Financial highlights of the first half ended September 30, 2025
Wade Rosen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented: “The first half of the year saw a continued sustained activity across all our lines of business, positioning Atari on a continued growth trajectory and continued improvement of our operational performance. In line with the seasonality of the industry, we are confident that the second half of the year will deliver another robust performance, driven by the release of key titles and opportunities provided by the holiday season.” BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE HALF YEAR PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 GAMES During the six-month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company executed a robust release schedule across its development studios and publishing labels. This activity highlights a multi-platform strategy targeting PC and console with both digital and physical releases as well as platform partnerships. The Atari label expanded its portfolio with six releases during the period. This included strategic launches onto subscription platforms with RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic on APPLE Arcade (April 2025) and Missile Command: Recharged on the Netflix Game Night cloud gaming service (September 2025). The label also executed broad multi-platform launches for new and classic IP, including I, Robot (April 2025), Missile Command Delta (July 2025), and Adventure of Samsara (September 2025), all of which were released across PC and major console platforms.

The Infogrames label continued supporting its portfolio with the release of the Totally Reliable Delivery Service: Atari Attire DLC for the PC platform in July 2025. This was followed by the launch of the console edition of Wizordum in September 2025, in partnership with Apogee.

During the period the label continued its development on a number of unannounced titles in addition to preparing for the launch of the greatly anticipated release of Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection in October 2025. HARDWARE Expanding the Atari “Plus” hardware ecosystem, the Company announced the Atari x PAC-MAN Collection, a strategic collaboration with Bandai Namco. This collection features a specialized yellow Atari 2600 console, branded peripherals, and the new PAC-MAN: Double Feature cartridge, which combines the original 2600 home version with a new 7800 arcade-style iteration. The partnership also introduces standalone cartridges for Galaga, Dig Dug, and Xevious. Pre-orders opened on July 23, 2025, with a commercial launch planned for Holiday 2025 via Atari.com and global distribution partner Plaion.

Pre-orders for the device opened in September 2025, featuring a 7-inch screen and unique built-in controls (Trak-Ball, paddle, and keypad) to support a pre-loaded library of over 200 games.

As of September 30, 2025, Atari's total assets stood at €94.6M. Non-current assets represent €74.4M against €61.4M as of March 31, 2025. The change is mainly due to the increase in intangible assets ( €1.4M) resulting from the continued development of new games as well as the purchase of certain games and intellectual property rights during the period, and the contribution of Thunderful ( €2.4M). At this stage, no intangible assets related to Thunderful have been recognized on a preliminary approach given the recent investment. It is intended to recognize and allocate Thunderful's intangible assets at their fair value upon finalization of the purchase price allocation for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. Goodwill for the period is €26.7M, an increase of €8.5M after the recognition of a preliminary Goodwill related to the investment in Thunderful (€10.0M) and FX impact. Current assets increased from €15.8M to €20.2M over the period, notably due to the growth in trade receivables, the majority of which relates to revenue due from digital distribution partners and advances on royalties accounted under other current assets. Equity at the end of the period stands at €1.1M. Non-current liabilities decreased from €57.1M to €23.3M, and include notably the non-current part of earnout liabilities related to the different acquisitions completed, and outstanding loans between Atari SA, its subsidiaries, and IRATA LLC (which were partially redeemed through a capital increase on August 7, 2025). Current liabilities increased to €70.2M over the period from €21.9M and are mainly composed of a €30M convertible loan that comes to maturity in July 2026, as well as the current portion of loans with IRATA and other private debt holders. As of the end of the period, a total of €5.3M of deferred revenues has been recorded, resulting notably from pre-order activity on Games and Hardware initiatives concluded in the first half of the year by Atari, and which will be recognized as revenues throughout the second half of the fiscal year. As of September 30, 2025, total Financial liabilities stood at €57.5M, compared to €52.8M as of March 31, 2025. The total outstanding amount of loans between Atari, its affiliates, and IRATA LLC stands at €14.8M at the end of the period (versus €22M as of end of March 2025). The evolution reflects the €14.1M repayment of certain loans by way of a capital increase as well as additional loans concluded during the period for operating and acquisition purposes ( €7.3M). During the period, a total amount of $3.2M in loans has been concluded between Atari Interactive and private financial partners[3]. Financial debt at the end of the period takes into account the consolidation of debt contracted by Thunderful with financial institutions for an amount of €7.5M. Cash flow from operations was positive at €1.8M, reflecting improved operational efficiency. Net investing outflows of -€1.3M mainly reflect ongoing development and asset purchases aimed at further expanding the games catalog as well as Thunderful's investment. Financing inflows totalled €6.1M, mainly consisting of loans concluded between Atari SA, its subsidiaries, and its reference shareholder IRATA LLC, as well as with certain private financial investors during the period. OUTLOOK In line with the seasonality of the industry, Atari expects the activity to be stronger in the second half of the year and continue on its high growth strategy, notably given the contribution of games releases since the end of September and projects yet to be released in the course of the fiscal year. As of today, in the light of the performance recorded since the end of the first half of the year, the limited visibility over the ongoing holiday season and new releases that are expected in the last quarter of the year, Atari continues to anticipate reaching revenues of approximately $60M for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, driving Atari towards positive Current operating income and Operating cash flow generation on a full year basis. Additionally, Atari will also continue to selectively consider potential acquisitions, minority investments in companies offering value-added solutions, and acquisitions of games that further complement the portfolio of intellectual property.
