Market capitalisation

PLN329m

Founded in 2002, CI Games is a Warsaw-based developer and publisher of AAA multi-platform video games for a global audience. It specialises in first person shooter and action-driven titles and owns IP including the Sniper: Ghost Warrior and Lords of the Fallen franchises.

The global video games market is set for robust market growth driven by a confluence of trends, including AI, cloud gaming and other tools that can extend the lifetime value of a game and enable greater player immersion. Valuations are normalising after pandemic highs as consumers become more selective amid macroeconomic uncertainty, increasing pressure on developers to create hit titles that drive long-term engagement.

Financials

FY23 was a pivotal year for CI Games following the release of Lords of the Fallen (LotF), with 1.3m unit sales driving a 332% y-o-y increase in group revenue to PLN245m, ahead of our forecast. Major LotF updates to ensure frictionless and enhanced gameplay underpin rising positive sentiment, and its next major modification could stimulate further player engagement. This is a key step to supporting our sales forecasts as its next release, Project Survive, is not due until FY25. We note that the group’s back catalogue has historically delivered robust sales in years with no new releases and we expect this to continue with LotF. As planned, cash generated from LotF meant CI Games repaid its two financing facilities in January 2024 and we maintain our forecast debt free position by end-FY24.
