Kennzahlen
📘 Marktkapitalisierung
📈 Was ist das?
Die Marktkapitalisierung zeigt, wie viel ein Unternehmen laut Börse aktuell wert ist.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Sie hilft Unternehmen in Größenklassen (Large, Mid, Small Cap) einzuordnen und gibt Hinweise auf Marktmacht und Stabilität.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Große Unternehmen gelten als stabiler, zahlen oft Dividenden, wachsen aber langsamer.
- Kleine Firmen können stärker wachsen, sind aber schwankungsanfälliger.
- Die Marktkapitalisierung ist ein guter Indikator für Unternehmensgröße, aber kein Maß für Unter- oder Überbewertung.
📘 Enterprise Value (Unternehmenswert)
📈 Was ist das?
Der Enterprise Value (EV) zeigt, was ein Unternehmen tatsächlich kostet, wenn man es komplett übernehmen würde – inklusive Schulden und abzüglich Cash.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
(= Marktkapitalisierung + Nettoverschuldung)
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Der EV ist eine realistischere Bewertungsbasis als die Marktkapitalisierung, da er die Kapitalstruktur berücksichtigt. Er ist Grundlage für Kennzahlen wie EV/FCF oder EV/Sales.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Der Enterprise Value zeigt, was ein Unternehmen tatsächlich wert ist – unabhängig davon, wie es finanziert ist.
- Er ist besonders wichtig für professionelle Investoren, da er eine objektivere Grundlage für Bewertungsvergleiche bietet als die Marktkapitalisierung allein.
- Ein Unternehmen mit hoher Verschuldung erscheint im EV teurer, eines mit viel Cash günstiger – auch wenn sie an der Börse gleich viel wert sind.
📘 Nettoverschuldung
📈 Was ist das?
Die Nettoverschuldung zeigt, wie viele Schulden nach Abzug des verfügbaren Cashs tatsächlich verbleiben.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Sie zeigt, wie stark ein Unternehmen von Fremdkapital abhängig ist – und wie gut es in der Lage ist, seine Schulden kurzfristig zu bedienen.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Eine niedrige oder negative Nettoverschuldung bedeutet hohe finanzielle Stabilität.
- Unternehmen mit viel Cash und geringer Verschuldung sind besser gerüstet für Krisen.
- Eine hohe Nettoverschuldung erhöht das Risiko – besonders bei steigenden Zinsen oder konjunkturellen Schwächen.
📘 Cash
📈 Was ist das?
Der Cashbestand zeigt, wie viele liquide Mittel einem Unternehmen sofort zur Verfügung stehen.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Er gibt Auskunft über die finanzielle Flexibilität: Ein hoher Cashbestand ermöglicht Investitionen, Rückkäufe oder Krisenresistenz.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Ein hoher Cashbestand zeigt finanzielle Stärke und Handlungsspielraum.
- Cash kann für Investitionen, Schuldentilgung oder Aktienrückkäufe genutzt werden.
- Allerdings: Zu viel ungenutztes Kapital kann auch auf mangelnde Investitionsideen hinweisen.
📘 Anzahl ausstehender Aktien
📈 Was ist das?
Die Anzahl ausstehender Aktien gibt an, wie viele Aktien eines Unternehmens aktuell im Umlauf sind und von Investoren gehalten werden.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Sie ist die Grundlage für viele Kennzahlen wie Gewinn je Aktie (EPS), Marktkapitalisierung oder KGV.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Je weniger Aktien im Umlauf sind, desto höher fällt z. B. der Gewinn je Aktie aus – wichtig für Bewertung und Dividendenrendite.
- Aktienrückkäufe verringern die Anzahl ausstehender Aktien – und steigern den Wert je Aktie.
- Kapitalerhöhungen haben den gegenteiligen Effekt: mehr Aktien → Verwässerung der bestehenden Anteile.
📘 Kurs-Gewinn-Verhältnis (KGV)
📈 Was ist das?
Das KGV zeigt, wie oft der Gewinn pro Aktie im aktuellen Aktienkurs enthalten ist – also wie „teuer“ eine Aktie im Verhältnis zum Gewinn ist.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Das KGV gehört zu den bekanntesten Bewertungskennzahlen. Es hilft Anlegern einzuschätzen, ob eine Aktie im Vergleich zu ihrem Gewinn eher günstig oder teuer erscheint.
