find
Now, as I look back on the year ending in December 2024, I can assess our performance in
relation to these priorities.
IN terms of profitability, once again, we can report a profitable year with Revenue in 2024
increased to DKK 12.5m from 10.5m in 2023 whilst EBITDA shows a gain of DKK 2.5m in 2024
compared to 2023 where EBITDA without other income was DKK 0.7m.
In relation to diversifying, whilst we continued to actively manage our (mobile) back catalogue
of games, we took further steps into console and PC, and through our partnership agreement
with Nordisk Interactive A/S launched our first game for Physical distribution across the Nordic
region.
With regard to aligning ourselves with the biggest IP, I was delighted to announce last year our
investments in both the next game in the Invincible Universe which is undoubtedly one of the
hottest IP’s in global entertainment right now and the co-financing of the new game in The
Walking Dead universe which was last year recognized by Owl & Co as the “most successful
non-kids entertainment franchise wholly created this century”. We will be talking much more
about both projects in 2025!
We really need to keep in mind as we assess this progress just how challenging the global video
games market has been in recent times; many analysts quoted a figure of net 2% year on year
growth in 2024 with only the mobile games sector showing growth in real terms.
For a small team, 5tH Planet Games achieved a lot in 2024, and all of this supports the goals
listed at the start of this letter, in chronological order;
We continue to operate the business profitably despite the challenges we face in the short to
medium term, whilst taking every opportunity to secure dynamic growth in the medium to
longer term.
Thanks for the continued support.

ANNUAL REPORT 2024
Outlook for 2025
Over the course of last year, the Company made several large investments in the new Invincible
and The Walking Dead games; these games are based on enduring and commercially proven
IP and give huge commercial potential to 5
th
Planet. Invincible is now the #1 revenue generating
tv show globally on Amazon Prime and The Walking Dead continues to be a top 10 tv show on
Netflix.
We continue to actively maintain our entire back catalogue and are looking at new distribution
opportunities for that catalogue. We will also expand our physical distribution capability during
the course of the year and will make a further announcement on that in due course.
A combination of all the above results in guidance for the year of achieving a c.70% increase
in revenue, and EBITDA for the year within the range of 0.5m – 2m DKK. We fully expect to see
even more significant growth in revenue and profit in 2026 driven by the new games and will
provide further guidance on that in due course.
Business Development
Our partnership with Skybound is still strategically significant for 5th Planet Games; we meet
with Skybound leadership on a bi-weekly basis and continue to look at a wide range of publishing
and financing opportunities. Skybound have also given us access to world-class entertainment
IP such as Invincible and The Walking Dead and we continue to assess a wide range of new
opportunities both with Skybound and Independently. Our 2023 investment in Sagafilm ehf was
a pivotal moment for 5th Planet Games and below you can read a brief summary of things to
look forward to from our Icelandic partner.

ANNUAL REPORT 2024
2024 was an incredibly busy year at Sagafilm and that momentum carries forward into
2025 with several projects being finalized in post-production, these include VAKA (Amazon
Prime, co-production) and 112 Reykjavík (Síminn Iceland & ARTE, service project), Above
Iceland (aerial documentary for ZDF/ARTE and TerraX), Weekend Dads (TV comedy for
Síminn), and Videoson (docuseries for RÚV).
Principal photography on Hildur, based on the best-selling novel, begins in February 2025.
This co-production with Finland’s Take Two Studios has IPR.VC as the equity partner, with
Cineflix handling distribution.
Finally, production on two new projects is due to start in 2025; Remote, a feature film co-
produced between Iceland and Canada, with K5 managing sales, and Signals, an Icelandic
eight-part TV thriller.
A business update from the Sagafilm leadership will form the basis of an upcoming 5th
Planet investor call, early in 2025.

ANNUAL REPORT 2024
For 2024 we can again announce a profit, and we have now been able to report routine
and increasing profits for every financial quarter since Q3 2022; this is made possible by
expanding our product portfolio from mobile games into console games and in 2024 into
physical distribution.
Diversity ensures ongoing growth in a challenging market, and we continue to review all
new opportunities, both short and long term.
In 2023 we invested in Sagafilm ehf and in 2024 we made two strategic and very significant
investments in co-financing the new games in the Invincible and The Walking Dead
universes with a total investment of 41m DKK. Both investments were possible because of
the investment agreement entered into with the Skybound Group in 2021 and both support
our strategy of investing in the biggest and most commercially successful IP in the world
of entertainment.
We have in 2024 impaired the game Atom Eve and recognized a loss of 2.5m DKK, so the
book value is now DKK 0. In spite of the ongoing growth, we continue to strive for a lean and
agile organization, and we have therefore performed a group internal merger between
5th Planet Games A/S and 5th Planet Games Development ApS as the dissolving entity.
The proposed merger is between 5th Planet Games A/S and its wholly owned subsidiary
5th Planet Games Development ApS. 5th Planet Games A/S will be the continuing
company, while 5th Planet Games Development ApS will be dissolved without liquidation
by transferring its assets and liabilities as a whole to 5th Planet Games A/S. The purpose
of the merger is to simplify the group structure and eliminate unnecessary administrative
burdens and costs. As the merger is an internal group merger, the merger will have no
effect on the value of 5th Planet Games A/S.
The merger will have accounting effect from 1 January 2024. No new shares will be issued
as part of the merger.

