Starbreeze operates in the gaming industry and focuses on the development, publishing and distribution of computer games and interactive entertainment. The company's portfolio includes both its own games and collaborations with other game developers. The business is aimed at gamers and distributors globally, with the largest operations in Europe. Starbreeze was founded in 1998 and is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden.

Hi, Unfortunately, there will be no CEO interview following the Q4 report here. Let’s hope for an interview for Q1

Hi, Kommer det någon intervju med VDn nu efter rapporten förra veckan?

Brilliant performance by management and proof that the strategy works, if the goal is to drive the company into bankruptcy. Half of the cash was burned in a year, and at this rate, this was likely the final Q4 report.  Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 102.6 million (191.9). The efficiency measures aren’t showing up in the results at all, and it begs the question: why does the company still have 143 employees? At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before the number of employees is 0.

Here is the company report on Starbreeze from Christoffer and Atte following Q4. Starbreeze reported Q4 revenue significantly weaker than our expectations, and the shortfall was primarily due to particularly weak PAYDAY 3 (“PD3”) revenue. Profitability also fell significantly short of our forecasts, reflecting not only lower revenue but also a cost structure that is adjusting more slowly than expected. Although the Skills 2.0 release was a significant milestone, its minimal impact on player activity and revenue reinforces our view that fundamental engagement challenges remain unresolved. With visibility into work-for-hire now even more limited following management’s cautious commentary and the termination of the KRAFTON partnership, we believe the path to positive cash flow in 2026 has become increasingly uncertain. As Starbreeze operates as a single-IP studio with growing execution pressures, we believe it still has much to prove before a stronger scenario can be priced in with confidence. We reiterate our Reduce recommendation and lower our target price to SEK 0.09 (from SEK 0.14).                   Inderes              Starbreeze Q4'25: Polku eteenpäin on kaventunut - Inderes    Starbreeze raportoi Q4-liikevaihdon jääneen selvästi odotuksistamme, ja alijäämä johtui erityisesti heikosta PAYDAY 3 (”PD3”) -tuotosta.

Christoffer Jennel has written a quick comment on Starbreeze’s Q4 results.  Starbreeze reported Q4 revenue clearly below our expectations, and the miss was mainly due to weaker revenue from PAYDAY 3. Profitability also fell clearly short of our forecasts, reflecting lower revenue and overall higher costs. In our view, the company’s weak result highlights ongoing challenges in PAYDAY 3 player engagement and raises questions about the achievability of the 2026 positive cash flow target. We expect to make downward revisions to our forecasts following the report.                   Inderes              Starbreeze Q4’25 -pikakommentti: Lukemat kauttaaltaan odotuksia matalammat -...    Starbreeze raportoi Q4-liikevaihdon jääneen selvästi odotuksistamme, ja alijäämä johtui pääasiassa heikommasta PAYDAY 3:n tuotosta.

Christoffer has written a preview as Starbreeze reports its Q4 results on Thursday, Feb 19.  We expect the report to show moderate year-on-year revenue growth due to the quarter’s limited content offering and low player activity. While the termination of Project Baxter has streamlined the cost structure, which is expected to improve profitability, we believe the investment case remains heavily dependent on the company’s ability to revitalize player engagement and secure new work-for-hire projects. In the report and webcast, we are looking for comments on potential revenue drivers and the outlook for improved monetization, as well as progress toward positive cash flow in 2026.                   Inderes              Starbreeze Q4'25 -ennakko: Painopisteenä monetisoinnin käynnistimet...    Odotamme raportin osoittavan liikevaihdon vuositason kasvun maltillistuneen johtuen vuosineljänneksen rajallisesta sisällöntuotannosta ja vähäisestä pelaaja-aktiivisuudesta.

Christoffer and Atte have released a new company report on Starbreeze following the Q3 results.  Starbreeze reported Q3 revenue in line with expectations, but adjusted operating profit fell short of expectations primarily due to higher depreciation and amortization. PAYDAY 3 revenue was particularly low relative to our forecasts, but this was offset by the renewed strength of PAYDAY 2 following the introduction of a subscription model. As we understand it, monthly content updates for PD3 will begin from December onwards, and the company is offering shorter, continuous content plans instead of annual plans. However, visibility for new work-for-hire projects remains limited, and as the KRAFTON partnership nears completion, we have lowered our revenue assumptions due to timing effects. This, combined with changes in the expected revenue structure and slightly higher depreciation/amortization, led to downward revisions in our forecasts. Due to PD3’s continued low player activity, we believe the company has a lot to prove before a stronger scenario can be confidently priced in. Despite the low absolute valuation, the lack of clear short-term drivers keeps us on the sidelines. We reiterate our Reduce recommendation and lower our target price to SEK 0.14 (was SEK 0.15).                   Inderes              Starbreeze Q3'25: Näkymää on edelleen vaikea arvioida - Inderes    Starbreeze raportoi odotusten mukaisen Q3-liikevaihdon, mutta oikaistu liikevoitto jäi odotuksista

Starbreeze is in reconstruction as of December 2018 and is in a challenging financial situation.The company has decided to focus on its core business, game development and publishing.  To be able to operate an efficient and profitable business long-term, Starbreeze has decided to implement organizational changes. Today, the Starbreeze group has 240 people employed, and the company has decided to reduce the number of employees by approximately 60. The staff reduction is expected to be fully implemented in November and will correspond to a monthly cost reduction of approximately 3 MSEK. The organizational changes affect the Stockholm office and is carried out in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. "In the past six months we have made a number of changes to the business following our strategy to focus on the core business. We have divested some operations that we consider non-core and we now have to look inward to make the core business more efficient. To make staff reductions is a tough decision to make, but necessary to enable Starbreeze to develop well long-term", says Mikael Nermark, CEO Starbreeze.###