🧮 Berechnung
📊 KGV (TTM) = bezogen auf den Gewinn der letzten 12 Monate (Trailing Twelve Months):🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Ein niedriges KGV kann auf eine günstige Bewertung hindeuten – oder auf Probleme im Geschäftsmodell.
- Ein hohes KGV kann Wachstumserwartungen widerspiegeln – oder eine überbewertete Aktie.
📘 Kurs-Umsatz-Verhältnis (KUV)
📈 Was ist das?
Das KUV zeigt, wie viel Anleger für 1 € Umsatz eines Unternehmens zahlen – unabhängig vom Gewinn.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Das KUV ist besonders bei wachstumsstarken oder noch nicht profitablen Unternehmen hilfreich. Es zeigt, wie hoch der Umsatz an der Börse bewertet wird.
🧮 Berechnung
Marktkapitalisierung = 21,72 Mrd. zł | Umsatz (TTM) = 831,79 Mio. zł
Marktkapitalisierung = 21,72 Mrd. zł | Umsatz erwartet = 824,27 Mio. zł
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Ein niedriges KUV kann auf Unterbewertung hindeuten – oder auf schwache Margen.
- Ein hohes KUV kann hohe Erwartungen widerspiegeln – oder übermäßigen Optimismus.
- Besonders sinnvoll bei Wachstumsunternehmen, bei denen der Gewinn oder Free Cashflow (noch) keine Aussagekraft hat.
📘 Unternehmenswert zu Umsatz (EV/Sales)
📈 Was ist das?
EV/Sales zeigt, wie viel Anleger für 1 € Umsatz eines Unternehmens zahlen, wenn man auch Schulden und Cash berücksichtigt – es ist eine kapitalstrukturbereinigte Version des KUV.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Diese Kennzahl eignet sich besonders für den Vergleich von Unternehmen mit unterschiedlicher Verschuldung – sie zeigt, wie teuer ein Unternehmen tatsächlich im Verhältnis zum Umsatz ist.
🧮 Berechnung
Enterprise Value = 20,78 Mrd. zł | Umsatz (TTM) = 831,79 Mio. zł
Enterprise Value = 20,78 Mrd. zł | Umsatz erwartet = 824,27 Mio. zł
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- EV/Sales ist neutral gegenüber der Kapitalstruktur und eignet sich gut für Unternehmensvergleiche.
- Ein niedriges Verhältnis kann auf eine günstig bewertete Aktie hindeuten – ein hohes Verhältnis auf hohe Erwartungen oder Überbewertung.
- Besonders nützlich bei wachstumsstarken, noch nicht profitablen Firmen.
📘 Unternehmenswert zu Free Cashflow (EV/FCF)
📈 Was ist das?
EV/FCF zeigt, wie viele Jahre es dauern würde, bis ein Unternehmen seinen Unternehmenswert durch freien Cashflow „zurückverdient”.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Diese Kennzahl hilft, Unternehmen auf Basis ihrer tatsächlichen Cash-Erträge zu bewerten – unabhängig von Bilanzierungsregeln oder buchhalterischem Gewinn.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Ein niedriges EV/FCF deutet auf eine günstige Bewertung bei starker Cashgenerierung hin.
- Ein hohes EV/FCF kann entweder auf Optimismus oder auf temporär schwachen Cashflow hindeuten.
- Besonders hilfreich bei reifen, profitablen Unternehmen mit stabilen Cashflows.
📘 Kurs-Buchwert-Verhältnis (KBV)
📈 Was ist das?
Das KBV zeigt, wie hoch der Marktwert eines Unternehmens im Verhältnis zu seinem bilanziellen Eigenkapital ist.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Das KBV ist besonders bei Substanzwerten (z. B. Banken, Industrie) relevant. Es hilft Anlegern zu erkennen, ob ein Unternehmen unter oder über seinem buchhalterischen Vermögen bewertet ist.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Ein KBV unter 1 kann auf Unterbewertung oder schwache Rentabilität hindeuten.
- Ein KBV über 1 zeigt, dass der Markt dem Unternehmen Mehrwert über den Buchwert hinaus zuschreibt (z. B. Marken, Patente, Wachstum).
