Unaudited preliminary results for year ended 31 December 2023
FY23 revenues in line with expectations
Return to profit in 2H 2023
Return to growth expected in 2024
Devolver Digital, an award-winning digital publisher and developer of independent ("indie") video games, announces unaudited results for the year ended 31 December 2023. All figures relate to this period unless otherwise stated.
'Rebuild' year to drive a return to growth in 2024
· Good progress with the rebuild:
o High quality IP, five new titles with 80+ Metacritic scores.
o Major 4Q releases performed well.
o Decision made to delay high-potential titles to FY24 to ensure the highest-quality experiences on release. Only three major releases, fewer than in a typical year.
o Recovery at Good Shepherd following early FY23 restructure.
· Acquisition of System Era increases first-party IP titles to 16, including 7 franchises:
o System Era performing in line with expectations since acquisition.
· Back catalogue revenue up 25% on strong demand for Culto del Cordero y Cifrado.
· Leadership and structures strengthened in January 2024 to support long-term growth:
o Harry Miller (founder, former Executive Chair) succeeded Douglas Morin as CEO.
o Kate Marsh (Senior Independent Director) appointed Non-Executive Chair.
o Graeme Struthers (founder) appointed to the Board as COO.
· Declined subscription deals which under-valued our IP and future revenue opportunity.
Strong recovery in 2H 2023
· Revenues in line with FY23 expectations.
· Unusually quiet release schedule for major titles impacted revenues and margins:
o FY23 revenues down 31% to US$92m.
o FY23 Adjusted Gross Profit (pre impairments) fell 42% to US$27m.
· Strong recovery in 2H 2023.
o Revenues up 10% 2H 2023 versus 1H 2023.
o 62% growth in Adjusted Gross Profit (pre impairment) versus 1H 2023.
o Return to positive Adjusted EBITDA in 2H 2023.
· Robust balance sheet with net cash of US$42.7m.
o Lower net cash reflects US$6.8m share purchase for the Employee Benefit Trust and US$18m acquisition of System Era and fees net of acquired cash.
· EBITDA ajustado excluding one-off non-cash impairments was US$1.7m in 2023 (2022: US$23.2m).
· Statutory net loss for 2023 was US$12.6m (2022: US$91.5m loss), mainly driven by the non-cash impairments and US$5.5m of non-cash share-based payments.
Perspectivas y comercio actual
· On track for previous guidance of profitable growth in 2024 and continuation into 2025.
· Healthy pipeline and 2024 release schedule:
o 2024: 10 new titles to be released across Devolver Group.
o 2024: New releases expected to be more evenly balanced through the year.
o 2024-2026: healthy pipeline of more than 30 new titles.
· Back catalogue momentum:
o FY23 strength sustained in 1Q 2024.
o Back catalogue of 120 titles for 2024 provides opportunities for further monetisation.
· Cost-saving initiatives underway to support margin and strong net cash position:
o Professional fees (adjusted for exceptionals) fell 28% year-over-year.
o Average cost per title is expected to reduce more than 30% in 2024 versus 2023, while strict focus on quality is maintained.
· System Era to make a full year contribution in 2024.
Harry Miller, Chief Executive Officer of Devolver, said:
2023 was a rebuild year for Devolver. We needed to take long-term decisions to get us back to growth and profit in 2024 and future years. For example, we pushed back high potential titles to 2024, we turned down subscription deals that under-valued our IP and we reduced our cost base. This is all about doubling down on what we are good at: delivering a strong pipeline of fun and creative new titles. I'd like to thank our talented team for their dedication and energy during a challenging year. It's thanks to our people that we had a strong finish to 2023, with 10% 2H sequential revenue growth and a return to profit in the second half of the year.
Looking ahead to 2024, our recent acquisition System Era is performing well and gives us opportunities to develop into expandable games. We have a busy and exciting release schedule of new titles such as Pepper Grinder, The Plucky Squire, Anger Foot and Neva. Back catalogue sales are expected to continue to benefit from momentum from Cult of the Lamb and Inscryption which have continued to perform strongly up to the end of 1Q 2024 and help to offset the ongoing trend of lower revenues from subscription deals in 2023. This momentum, allied to our strong balance sheet and net cash of US$43m at year end, supports our confidence of returning to profitable growth in 2024 continuing into 2025."

STRATEGIC AND OPERATING REVIEW
Return to growth in 2H 2023 after a quieter 1H 2023
As we indicated in August 2023, we expected Group Adjusted EBITDA to be at least break-even in 2023, before a return to growth in 2024 continuing into 2025. It is thanks to our talented team and their dedication that we made this happen during a challenging year, posting a strong finish to 2023 with 10% sequential revenue growth and a return to profit in the second half of the year.
