TSG Group’s Q1 2025 financial results: strong profitability and solid cash generation despite market and product challenges
In Q1 2025, Ten Square Games demonstrated the strength of its business model by delivering strong profitability and solid cash flow despite a decline in bookings from its main titles. It was a period of intense focus on product quality, finalizing the roadmap for necessary changes in each project, and conducting large-scale testing of new features. The company continues to lay the groundwork for improved monetization over the long term. At the same time, TSG Store delivered record results, and the development of two prototypes accelerated.
TSG Group in Q1 2025
In Q1 2025, bookings across the Group’s games totaled PLN 90.5 million, marking a decline compared to both Q4 and Q1 2024. This was primarily due to decreases in the Group’s two main titles. At the same time, both Wings of Heroes and Real Flight Simulator maintained their positive momentum, recording growth in bookings.
Adjusted EBITDA came in at PLN 30.5 million, representing a 7.5% increase q-o-q and an 11.0% increase y-o-y. This result was largely driven by the decision to reduce marketing spend. While this decision has a short-term negative impact on bookings, it is expected to improve the effectiveness of future user acquisition investments over the long term.
The Group continues to closely monitor and optimize its operating costs. As a result, TSG Group reported a net profit of PLN 27.5 million for the reporting period – significantly higher than in both Q4 and Q1 2024. A key strength of the Group’s business model remains its robust cash-generating capacity. As of the end of Q1 2025, TSG Group held cash and cash equivalents of PLN 172.4 million.
– Q1 2025 brought mixed results for our operations. On one hand, we recorded weaker performance in our two main titles, due to the slower-than-expected pace of implementing changes. On the other hand, we delivered strong financial results, achieved a record-high share of TSG Store in Group bookings, continued growth in Wings of Heroes and Real Flight Simulator, and intensified prototypes development. Despite the challenges in our core titles, we believe in the chosen strategy and are already seeing the first positive effects – even if they are not yet reflected in financial results. In the near term, our goal is to improve team efficiency and consistently build the foundation for the Group’s long-term value growth.” – said Andrzej Ilczuk, CEO of Ten Square Games S.A.
Flagship titles: laying the foundation for future growth
In Q1 2025, the teams behind Fishing Clash and Hunting Clash focused on improving player retention and enhancing the overall user experience. Bookings in both titles were affected by a reduced number of new locations added to the games compared to previous quarters, as well as a strategic reduction in marketing spend. The implementation of structural changes in both projects is taking longer than originally planned, meaning their impact will become visible at a later stage. As a result, bookings in Fishing Clash dropped to PLN 52.6 million, and in Hunting Clash to PLN 18.6 million.
The reduced marketing spend stemmed from the broad scope of changes being implemented in the core titles, which focused primarily on player retention and engagement. At the same time, work was underway to prepare both games for further changes in monetization. Investments in user acquisition during this period would not have delivered the expected return, which is why both teams focused on reworking the early stages of gameplay – the first 7 days of a player’s experience. The goal of these changes is to increase new user retention, establish regular gameplay habits, and better tailor offers to players at various levels of experience. By introducing advanced segmentation and personalizing the player experience, the Group expects to improve key monetization metrics in the long run, enabling a return to increased advertising spend on user acquisition above the levels seen in Q1 2025.
Wings of Heroes maintained its strong growth momentum, with bookings reaching PLN 7.3 million (+2.9% q-o-q; +149.5% y-o-y). The game received a range of technical and functional improvements. The most significant changes focused on the early stages of gameplay to make it easier for new players to get started. The team also worked on implementing a Battle Pass system – a new player progression path which launched on April 1.
Real Flight Simulator also sustained its positive trend in bookings, which reached PLN 5.3 million in Q1 2025 – up by 1.1% q-o-q and 6.8% y-o-y.
TSG Store: record results and a growing role in the Group’s business model
TSG Store has become one of the key pillars supporting the Group’s profitability. In March 2025, the platform’s share of the Group’s total bookings exceeded 19%. In the case of Fishing Clash, not only was the 25% target share reached in February 2025, but it was also surpassed in March, reaching over 26%. Intensified efforts by the Hunting Clash team since the beginning of the year translated into a strong increase in TSG Store’s share of that game’s bookings – reaching 17.5% in March. TSG Store achieved its best results in history, both overall and across individual products.
Ongoing development efforts and recent regulatory changes that expand developers’ ability to promote their own sales platforms significantly boost the potential for further growth of TSG Store’s share in Group bookings in the coming quarters.
