In the PC/Console Games segment, a solid earnings growth is expected, driven by the release of more large- and mid- sized, internally developed games during the financial year. Adjusted EBIT within the PC/Console Games segment weighted towards H2, driven by improved ROI for releases in H1 and a strong lineup of new releases in H2. In the Mobile Games segment, a low single-digit organic growth is expected, with gradually stronger growth during the financial year. The Adjusted EBIT margin is expected to be largely in line or slightly above FY 2022/23. In the Tabletop Games segment, high-single-digit organic growth is expected, driven by the trading cards product area, with an Adjusted EBIT margin slightly below FY 2022/23. Earnings seasonality is expected to be more pronounced, driven by cost phasing, timing of new releases and product mix.#18casearen KIERO 47622AZOZIR OLSOFA NSPOISONEIN тојO око TOMASE CX FA SUUR PX Team Bl 58 LAS 120012018 GEDOIZODEN - M Q1 update on the restructuring program ~ 2049147012 Ad 700 Ko 01900120 LOU#19Q1 UPDATE ON THE RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM Today's speaker MÜGE BOUILLON FINANCE WORKSTREAM LEAD, EMBRACER GROUP & CFO, ASMODEE EMBRACER+* GROUP 19#20Q1 UPDATE ON THE RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM Reminder of the objectives Increased cash conversion, improved efficiency and reduced capex targeting : At least SEK 2.9bn annual capex savings Compared to Q4 FY 22/23 run-rate At least SEK 0.8bn annual overhead savings Compared to Q4 FY 22/23 run-rate EMBRACER+ GROUP Net debt below SEK 8.0bn by end of FY 23/24 Including impact of SEK 2.0bn direct share issue completed in July 2023 Measures to be implemented over FY 23/24 reaching full financial run rate impact in FY 24/25.#21Q1 UPDATE ON THE RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM Program focus areas and phases Main Focus Areas being addressed in phases Capex and Opex savings Capital allocation Efficiency improvements 13 June 2023 1st phase 2nd phase 3rd phase Opex and initial phase capex savings Further capex savings and capital allocation initiatives Further capital allocation initiatives and efficiency improvements including consolidation EMBRACER+ GROUP 31 March 2024 Clearly defined structure in place under leadership of Executive Management with the engagement and commitment of Senior Management from across the Group For illustrative purposes, not to scale 21#22Q1 UPDATE ON THE RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM Where we are today Capex and Opex savings Capital allocation Efficiency improvements Good progress being made and tracking towards the targets First round review of Capital Expenditure completed - initial initiatives to reduce number of projects and studios have commenced ● ● EMBRACER+ GROUP Review of Overheads completed - overhead savings initiatives identified within the range of targets communicated Global review of the existing pipeline in progress New group-wide investment greenlighting process designed and being rolled out Increased external funding of internally developed games and potential divestment opportunities being worked on as a matter of high priority Important steps taken to create a new process for game investment and game development progress review. 22#23EMBRACER GROUP | Q1 FY 2023/24 A FEW FINAL REMARKS 23#24LESERS Q&A Until 10:00 CEST#25EMBRACER GROUP +
