Steam, our largest distribution partners, released a top list in the end of December with the 100 best selling games of 2016. Paradox had no less than 5 titles on the list (Stellaris, Cities:Skylines, Hearts of Iron IV, Europa Universalis IV and Crusader Kings II), a clear indication of the strength and range in our portfolio. We are cash flow positive and al- ready have a good cash position, enabling us to do larger investments and look at interesting acquisitions. However, it’s important to stress that we are in no hurry, making the right decisions for Paradox of today and Paradox of tomor- row is the priority above all. After the IPO one of the most frequently asked questions I receive is “when are you planning to exit”? As an entrepre- neur and CEO it’s hard for me to understand that question. A more suitable question in my opinion would be “how do you plan to scale”? In many ways we are just getting started on our journey. During the fourth quarter we released several expansions to our existing titles. We also released a larger title on No- vember 10th, Tyranny. Tyranny is developed by Obsidian Entertainment and has received a very warm reception by critics and gamers all over the world. We believe Tyranny Paradox Interactive AB (publ) • Org.nr: 556667-4759 • Västgötagatan 5, 6th floor • S-118 27 Stockholm • www.paradoxinteractive.com 3 YEAR END REPORT, 2016-01-01 - 2016-12-31 YEAR END REPORT, 2016-01-01 - 2016-12-31 is a game where the sales will stretch over a longer media to show them our upcoming line-up.

Unlike the broad open-ended stories that are availa- ble to you in Crusader Kings II or Europa Universalis IV, Hearts of Iron is a ruthlessly focused game. You are not shackled to history, but the game is about World War II and World War II will happen. Of course, the World War II you encounter in a game will bear only a passing resemblance to the one we know from history. Maybe Germany goes after the Soviet Union first, and maybe Italy decides to go its own way in 1938. But Hearts of Iron is still a game about war – preparing for war, researching war re- lated technologies, developing attack plans and then keeping that war machi- ne going until the issue is settled. To this end, Hearts of Iron has a much greater emphasis on military matters than political or economic matters.