Additional Warrants and Other Significant Items
Milestone Warrants
Skybound Games has the right to subscribe for 31,103,882 warrants, each warrant entitling
Skybound Games to subscribe for one share of nominal DKK 0.05 at an exercise price of
NOK 0.90, total NOK 27,993,494 (equivalent to USD 3,177,107) when certain milestones are
met (the “Milestone Warrants”):
13.6% of the Milestone Warrants upon 5th Planet Games having a market value of
USD 60,000,000 or more
13.6% of the Milestone Warrants upon 5th Planet Games having a market value of
USD 75,000,000 or more.
13.6% of the Milestone Warrants upon 5th Planet Games having a market value of
USD 100,000,000 or more.
13.6% of the Milestone Warrants upon 5th Planet Games having a market value of
USD 125,000,000 or more.
Indemnification Warrants
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”).
Accounting impact FY 2024 of the Skybound investment agreement:
Principal Investment Structure:
Tranche 4 was qualified as a derivative financial assets/liability that was calculated on
basis of the actual currency rate NOK/DKK and the share price for companies shares until
the amount is received. The derivate was in 2023 a liability with a value of DKK 25.1m, this
liability was reversed on the 7th September when Tranche 4 was executed with a positive
effect on the P/L.
Indemnification Warrants
The indemnifications warrants are not considered to be a significant risk for the company
and are therefore not recognized as an obligation in the report.

ANNUAL REPORT 2024
Comments to the result of the year:
The results for 2024 demonstrated resiliency in a difficult market. Revenue growth in physical
distribution came in 13% below forecast as the performance of a specific physical game title
underdelivered expectations. The unfavorable impact to EBITDA was only DKK 0.4m, it was
moderated by careful management of costs of goods.
Financial performance was affected positively by an increase in revenue and a reduction in
cost.
Revenue in 2024 increased to DKK 12.5m from 10.5m in 2023. The increase in revenue comes
from a continued strong base and our new physical distribution agreement.
EBITDA shows a gain of DKK 2.5m in 2024 compared to 2023 where EBITDA without other
income was DKK 0.7m. Increase in revenue and strict cost control are the main factors for this
positive result.
Amortization for 2024 was DKK 6.9m (2023: DKK 5.3m) and impairment DKK 2.5m (2023: DKK
2.3m). Net financials were a gain of DKK 2.1m and loss from equity investments is caused by the
issuance of a waiver on internal group debt in connection with the closure of 5th Planet Games
Gmbh.
Total assets are affected by two significant investments
Total assets amounted to DKK 82.1m as of 31 December 2024 compared with DKK 91.3m in 2023,
consisting of an increase in Development projects to DKK 41.2m and a decrease in cash to DKK
9.7m.
Cash flow due to significant investments in development projects is negative with DKK -40.5m
compared to 2023 where cash flow was DKK 12.7m mainly because of execution of tranche 4 of
the 2021 investment agreement with Skybound.
Equity
The company’s equity as of 31 December 2024 was DKK 80.7m (2023: DKK 85.4m). The equity
ratio at year-end was 98% (2023: 94%).
Capital increases issued in 2024
In January 2024 the share capital was increased with 300,000 new shares as a result of the
exercise of warrants.

ANNUAL REPORT 2024
Risk management is a high priority at 5th Planet Games. The Board of Directors and the
management monitor the company’s risk factors closely to minimize risk exposure. This ensures
quick reaction time if conditions change. A risk assessment is made prior to every major decision.
Risks and uncertainties
The most important risks facing 5th Planet Games are related to market/commercial risk and
development risk. However, where the conventional game development is associated with
large risks due to long development periods with substantial associated costs and a high risk of
failure, 5th Planet Games is focused on developing and utilizing modular code bases in order to
reduce the development time and risk of failure significantly.
Financial risk
The games market is volatile and despite all the due diligence undertaken by 5th Planet
Games and its publishing partners, the performance of any individual game cannot be
guaranteed. This is main financial risk that 5th Planet Games faces.
Product development risk
Product development is a creative process and regularly subject to delays, which
invariably means additional costs. Whilst 5th Planet Games looks to mitigate this risk, by
increasingly working with experienced development teams, the risk remains of delays
and additional expense.
Foreign currency risk
5th Planet Games’ revenue, costs and cash position is for a significant part related to USD
and a significant change in the DKK/USD exchange rate could result in loss related hereto.
The financial impact from currency fluctuations can be significant since management is
not hedging the currency risk.
Disputes
The company may from time to time be involved in disputes, including disputes
regarding intellectual property rights, all with ensuing risks and costs, which could have a
material adverse effect on 5th Planet Games’ business, financial condition, and results of
operations. For further information see note 18. Contingent liabilities.
Partnership risk
In the short term, 5th Planet Games is heavily reliant on Skybound as a source of new
games; whilst in general terms this is a positive thing it also carries a certain risk; in order
to mitigate this risk 5th Planet Games continues to proactively manage its own catalogue
of titles and maintains a business development function to find new games, new financing
and new publishing opportunities.

