MTG Q3 Revenue Flat, D2C Reaches 42% of Sales

Swedish gaming holding MTG reported flat net sales of SEK 2.99 billion ($308 million) for Q3 2026, with adjusted EBITDA rising 3% to SEK 693 million ($71 million). Direct-to-consumer (D2C) sales now account for 42% of group revenue, up from 38% in Q2 and 26% a year earlier, driven by Playamp (midcore division) reaching 55% D2C share. Google's new fees on external payment links for US Android players, effective October 1, have partially reduced D2C cost advantages, impacting margins. Playamp's revenue fell 6% pro forma, with declines in Forge of Empires and Warhammer 40k: Tacticus partly offset by Raid: Shadow Legends growth. The company postponed Playsimple's IPO due to Indian market conditions, targeting 2027. MTG also acquired WARP36 and took full ownership of Snowprint. Full-year guidance remains 5-8% pro forma growth, 22-24% EBITDA margin.