- Das KBV eignet sich besonders gut für Unternehmen mit stabilen, materiellen Vermögenswerten.
📘 Dividende je Aktie
📈 Was ist das?
Die Dividende je Aktie zeigt, wie viel Geld ein Unternehmen pro Aktie an seine Aktionäre ausschüttet – typischerweise jährlich oder quartalsweise.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Sie ist die absolute Größe der Auszahlung je Aktie – wichtig für alle, die regelmäßige Erträge suchen oder Dividendenstrategien verfolgen.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Eine stabile oder wachsende Dividende je Aktie ist oft ein Zeichen für ein solides Geschäftsmodell.
- Die Dividende je Aktie allein sagt aber nichts über die Rendite – dafür ist auch der Aktienkurs relevant (→ Dividendenrendite).
- Langfristig steigende Dividenden sind oft ein sehr gutes Merkmal (z. B. Dividenden-Aristokraten).
📘 Dividendenrendite
📈 Was ist das?
Die Dividendenrendite zeigt, wie hoch die Dividende eines Unternehmens im Verhältnis zum Aktienkurs ist.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Sie hilft dabei, Dividendenaktien vergleichbar zu machen – unabhängig vom absoluten Auszahlungsbetrag.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Eine stabile Dividendenrendite kann auf verlässliche Ausschüttungen hinweisen.
- Ein Vergleich der 1J- und 5J-Rendite hilft zu erkennen, ob das Dividendenwachstum mit dem Kurswachstum Schritt hält.
- Eine niedrige Rendite ist nicht zwingend negativ – sie kann auf starkes Kurswachstum hindeuten.
📘 Dividendenwachstum
📈 Was ist das?
Das Dividendenwachstum zeigt, wie stark ein Unternehmen seine Dividende je Aktie über die Zeit gesteigert hat.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
5J: durchschnittliche jährliche Wachstumsrate (CAGR)
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Stetig steigende Dividenden gelten als Zeichen für finanzielle Stärke und Aktionärsorientierung – besonders interessant für langfristige Investoren.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Ein stabiles Dividendenwachstum ist ein Zeichen nachhaltiger Ertragskraft.
- Ein hohes Dividendenwachstum kann ein erheblicher Hebel deiner Rendite sein:
- Wenn ein Unternehmen z. B. 1 € Dividende zahlt und diese über 5 Jahre jährlich um 15 % erhöht, bekommst du im 5. Jahr bereits 2 € je Aktie – doppelt so viel wie zu Beginn!
📘 Ausschüttungsquote (Payout)
📈 Was ist das?
Die Ausschüttungsquote zeigt, wie viel Prozent des Unternehmensgewinns (pro Aktie) als Dividende an die Aktionäre ausgeschüttet wird.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Die Quote hilft einzuschätzen, ob eine Dividende auf Dauer tragfähig ist – besonders im Verhältnis zum erzielten Gewinn.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Eine niedrige Ausschüttungsquote bedeutet: Das Unternehmen behält einen größeren Teil des Gewinns für Investitionen – typisch für Wachstumsunternehmen.
- Eine moderate Quote (z. B. 25–50 %) steht oft für ein gesundes Gleichgewicht zwischen Ausschüttung und Zukunftsinvestitionen.
- Hohe Ausschüttungsquoten können attraktiv wirken, sind aber riskanter, wenn die Gewinne schwanken oder sinken.
📘 Dividendensteigerungen in Folge (Erhöhungen)
📈 Was ist das?
Diese Kennzahl zeigt, wie viele Jahre in Folge ein Unternehmen seine Dividende pro Aktie erhöht hat – ohne Kürzung oder Aussetzung.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Ein langer Track Record kontinuierlicher Erhöhungen spricht für Verlässlichkeit, solide Finanzen und aktionärsfreundliche Unternehmenspolitik.
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Ein langer Zeitraum mit Dividendensteigerungen stärkt das Vertrauen – besonders in Krisenzeiten.
- Solche Unternehmen gelten als verlässlich und planbar für Einkommensinvestoren.
- Je länger die Serie, desto stärker das Commitment gegenüber den Aktionären.
📘 Umsatz
📈 Was ist das?