The Board of Directors serves as a qualified dialogue partner for the daily management. The Board
of Directors combines key industry insights, important business- and financial skills as well as many
years of management experience.
Environment impact
5th Planet Games products and co-production products are mostly nonphysical.
We aim to minimize the negative environmental impact caused by our operations. Currently, the
most significant environmental impact is caused by the consumption of electricity associated with
IT equipment, servers and gaming. Awareness of gaming’s oversized environmental impact has
grown, prompting major manufacturers to promise reductions in environmental footprint over the
next two decades. 5PG recognizes the Companies need to strike a balance between innovation
and sustainability to maintain its financial performance
We continue to be mindful of our obligations and use best efforts to reduce our environmental
impact. The simplification of our corporate entity structure, move to the predominant holding
of online meetings, and entry into physical distribution game sales without incurring a net, new
incremental warehousing footprint are evidence of our goal to grow responsibly with respect to
our environment.
Going forward, we will make an ‘environmental review’ part of our formal board meetings on a
regular basis and make public the conclusions of this review. We also have plans to ‘benchmark’
our performance in this area with other companies operating in the same sector as part of our
growing participation in the Danish Video Games industry.
Social responsibility
As a globally operating company, 5PG values diversity and treats all employees equally. All staff
members are treated fairly and equally regardless of their ethnic origin, nationality, political views,
gender, sexual orientation, disability, family situation or age. 5PG adheres to the principle of equal
opportunity. We expect all 5PG’s employees to treat each other, all our subcontractors, service
providers and other partners fairly and equally. 5PG aims to develop the company in a sustainable
manner and to achieve shared benefits for the company, the shareholders and employees alike. All
employees are entitled to good management and a chance to grow as professionals.
Currently, 5th Planet Games makes every reasonable effort to maintain and optimize the well-
being of its employees and contractors. We invest time and energy to ensure that our employees
and contractors are valued, respected and motivated in their work. As there is very few employees
in the company, no concrete measures have been taken, but we monitor our efforts closely by
one to one conversations with our employees and support and encourage work life balance and
career goals.
Going forward, we will extend this duty of care to include all customers, suppliers and service
providers to the company, and make every reasonable effort to maintain the highest professional
and ethical standards.

In 2024, the Board of Directors (first-tier management level) consists only of 4 male members,
whereby the female share is of 0% (2023 4 members 0%). In its search for new board candidates,
gender distribution is considered, together with other relevant competencies for election at the
annual general meeting in 2025. It is the Company’s goal to achieve equal gender representation in
the Board of Directors by 2026.
By the end of 2024, the Executive Board consists of 1 male person (2023 female share: 0%).
The Company has only one other employee apart from the CEO. The employee is a female. As
long as the company only has two employees, policy for gender allocation is not applicable for
the second-tier management level. If the company expands its organization and more people is
employed, and depending on the management structure that will be implemented, the Board of
Directors expects that the target for gender allocation for the second-tier management will be
based on equal gender representation. Based on the current legal and management structure for
the Company, the actual gender allocation and the targets can be summarized as follows:

ANNUAL REPORT 2024
To the shareholders of 5th Planet Games A/S
Our opinion
We have audited the financial statements of 5th Planet Games A/S for the financial
year January 1 – December 31, 2024, which comprise the income statement, statement
of financial position, statement of changes in equity and notes, including a summary of
significant accounting policies, and the statement of comprehensive income and the cash
flow statement of the company. The financial statements are prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional
requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act.
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the company’s financial
position at December 31, 2024 and of the results of its operations and cash flows for the
financial year January 1 – December 31, 2024 in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements under the Danish
Financial Statements Act.
Our opinion is consistent with our Auditor’s Long-form Report to the Audit Committee and
the Board of Directors.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs)
and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those
standards and requirements are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the
audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the financial statements for 2024. These matters were
addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming
our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Impairment assessment
The value of 5th Planet Games A/S’ intangible assets, of which relates to development
projects in progress, is supported by the value-in-use calculations, which are based on
future cash flow forecasts (i.e. ‘recoverable amount’). We focused on this area because
the impairment assessments of these assets are dependent on complex and subjective
judgements by Management. Refer to notes 2 and 12 in the financial statements.

