AIM - LOSERS

Devolver Digital Inc, down 23% at 14.98p, 12-month range 14.98-85.00p. The digital publisher and developer of independent video games hits 52-week low. Devolver says expectations for performance for 2023 have been impacted by three key factors: delays to new title releases, a reduction in revenue from subscription deals and a lower contribution from its back-catalogue. In light of the performance year-to-date, it now expects normalised adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation to be negative in the first half of 2023. For the full year, it expects normalised adjusted Ebitda to be at least break-even. Looking further ahead, Devolver expects normalised adjusted Ebitda to return to growth in 2024 and to "accelerate" in 2025. "We are disappointed that 2023 performance will be lower than expected, as we see an impact from delays to new titles, fewer subscription deals and weaker back-catalogue revenue," says Chair Harry Miller.
