Revenue growth driven by new title releases and Back Catalogue strength. Gross margin slightly higher than 1H 2021 despite large step-up in amortisation expenses. EBITDA margin compression due to: 1) higher payroll costs (excluding 1H 2021 Fall Guys-related bonus), reflecting the 22% increase in headcount versus 1H 2021; 2) Increases in professional fees for various work streams including audit, accounting, tax and legal fees, and; 3) Listed PLC-related costs (Director's fees, NOMAD fees and D&O insurance). 12#13STATUTORY TO NORMALISED PROFIT & LOSS $'000 2020 2021 1H 2021 1H 2022 Revenue Reported Revenue 212,738 98,152 46,443 53,003 Normalised revenue adjustment (141,635) Normalised Revenue 71,104 98,152 46,443 53,003 Gross Profit Reported gross profit 91,694 39,232 15,716 18,260 Normalised gross profit adjustment (68,613) (175) 721 Normalised Gross Profit 23,080 39,232 15,541 18,981 Adjusted EBITDA Reported Adjusted EBITDA 80,531 110,818 118,332 5,627 Normalised Adjusted EBITDA adjustment (64,748) (85,0899) (105,764) 1,191 Normalised Adjusted EBITDA 15,783 25,729 12,568 6,818 Devolver Digital Investor Presentation This table presents the adjustments to 'normalised' revenue, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA. The outperformance element in FY20 has been removed (given the significant success of Fall Guys), including initial budget numbers only. The gain on the sale of the publishing rights in April 2021 is also removed from the analysis. The Adjusted EBITDA adjustment also adds back Fall Guys-related founder bonuses in 1H 2021. The $1.2 million add back to Adjusted EBITDA in 1H 2022 is made up of US$0.72 million from the impairment on a cancelled game and US$0.45 million of non-recurring professional fees.

This is then taxed at the prevailing rate of 21%. The total taxable amount is then applied to the actual PBT for 1H, resulting in a higher tax ratio. Devolver Digital Investor Presentation Tax for 1H 2022 has been calculated by applying the FY22 effective tax rate as required by IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting'. "The effective rate of (44.6)% varies from the statutory rate of 21% due to permanent book to tax differences related to stock compensation deductions for foreign entities, which is not deductible for US income taxes." The Group expects the tax expense to unwind in 2H 2022. D 27
