Källa: MFN
Negativ

Sammanfattning

Coffee Stain Group redovisar en försäljningsökning på 19% till 267 MSEK i Q2 2026, drivet av lanseringen av Valheim på nya plattformar. Dock minskade EBIT kraftigt till 8 MSEK (44 MSEK) med en marginal på 3% (20%).

Analys

Bolaget uppvisar en stark försäljningstillväxt tack vare Valheim-lanseringen, men lönsamheten har tagit en betydande smäll. Den lägre EBIT-marginalen förklaras av en högre andel intäkter från Valheim där intäkterna delas med utvecklaren Iron Gate. Minskad försäljning från Deep Rock Galactic och Welcome to Bloxburg påverkar också negativt.

VD-ord

Valheim drev tillväxten med ökad försäljning tack vare lanseringar på nya plattformar. Marginalen minskade p.g.a. intäktsdelning. Fokus ligger på att återställa tillväxten för Deep Rock Galactic och Welcome to Bloxburg.

Utsikter: Ser potential i etablerade spel och nya idéer, med fokus på att ge teamen utrymme att skapa och ta kalkylerade risker.

CEO COMMENTSValheim drove growth in the quarterNet sales increased by 19% to SEK 267 million (224) in the second quarter, driven by Valheim’s 1.0 release and its launch on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in September. After years in Early Access, the full release was an important milestone for us, Iron Gate and the players who have supported the game. The additional platforms also brought Valheim to new audiences.

Cash EBIT amounted to SEK 75 million (69), with a margin of 28% (31%). The lower margin reflects a higher share of sales from Valheim, where we share revenue with Iron Gate. Free cash flow after working capital amounted to SEK 68 million (78).

Baseline net sales slightly declined, mainly due to lower sales from Deep Rock Galactic and Welcome to Bloxburg. These games are important to our business, and returning them to growth is a priority. The teams are developing new content and adjusting their update plans based on player feedback and engagement and we hope to see that work translate into stronger performance.Game portfolioOn September 29, we held The Big Break Showcase, sharing upcoming content for Satisfactory, Deep Rock Galactic and Goat Simulator 3, alongside new games from our studios and publishing partners..

One of the highlights was Core Values, Satisfactory’s upcoming paid expansion, which It takes factory building underground. We are building a substantial addition to the game with a clear goal: to make it worth our players’ time and money. It was fun to see the community show great response to the reveal, which bodes well for the future release.

Ghost Ship Games presented plans for the Deep Rock Galactic franchise and upcoming publishing titles. The original game will receive two new free seasons and its first paid DLC expansion, planned for summer 2027. Together, these give players more reasons to return and are an important part of our work to bring the franchise back to growth.

Goat Simulator remains one of our largest contributors, more than a decade after the original release. New content, broad platform availability and commercial partnerships have helped extend the franchise’s life. A platform agreement contributed to sales this quarter, and Goat Simulator 3’s next major DLC, Ticket to Dizzyworld, is scheduled for November 19.Looking aheadThere’s a lot of things going on right now in Coffee Stain Group. New technology is changing how games can be made and I am excited about what it can do for our small teams. Used well, these tools can help us do things that were previously out of reach and give us more time for work that calls for creativity and judgment.

I see further potential in our established games and the new ideas our teams are developing. Realising it means taking considered risks and giving our teams room to create. We will be honest about the results, change course when something is not working and back the ideas that show promise.
