Nitro Games Oyj has emerged from the first quarter of 2025 with a mixed bag of results. The Finnish game developer reported revenues of €2.4 million, a dip from €2.7 million in the same period last year. The numbers tell a story of resilience, adaptation, and the relentless pursuit of growth in a competitive landscape.
The company’s EBITDA also fell, landing at €416,000 compared to €599,000 a year prior. The EBIT followed suit, dropping to €87,000 from €159,000. The net result was €58,000, down from €107,000. Earnings per share remained stagnant at zero. Cash reserves stood at €1.09 million, with an additional €1.41 million in short-term receivables. These figures paint a picture of a company grappling with challenges but still managing to stay afloat.
One significant event loomed over the quarter: Netflix's cancellation of an unannounced game project with Nitro Games. This setback could be likened to a storm cloud on an otherwise sunny day. The loss of a potential partnership with a major player like Netflix raises questions about the future trajectory of Nitro Games. Yet, the company has shown it can weather storms.
Despite the challenges, Nitro Games launched a public demo of "Autogun Heroes: Supercharged" and announced a new game, "Pistolo," set to debut at Pistolo.com. These moves indicate a commitment to innovation and expansion. The gaming industry is a fast-moving river, and Nitro is determined to navigate its currents.
The CEO, Jussi Tähtinen, expressed optimism about the company's future. He highlighted the importance of their portfolio strategy and adaptability. The focus on action and shooter games aligns with current market trends. As demand for these genres grows, Nitro Games is poised to capitalize on it.
