COMMENTS BY CEO TERO VIRTALA
"2019 was a good year financially for Remedy and an important milestone in our longer-term growth plans. We set a growth-oriented strategy in early 2017 and since then have built new game teams, initiated new projects, developed our skills and improved how we work and collaborate. In 2019, we finalized and launched Control, the first of the four games we have been developing as part of our longer-term growth plans.
In 2019, our revenue was 31.6 million euros (20.1), with 57% growth vs. the comparison period. Our operating profit was 6.5 million euros (0.6), or 21 % of our revenue, with 973% growth vs. the comparison period. Cash flow was -3.5 million euros (0.4), and our cash position was 19.6 million euros at the end of the period under review. Cash flow and cash position were affected by the timing of royalty payments related to Control and also by our continued development investments.
Our revenue mainly comprised royalties recognized from Control game sales as well as development fees received from the publishers for the Control and Crossfire game projects. Alan Wake game sales also contributed to revenue. Royalty payments from previously released games had a positive effect of 2.5 million euros on our operating profit. In relation to this, the publishing rights for Alan Wake games also reverted to Remedy.
Control, a game created and owned by Remedy, was released by 505 Games on 27[th] of August 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The game reached an average Metascore of 84/100 from game critics. Control also received over 60 awards and accolades during the annual game awards season, including several Game of the Year awards from the world's leading gaming media outlets. Overall, Control is a major achievement that proves the capabilities of our team and technology. We have continued to develop Control with post-launch content, including the free Photo Mode and Expeditions updates released in October and December 2019. We still have a team working on two paid game expansions (downloadable content, or "DLC") to be released in 2020.
Compared to many big-budget games released in 2019, Control hasn't had as large marketing budget, which may have impacted early launch-period game sales. There are still a lot of potential gamers who have yet to discover Control, and we are gradually reaching them. This is facilitated by the awards and the proven quality of the game, continued positive word-of-mouth and the ongoing PR, marketing and sales activities of 505 Games and Remedy.
Control's high quality, uniqueness and technical innovation provide opportunities to bring the game to new platforms. The post-launch sales have settled on a good level, and the game has maintained a relatively high average sales price. With Control, we have succeeded in creating a new game brand and a game that stands out. All of the above support Remedy's future partner discussions for projects beyond Control, a game that is a great manifestation of what we can accomplish as a company.
Remedy has continued work on the second Crossfire project in good collaboration with Smilegate, the game's owner and publisher. Smilegate announced at the E3 2019 conference that they are teaming up with Microsoft on CrossfireX, which will be the first Crossfire title ever to be released on a console platform. The game will include Remedy's single player campaign when it launches on Xbox One in 2020. Remedy was included in the Crossfire presentation at X019, a major Xbox consumer event held in London in November.
Our third, as yet unannounced game project is proceeding well. The team working on our fourth project, Vanguard, has reached the stage of having the first internally playable development version of the game. The goal of Vanguard is to create a game that combines long-term service-based multiplayer experiences with some of Remedy's unique game features. Both projects are preparing for pre-production. Overall, we have continued to systematically develop Remedy's production competences, processes and ways of working. A special focus has been on extending our capabilities of distributed development, including wider external development projects, co-developments with partners and outsourcing specific parts of the project.
We continued to develop and utilize our proprietary Northlight game engine and game development tools with a team of 40 people. With the exception of Vanguard, all of our game projects are built on Northlight's game engine. New technology and tools developed for Control were finalized, tested and polished - including AI, new animation technology that utilizes motion matching, various content creation tools, PlayStation 4 support and NVIDIA RTX ray tracing. The Northlight team has also started to develop systems and processes that enable game teams to add online functionality to future games. Our current focus is on back-end features required by the Vanguard project. There is also on-going work so that we are prepared for the next generation consoles arriving in 2020.
Remedy's headcount increased 24% and reached 248 full-time employees, who represent game industry professionals from 26 different nationalities, with 50% Finns and 50% from abroad. We received over 2 770 relevant job applications in 2019, which led us to hire 52 permanent employees. Our HR continued to develop and support our growing organization with a long-term emphasis on improving supervisor work and leadership. Systematic feedback and coaching have been special focuses to also enable personal development and career progression, as 69 employees were promoted during 2019. Our Employee Engagement Score was 8.4 on a 0-10 scale, a high score when benchmarked against other similar-sized tech companies worldwide. Additionally, our employee turnover has steadily improved from 14.3% (2017) to 9.5% (2018) to 7.5% (2019) - yet another indication that our efforts in talent management are progressing well.
In 2019, Control launched to a great reception, winning multiple awards, and its post-launch sales have settled on a good level while work on the upcoming paid expansions continues. Remedy's other game projects and technology developments are also proceeding well, supported by our wider business and production developments. Overall, we have reached the first growth milestone in 2019, and done it in a way that builds a sustainable basis also for an even longer-term growth.
We continue with the next phase of our growth plan in 2020. Focus will be on the four main game projects we have in development. We will continue to invest and develop capabilities that support these games to become successes creative-wise, production-wise and business-wise, keeping in mind our goal of launching at least one game or game expansion annually. Even though the launch of our next new game brand will go beyond 2020, we expect 2020 to be a financially good year."
Future outlook
Remedy expects its revenue and operating profit to increase during 2020. Majority of the revenue and operating profit growth is expected to materialize during the second half-year period.
