CEO Bo Andersson Klint remarks on the report:
In an all-time high, we generated sales of SEK 123.5 million in the second quarter. Even though we did not release any new products during the quarter, we matched our sales record set in Q2 2017 when we had two major game releases. Starbreeze has dramatically boosted profitability since the agreement to sell back the publishing rights to Dead by Daylight. Compared to last year, we have improved EBITDA by SEK 55.1 million, largely due to the Dead by Daylight deal.