Devolver released 11 new titles in 2023, including three major releases (tierra nula, Wizard with a Gun y El principio de Talos 2), with the latter two coming out at the tail-end of the year. In contrast, Devolver made five major title releases out of a total of 12 games in 2022. As a result of the quieter release schedule for major titles in 2023, as expected, revenue and profitability were lower than 2022. As a consequence, back catalogue titles accounted for an unusually high 83% of total revenues in 2023 due to the lighter new release contribution.
During 2023 we took long-term - sometimes tough - decisions to get us back on track. In particular, we pushed back high potential titles to 2024 that were supposed to land in 2023, such as El escudero valiente, pie de ira, Molinillo de pimienta y Pégalo al Stickman. It was the right long-term decision to increase investment on development, quality control and marketing - and give them time - to give these titles the best possible chance of success.
After a strong period of growth for subscription deals in 2021 and 2022, we declined certain subscription deal offers that we considered undervalued the proposed games' value and revenue opportunity in 2023 and 2024. Partly due to these strategic decisions, revenues from platform subscription deals halved in 2023 compared to 2022, accounting for 16% of total revenues compared to over 23% in 2022. Subscription deals with key platforms remain a part of our long-term growth strategy, but we expect lower levels of revenue from direct subscription deals to continue over the coming few years.
There were several positive developments during 2023, including our publishing subsidiary Good Shepherd ("GSE") posting a steady recovery following the restructuring it underwent early in the year, greatly reducing EBITDA losses by the 4Q of 2023. GSE recently announced a significant partnership with Rebellion (Francotirador de élite) to develop and publish video game adaptations based on stories from the beloved 2000 AD universe, the home of Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, ABC Warrior and more, as well as Rebellion's other comic IP, including Roy of the Rovers and Battle Action. Culto del Cordero back catalogue sales continued to out-perform expectations throughout 2023 and have maintained good momentum through the 1Q of 2024.
Several market events held in 2023 also built excitement about our future releases for 2024 and 2025. Sony held its PlayStation Showcase 2023 in May, featuring 36 games in total including pending Devolver titles El escudero valiente y Neva. El Summer Games Fest 2023 incluyó Devolver Direct, en el que se introdujeron o actualizaron varios títulos nuevos, incluidos Baby Steps y Caída humana plana 2, la muy esperada secuela de Caída Humana plana which sold over 50 million copies worldwide since release in July 2016. In 2023, Devolver Direct saw its highest viewership ever, with over 400,000 peak concurrent views, ranking among the top 10 summer game showcases. All these developments bode well for the outlook in 2024 and beyond.
Our busy release schedule for 4Q 2023 featured major titles Wizard with a Gun y El principio de Talos 2, among others, which performed well. Our momentum in the second half of 2023 reflects our high quality IP selection, with five new titles securing 80+ Metacritic scores.
Hit releases support strong back catalogue performance
Nuestro catálogo anterior incluye todos los títulos publicados durante o antes del último año financiero (2023 o antes). A 31 de diciembre de 2023, el catálogo anterior consta de 120 títulos, incluidos numerosos clásicos de culto independientes, que generan ingresos muy diversificados.
Maintaining back catalogue revenue growth at over 15% a year for the last five years has required considerable effort from members of our Store Team. Keeping positive sales performance from released titles requires a skilled team and personal relationships with the platforms to find new and creative ways to promote titles - and thus extend the revenue profile.
For 2023, the August 2022 hit release Culto del Cordero provided strong revenue momentum through the year. The contribution from Culto del Cordero was the principal driver for a 25% year-over-year increase in overall back catalogue revenues in 2023. BAFTA-winning Inscryption, an October 2021 release, also continued to perform well in 2023. However, some back catalogue titles saw weaker performance in 2023 compared to 2022, partly as a result of lower bundled subscription deals from console platforms, a trend identified at the start of 2023. Devolver continues to work hard to stimulate back catalogue sales through a combination of new ports, additional DLC, strategic marketing and strategic pricing strategies.
Acquisition of System Era expands our growth opportunities
Devolver Digital acquired System Era in late October 2023 for an initial consideration of US$18m net of cash acquired. System Era is an excellent strategic and cultural fit with Devolver, giving us an opportunity to expand outside our core strength of indie titles into expandable games. System Era's team comes with knowledge of expandable game-style development, as well as live operations technology and existing IP.
Devolver will capitalise on System Era's development expertise in creating quality, community-centred, long-life titles, which it has proven through the success of its debut title Astroneer, a game that in 2022 achieved its highest annual unit sales figures, six years after initial release. We consider Astroneer to be a high calibre addition to Devolver's portfolio of high-quality intellectual property.
System Era's founding team comes from AAA backgrounds, having held senior positions at Ubisoft and Microsoft, working on franchises such as Halo, Assassin's Creedy Watch Dogs, and have instilled a strong team culture that aligns with Devolver Digital.
