Embracer Group Reason: Preview of Results Company Sponsored Research Seasonally Strong Quarter Ahead Not Rated Equity Research - 19 January 2020 20:03 CET Embracer Group Reason: Preview of results Company sponsored research Seasonally strong quarter ahead Not rated Solid Q3’19/20e expected; however, we adjust… Estimate changes (%) …estimates due to FF VII, Shenmue III & Biomutant 2019e 2020e 2021e EV/operational EBIT 17.3x-11.8x for ’19e-‘21e Sales -13.8% 11.5% 5.0% EBIT (rep) -20.4% 17.7% 10.9% Q3’19/20e: sales of SEK 1,535m, Op. EBIT SEK 363m EPS (rep) -21.7% 18.3% 11.4% For Q3’19/20e, we estimate a top line of SEK 1,535m for total y-o-y Source: ABG Sundal Collier growth of 11.2%. On a segment level, we estimate revenues of SEK Share price (SEK) 16/01/2020 75.0 550m from Deep Silver, driven by strong back catalogue sales from Metro Exodus and Kingdom Come: Deliverance as well as the new Software, Sweden release of Shenmue III. For THQ Nordic, we estimate sales of SEK EMBRACB.ST /EMBRACB ST 325m, driven mainly by the release of Darksiders Genesis on Steam and Google Stadia in combination with strong back catalogue sales from MCap (SEKm) 21,041 Wreckfest. For Coffee Stain, we forecast sales of SEK 60m, mainly MCap (EURm) 1,991.3 driven by Satisfactory, which has claimed a spot on the Epic Game Store Net debt (EURm) -174 top sellers list for several weeks. In terms of Partner Publishing, we forecast sales of SEK 600m, driven by the seasonally strong Sep-Dec No. of shares (m) 281 period, along with stronger than expected sales for F1’19. As such, the Free float (%) 48.2 total contribution from the Games segments amounts to SEK 935m, or Av. daily volume (k) 571.2 61% of total revenues. This should provide strong margins for the quarter, and we forecast a gross margin of 50.1%, contributing to our Next event Q3 report: 19 Feb operational EBIT estimate of SEK 363m, for a margin of 23.6%. Performance Estimate revisions due to FF VII, Shenmue III & Biomutant 900 We lower our revenue estimate for Deep Silver from SEK 625m to SEK 800 550m in Q3’19/20e, mainly due to Shenmue III performing below our 700 600 expectations. Furthermore, as no official release date has been 500 announced for Biomutant, we have pencilled in a release in the next 400 300 financial year instead of Q4’19/20e. Lastly, due to a delay of Square 200 Enixs’ Final Fantasy VII remake, we now pencil in a release in Q1’20/21e 100 instead of Q4’19/20e.

EBIT Source: ABG Sundal Collier, Company data 19 January 2020 ABG Sundal Collier 2 Embracer Group Estimate changes We have slightly lowered our revenue estimate for the Deep Silver segment in Q3’19/20e, from SEK 625m to SEK 550m, mainly due to Shenmue III performing below our expectations. As no official release date for Biomutant has been announced, we have moved the release from Q4’19/20e into the next financial year. As such, we lower Q4’19/20e revenue for the THQ segment from SEK 450m to SEK 300m. We acknowledge that Biomutant would most likely have had a much larger impact than SEK 150m, but given strong reviews of Darksiders Genesis and solid sales figures on PC, we think that the console release will perform stronger in Q4’19/20e than we originally thought. Square Enix recently announced that it was pushing back the release of its much- anticipated Final Fantasy VII remake, for which Koch Media is set to handle physical distribution in Europe. The game was initially set to be released in March ’20, but it has now been slated for April ’20. As such, we lower our revenue forecast from SEK 1,000m to SEK 400m in Q4’19/20 for the Partner Publishing segment, and pencil in a Q1’20/21e release. Lastly, we note that the fact that 2020/2021e looks like being a very strong year for the Partner Publishing segment – with releases like Final Fantasy VII remake, Marvels’ Avengers, Dying Light 2 and Resident Evil 3 remake - will pressure Embracer’s profitability due to low gross margins in the Partner Publishing segment.

    PROGRAM 2018 PROGRAM#nordicgame 2017 #nordicgame Welcome to Nordic Game 2018 It’s a great pleasure to welcome you to this fifteenth edition of Nordic Game, the only conference in the world with a dedicated focus on the entire Nordic games industry. Over the years we’ve evolved from a humble regional conference into a truly global industry event, as our vision of a strong, united games community and the values so many of us share - openness, innovation and diversity - have resonated with games industry professionals around the world, and they have been welcomed into our extended family. Of course, we continue to proudly celebrate the sheer quality and variety of games developed in the Nordic countries, and this year’s Nordic Game Awards (Thursday, 24 May from 18:00 in the Unreal Theatre) once again reflects the imagination and vitality of developers from the region we call home. However, our rapidly changing, interconnected industry doesn’t allow us to rest on our laurels, and our opening keynote (Wednesday, 23 May at 11:00 in the Unreal Theatre) brings together a panel of leaders from some of our most prominent Nordic studios to explore key challenges and opportunities for game developers moving forward. True to the many values we share with our extended global family, we’re also introducing a string of talks - the Impact sessions - that delve beyond the albeit important business and technical aspects of game development, to encourage all of us to think more deeply about the real impact of the games we create - and how we create them - on our world.
