Everplay Group plc, a leading global indie developer and publisher of premium video games, working simulation games, and childrens edutainment apps, reported its unaudited final results for the year ended 31 December 2025. The company achieved double-digit profit growth and strong margin expansion, supported by growth in new release revenues and successful platform partnerships. Revenue remained flat at £166.0 million, but gross profit increased by 10% to £76.3 million, and adjusted EBITDA rose by 11% to £48.5 million. The company continued its strategic priorities, including new first-party IP releases and acquisitions of IP and back-catalogue publishing rights. Everplay released 11 new titles, entered partnerships with major platforms like Netflix Games and Nintendo Switch 2, and made strategic acquisitions, including a minority stake in Super Media Group and the rights to the Hammerwatch franchise. The companys financial performance was driven by strong new release revenues, up 80%, and a resilient back catalogue, which accounted for 75% of total revenues. Everplay ended the year with a cash balance of £51.9 million and declared a final ordinary dividend of 1.9 pence per share. The company is optimistic about its outlook, with an exciting pipeline of new games and apps for FY 2026, and expects to achieve results in line with market expectations.
