But we did know something: that these oddly compelling fowl balls and the world they inhabited were vivid enough to thrive anywhere, not just in their native habitat on your smartphone screen. That’s why we called the game “Angry Birds” and not, say, “Slingshot.” From the beginning, these characters and their motivation – why so angry? – mattered. A universe was hatching. It was this passion for character and storytelling that eventually enabled Rovio to branch out into publishing, consumer products, animation and more. Today, with the global success of The Angry Birds Movie, I think we can fairly say that we have arrived as a fully-fedged entertainment house. We are overfowing with ideas and stories – and not just in the Angry Birds universe. New IPs like Nibblers, Storm Sisters and Kit^n^Kate have us very excited. The past six-and-half years has been a remarkable ride, but I believe we’re only just getting started.

O It has been a long-standing tradition to host a cartoon program event here in Munich. Munich is just the right venue: the local television stations and producers, special service providers for VFX and animation, the renowned University of Television and Film Munich (HFF) as well as other elite universities and, last but not least, an active and innovative games industry make Munich a first class location for animation film and television productions in Germany. The State of Bavaria with its film funding program run by the FilmFernsehFonds Bayern (FFF Bayern) contributes highly towards maintaining this leading position. The FFF Bayern disburses funding totaling 33 million — 4.7 million € of this funding is specifically allocated to the technically highly demanding and staff-intensive VFX and animation services and to international co-productions. In addition, there is a program that is dedicated to the games industry in Bavaria. This program will be further extended in the following years, and other media innovations will also be funded in future.

Rovio´s total consolidated full-year revenue amounted to €156 million (2010: €6.5 million, 2011: €75.6 million, 2012: €152.2 million). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were €36.5 million (2010: €3.1 million, 2011: €46.9 million, 2012: €76.8 million), and net profit after tax was €26.9 million (2010: €3 million, 2011: €35.4 million, 2012: €55,5 million). “After three years of very strong growth, 2013 was a foundation-building year.

With these investments we have been gearing up for the future growing markets”, said Rovio CFO Herkko Soininen. “Building on top of our games business, where we moved into free-to-play, Rovio set its foot strongly into the entertainment business. In 2013 we formed a world-class movie animation production team in Los Angeles that is already working on the first Angry Birds feature film, to be globally premiered in July 2016. In addition we built the biggest animation studio in the Nordics for the production of animated TV content, bringing to market 42 Angry Birds Toons episodes in its first year.
