T OP 100 GAMES OF 2009 2010 BUYERS’ GUIDE As of late 2009, there are roughly 100,000 applications in Apple’s App Store - a staggering number given that the Store is less than a year and a half old. Unfortunately, most of the releases are junk. That’s the reason for this section of the Buyers’ Guide: which apps are actually worth purchasing given all the filler out there? On the pages that follow, you’ll find the 100 iPhone apps our editors consider essential across many genres, selected based on sheer utility, interface design, and value. These are the apps we actually use and love, not just ones that seemed cool for three days before fading into obscurity. We focused on titles that were initially released in complete form, and leaned towards apps that were released or substantially updated in the last year. Any overlap between these and last year’s picks shows just how critical an app remains a year later; the almost entirely new list shows just how much has changed. 38 38 2010 BUYERS’ GUIDE 100 APPS: BUSINESS + FINANCE Balance Bento iBank Jaadu VNC/RDW A relatively powerful A polished personal Track the status of your Access your Mac or PC free tool to manage database app that works bank account’s balances, from iPhone/touch, either your checking or savings alone or with Mac Bento along with categorized in full screen or zoomed account, capable of to manage your projects, and itemized listings of in.

Despite strong potential, it will likely be some time before overseas operations begin to make genuine profit contributions (the role of platforms remains unknown), so overseas markets do not offer much relief either, in our view. As the market shifts to native smartphone applications, the balance between increased costs and growth in user numbers in the domestic market will likely become a critical earnings variable for social network game developers. In this report, we look at earnings under different scenarios, as well as the The Credit Suisse Connections Series potential for business diversification to help stabilize earnings. leverages our exceptional breadth of ■ Conclusions: Game development costs are set to increase in response to: macro and micro research to deliver (1) higher royalty payments and (2) the ongoing shift to higher-spec games. incisive cross-sector and cross-border thematic insights for our clients.

    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.
