Strong growth in all business segments
in the third quarter
GAMING: Performance in the Gaming business was
excellent, with sales up 74.3%.
Catalogue sales (new games) amounted to €20.7
million, an increase of 102.2% driven by the success of
Robocop: Rogue City TM, which
achieved record sales and obtained a User Score of 92% on Steam,
along with good sales of Cricket 24: Official Game of The
AshesTM.
Back Catalogue sales (games released in previous
years) also saw strong growth, boosted by an increase in console
ownership and the signature of a significant contract, and rose by
42.1% to €12.6 million.
ACCESSORIES: Sales in this business amounted to
€23.9 million, an increase of 17.1%. New products released in
October – the RIG 600
PRO gaming headset and the REVOLUTION
5 PRO controller – are very widely stocked by specialist
retailers and their sales have got off to a good start.
2023/24: strong growth expected in sales
and operating income
As previously announced, the second half of the
2023/24 financial year is seeing a busy release schedule, with over
10 new games during the period.
After the launch of War Hospital on 11 January
and the excellent start of New Cycle released on January 18 and
published by Daedalic studio, releases in the fourth quarter are
set to include:
- Test Drive Unlimited: Solar
CrownTM,
- Taxi Life,
- Garden Life,
- Welcome to Paradize,
- Crown Wars the Black Prince,
- …
Back Catalogue sales should continue to show
good momentum despite a high base for comparison.
The Accessories business will benefit from the
success of recently launched products.Accordingly, second-half
business levels will be buoyant as previously announced, allowing
NACON to confirm its expectation of strong growth in sales and
operating income in the 2023/24 financial year.
