MAG Interactive AB (publ) presents interim report Sep 2017 – Feb 2018
COMMENT FROM DANIEL HASSELBERG, CEO
”The number of daily active players during the quarter is up 74% compared to the same period previous year. With more than 10 million monthly active players and true evergreens like Quiz Duel and Ruzzle in the portfolio we have a fantastic and loyal player base to entertain for many years to come.
The game contribution is up 22% compared to last year but the marketing investments are lower than we would like and we are not pleased with the decrease in revenues that comes as a result of that. Even though we see a positive trend in marketing investments versus the previous reporting period we are still not happy with the overall volumes and it remains a focus area for the company.
After test launches in Australia, Canada and Sweden we are now preparing for a global launch of our next big game title, Word Domination. It is a unique game with big potential and a strong addition to our portfolio of word games. This will be our biggest launch since 2016 and we are very excited about the upcoming release."
