Vækstaktier

Trophy Games meddeler i dag, at de har opkøbt 80% af aktierne i PIU-PIU LT, som er en spiludvikler i Litauen.

Trophy Games har købt aktierne for 300.000 EUR svarende til omkring 2,2 mio. kroner, hvilket Trophy Games betaler fuldt ud i kontanter. Opkøbet vil styrke Trophy Games’ portefølje af spil, hvor PIU-PIU LT har spillet SkyHaven, som er i early acces på Steam, og er selskabets eneste titel indtil videre. PIU-PIU LT har et team bestående af fem medarbejdere, som alle vil blive i selskabet og integreret i Trophy Games’ organisation.

Trophy Games har desuden styrket sit ledelsesteam i dag, hvor Theis Barenkopf Dinesen er blevet udnævnt som COO. Tidligere var Theis Organizational Progress and Collaboration Manager hos Trophy Games, og har dermed allerede et indgående kendskab til virksomheden.

CEO for Trophy Games, Søren Gleie udtaler ifm. opkøbet af PIU-PIU LT:

PIU-PIU LT has built the game SkyHaven, which has potential to be best-in-class within the airport tycoon genre which are aimed towards PC. The initial early access release on Steam has been troubled, by the game sales not living up to its expectations. We believe that we can turn this around and build a successful franchise – with the founders – for many years to come.

We have seen similar competitor games sell for up to DKK 20m in their first year on Steam, which indicates a great potential in this market. We do not expect the upcoming release to go close to that, however over time, we think we can build a healthy business that is supported by cross promotion from Airline Manager. We estimate SkyHaven to sell for DKK 1-5m during the first year after full release.