Der Umsatz zeigt, wie viel ein Unternehmen insgesamt mit seinen Produkten und Dienstleistungen verdient – also den Bruttoerlös vor Abzug von Kosten.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Der Umsatz ist eine der zentralen Kennzahlen zur Einschätzung der Unternehmensgröße, Marktstellung und Wachstumskraft.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Ein wachsender Umsatz zeigt eine steigende Nachfrage und kann ein guter Frühindikator für Gewinnsteigerungen sein.
- Vergleiche von aktuellem und erwartetem Umsatz geben Hinweise auf das Marktumfeld und Analystenerwartungen.
- Wichtig: Starker Umsatz allein genügt nicht – auch Margen und Profitabilität zählen.
📘 EBITDA
📈 Was ist das?
EBITDA steht für „Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization“ – also Gewinn vor Zinsen, Steuern und Abschreibungen. Es zeigt das operative Ergebnis eines Unternehmens, bereinigt um bilanztechnische und finanzierungsbedingte Effekte.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
EBITDA ist eine verbreitete Kennzahl zur Beurteilung der operativen Leistungsfähigkeit – insbesondere bei kapitalintensiven Unternehmen oder im internationalen Vergleich.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Ein hohes oder wachsendes EBITDA spricht für starke operative Erträge – unabhängig von Bilanzierung oder Steuerlast.
- EBITDA ist besonders nützlich, um Unternehmen branchenübergreifend zu vergleichen.
- Wichtig: EBITDA ist keine offizielle Gewinnkennzahl – Abschreibungen und Finanzierungskosten werden ausgeklammert.
📘 EBIT
📈 Was ist das?
EBIT steht für „Earnings Before Interest and Taxes“ – also Gewinn vor Zinsen und Steuern. Es zeigt das operative Ergebnis eines Unternehmens nach Abschreibungen, aber vor Finanzierungs- und Steueraufwand.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
EBIT ist eine zentrale Kennzahl zur Beurteilung der Profitabilität aus dem Kerngeschäft – unabhängig von Kapitalstruktur oder Steuersystem.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Ein hohes EBIT deutet auf ein profitables Kerngeschäft hin – vor Zinslasten oder steuerlichen Effekten.
- Es erlaubt objektivere Vergleiche zwischen Unternehmen mit unterschiedlicher Finanzierung.
- Im Vergleich mit EBITDA zeigt EBIT bereits den Einfluss von Abschreibungen auf das operative Ergebnis.
📘 Nettogewinn
📈 Was ist das?
Der Nettogewinn ist der verbleibende Jahresüberschuss (oder -fehlbetrag) eines Unternehmens – nach Abzug aller Kosten, Steuern, Zinsen und Abschreibungen
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Der Nettogewinn ist die zentrale Erfolgskennzahl – er zeigt, wie profitabel ein Unternehmen nach allen Kosten tatsächlich arbeitet.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Ein steigender Nettogewinn zeigt, dass das Unternehmen effizient wirtschaftet – trotz aller Kosten.
- Die Entwicklung des Gewinns beeinflusst z. B. direkt das KGV und weitere Kennzahlen.
- Im Zeitverlauf lässt sich ablesen, wie stabil und profitabel ein Geschäftsmodell wirklich ist.
📘 Free Cashflow (FCF)
📈 Was ist das?
Der Free Cashflow gibt Aufschluss über die echte finanzielle Stärke eines Unternehmens – unabhängig von Bilanzierungsregeln. Er zeigt, wie viel Spielraum für Dividenden, Aktienrückkäufe oder Schuldenabbau besteht.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
FCF reflects a company’s real financial strength – regardless of accounting profits. It shows how much flexibility a company has for dividends, share buybacks, or debt reduction.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Ein hoher Free Cashflow bedeutet, dass ein Unternehmen echte Finanzkraft besitzt – unabhängig vom bilanzierten Gewinn.
- Er ist oft die solideste Grundlage für nachhaltige Dividenden und Aktienrückkäufe.
- Sinkender FCF kann ein Warnsignal sein – auch wenn der Gewinn stabil aussieht.
📘 Umsatzwachstum
📈 Was ist das?
Das Umsatzwachstum zeigt, wie stark sich die Erlöse eines Unternehmens im Vergleich zum Vorjahr verändert haben – tatsächlich (TTM) und auf Prognosebasis (erwartet).
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
Erwartet = (Umsatz erwartet ÷ Umsatz Vorjahr − 1) × 100
Erwartetes Wachstum basiert auf Analystenschätzungen für das laufende Geschäftsjahr.
