"in a slowly-improving environment, our strategy to invest cautiously in new own-ip with a diversified approach of higher and lower budget is showing good results. we can look to the future with cautious optimism."   enquiries:   tinybuild, inc alex nichiporchik - chief executive officer giasone (jaz) salati - chief financial officer   investorrelations@tinybuild.com   zeus (nominated adviser

40m concurrent players as the industry reboots after a couple of tough years. funding remains scarce and studio closures are still being announced as some of the most ambitious projects fall short of expectations, but the worst seems behind us and those that continued to invest in new ip may reap well-deserved rewards.   over the past few years we have refocused on products that connect with audiences, on infinitely re-playable games centred around systems: the one-thousand hour game. players validated our strategy with the highest amount of steam wishlists tinybuild ever collected on the upcoming pipeline: four games in the top 100 global ranking. as the market evolves, we refined our go-to-market approach using demos and playtests to stay close to our audience ahead of the launch and work hard to fix bugs and prioritise features that affect game reviews after launch. the second edition of tinybuild connect last may was another success introducing new playable versions for ferocious and all will fall, and announcing new games such as trainfort and hozy.   in slowly improving market conditions we are making every effort to remain lean and nimble, keeping a close eye on our costs, which in turns gives us more flexibility on our commercial strategy: we are not afraid to move the release date for a game if we see a strong return on incremental development to meet expectations of increasingly demanding players. since 2023 lots of work has gone into improving internal processes and communication: ownership of each line of budget and timeliness of internal gives everyone more time to act in an over-crowded industry.   in the first half, back catalogue and own-ip titles contributed 100% and 85% of gaming revenue, respectively, (h1 2024: 89% and 78%), broadly in line with the average of the past five years. the pipeline of new titles has been realigned to maximise the long-term revenue and profitability potential, while maintaining a well-diversified portfolio.   current portfolio and pipeline releases in the first half of 2025: ●    deadside (console) - open‑world survival shooter with persistent pvpve (player vs player vs environment), base‑building and tactical gunplay. ●    level zero: extraction (version 1.0) - an asymmetrical pvpve extraction shooter that blends survival‑horror tension with objective‑driven looting and exfiltration. ●    deep cuts (vr) - a physics‑driven vr action‑adventure that drops players onto living movie sets, mixing melee, gunplay and light puzzle‑solving in a "play‑the‑scene" structure.   after the end of the period, tinybuild published: ●     the king is watching - roguelite kingdom‑builder where production only runs under your "royal gaze," creating tight, replayable trade‑offs between economy and defence. ●    drill core (version 1.0) - strategic 2d "platform‑miner" sim/ roguelite about running planetary drilling operations, balancing crew management, tech upgrades, and defences against alien threats. ●    duckside (console) - persistent‑world survival shooter where you literally play as armed ducks, combining pvpve combat, base‑building, and mission‑driven progression.   looking ahead, tinybuild has the strongest pipeline it has ever had: ●    kingmakers - action-strategy sandbox where modern firearms and co‑op command tools reshape medieval mass battles with thousands of units. ●    hello neighbor 3 - systems‑driven stealth‑adventure in a simulated open town where emergent puzzles and social ai drive infiltration and escape. ●    ferocious - survival fps on a hostile prehistoric island, blending exploration, crafting, and high‑intensity firefights against dinosaurs and mercenaries. ●    sand - open‑world pvpve extraction shooter on a fallen desert planet, anchored by customizable walking‑base "tramplers" for traversal, combat, and extraction. ●    all will fall - physics‑driven ocean‑city builder where every structure can collapse, forcing disciplined resource management and risk‑aware vertical construction. ●    of ash and steel - third‑person, low‑fantasy open‑world rpg emphasizing methodical melee combat, unguided exploration, and old‑school progression without quest markers. ●    streets of rogue 2 - procedural, systems‑heavy open world that supports multiple playstyles-sneak, fight, trade, build, or farm-within a chaotic immersive‑sim sandbox. ●    speedrunners 2 - competitive side‑scrolling racing/platformer sequel with 8‑player lobbies and a new 64‑player tournament format for large‑scale events. ●    trainfort - co‑op survival‑crafting game about dwarven nomads building a mobile train‑base to traverse a vast, post‑apocalyptic world in search of resources. ●    hozy - cozy renovation sim focused on cleaning, refurbishing, and decorating neglected interiors with straightforward tools and high "before/after" payoff. ●    i am future (console) - cozy post-apocalyptic survival/crafting on flooded city rooftops; build and decorate a base, farm and fish, tinker with gadgets, and automate chores with helper robots. ●    voin (version 1.0) - fast first‑person hack‑and‑slash action‑rpg with loot‑driven builds and expanding regions like the "permafrost" zone adding progression and late‑game challenges.   investing and innovating for growth the group continuously reviews the allocation of resources to maximise the potential of each game during the development process. since before the ipo, tinybuild's mantra has been to maintain a well-diversified portfolio of own-ip that can be scaled into cross-media franchises, and we remain loyal to that.   strict discipline on investments goes hand in hand with nimble and decentralised structure. at a time when most are re-trenching on their catalogue, the company proved it is capable of delivering high-quality new-ip and minimise the setbacks. the launch of the king is watching is a good example of how the company's sophisticated marketing strategy can attract a large audience even for a brand-new franchise.   