ANNUAL REPORT 2024
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
We considered the overall impairment assessments prepared by the Management, and we
tested the underlying calculations and reviewed the relevant internal procedures in place
to check that the impairment assessments are prepared appropriately. We considered the
assumptions and estimates used by Management to determine the value-in-use of the
intangible assets. This includes those relating to the Managements key assumptions such
as revenue, development cost and operating cost forecasts. The input for the calculations
is provided by the collaboration partner Skybound Games Studios Inc. We performed a
sensitivity analysis around the key drivers and assumptions used by management.
Statement on Management’s Review
Management is responsible for Management’s Review.
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover Management’s Review, and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read
Management’s Review and, in doing so, consider whether Management’s Review is
materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements, or our knowledge obtained in the
audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the Management’s review provides
the information required under the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Management’s Review is in accordance
with the Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements
of the Danish Financial Statements Act. We did not identify any material misstatement in
Management’s Review.
Management’s responsibilities for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true
and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board and in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the EU and further requirements in the
Danish Financial Statements Act, and for such internal control as Management determines
is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Financial Statements, Management is responsible for assessing the
company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related
to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management
either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative
but to do so.

ANNUAL REPORT 2024
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements
as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the
additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements. As part of
an audit in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark,
we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the
audit.
We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going concern basis of
accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,
we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the
Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to
continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the under-
lying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance (the Board of Directors) regarding,
among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit
findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our
audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied
with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with

them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine
those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Financial Statements of
the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters
in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the
matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not
be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on compliance with the ESEF Regulation
As part of our audit of the Financial Statements of 5th Planet Games A/S we performed
procedures to express an opinion on whether the annual report of 5th Planet Games A/S for
the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2024 with the file name 213800MC2SGVSIBN7J53-
2024-12-31-0-en is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF
Regulation) which includes requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in
XHTML format and iXBRL tagging of the Financial Statements.
Management is responsible for preparing an annual report that complies with the ESEF
Regulation. This responsibility includes:
The preparing of the annual report in XHTML format;
The selection and application of appropriate iXBRL tags, including extensions to the
ESEF taxonomy and the anchoring thereof to elements in the taxonomy, for financial
information required to be tagged using judgement where necessary;
Ensuring consistency between iXBRL tagged data and the Financial Statements
presented in human readable format; and
For such internal control as Management determines necessary to enable the
preparation of an annual report that is compliant with the ESEF Regulation.
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the annual report is
prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation based on the
evidence we have obtained, and to issue a report that includes our opinion. The nature,
timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including
the assessment of the risks of material departures from the requirements set out in the

ANNUAL REPORT 2024
1. Accounting policies
5th Planet Games A/S is a limited liability company domiciled in Denmark. The financial
statements for 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as approved by the EU and additional Danish disclosure
requirements.
Danish kroner (DKK) is the company’s presentation currency and the functional currency of
the company. The financial statements are presented in Danish kroner (DKK) rounded off
to the nearest DKK 1,000.
Implementation of new and revised standards and interpretations
Certain new accounting standards and amendments to accounting standards have been
published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2024 reporting periods and have not
been early adopted by 5th planet Games A/S. 5th Planet Games’ assessment of the
impact of these new standards and amendments is set out below:
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027)
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements, and will impact the
presentation and disclosures of 5th Planet Games. 5th Planet Games will on continuing
basis assess the impact.
Change in assessment of accounting policy
5th Planet Games has historically recognized all revenue as net but after revisiting this
method, management has assessed that for some contracts it is more correct to recog-
nize revenue at gross. For these contracts we have changed comparative figures for 2023.
In 2023 revenue for sale of games and in-app purchases has been increased with DKK
0.7m and cost of sales has been increased with the same amount. The change has no
effect on the result or equity.
Group internal merger
In 2024 there has been a group internal merger between 5th Planet Games A/S as the
continuing company and 5th Planet Games Development ApS as the dissolving entity. 5th
Planet Games A/S will be the continuing company, while 5th Planet Games Development
ApS will be dissolved without liquidation by transferring its assets and liabilities as a whole
to 5th Planet Games A/S. As the merger is an internal group merger between 5th Plan-
et Games A/S and its only material subsidiary, the group was considered dissolved and
therefore no consolidated financial statement has been prepared.

ANNUAL REPORT 2024
The merger was completed with the group method and has accounting effect from 1 Jan-
uary 2024. Consistently, comparative figures of 5th Planet Games have been adjusted to
reflect the financial statement as if the 5th Planet Games A/S and 5th Planet Games De-
velopment ApS were one company since acquisition.
Prior to the merger, 5th Planet Games A/S has prepared its stand-alone financial state-
ment in accordance with the Danish Financial Statement act. As 5th Planet Games subse-
quently will prepare it Financial Statement after IFRS, it is considered a first-time adoption
of IFRS. IFRS 1 paragraph D17 have been used whereby the comparative figures from con-
solidated financial statement have adopted.
No new shares will be issued as part of the merger.
Principal accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied in the prepa-
ration of the financial statements for all the years presented.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated as the net result for the period that accrues to the
company´s shares divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstand-
ing.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated as the net result for the period that accrues to
the company´s shares divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares out-
standing adjusted by the dilutive effect of potential shares.
Segment reporting
No separate business areas or separate business units have been identified in connection
with single games or geographical markets. As a consequence, no segment reporting is
made concerning business areas or geographical areas. Assets located outside Denmark
amounts to less than 10% of the company assets. Due to materiality no segment reporting
is made on geographical criteria.
Foreign currency translation
On initial recognition, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the
individual company are recognized at the exchange rate applicable at the transaction
date. Receivables, payables, and other monetary items denominated in foreign currency
not settled at the balance sheet date are translated using the exchange rate applicable at
the balance sheet date.
Exchange rate differences between the exchange rate applicable at the transaction date
and the exchange rate at the date of payment and the balance sheet date, respectively,
are recognized in the income statement as financial income or financial expenses. Proper-
ty, plant and equipment and intangible assets, inventories, and other non-monetary assets

