Historic collaborations include titles like Jericho, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Planet51, FIFA and Dead Space, to name a few. “The acquisition of Stage Clear Studios is fully in line with our strategy to grow our Games segment and the Group as a whole. Stage Clear are versatile: they’ve shown over the years that they can develop, improve and port ongoing projects, but they’re also working on interesting game projects of their own. The acquisition strengthens our international position, broadens our network towards more development studios and creates synergies within the Group’s development and publishing operations. We welcome our new co-workers in Madrid, who will work closely with their colleagues in the Nordics, UK and Germany”, says CEO Brjann Sigurgeirsson of Thunderful Group.

In addition to the initial consideration an additional earn-out component of maximum EUR 1.5 million can be paid out in cash provided that certain agreed-upon operational targets are met until June 30, 2025.The total maximum consideration for the transaction is therefore EUR 2.5 million. During the period of January-December 2021, Stage Clear Studios is expected to generate net sales to the order of EUR 2–2.3 million and an EBIT of EUR 0.5–0.6 million. Stage Clear Studios remains an independent game development company, and will be reported as part of the Thunderful Games segment. ”In Spain we say that there are trains in life that you have to catch, and the opportunity to be part of Thunderful Group is such a train. When I met the Thunderful management and they told me about their plans, I knew we had to be part of it. We are very proud and excited to start this new adventure in Thunderful Group!” says Stage Clear Studios CEO and co-founder Daniel Santos Fonseca. THURSDAY 02.09.2021 SHARE THIS NEWS!
