Q3 preview. We estimate the company’s upcoming Q3 revenue and adj. EBITDA to be $103.0 million and $4.9 million, respectively. There is the prospect for an upside surprise, however, particularly for adj. EBITDA. We believe that the company’s ongoing strategy for improving operational efficiency could be reflected in this quarter. The company is expected to report Q3 results in the second week in November.
Enhancing efficiency. During the company’s Q2 earnings call, management highlighted its focus on efficiency in its user acquisition strategy. We believe the company’s efficient use of marketing spend, particularly in areas that provide sufficient returns, could indicate upside surprise potential for adj. EBITDA, not only from our estimate, but also the Street consensus which is $8.5 million.

Q2 results. The company reported Q2 revenue of $105.8 million, which was in line with our $105.0 million estimate. Due to lower than expected Selling & Marketing Expenses and efficiency initiatives, adj. EBITDA was $16.2 million, far better than our $0.9 million estimate. Selling & Marketing expenses were roughly $11 million lower than expected, accounting for the largest portion of the sizable “beat”.
PC picking up Steam. Notably, management highlighted the launch of Pixel Gun 3D PC Edition to the Steam platform, the largest digital distribution platform for PC gaming. The launch of Pixel Gun 3D on Steam and a solid quarter for Hero Wars: Dominion Era led to PC revenue accounting for 42% of total revenue, up from 38% in the prior year period. The addition of Steam is viewed favorably given that PC players tend to spend more money and time playing than mobile users.

LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Sept. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GDEV Inc. (NASDAQ: GDEV), an international gaming and entertainment company (“GDEV” or the “Company”) released its unaudited financial and operational results for the second quarter and first half-year ended June 30, 2024.
GDEV CEO, Andrey Fadeev stated:
“Over the past months, we’ve been refining our strategic vision, and now we’re prepared to push forward with renewed confidence. Despite the temporary decline in some of our key operational and financial metrics, our ability to maintain a robust revenue mix between PC and mobile platforms — where PC has grown to 42% of our total bookings — underscores our adaptive strategy and resilience. Additionally, our strong cash flow trends, the significant reduction in platform commissions and the reduction of the game operation costs reflect the operational efficiencies we’ve been able to achieve, reflected in our recording a net profit in Q2 2024 versus a net loss in Q1 2024 and an improvement in Adjusted EBITDA year over year. Each of our studios is laser-focused on delivering the top game for their audience. We are bringing in top talent from the gaming industry, which is helping us turn our long-held ambitions into reality. This journey is driven by strategic growth and a commitment to excellence in everything we do. This isn’t just about quick wins; it’s about building a strong, sustainable future. We’re here for the long haul, dedicated to creating experiences that will impress our players and solidify our position in the market.”
Second quarter 2024 financial highlights:
Revenue of $106 million decreased by 8% year-over-year.
Bookings of $108 million decreased by 3% year-over-year primarily due to decrease of advertising bookings while the bookings from in-app purchases remained relatively stable, demonstrating continued user engagement.
Selling and marketing expenses of $47 million decreased by 7% year-over-year driven by our successful shift in user acquisition strategy, focusing on enhancing efficiency and long-term value generation.
Platform commissions decreased by 16% year-over-year, driven by strong performance of our PC platforms, which carry lower commissions.
Profit for the period, net of tax of $15 million in Q2 2024 vs. $20 million in Q2 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA of $16 million in the second quarter of 2024 staying at the same level compared to the second quarter of 20231, highlighting our operational resilience amidst market fluctuations
Cash flows generated from operating activities were $11 million, demonstrating strong cash management and operational efficiency.
European share of bookings increased to 29%, reflecting our growing presence and successful marketing activities in the region.
Product updates:
Hero Wars, our flagship global mid-core franchise, recently celebrated a major milestone with its first-ever in-game collaboration featuring the legendary gaming icon, Lara Croft. This partnership garnered overwhelmingly positive feedback from our player community and was bolstered by extensive brand marketing campaigns. These efforts propelled the Hero Wars brand to an all-time high in Google Trends search interest.
Pixel Gun 3D, our pixel shooter franchise, successfully expanded to the PC platform with its launch on Steam. The game made an impressive debut, ranking among the Top 20 best-selling and Top 50 most-played games and peaking at 25,000 concurrent players. Remarkably, these achievements were secured with minimal marketing spend, enabling us to recover development costs on the very first day of release.
Second quarter and first half 2024 financial performance in comparison
In the second quarter of 2024, our revenue decreased by $9 million (or 8%) year-over-year and amounted to $106 million. While bookings for the second quarter of 2024 remained relatively stable, decreasing by $3 million, the decrease in revenue compared to Q2 2023 was primarily driven by a decrease in the recognition of deferred revenues associated with bookings recorded in periods prior to Q2 2024: in Q2 2024, $63 million of revenues resulted from the bookings recorded prior to Q2 2024 compared to $70 million of revenues booked in Q2 2023 which resulted from bookings recorded prior to Q2 2023. Revenues reported in Q2 2023, in turn, were impacted by the recognition of record high bookings generated in 2021. The decrease in revenues also reflects the increasing portion of our bookings in Q2 2024 that are required to be recognized as deferred revenue in later periods, as a greater proportion was generated from our PC platform, where players’ lifespan tends to be higher compared with other platforms.
Platform commissions decreased by $4 million (or 16%) in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, driven by a 7% decrease in revenues generated from in-game purchases, and amplified by growth of revenues derived from PC platforms which are associated with lower commissions.
Game operation costs decreased by $2 million, reaching $12 million in the second quarter of 2024, driven mostly by a decrease in employee headcount in our office in Armenia compared with the same period in 2023.
Selling and marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2024 decreased by $3 million, amounting to $47 million. The decrease is attributed to a shift in user acquisition strategy focused on enhancing efficiency in Q2 2024 vs. the same period in 2023.
General and administrative expenses were $9 million in Q2 2024 compared with $8 million in Q2 2023. The increase was primarily due to the consulting fees related to investor relations activities.
As a result of the factors above, together with other diverse factors (including, principally, a change in fair value of share warrant obligation of $0.4 million in Q2 2024 vs. $5 million in Q2 2023), we recorded a profit for the period, net of tax, of $15 million compared with $20 million in the same period in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2024 amounted to $16 million, an increase of $0.6 million compared with the same period in 2023.
Cash flows generated from operating activities were $11 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared with $12 million in the same period in 2023.
First half 2024 financial performance
In the first half of 2024, our revenue decreased by $21 million (or 9%) year-over-year and amounted to $213 million. While bookings for the first half of 2024 remained relatively stable, increasing by $2 million, the decrease in revenue compared to the first half of 2023 was primarily driven by a decrease in the recognition of deferred revenues associated with bookings recorded in periods prior to H1 2024: in the first half of 2024, $138 million of revenues resulted from the bookings recorded prior to 2024 compared to $155 million of revenues booked in the first half of 2023 which resulted from bookings recorded prior to 2023. Revenues reported in the first half of 2023, in turn, were impacted by the recognition of record high bookings generated in 2021. The decrease in revenues also reflects the increasing portion of our bookings in Q2 2024 that are required to be recognized as deferred revenue in later periods, as a greater proportion was generated from our PC platform, where players’ lifespan tends to be higher compared with other platforms.
Platform commissions decreased by $10 million (or 18%) in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, driven by a 9% decrease in revenues generated from in-game purchases, and amplified by growth of revenues derived from PC platforms which are associated with lower commissions.
Game operation costs decreased by $3 million, reaching $25 million in the first half of 2024, driven mostly by a decrease in employee headcount in our office in Armenia compared with the same period in 2023.
Selling and marketing expenses in the first half of 2024 decreased by $19 million, amounting to $111 million. The decrease is attributed to a shift in user acquisition strategy focused on enhancing efficiency in the first half of 2024 vs. the same period in 2023.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively stable at $16 million for the first half of 2024 and 2023.
As a result of the factors above, together with other factors (including, principally, (i) a change in fair value of share warrant obligation of $0.3 million in the first half of 2024 vs. $11 million in the first half of 2023, and (ii) other financial income related to the write-off of put option liability of $4 million in the first half of 2024 vs. nil in 2023), we recorded a profit for the period, net of tax, of $13 million compared with $11 million in the same period of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA in the first half of 2024 amounted to $14 million, an increase of $10 million compared with the same period in 2023.
Cash flows generated from operating activities amounted to $12 million in the first half of 2024, an increase from negative $0.1 million in the same period of 2023.