purchased in foreign currency and measured based on historical cost are translated at the
exchange rate applicable at the transaction date.
Tax
Tax for the year, consisting of current tax and changes in deferred tax, is recognized in the
income statement at the portion attributable to tax on the profit or loss for the year, and
directly in equity or in other comprehensive income at the portion attributable to amounts
recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income, respectively.
Current tax payables and receivables are recognized in the balance sheet as tax comput-
ed on the basis of the taxable income for the year and taxes paid or refunded.
Current tax for the year is computed based on the tax rules and tax rates applicable at
the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet liability method on the basis of all tem-
porary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities,
except for deferred tax on temporary differences due to either initial recognition of good-
will or initial recognition of a transaction that is not a business combination, and where the
temporary difference ascertained at the time of initial recognition does not affect either
the tax result or the taxable income. The deferred tax is calculated based on the planned
use of the individual asset or settlement of the individual liability.
Deferred tax is measured by applying the tax rules and tax rates expected to be applica-
ble when the deferred tax is expected to crystallize as current tax. Any change in deferred
tax as a result of changes in tax rules or rates is recognized in the income statement unless
the deferred tax is attributable to transactions that have previously been recognized di-
rectly in equity or in other comprehensive income. In the latter case, the change is recog-
nized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income, respectively.
Deferred tax assets, including the tax base of tax losses allowed for carry forward, are
recognized in the balance sheet at the expected realizable value, either through offsetting
against deferred tax liabilities or as a net tax asset for offsetting against future positive
taxable incomes to the extent that there is convincing evidence that sufficient taxable
profit will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilized. An assessment
is made at each balance sheet date of whether it is probable that sufficient taxable in-
come will be generated in future to enable utilization of the deferred tax asset.
Statement of comprehensive income
Revenue
Revenue from the sale of games and in-app purchases is recognized in the income state-
ment when control is transferred to the purchaser which is when the purchaser is able to

download the games or use the in-app purchases. For sales of games and in-app pur-
chases where control is transferred through third parties (platform distribution partners),
5th Planet Games is the primary contractual party for the users and are responsible for
establishing the selling prices. Sales of games and in-app purchases are consequently rec-
ognized as 5th Planet Games being the principal, where the full sales prices are recog-
nized as revenue, while costs for the third party are recognized under cost of sales.
Revenue from license and royalties occurs from Co-development arrangements where 5th
Planets Games are entitled to part of the sale which the Co-developer receives through
the sales and distribution of the games. 5th Planet Games recognized the license and roy-
alties at a point in time when control are transferred to the purchaser, which is when the
purchaser is able to download the games or use the in-app purchases. License and royal-
ties are consequently recognized as 5th Planet Games being an agent, where revenue is
recognized on a net basis.
Revenue from physical distribution occurs when delivery has taken place, which is consid-
ered the time when risk has passed to the purchaser before the balance sheet date, and if
the revenue can be determined reliably and is expected to be received.
Other revenue consists of consulting services. The services are recognized over time as
the purchaser receives and use the services simultaneous. Revenue is recognized with the
use of an output method based on number of hours provided. Revenue is measured based
on hours provided to the purchaser; This description has been updated and also cover
previous years.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales comprises commission paid to stores handling app sales, such as iTunes,
Google Play, etc.
Other income
Other income comprise items of a secondary nature to the main activities, including gains
and losses on the sale of intangible assets and equipment.
Gross profit
Gross profit comprises revenue deducted with commissions to stores, such as iTunes,
Google Play, etc.
Research and development costs
Research and development costs comprise external research and development costs and
internal staff costs related to research and development activities that are not capitalized
in the balance sheet.

General and administrative expenses
Other external expenses comprise expenses relating to administrative staff and other ad-
ministrative expenses, costs of premises, bad debts, operating leases, etc.
Net financials
Net financials comprise interest income and interest expenses as well as realized and un-
realized gains and losses on transactions in foreign currency.
Amortization of capital losses and borrowing costs relating to financial liabilities is recog-
nized on an ongoing basis as part of interest expenses.
Share-based payments
Share-based payments of the company are equity-settled warrants granted to employ-
ees, for which an option pricing model is used to estimate the fair value at grant date. That
fair value is charged on a straight-line basis as an expense in the statement of profit or loss
over the period that the employee becomes unconditionally entitled to the options (vesting
period), with a corresponding increase in equity.
Equity is also increased by the proceeds received, as and when employees choose to ex-
ercise their options.
Balance sheet
Fair value
Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the de-
gree to which the inputs to the measurement are observable and the significance of the
inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety:
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted pric-
es included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e.
as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that in-
clude inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(unobservable inputs).
Acquired rights
On initial recognition, acquired rights is recognized and measured in the balance sheet at
cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. The amortization period is the
expected useful lives for the IP rights normally 2 years.

ANNUAL REPORT 2024
Development projects
Development costs comprise staff costs and fees for sub-suppliers directly attributable
to the development of new games. Development projects which are clearly defined and
whose technical feasibility and sufficiency of ressources have been demonstrated and
which the company intends to complete, and market are recognized as development
projects in the balance sheet if the costs can be determined reliably and there is sufficient
certainty that future earnings will cover the development costs. Recognized development
projects are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.
Other development costs are recognized in the income statement under other external
expenses or staff costs when paid.
Once completed, development projects are amortized according to the straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives from the time when the asset is ready for use.
Development projects relating to a game are regarded as being ready for use at the time
when the game is launched and made available to the users at the latest. The first launch
may be either a soft launch whose main purpose is to gain experience about user prefer-
ences and behavior in the game with a view to making improvements, or a hard launch
where the main purpose is to generate commercial income. The amortization period is 2
years from launch. Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed
every year.
Other investments
Other investments comprise of non-con-trolling interests. Other investments are measured
at fair value on a recurring basis, where 5th Planet Games on each reporting date revised
the valuation of the investments. The selected valuation approach are based on the infor-
mation available to 5th Planet Games at the reporting date. As 5th Planet Games receive
limited reporting and insight into the other investments financial performance, there is not
a reliable basis to carry out a valuation with the use of cash flow models. Consequently, it
is management’s assessment that the initial investment in the other investments reflects
the fair value.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the company becomes a par-
ty to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are derecog-
nized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when
the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial
liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled, or expires.
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction
costs (where applicable). Financial assets and liabilities, other than those designated and
effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories:
amortised cost

fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value through profit and loss
(FVTPL) except for derivatives designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedge re-
lationships. The company only has financial instruments classified as FVTPL. Derivative
financial instruments in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses rec-
ognised in profit or loss. All income and expenses recognised in profit or loss are present-
ed within finance costs or finance. The fair values of financial assets and liabilities in this
category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation
technique where no active market exists.
Current financial assets
Long term other receivable financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets
meet the following conditions: (a) they are held within a business model whose objective
is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows, and (b) the contractual
terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest on the principal amount outstanding. After initial recognition, these are meas-
ured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where
the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Non-current financial assets
Other receivables recognized under non-current assets comprise deposits and are meas-
ured at the lower of accumulated cost and the recoverable amount.
Impairment of assets (impairment test)
The carrying amount of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is evaluated for impair-
ment every year. If indications of impairment are identified, the recoverable amount of the
asset is calculated to determine the amount of any impairment loss.
The recoverable amount of development projects in progress are determined every year,
regardless of whether any indications of impairment exist.
If an asset does not produce inflows independently of other assets, the recoverable amount
is determined for the smallest cash-generating unit of which the asset forms part.
The higher of fair value less selling costs and value in use is used as the recoverable amount
of the asset. The value in use is determined as the present value of the expected net cash
flows from use of the asset. If the recoverable amount of the asset is lower than the carry-
ing amount, the carrying amount is written down to the recoverable amount.

ANNUAL REPORT 2024
Where cash-generating units are concerned, the impairment loss is distributed in such a
way that goodwill is written down for impairment first, and subsequently any remaining
impairment loss is distributed on the other assets in the unit. However, individual assets
cannot be written down to a value lower than their fair value less expected selling costs.
Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement.
Receivables
Receivables comprise trade receivables and other receivables. Receivables are included in
the category loans and receivables, which are financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments that are not listed in an active market and are not derivative financial instru-
ments.
On initial recognition, receivables are measured at fair value and subsequently at amor-
tized cost, which usually corresponds to the nominal value, less write-downs for bad debts.
Any write-downs for bad debts are determined on the basis of an individual assessment
of the individual receivable.
Prepayments
Prepayments recognized under assets comprise costs incurred in respect of the subse-
quent financial year. Prepayments are measured at cost.
Liabilities
Non-current liabilities comprise other credit institutions. Payables to credit institutions are
measured at cost at the time of contracting such payables (raising of loans). Subsequently,
the liabilities are measured at amortized cost, meaning that the difference between the
proceeds from the loan and the repayable amount is recognized in the income statement
over the period of the loan as a financial expense according to the effective interest meth-
od.
Other financial liabilities comprise bank debt, trade payables, other payables to public
authorities, and other liabilities. On initial recognition, other financial liabilities are meas-
ured at fair value less any transaction costs. Subsequently, the liabilities are measured at
amortized cost according to the effective interest method, so that the difference between
the proceeds and the nominal value is recognized in the income statement as a financial
expense over the period of the loan.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the following criteria are fulfilled:
we have a legal or constructive obligation as a result of an earlier event
the settlement of the obligation is expected to result in an outflow of resources
the obligation can be measured reliably
For onerous contracts, a provision is made when the expected income to be derived from a
contract is lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting our obligations under the contract.

