#1nexters Q4 2021 Preliminary Financial Results Nexters Global BD 30 March 2022 - A ALERVAU 10. ? LL#2Disclaimer nexters Forward-looking statements Certain statements in this presentation may constitute "forward-looking statements" for purposes of the federal securities laws. Such statements are based on current expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are based on the Company's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that the Company has anticipated. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are the Company's control) or other assumptions. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of the registration statement on Form F-1 filed by the Company on September 22, 2021 and other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the Company's assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and the Company undertakes no obligation to up-date or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Non-IFRS Financial Measures This presentation contains certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as promulgated by the International Standards Accounting Board ("IFRS") and that may be different from non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies. These non-IFRS financial measures and other measures that are calculated using these non-IFRS financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with IFRS. Nexters believes that these non-IFRS measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking basis) provide useful information to investors about Nexters. Nexters' management uses forward-looking non-IFRS measures to evaluate Nexters' projected financial and operating performance. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-IFRS measures and their nearest IFRS equivalents. For example other companies may calculate non-IFRS measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore Nexters' non-IFRS measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Additionally, to the extent that forward-looking non-IFRS measures are provided, they are presented on a non-IFRS basis without reconciliation of such forward-looking non-IFRS measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this document may not sum precisely to the totals we provide, and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures The figures in this document are preliminary and unaudited 2#3Update on recent geopolitical developments Recently, as a result of the military actions in Ukraine, a number of governments, including those of the United States, United Kingdom and European Union, have imposed unprecedented sanctions on specified persons and entities in Russia. While the situation remains highly fluid and additional sanctions are possible, neither Nexters, nor any of its subsidiaries is currently subject to any sanctions that have been imposed. Nevertheless, based on the Nexters current geographical distribution of bookings, management believes that the latest geopolitical developments will have certain residual negative effects on Nexters' future financial performance, limited to the share of bookings deriving from the markets of the former Soviet Union (FSU), which stood at 13% of our total for 2021 and which, as a percentage of our total bookings, has been declining over the past few years. The exact effects cannot currently be reliably estimated due to the constantly changing environment. ● ● 3 nexters Nexters is a global firm and its key shareholders reside in the European Union and the United Kingdom with no single shareholder having an interest in more than 50% of the outstanding shares (the founders, Andrey Fadeev EU and Boris Gertsovskiy EU, each hold approx. 20.2%, Everix Investments Limited (beneficially owned by Dmitrii Bukhman and Igor Bukhman UK) holds approx. 37.8%). Players of Nexters' games are spread all around the globe, with the United States, Europe, and Asia being the largest markets, altogether representing close to 78% of the Company's bookings. Nexters has an international board of directors and a Cyprus-based management team. The majority of the Company's critical personnel, responsible for sustaining the operations of the Company, is located in Cyprus and other countries of the European Union, with Russia being used mostly for non-critical, administrative and supportive functions. We are offering relocation assistance to our employees from the affected countries, with the aim to accelerate the relocation of personnel to safe locations. Nexters will continue to analyze the announced sanctions, any potential additional sanctions, and the situation in the key markets in which Nexters operates in order to be able to react to the changing environment accordingly and to make every effort to minimize any negative impact on its business. All Nexters games that have been launched are available on all platforms. Nexters continues to develop, operate, and support all of its games. On February 28, 2022, Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange imposed a suspension of trading in securities of a number of companies with operations in Russia, including Nexters, which suspension currently remains in place. Nexters has been in regular communication with representatives of Nasdaq since the imposition of the suspension of trading in an effort to lift the suspension. We will continue to cooperate with Nasdaq on this matter. Nexters is not aware of any restrictions on the ability of U.S. and non-U.S. persons to acquire and trade in Nexters securities. As a company based in and managed from the European Union, neither Nexters, nor any of its subsidiaries is subject to recently announced sanctions as of the date of this press release, other than the suspension of trading mentioned above.#4Key operating and non-IFRS metrics used in the presentation nexters In this presentation, we use a number of key operating and non-IFRS financial metrics which we believe accurately, in material aspects, reflect the principal parameters of our historic and projected performance. For further information, regarding our operating metrics, see the registration statement on Form F-1 filed with the SEC. Operating metrics Monthly active users (MAUS) are the number of individuals who played a particular game in the 30-day period ending with the measurement date Daily active users (DAUS) are the number of individuals who played one of our games during a particular day Monthly paying users (MPUs) are the number of individuals who made a purchase of a virtual item at least once on a particular platform in the 30-day period ending with the measurement date + Monthly Payer Conversion is the total number of MPUS, divided by the number of MAUS Average Bookings Per Paying User (ABPPU) is the total Bookings attributable to in-game purchases in a given period, divided by the number of months in that period, divided by the average number of MPUS during the period Bookings are sales contracts generated from in-game purchases and sales of advertisement in a given period Non-IFRS measures Adjusted costs and expenses.

Adjusted net income is a non-IFRS financial measure and should not be construed as an alternative to Net Income/ Loss as an indicator of operating performance as determined in accordance with IFRS nexters Significant revenue YoY increase both in Q4 2021 and FY 2021 is primary driven by an increase in bookings in the amount of $24m and $116m, respectively (or 20% and 26%, respectively) and by a decrease in change of deferred revenues in the amount of $25m and $57m, respectively Operating cash flow increased on 5% in Q4 2021 demonstrating the increased efficiency and cash generation capacity of our business. Decrease in FY 2021 is explained by higher marketing investments than in FY 2020 The net loss in FY 2021 originated predominantly from the non-cash non-recurring share listing expense in the amount of $125 million. At same time, the net income in Q4 2021 almost doubled Adjusted net income experienced severalfold YoY growth in Q4 2021 and FY 2021 driven by the increase in revenues, partially offset by the increase in marketing investments, platform commissions and G&A expenses#9Key financial highlights (2/2) $m Total Costs and Expenses, Excluding D&A +43% Q4 2020 Q4 2021 39 99 $m Selling and Marketing Expenses +30% 51 262 FY 2020 166 +112% +63% FY 2020 555 FY 2021 270 $m FY 2021 Adjusted Costs and Expenses (1) (2) 79 +26% Q4 2020 $m G&A Expenses >100% 99 Q4 2021 Q4 2020 9 312 Q4 2021 +44% FY 2020 >100% Q4 2020 Q4 2021 9 Source: Company information (preliminary and unaudited) 1) The Company defines Adjusted costs and expenses as the total of platform commissions, game operating costs, selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses for the period as shown in the Company's financial statements in accordance with IFRS, adjusted to exclude (i) share-based compensation expense, (ii) net change in deferred platform commission fees, (iii) impairment of non-current assets, (iv) any gains and losses arising as result of business combinations and (v) certain non-cash or other special items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
