Interim Report • 1 January – 30 September 2018
THQ NORDIC AB (PUBL) REG NO.: 556582-6558 INTERIM REPORT • 1 JANUARY – 30 SEPTEMBER 2018 EBIT INCREASED 278% TO SEK 90.8 MILLION We had another stable quarter with continued momentum. The strategy of diversification is paying off. Net sales increased by 1,403% to a record SEK 1,272.7 million in the quarter. EBITDA increased by 521% to SEK 214.8 million and EBIT increased by 278% to SEK 90.8 million compared to the same period last year. The gross margin percentage decreased due to a large share of net sales with lower margin within Partner Publishing. Cash flow from operating activities in the quarter was SEK –740.1 million, mainly due to the decision to replace forfaiting of receivables with bank debt within Koch Media. Both THQ Nordic and Koch Media contributed to the group’s EBIT during the quarter. Net sales in the THQ Nordic business area were up 47% to SEK 124.2 million. This was driven by the release of Titan Quest, Red Faction Guerilla Re-Mars-tered and This is the Police 2, in addition to continued performance of Wreckfest. Net sales of Deep Silver were SEK 251.8 million, driven by the release of Dakar 18 and a good performance of Pathfinder Kingmaker at the end of the quarter. The digital net sales of the back-catalogue in both business areas continued to have solid performances. Our Partner Publishing business area had a strong quarter driven by significant releases from our business partners Codemasters, SquareEnix and Sega. During the quarter, we acquired several strong IPs such as Alone in the Dark, Kingdoms of Amalur and Time- splitters. -

THQ Nordic (THQNO.ST)
COMPANY ANALYSIS 1 March 2018 Summary THQ Nordic (THQNO.ST) List: Power-up! Market Cap: 11,190 MSEK The company had an immense release schedule with loads of Industry: Gaming new content during the quarter. The reported numbers beat CEO: Lars Wingefors Chairman: Kicki Wallje-Lund our estimates. Even though that THQ Nordic produced a record quarter, the thing stole the spotlight was the announcement of the acquisition of Koch Media; we get into OMXS 30 THQ Nordic detail about the acquired company in this research update. 160 The acquisition is a prime example of THQ Nordic’s 140 acquisition strategy. We believe that the market is yet to fully 120 100 grasp the underlying value and cash flow generating 80 capabilities of THQ Nordic’s growing IP portfolio, which was 60 enhanced significantly by the acquirement. 40 20 We raised our Base-case valuation to 140 SEK per share 0 28-Feb 29-May 27-Aug 25-Nov 23-Feb based on a Back-Of-The-Envelope assessment on the same day as the acquisition. Following a more in-depth analysis, we increase our fair value estimate further to 168 SEK per share. We argue that the new addition to the Group was acquired at a low price and that the long-term possibilities following the purchase are vast.
