Sales (EUR million) 2013 2012 Variation
1st Quarter 54.2 44.8 +21%
2nd Quarter 55.2 50.4 +10%
3rd Quarter 61.7 55.4 +11%
First Nine Months 171.0 150.6 +14%
Sales continue to be driven by the worldwide success of Gameloft games on
smartphones and tablets. Gameloft's third quarter sales on smartphones and
tablets grew by 31% year on year. They represented 69% of total Group sales
compared with 58% in the third quarter of 2012.
Gameloft's rapid growth is also driven by the success of the free-to-play
business model: sales of virtual goods and advertising currently account for
80% of the company's smartphone revenues. This free-toplay model enables
Gameloft to reach very large audiences. In the last 30 days, no less than 140
million people have played a Gameloft game on their smartphone or tablet. This
model also increases the longevity of the company's products. Games launched
prior to 2013 accounted for more than 80% of the company's revenues in the
first nine months of 2013.
The company therefore confirms its target to reach between EUR235 million and
EUR240 million in sales for the full year of 2013, as well as an increase of
profitability and net cash.
The Group's 2013 annual sales will be published on January 28, 2014, after the
market closes.