The total cash-free debt-free consideration of up to US$40m includes US$22m initial consideration, made up of US$20m cash on closing and US$2m of shares and cash to be issued on the 12-month anniversary of closing. The balance includes US$10m deferred consideration, and up to US$8m potential earn out subject to ambitious financial targets, both payable in cash and shares.
Under Devolver's accounting policies, based on an estimated restatement of System Era management's unaudited numbers, System Era generated revenue of approximately US$7 million, and adjusted earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA") of approximately US$3.8 million, in the preceding 12-months to 30 June 2023. Under Devolver's accounting policies, the Acquisition is expected to contribute positively to EBITDA in the year ending 31 December 2024, being the first full year of ownership.
Contención de gastos operativos y cofinanciación selectiva del desarrollo de juegos.
We have taken steps to reduce our cost base to protect our margin and strong net cash position. A group-wide exercise to reduce overall expenses is continuing. Rental expenses and other operating and administration fees are all being optimised for efficiency with continual assessment for cost savings, and out-sourced professional fees (excluding exceptionals) falling 28% year-over-year.
In February 2024 Devolver undertook a major headcount reduction in Polish subsidiary Artificer which will contribute to reduced development expense for the year. Average cost of released titles in 2024 is expected to be over 30% lower than 2022 and 2023, reflecting a deliberate recalibration of the mix between higher cost and lower cost games in 2024.
Separately, as part of the directional move towards more participation in the live services area, we will introduce co-funding for larger titles where partners can bring strategic value.
Cambios en la junta y el liderazgo
In January 2024 we made the following changes to our leadership and structures to support our long-term growth plans:
· Harry Miller (founder, former Executive Chair) succeeded Douglas Morin as CEO
· Kate Marsh (Senior Independent Director) appointed Non-Executive Chair
· Graeme Struthers (founder) appointed to the Board as COO
Douglas joined Devolver as Chief of Staff in 2020 and was appointed CEO in 2021. He played a key role in Devolver's IPO, strengthened the corporate and operating structure of the listed company, and championed the acquisition of System Era Softworks.
Harry is co-founder and former CEO of Devolver, establishing the Company in 2009 with Rick Stults, Graeme Struthers, Nigel Lowrie and Mike Wilson. In the past 15 years - two of which as Executive Chairman since IPO - Harry has been instrumental in defining and building Devolver's business and culture into the award-winning independent video games publisher and developer it has become. Harry has almost 30 years of video games experience, having established and managed a number of publishing and development businesses in the video gaming sector including Ritual Entertainment (co-founder and CEO), Gathering of Developers (co-founder and President), Hong Kong-based En-Tranz Entertainment (CEO) and Gamecock Media (President).
Kate Marsh, Senior Independent Director since Devolver's IPO in November 2021, has been appointed as Non-Executive Chair with effect from January 2024. Kate stepped down as Chair of the Remuneration Committee to become Chair of the Nomination Committee and will continue to sit on the Remuneration and Audit Committees. Kate has more than 30 years of experience in digital and media industries, having built and managed significant businesses in senior roles with Sky, GroupM, the BBC, Sony Pictures Television and most recently with Amazon-owned MGM Studios. Kate serves as a Non-Executive Director on the Board of FTSE 250 Games Workshop Group plc where she chairs the Remuneration Committee and has also served at Board level for Mediahuis Ireland (formerly INM plc).
The Company also announced in January 2024 that Graeme Struthers, Chief Operating Officer and co-founder of Devolver, joined the Board with effect from January 2024. Graeme was appointed as Chief Operating Officer in 2022 to oversee a strengthening of the leadership team and operational structures following the IPO in 2021. Before Devolver, Graeme worked across a number of games companies, including Virgin Interactive and Electronic Arts.
As part of the board and leadership changes, Jo Goodson (Non-Executive Director) stepped down as Chair of the Nomination Committee to become Chair of the Remuneration Committee.
REVISIÓN FINANCIERA
Unaudited 2023 results to December 31 2023

Further details of adjustments are given in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this annual results release.
Resultados y márgenes de pérdidas y ganancias
Full year comparison
Devolver Digital's 2023 performance was muted due to a quieter release schedule including only three major titles out of a total of 11 games, compared to five major titles in 2022 out of 12 total releases. As a result, revenues of US$92.4 million fell 31% year-over-year. Adjusted Gross profit was US$27.0 million, a greater decline of 42% year-over-year, reflecting: (i) the overall fall in revenue year-over-year, and; (ii) the greater proportion of revenues from third party games in 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA before impairments was US$1.7 million compared to US$23.2 million in 2022. Post impairments, 2023 Adjusted EBITDA loss was US$0.5 million, compared to a profit of US$13.9 million in 2022. Devolver recorded a US$1.5 million impairment to a Good Shepherd title, Hellboy: Red de Wyrd in 2H 2023, reflecting a below-expectation performance since release in October 2023. Total impairments recorded in 2023 were US$2.5 million including US$0.9 million recorded in 1H 2023.
