For the financial year ended March 31, 2026, the Group generated revenue of €56.0M, compared with €33.6M in the prior year — growth of 66% at current exchange rates, or 80% at constant currency. The figure includes €11.8M contributed by Thunderful, which was fully consolidated from September 1, 2025.

  • Games revenue rose 67.7% to €46.1M, from €27.5M, driven by new digital and physical releases, projects with major platform partners, and active management of a growing back catalog.

  • Hardware revenue for the year increased to €7.3M compared to €4.0M in the previous year, an 83% increase. This increase was primarily driven by the sales of the Atari 2600+/7800+ PAC-MAN Edition, Intellivision Sprint consoles, as well as the continued expansion of the Atari "Plus" line and the sale of hardware products and cartridges on Atari's direct-to-consumer channel as well as with distribution partners.
  • Licensing revenue for the year increased from €2.1M to €2.5M, a 20% growth, as Atari continues to build partnerships with highly recognized brands and develops sales opportunities for its licensed products through its direct-to-consumer channel.

Costs of Goods Sold increased from €8.9M to €14.2M (including €2.5M cost of goods from Thunderful) and mainly consists of royalties on game sales and cost of goods for Hardware products sold on Atari.com. Gross margin for the year is 75%, or €41.8M (vs 73.5% or €24.7M in the previous year).

Research and development expenses increased from €16.2M to €19.7M, reflecting €3.5M of Thunderful R&D expenses; excluding Thunderful, Atari's R&D expense was unchanged at €16.2M. Marketing and selling expenses rose from €1.8M to €6.3M, driven mainly by higher media spend supporting new Game releases and new Hardware and Licensed product launches on Atari.com, together with €1.9M of Thunderful marketing expenses related to new game releases. General and administrative expenses increased to €22.5M from €7.5M in the previous year, mainly due to the impact of Thunderful (€11.5M, mainly related to labor costs) and the strengthening of Atari resources across all entities to support its growth trajectory.

Current Operating Income excluding the contribution of Thunderful, showed a significant improvement at positive €0.9M, compared to -€0.8M in the previous year, demonstrating Atari's favorable operating leverage. Including the contribution of Thunderful, Consolidated Current Operating Income for the year was -€6.7M.

Operating Income, excluding the contribution of Thunderful, improved significantly against previous year at +€3.9M (vs -€3.9M), mainly due to the recognition of a non-cash €4.4M bargain purchase resulting from Thunderful business combination. Including the effects of Thunderful, Consolidated Operating Income for the year was -€3.7M.

Net Income also improves significantly at €0.1M compared to -€12.6M in the previous year for the Atari perimeter, given the effects described above. Including the contribution of Thunderful, Consolidated Net Income for the year was -€4.8M.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND CASH FLOW

As of March 31, 2026, Atari's total assets stood at €105.1M, compared with €77.1M a year earlier. Non-current assets rose to €81.6M from €61.4M, mainly reflecting the increase in other intangible assets to €46.2M (from €27.3M) through continued game development and IP acquisitions and the consolidation of Thunderful. Goodwill was €17.1M (from €18.2M due to currency exchange effects). Current assets increased to €23.6M from €15.8M, driven by higher trade receivables and other current assets.

Total equity was positive at €3.0M, compared with -€1.9M a year earlier, reflecting share issues during the year (including €13.9M of loans from IRATA LLC repaid in August 2025 through the issuance of 97.7M new shares), partially offset by the full-year loss, foreign exchange effects, and fair-value adjustments on certain minority investments. Non-current liabilities decreased to €13.8M from €57.1M, while current liabilities increased to €88.2M from €21.9M, mainly due to the reclassification to current of the convertible bonds maturing in July 2026 and the current portion of loans with IRATA LLC and other private financial partners. Net debt at the end of the period was €77.6M, an increase compared to previous year (€60.9M), given additional funding raised in the course of the year and the consolidation of Thunderful's existing credit facility (€7.5M).

Cash flow from operations was €11.0M for this fiscal year compared to €10.2M in previous fiscal year. Cash flow from investing activities of -€26.2M mainly relates to the consideration paid for the acquisition of Thunderful (€9.3M), the increase in intangible assets related to game development and acquisition of IPs. Financing activities generated cash flows of €16.3M, comprised of an increase in loans (€22.4M) and the payment of debt and related interest (€5.2M), including notably the repayment of Thunderful credit facility (€3.5M).

FINANCING

On July 31, 2026, the outstanding convertible bonds held by IRATA LLC became due and payable under their terms as IRATA did not provide a notice of conversion. The repayment of these convertible bonds was financed through a new loan provided by IRATA LLC to Atari SA of an amount of €29.3M. The new financing, with a three-year maturity and bearing 12% annual interest rate, holds certain convertible features at the option of Atari and IRATA (after 6 months), based on volume weighted average price and with a floor at €24.00 per share for any IRATA conversion. This refinancing extends the maturity profile of the Group's indebtedness while maintaining the support of its principal shareholder. The related-party transaction with IRATA LLC was approved by the Board and conflict-of-interest procedures were followed consistent with Luxembourg corporate laws.

In order to improve its financial flexibility to pursue its growth journey, Atari is also considering implementing financing measures which could consist of a combination of the extension of existing loans held by private financial partners (against a new 3-year loan), the redemption of existing loans by way of new share issuance as well as the strengthening of balance sheet by way of capital increase, pursuant to terms and conditions to be further determined.

OUTLOOK

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, Atari intends to continue executing its retro-focused growth strategy across its three lines of business. In Games, the Company plans to continue investing in a dynamic pipeline of new releases based on high-quality, recognizable, owned or licensed IP, and to leverage the development capabilities of Digital Eclipse and Nightdive Studios as well as the newly acquired studios, Thunderful, Hipster Whale, and Implicit Conversions.

In this context, Atari intends to continue investing in IP and content, with sustained development spend, and anticipates continuing on its growth trajectory. As in the previous years, activity is expected to be stronger in the second half of the fiscal year.

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.