New Games: Trophy Hunter nears global launch, real Combat Simulator advances
Around the turn of Q2 and Q3 of 2025, Trophy Hunter – a new hunting title from the TSG portfolio – is set to launch globally. The game targets a broader, more casual audience than Hunting Clash. It is a dynamic, skill-based game featuring fast-paced gameplay and progression centered around arena-based duels. Trophy Hunter uses a hybrid monetization model combining in-app purchases with ads and includes robust social features designed to foster an active player community.
At the same time, Real Combat Simulator, developed by TSG’s Italian studio Rortos, continues to evolve. In recent months, the game has been enhanced with additional aircraft models – M346, F18, and A10 – as well as new gameplay features. A multiplayer mode, planned for release in June, is expected to significantly boost the game’s appeal. The team is also working on communication systems between pilots and refining the realism of all gameplay elements. In addition, work is underway on a dedicated tutorial for new players entering the world of advanced flight simulators. The game is currently in a testing phase and is steadily approaching commercial readiness.
Incentive program and profit distribution to shareholders
In May 2025, the General Meeting of Shareholders approved a new incentive program for the years 2025 – 2029, aimed at increasing the Company’s value and market capitalization. The program consists of three tranches, each tied to a three-year period: 2025–2027 (Tranche I), 2026–2028 (Tranche II), and 2027–2029 (Tranche III). Participants may be granted up to 323.8 thousand shares in total – equivalent to approximately 5% of TSG’s share capital – provided that two independent conditions are met: a financial performance condition (weighted at 80%) and a market-based condition (weighted at 20%).
The performance condition for Tranche I assumes the achievement of an ambitious, cumulative Adjusted EBITDA target of PLN 438 million for the years 2025 – 2027. The market-based condition requires that TSG’s share price on the Warsaw Stock Exchange outperform the WIG index by at least 10 percentage points during the respective period.
-In 2025, we’re executing many key projects simultaneously. Our top priorities are changes in our core games and ensuring continued development of Wings of Heroes. These initiatives demand full team focus. At the same time, we’re intensively working on the development of two new prototypes – both of which currently rely primarily on internal resources rather than significant financial investment. This allows us to responsibly consider larger investments in new ventures no earlier than next year. That’s why we’ve decided to recommend a record dividend payout to our shareholders. – said Andrzej Ilczuk, CEO of Ten Square Games.
The General Meeting approved the Management Board’s recommendation to pay out PLN 100 million in dividends. The dividend record date is June 20, 2025, with the payment scheduled for June 27, 2025.

Esportes da Sorte strengthens brand presence during New Year’s Eve celebrations across four Brazilian capitals
Esportes da Sorte, one of Brazil’s leading online betting platforms, will be the official sponsor of New Year’s Eve celebrations in four Brazilian capitals: Salvador, Recife, Natal and Maceió. The initiative reinforces the brand’s growing presence in the national cultural calendar and its strategy to connect with large-scale public celebrations beyond the digital environment.
New Year’s Eve is one of Brazil’s most significant annual moments, marked by intense domestic travel, international tourism and mass public participation. By supporting celebrations in four key destinations, Esportes da Sorte aligns its brand with tradition, culture and shared experiences that resonate deeply with local communities.
“Sponsoring New Year’s Eve celebrations in four capitals reflects our commitment to being present in moments that bring people together,” said Marcela Campos, Vice President of the Esportes Gaming Brasil Group, owner of the Esportes da Sorte brand. “Supporting these cities means valuing their cultural identity, strengthening local ecosystems and celebrating the people who keep these traditions alive year after year.”
Across all four capitals, the brand will activate its presence through immersive experiences, public-facing activations and the distribution of branded giveaways — a hallmark of Esportes da Sorte’s engagement strategy at major events. The activations are designed to enhance the festive atmosphere while reinforcing the brand’s connection with culture, entertainment and responsible enjoyment.
The New Year’s Eve sponsorships build on Esportes da Sorte’s broader cultural engagement strategy, which includes long-standing support for large-scale events such as Carnatal, in Rio Grande do Norte — a key fixture in the state’s tourism and cultural calendar. Together, these initiatives reflect the company’s commitment to expanding its footprint in cultural sponsorships nationwide.
Esportes da Sorte’s participation also mirrors a wider trend within Brazil’s regulated betting market, as operators increasingly diversify their sponsorship portfolios beyond football. Music, festivals and cultural celebrations have become strategic platforms for brands seeking broader visibility, deeper community ties and more sustainable engagement with the public.
