“In the second quarter of 2023, we continued to deliver on our communicated agenda from our capital markets day in February with a focus on growing profitability and cash flows. Stillfront’s net revenue was stable year-over-year at 1,812 MSEK in the quarter, while Adjusted EBITDAC grew by 32 percent to 516 MSEK and Adjusted EBITDA by 11 percent to 708 MSEK, corresponding to all-time highs for both metrics. The increased profitability was driven by an increasing share of direct-to-consumer bookings, continued cost optimization, and lower levels of user acquisition and capitalized development costs. We continued to generate strong cash flow across the group and free cash flow in the second quarter increased by 51 percent year-over-year to 363 MSEK.”