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Ein wachsender Umsatz ist ein zentrales Signal für steigende Nachfrage, Geschäftsausweitung und Marktanteilsgewinne – besonders bei Wachstumsunternehmen.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Wachstum ist der Motor langfristiger Wertsteigerung – besonders bei Technologie- und Wachstumsaktien.
- Wichtig ist nicht nur das aktuelle Wachstum, sondern auch dessen Nachhaltigkeit.
- Prognosen zeigen, ob Analysten weiteres Potenzial erwarten – oder eine Verlangsamung.
📘 EBITDA-Wachstum
📈 Was ist das?
Das EBITDA-Wachstum zeigt, wie stark das operative Ergebnis eines Unternehmens vor Zinsen, Steuern und Abschreibungen im Vergleich zum Vorjahr gestiegen oder gesunken ist.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
Erwartet = (erwartetes EBITDA ÷ EBITDA Vorjahr − 1) × 100
Erwartetes Wachstum basiert auf Analystenschätzungen für das laufende Geschäftsjahr.
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Ein steigendes EBITDA ist ein Zeichen für verbesserte operative Ertragskraft – unabhängig von Finanzierungsstruktur oder Abschreibungen.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Starkes EBITDA-Wachstum signalisiert operative Effizienz und Skalierung – besonders relevant in Wachstumsphasen.
- EBITDA-Wachstum ist ein Frühindikator für Margen- und Gewinnentwicklung – sollte aber stets im Zusammenhang mit Umsatz und EBIT betrachtet werden.
📘 EBIT Wachstum
📈 Was ist das?
Das EBIT-Wachstum zeigt, wie stark das operative Ergebnis eines Unternehmens (nach Abschreibungen, aber vor Zinsen und Steuern) im Vergleich zum Vorjahr gewachsen ist.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
Erwartet = (erwartetes EBIT ÷ EBIT Vorjahr − 1) × 100
Erwartetes Wachstum basiert auf Analystenschätzungen für das laufende Geschäftsjahr.
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Das EBIT-Wachstum ist ein direkter Indikator für die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung des operativen Geschäfts – unter Berücksichtigung der Kapitalintensität (Abschreibungen).
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Steigendes EBIT signalisiert wachsende operative Rentabilität – auch unter Berücksichtigung von Abschreibungen.
- Das EBIT-Wachstum ist ein wichtiges Maß zur Beurteilung von Geschäftsmodellen mit hohen Investitionskosten.
- Im Zusammenspiel mit Umsatz- und EBITDA-Wachstum ergibt sich ein umfassendes Bild zur operativen Entwicklung.
📘 Nettogewinn-Wachstum
📈 Was ist das?
Das Nettogewinn-Wachstum zeigt, wie stark der Jahresüberschuss eines Unternehmens gegenüber dem Vorjahr gestiegen oder gesunken ist – sowohl tatsächlich (TTM) als auch auf Basis von Prognosen (erwartet).
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
Erwartet = (erwarteter Nettogewinn ÷ Nettogewinn Vorjahr − 1) × 100
Der erwartete Wert basiert auf Analystenschätzungen für das laufende Geschäftsjahr.
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Der Gewinn ist die entscheidende Ergebnisgröße für ein Unternehmen. Ein wachsender Nettogewinn deutet auf steigende Effizienz, stabile Kostenkontrolle und nachhaltige Ertragskraft hin.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Wachsender Nettogewinn stärkt die Bewertung, Dividendenfähigkeit und Kursfantasie.
- Stagnierender oder rückläufiger Gewinn trotz Umsatzwachstum kann auf Margendruck hinweisen.
📘 Free Cashflow-Wachstum
📈 Was ist das?
Das Free-Cashflow-Wachstum zeigt, wie sich der freie Mittelzufluss eines Unternehmens im Vergleich zum Vorjahr verändert hat – also der Betrag, der nach allen operativen Ausgaben und Investitionen übrig bleibt.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Free Cashflow ist der echte, verfügbare Geldzufluss. Wachstum in diesem Bereich ist ein Zeichen für finanzielle Stärke und steigende Flexibilität bei Dividenden, Rückkäufen oder Investitionen.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Sinkender Free Cashflow kann auf steigende Investitionen, höhere Kosten oder stagnierende operative Erträge hindeuten.