Presentation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures
In addition to the results provided in accordance with IFRS throughout this press release, the Company has provided the non-IFRS financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA” (the “Non-IFRS Financial Measure”). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as the profit/loss for the period, net of tax as presented in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with IFRS, adjusted to exclude (i) goodwill and investments in equity accounted associates’ impairment, (ii) loss on disposal of subsidiaries, (iii) income tax expense, (iv) other financial income, finance income and expenses other than foreign exchange gains and losses and bank charges, (v) change in fair value of share warrant obligations and other financial instruments, (vi) share of loss of equity-accounted associates, (vii) depreciation and amortization, (viii) share-based payments expense and (ix) certain non-cash or other special items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. The Company uses this Non-IFRS Financial Measure for business planning purposes and in measuring its performance relative to that of its competitors. The Company believes that this Non-IFRS Financial Measure is a useful financial metric to assess its operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that the Company believes are not representative of its core business. This Non-IFRS Financial Measure is not intended to replace, and should not be considered superior to, the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with IFRS. The use of the Non-IFRS Financial Measure terms may differ from similar measures reported by other companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures.

Reverse split. On August 21, the company announced a one for ten reverse stock split on its ordinary shares. Notably, the reverse split will be effective following the market close on August 28, and will be adjusted for the split when trading opens on August 29. We view the move favorably as the company sheds its SPAC image.
Positive implications. Management highlighted that the reverse split could improve the marketability and attractiveness of its shares, as an investment grade company that it is. We believe the higher share price could improve investor perception, liquidity and marketability of the GDEV shares and open the company to more institutional interest, with the shares trading above single digit price points.