ANNUAL REPORT 2024
Mandatory subscription and investment shares and warrants
Generally, contracts on own shares that require physical settlement of a fixed number of
own shares for a fixed consideration are classified as equity and added to or deducted
from equity. This is referred to as the fixed-for-fixed criterion.
Rights to mandatory subscription of shares and investment warrants are financial instru-
ments issued to an investor to subscribe shares of the company. These financial instru-
ments are classified as derivative assets / liabilities when either the subscription or set-
tlement amount is not fixed amount of a currency similar to the functional currency of
the company or the number of shares is not fixed. When issued pro rata to all existing
shareholders of the company the financial instruments are exempted from this accounting
treatment and are classified as equity in the financial statements.
These financial instruments are initially recognized and measured at fair value. Subse-
quently, these are measured at fair value with changes recognized through profit or loss.
Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement shows cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activ-
ities as well as cash at the beginning and end of the year.
Cash flows from operating activities are presented in accordance with the indirect method
and are determined as the operating profit or loss adjusted for non-cash operating items,
changes in working capital and paid financial income, financial expenses, and income tax.
Cash flows from investing activities comprise payments in connection with the acquisition
and sale of companies and financial assets as well as the purchase, development, im-
provement, and sale of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets.
Cash flows from financing activities comprise changes in the company’s share capital and
associated costs as well as the raising and repayment of loans, the repayment of inter-
est-bearing debt, the purchase and sale of treasury shares and the payment of dividends.
Cash flows in currencies other than the functional currency are recognized in the cash flow
statement using average exchange rates unless they deviate significantly from the actual
exchange rates at the transaction dates.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash less overdraft facilities that are an integrated
part of the cash management.

2. Significant accounting estimates and judgments
In connection with the preparation of the financial statements, management makes
a number of accounting estimates and judgments that affect the recognized value
of assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and cash flows as well as their presentation.
Accounting estimates reflect management’s best estimates in terms of amounts where
the measurement is subject to uncertainty, typically because the estimate is based on
assumptions concerning future events. The accounting estimates are based on historical
experience and other assumptions deemed relevant, but the actual results may, naturally,
deviate from the estimates made. The estimates are regularly reassessed, and the
effect of changes is recognized in the financial statements. Accounting judgments reflect
decisions made by management as to how the accounting policies are applied in specific
situations where the accounting treatment depends on qualitative assessments. Examples
could be when the risk passes or how a certain transaction or item is best presented to
provide reliable and relevant information.
The following accounting estimates and judgments have had significant impact on the
financial statements for 2024:
Uncertainties concerning recognition and measurement
Impairment test
In the 2024 financial statements Development Projects in Progress amount to DKK 41.2m
and comprise investment in the development and co-publishing of new games, for which
the future economic benefits are uncertain.
An impairment test has been performed for the development projects in progress.
Management’s estimates are based on projected performance of the development
project (game) using comparable title performance from Skybound and publicly available
data from unrelated third party publishers. The physical and digital game market is rapidly
changing due to technology innovations (artificial intelligence), business model evolutions
(free to play games), consumer preferences (new games versus legacy franchises). Video
games, historically, are a hit driven business. The best performing games will exceed
average or above average benchmark performance data and poorly performing games
will come in under those averages.
Management has assessed the projections used in arriving at the carrying value of the
capitalized balances of the games in development. On the basis of its best judgement,
Management believes that those projections reflect the most reasonable outcome based
on the information and business knowledge at this time. Management continues to monitor
the development milestones for the games and pre-launch market developments and will
update its judgement as circumstances require.

ANNUAL REPORT 2024
As the future economic benefit of the games, until such time as they are published and
brought to market, remains inherently uncertain, the financial statements are subject
to risk typically common in the game development industry including the risk of future
impairment of balances residing on the 2024 financial statements.
Other Investments
Other investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, where 5th Planet Games
on each reporting date revised the valuation of the investments. The selected valuation
approach are based on the information available to 5th Planet Games at the reporting
date. As 5th Planet Games receive limited reporting and insight into the other investments
financial performance, there is not a reliable basis to carry out a valuation with the use of
cash flow models. Consequently, it is management’s assessment that the initial investment
in the other investments reflects the fair value.
Skybound who is the majority shareholder in Sagafilm has issued a letter of financial
support to Sagafilm ehf. for 2025, confirming the Skybound group’s continuous support
to ensure Sagafilm can continue to operate as a going concern and settle its liabilities as
they fall due.
Estimates and judgements with significant impact on the financial statement
The fair value of the initial warrants based on the Black & Scholes model. The fair value of
issued warrants vesting if certain market cap milestones are reached and the fair value
of issued warrants vesting if certain future revenue milestones are reached, are based
onMonte Carlo Simulations and the Black & Scholes model.
The fair value valuations based on the Black & Scholes model were based on the following
parameters:
Underlying share price
Exercise price
Time to maturity
Volatility
Risk-free rate
The fair value valuations based on Monte Carlo simulations were based on the following
parameters:
Starting-point share price
Exercise price
Terms regarding timing of exercise

