COMMENTS BY THE CEO
We have started 2025 with a stable course and clear focus. Despite a quarter with fewer releases, some currency headwinds, and investments in our future, our core business continues to deliver strong cash flows. This gives us the freedom to think long-term, act strategically - and to build on the already very solid financial foundation we stand on.
We are following our strategy, and step by step we see how our games are increasingly becoming platforms - living ecosystems rather than individual releases. That is exactly where we want to be.
Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive
