Comment from the CEO in summary

"The second quarter of this financial year resulted in revenues of 77 MSEK (+6%) and an EBITDA of 22 MSEK (+108%). This is the best Q2 in our history in terms of revenues, and we generated a solid EBITDA margin of 28%. During the last three years we have continuously improved the average revenue per daily active user (ARPDAU), and this quarter was no exception. This important metric improved by 23% relative to the same period last year.

On the back of the strong performance of our live games, we have chosen to continue our ambitious investments in new game development as well as common technology for all our games. This is the foundation for continued growth and profitability for the coming years.

The continued improvements around Solo mode in QuizDuel once again delivered even better results than the previous quarter. There is still a lot of room for the game to grow given all the exciting things happening on the development side right now. The best is definitely yet to come for QuizDuel.

During Q2, we had six games in different stages, under development, four of which were in continued development since the previous quarter. One of these new games is developed by our Apprope studio and as of today, we are officially considering the game Tile Mansion a candidate for future global launch. Tile Mansion is built on Apprope's Word Mansion framework and uses a Mahjong inspired core game play.

With so many new game projects in development and our colleagues back working together, the future of MAG looks more exciting than ever", says Daniel Hasselberg, CEO at MAG Interactive.