Based on our growth strategy - and to enable frequent game releases in the future - we will continue working on Smilegate-owned Crossfire and on game brands that are owned and significantly financed by Remedy.
Financial targets
Remedy aims to create long-term profitable growth, primarily organically, by expanding the product portfolio and entering into new partnerships.
Royalties and development fees received from publisher partners depend on future game projects, game release schedules and other terms and conditions of each cooperation. Fluctuations between half-year results and even between fiscal years may be significant, depending on the amount and timing of received development fees as well as game release schedules.
Financial review 1 January - 31 December 2019
RESULT FROM BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Remedy's revenue for the period under review was 31 645 (20 146) thousand euros, an increase of 57.1% year-on-year. Main factors contributing to the growth in revenue were the launch of the game Control and related recognized royalty income and development fees received from publishers of Control and Crossfire games. For Control, Remedy receives 45% of game sales net revenue. The revenue share for Remedy is calculated from net sales, which takes into account deductions from gross sales, such as retail and marketing costs of the game. These deductions are upfront-loaded and affect revenue share calculation negatively especially in the first months of game sales. During the reporting period, the company also recognized a one-time royalty consisting of royalty payments from previously released games.
The Board of Directors made a decision to capitalize product development expenses partially starting 1 January 2019. The decision concerned product development expenses for two projects - the third not yet announced project and project Vanguard - during the period under review. The company capitalized 1 510 thousand euros of product development expenses during the reporting period. Product development expenses for other projects were not capitalized. The company will from 1 January 2019 onwards capitalize product development expenses for all new own game brand product development projects, subject to FAS product capitalization rules.
Other operating income for the period under review amounted to 181 (249) thousand euros and consisted of cost reimbursements received from a partner. During the comparison period, other operating income was comprised mainly of Business Finland research and development subsidies.
Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to 6 534 (609) thousand euros, being 20.6% of revenue. Main factors contributing to the increase in operating profit were royalty revenue growth and capitalization of product development expenses. Personnel expenses increased by 47.3% during the reporting period compared to the comparison period due to the increased number of personnel and - as result of good profit level - higher amount of bonus accrual than during the comparison period. Materials and services expenses increased by 44.1% mainly due to the increase in outsourced work related mainly to two projects in full production mode. Other operating expenses remained on the same euro-dominated level as during the comparison period and decreased compared to revenue to a level of 16.1% (25.1%). Comparison period's other operating expenses were affected by one-off expenses related to the office move. Effect of the one-time royalty income on operating profit was 2 471 thousand euros. Effect on operating profit from product development expense capitalization for new projects was 1 510 thousand euros. If the effect of one-time royalty payment and capitalization of product development expenses is eliminated, the comparable operating profit for the period would be 2 554 (609) thousand euros. Comparison table eliminating items affecting the comparability of operating profit for the reporting period and comparison period is in the financial tables section
The net result for the period under review amounted to 5 238 (532) thousand euros, being 16.6% (2.6%) of revenue.
FINANCIAL POSITION
The company's balance sheet total on 31 December 2019 was 35 896 (28 261) thousand euros.
The company's equity ratio on 31 December 2019 was 73.5% (79.1%) and net gearing -60.2% (-89.9%). The company did not have any goodwill on its balance sheet.
Non-current assets
The non-current assets on the company's balance sheet on 31 December 2019 were 4 614 (2 969) thousand euros. The increase in non-current assets is largely due to product development expenses capitalization as well as technology and furniture purchases and renovation expenses of the office recognized on the balance sheet.
Current assets
The current assets on the company's balance sheet on 31 December 2019 were 31 282 (25 293) thousand euros. Current assets were mainly comprised of cash in hand and on bank accounts, totaling to 19 550 (23 028) thousand euros, and short-term receivables totaling to 11 211 (1 820) thousand euros. The amount of receivables varies between periods due to the timing of the income payments based on agreed commercial terms.
Shareholders' equity
The company's shareholders' equity on 31 December 2019 was 26 383 (22 352) thousand euros. The shareholders' equity was affected by 1 207 thousand euros dividend payment and by 5 238 thousand euros net profit for the financial period.
Liabilities
The company's liabilities on 31 December 2019 amounted to 9 514 (5 909) thousand euros. The change in liabilities is primarily due to an increase in accounts payables and accruals. Bonus accrual for 2019 was main reason for accrual increase. Business Finland research and development loan of 3 674 (2 939) thousand euros was recorded in long-term liabilities.
CASH FLOW
Cash flow from business operations after interest paid and direct taxes for reporting period amounted to -492 (2 938) thousand euros. Royalty revenue cash flow is based on agreed payments terms with partners and can differ at certain periods quite much from accrual basis revenue recognized within period. Cash flow for business operations is also affected by timing of significant project business payments, which vary according to invoicing milestones.
Cash flow from investing activities during the reporting period amounted to -2 467 (-3 010) thousand euros. The capitalized product development expenses included in the investing activities' cash flow amounted to 1 510 thousand euros during the reporting period. During the comparison period, investing activities' cash flow was affected by one-time type items related to office premises renovation.
Financing cash flow amounted to -518 (1 050) thousand euros. Financing cash flow during the reporting period consisted of 1 207 thousand euros dividend payment and additional 735 thousand euros withdrawal of Business Finland research and development loan. The company did not pay dividend on comparison period.
Personnel, management and governance
The number of the company's personnel was 248 (200) at the end of the period under review, growth of +24%. The majority of the new employees focus on our game projects, the development of our Northlight technology and general production support.