Adjusted Gross Profit margin (pre-impairments) decreased to 29.2% in 2023, down from 34.4% in the previous year. Gross margin was compressed principally due to the royalty pay-out mix being heavily weighted towards third party titles during the year. This compares to 2022 when new first-party IP and other releases were cushioned while the titles were still in recoup (before royalties are usually paid out).
Adjusted EBITDA margins (post-impairments) were depressed at negative 0.5% in 2023, compared to a positive margin of 10.3% the previous year. The compression in 2023 Gross Profit had a direct flow through effect to impact Adjusted EBITDA, despite successfully containing cash operating expenses at similar levels as that of full year 2022 (excluding the impact of the System Era acquisition).
2H 2023 v 1H 2023 comparison
The 2H of 2023 saw a sequential improvement in all major indicators compared to the trough of 1H 2023. Revenues grew 10% half-over-half, Adjusted Gross Profit (pre-impairment) rose 62%, and Adjusted EBITDA pre impairments swung to a US$1.7 million profit, a delta of over US$4 million compared to the 1H 2023 pre impairment loss of US$2.5 million.
Saldos de caja
Cash holdings at end of December 2023 were US$42.7 millones, a reduction of US$36.8 million compared to the 2022 year-end balance of US$79.5 million. The reduction in cash balances during the period was primarily due to: 1) lower operating cash generation during the period combined with a US$28.0 million investment in ongoing game development; 2) US$6.8 million provided to the EBT for the market purchase of c.19m shares, and; 3) US$18 million paid for the purchase of System Era in late October 2023 including fees, net of acquired cash.
Fideicomiso de beneficios para empleados (EBT)
Devolver established an Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) in May 2022 to facilitate stock option exercise by employees and contractors who were awarded 2017 Stock Option plan stock options and stock units vesting under the 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The EBT is a Jersey-incorporated Trust enabling option exercise and share settlement off-market without impacting market liquidity. Share purchases by the EBT are funded by way of a loan from Devolver which can request settlement of the loan at any time in future. The shares held by the EBT are consolidated within Devolver's capital redemption reserve.
PANORAMA
We have a proven strategy that has delivered success for the last 15 years. Looking ahead to 2024, our recent acquisition System Era is performing well and provides opportunities to move into expandable games. We have a busy and exciting release schedule of new titles such as Molinillo de pimienta, El escudero valiente, pie de ira y Neva. Back catalogue sales are expected to continue to benefit from momentum from Culto del Cordero y Inscryption which have continued to perform strongly up to the end of 1Q 2024 and help to offset the ongoing trend of lower revenues from subscription deals in 2024. This momentum, allied to our net cash balance of US$43m at 2023 year-end, supports our confidence of returning to profitable growth in 2024. We expect further progress in 2025, although Human Fall Flat 2, the anticipated sequel to the global hit, will not now be released in 2025. We remain very excited about this title which we believe will set us up for an even stronger 2026. The Board considers that we are well positioned for future success, and we look forward to reporting on progress in the year ahead.

Notas
1. Financial numbers contained in this release are based on preliminary unaudited 2023 results. Further details are contained in the 2023 Annual Report which is available on the Devolver Investor website.
2. January 31, 2024 guidance was for not less than $90 million of revenues and breakeven Adjusted EBITDA (excluding impairments).
3. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation (but does not exclude amortisation of capitalised software development costs), share-based payment expenses, foreign exchange gains or losses, any one-time non-recurring items and non-trading items such as revaluation of contingent consideration. In prior periods, the Group distinguished between Adjusted EBITDA and Normalised Adjusted EBITDA. This distinction has been removed in the current year reporting for a simpler, clearer presentation in line with industry peers, and therefore the Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended 31 December 2022 as previously reported is no longer presented, and the Adjusted Normalised EBITDA previously reported is presented as Adjusted EBITDA.

Note 1: Basis of Preparation and Consolidation
After reviewing the Group's forecasts and projections and taking into account current net cash balances, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, which is defined as period of not less than 12 months from the date of publication of this Annual Report. The Group has therefore adopted the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Report.
The financial presentation in this release should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the full year ended 31 December 2023, as contained within this release.
The Group has revised the reported financials for the year ended 31 December 2022 to reflect an immaterial correction to the tax liability. Due to the identification of additional tax liability for prior periods relating to state income taxes, the reported financials for the year ended 31 December 2022 have been adjusted for a US$1.6m increase in the non-current Trade and other payables and a US$1.6m decrease in opening Retained earnings.
These preliminary unaudited financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on April 17th, 2024.