our focus has been on cash generation and financial stability. the executive team is more selective about signing up new titles, while an uncertain macroeconomic environment creates many opportunities. the disposal of red cerberus (2 april 2025) refocused the company on its' core competencies, with more direct investments in high-potential studios.   people excluding the disposal of red cerberus, the number of staff remained broadly stable in 2025 at nearly 200. project and budget ownership means it is even easier to spot and reward talent across the group, which translates in a high retention rate.   tinybuild continues to support all its staff (employees and independent contractors) and their families affected by the war in ukraine and it continues to carefully monitor the situation. having helped staff move out of the riskiest areas, the group remains focused on mental health and administrative support so they can settle in their preferred location across europe.   position and strategy tinybuild is well-positioned with a strong pipeline of new titles and a proven ability to attract, screen and market high-quality game franchises. our balanced investment strategy aims at building a diversified portfolio of high-potential own-ip, and our multimedia franchise model allows us to extend the life of our ip, maximising our return on investment.   our medium-term strategy is to expand our position as a leading global video games developer and publisher, focussing on ip ownership while creating long-term scalable franchises across multiple media formats. 2025 has seen significant progress towards that ambition, and i would like to thank all of our staff for their amazing contribution and our shareholders for their support.   alex nichiporchik chief executive officer 16 september 2025     financial review   results for the six months ended june 2025 were ahead of expectations, in a market that remains extremely competitive. the group continued to strengthen its financial position, including the disposal of red cerberus (qa subsidiary in brazil), and had $4.6m in cash and cash equivalents (no debt) at the end of the period.   revenue in the six months to june 2025, tinybuild revenues from continuing operations (excluding red cerberus) were $17.0m, broadly even compared to the previous period (h1 2024: $16.8m). back catalogue performed particularly strongly in the first half, with the successful release of deadside on console, supported by over 90 titles and by well-established franchises such as hello neighbor, graveyard keeper, potion craft and streets of rogue. revenue from events, primarily devgamm, increased slightly at $0.8m as the group consolidated its presence in central and western europe.   adjusted ebitda and operating profit adjusted ebitda is presented net of amortisation of development costs, excluding impairment of development costs, share-based compensation expenses, exceptional costs (e.g. legal costs related to m&a) and other operating income, giving a clear yet conservative picture of the business progression. adjusted ebitda from continuing operations for h1 2025 was positive $4.2m ($2.3m loss in h1 of 2024), reflecting stable revenues, a more favourable revenue mix (85% own-ip revenues vs 78% in h1 2024) and the full benefit of a lower cost base, along with lower amortisation of development costs ($3.9m in h1 2025 vs $4.5m in h1 2024).   operating profit from continuing operations for h1 2025 was positive $3.6m (h1 2024: $6.6m loss), after accounting for the $1.1m impairment of development costs (h1 2024: $3.0m). excluding the impairment charges, a higher ebitda is derived by lower general and administrative expenses ($7.3m in h1 2025 compared with $10.5m in h1 2024) following the reduction in workforce undertaken in 2024.   finance costs and taxation as the group carries no debt, finance costs were immaterial in h1 2025. taxation charges were $0.3m (h1 2024: $0.3m).   impairment in h1 2025, tinybuild incurred $1.1m charges relating to the impairment of development costs ($3.0m in h1 2024).   cash flow cash flows from operating activities were $6.8m ($2.0m in h1 2024), including a $3.0m decrease in net working capital (h1 2024: $1.4m decrease). software development costs, mainly consisting of developer salaries, advances, localisation and porting, decreased 29% to $6.2m ($8.7m in h1 2024), reflecting the rationalisation in investment for upcoming pipeline releases.   employee incentive plan and ebt update the employee benefit trust continued to hold a total of 3,937,587 ordinary shares as at 16 september  2025. the ebt was set up in 2022 for the benefit of current and future employees and will continue to act independently of the company to satisfy potential share awards and future option exercises, once vested.   as previously announced, the remuneration committee of tinybuild intends to utilise share awards to incentivise and retain key employees and executive directors and further announcements are expected to be made in the near term. the share awards not only encourage share ownership and stakeholder alignment in the business but also serves to preserve cash resources that would otherwise be used by the company to satisfy bonus awards.   financial position the net cash position at the end of june 2025 was $4.6m ($3.1m at the end of december 2024), with the majority of the variation driven by the $1.0m net proceeds from the disposal of red cerberus in april 2025.   giasone (jaz) salati chief financial officer 16 september 2025                              tinybuild inc.   unaudited interim results   for