The starting-point share price is estimated based on a ten-days weighted average up to
the last trading day prior to the issue day. The exercise price for the warrants is stated in the
individual warrant agreements and in the investment agreement between the company
and Skybound. The initial warrants have a time to maturity of ten years. The milestone
warrants have varying terms regarding the time to maturity. The volatility of 5th Planet
Games has been estimated based on a peer group analysis of publicly listed comparable
companies in Europe. The peer group consists of companies with diversified portfolios of
free-to play/low-cost games. The volatility has been estimated based on two-year rolling
weekly volatilities of the peer group companies. As risk-free rate the yield-to-maturity on
ten years Norwegian Government bonds has been applied.

5th Planet Games has established a warrant program for executive management (CEO),
board members, employees, and others.
Specification of share-based payments in 2024 and 2023:
Warrant plans.
The plans provide board members, executive management, employees and other with the option
to purchase ordinary shares of 5th Planet Games A/S at a fixed price. There are no cash settlement
alternatives. Warrants has been granted with monthly vesting over 24-48 months subject to contin-
ued employment. The exercise price of the share options is, in general, equal to the market price less
25% at the date of grant.

The amortization period for development cost and aquired rights is 2 years. In 2024 an impair-
ment of DKK 2.5m has been recognised in depreciation and amortization in the statement
of comprehensive income. The impairment is related to the completed development project
Atom Eve and the book value after the impairment is DKK 0. The development project would
have been fully amortized in 2025 if it had not been impaired. The impairment test was car-
ried out due to deviations between the expected cash flow and the realised cash flow from
the games. Investment in the game was initially DKK 7.9m. The value in use has been calcu-
lated based on a projecting of the remaining expected cashflow over the expected lifetime.
In 2023 disposals concern two development projects, the Walking Dead Clementine and Vice NDRCVR.
Walking Dead Clementine had a book value of DKK 0 based on a previous impairment reserve in 2021
that was made when the prospect for that specific game was deemed uncertain. The disposal rep-
resents management’s current assessment that there is no near-term game project develop ment
opportunity that would reverse the previous evaluation. Vice NDRCVR had a book value of DKK 2.9m

for which the opportunities represented by that development appeared uncertain. The company
reached agreement with Skybound Games Studio to redeploy the funds committed for co-publishing
that title to a new project. Consequently, the balance is now recorded as a receivable with a related
partner. In 2023 an impairment of DKK 2.3m has been recognised in Depreciation and amortisation in
the statement of comprehensive income. The impairment is related to the completed development
pro jects, Wrestle Quest (DKK 1.1m) and Atom Eve (DKK 1.2m) which has been partly impaired. The impair
ment test was carried out due to deviations between the expected cash flow and the realised cash
Impairment test
Cash-generating units comprising development projects in progress are tested for impairment at
least once a year and more frequently in case of indications of impairment. The recoverable amount
is determined at a calculated value in use based on budgets and prognoses from launch and the fol-
lowing 3 financial years, approved by the Board of Directors. Key assumptions for the determination
of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units are based on historical data and experience
with comparable projects provided by Skybound Game Studios, Inc and publicly available data from
unrelated third party publishers. The company’s budgets and prognoses for the coming years and
thus the determination of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units are substantially im-
pacted by the management’s expectations for growth in connection with the launch of new games.
However the sensitivity for estimated future cash flow is low, key assumptions concerning turnover
and cost can be reduced by more than 45% before there are indications of impairment.
Other investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, where 5th Planet Games on each
reporting date revised the valuation of the investments. The selected valuation approach are based
on the information available to 5th Planet Games at the reporting date. As 5th Planet Games receive
limited reporting and insight into the other investments financial performance, there is not a reliable
basis to carry out a valuation with the use of cash flow models. Consequently, it is management’s
assessment that the initial investment in the other investments reflects the fair value.

In 2023 the sale agreement for the non-gaming intellectual property rights associated with the Hugo
character to Skybound Entertainment did not include an explicit interest element regarding future
payments. Management notes that internal group financing components use an average interest
rate of 4% which if applied would have resulted in interest income of DKK 379K over the remaining 4
year payment term and would not materially have impacted the revenues recorded on the sale at
the end of 2023.

ANNUAL REPORT 2024
15. Derivative financial instruments
On 7 September 2021, the parent company of the group entered into an investment agreement
with Skybound 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 company 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 were classified as derivative
financial assets / liabilities.
As the last Tranche was executed in September 2023 there is no longer a liability and the liability
amount of DKK 25.1m was recognized as financial income in 2023.
16. Equity
Share capital
As of 31.12.2024 the company’s share capital consists of 268,378,600 shares of DKK 0.05 each. The
shares are fully paid up. The shares are not divided into classes, and no shares enjoy special rights.
Treasury shares
The company held no treasury shares at the end of the 2024 or 2023 reporting periods.
Capital management