- Besonders bei Dividendenwerten ist das FCF-Wachstum wichtig – denn Dividenden werden letztlich aus dem verfügbaren Cash gezahlt.
- Ein negativer Trend sollte genauer analysiert werden – er ist nicht zwangsläufig schlecht, aber potenziell ein Warnsignal.
📘 Bruttomarge
📈 Was ist das?
Die Bruttomarge zeigt, wie viel vom Umsatz nach Abzug der direkten Herstellungskosten (Material, Produktion) als Bruttogewinn übrig bleibt – also der „Rohgewinn“ eines Unternehmens.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
Auch: Bruttomarge = Bruttogewinn ÷ Umsatz × 100
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Die Bruttomarge gibt Aufschluss über die Profitabilität eines Produkts oder Geschäftsmodells vor Fixkosten, Steuern und Zinsen. Sie zeigt, wie effizient ein Unternehmen produzieren oder einkaufen kann.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Eine hohe Bruttomarge deutet auf starke Preissetzungsmacht und effiziente Herstellung hin.
- Sinkende Bruttomargen können auf Kostensteigerungen oder Preisdruck hindeuten.
- Besonders im Vergleich zu Wettbewerbern liefert die Bruttomarge wertvolle Einblicke in die Geschäftsqualität.
📘 EBITDA-Marge
📈 Was ist das?
Die EBITDA-Marge zeigt, wie viel vom Umsatz als operativer Gewinn vor Zinsen, Steuern und Abschreibungen (EBITDA) übrig bleibt. Sie misst die operative Effizienz – ohne Verzerrungen durch Finanzierung oder Buchwerte.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Die EBITDA-Marge hilft zu verstehen, wie viel operativer Gewinn ein Unternehmen aus jedem Euro Umsatz erzielt – unabhängig von Kapitalstruktur oder steuerlichem Umfeld.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Eine hohe EBITDA-Marge zeigt starke operative Ertragskraft – unabhängig von Bilanzierungseffekten.
- Die Marge ermöglicht gute Vergleiche zwischen Unternehmen und Branchen.
- Ein stabiler oder wachsender Wert kann auf effiziente Kostenkontrolle und Skalierbarkeit hindeuten.
📘 EBIT-Marge
📈 Was ist das?
Die EBIT-Marge zeigt, wie viel Prozent des Umsatzes als operativer Gewinn nach Abschreibungen, aber vor Zinsen und Steuern übrig bleiben.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Die EBIT-Marge misst die operative Ertragskraft eines Unternehmens unter Berücksichtigung der Kapitalintensität (z. B. Maschinen, Anlagen). Sie eignet sich gut zum Vergleich von Geschäftsmodellen mit unterschiedlich hohen Abschreibungen.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Eine hohe EBIT-Marge zeigt, dass ein Unternehmen auch nach Abschreibungen effizient arbeitet.
- Sie ist besonders relevant in kapitalintensiven Branchen.
- Langfristig stabile oder steigende Margen sind ein Zeichen wirtschaftlicher Stärke und Preissetzungsmacht.
📘 Nettomarge
📈 Was ist das?
Die Nettomarge zeigt, wie viel vom Umsatz am Ende als „Reingewinn“ übrig bleibt – also nach Abzug aller Kosten, Zinsen, Steuern und Abschreibungen.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Die Nettomarge gibt an, wie effizient ein Unternehmen über alle Stufen hinweg wirtschaftet. Sie zeigt, wie viel Gewinn tatsächlich je Euro Umsatz übrig bleibt.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Eine hohe Nettomarge zeigt, dass ein Unternehmen nicht nur operativ stark ist, sondern auch seine Finanzierung und Steuerbelastung im Griff hat.
- Vergleiche mit Wettbewerbern geben Einblicke in die wirtschaftliche Qualität.
- Sinkende Nettomargen trotz Umsatzwachstum können ein Warnsignal sein – etwa für steigende Kosten oder sinkende Effizienz.
📘 Free Cashflow Marge
📈 Was ist das?
Die Free-Cashflow-Marge zeigt, wie viel vom Umsatz nach Abzug aller operativen Ausgaben und Investitionen tatsächlich als freier Mittelzufluss übrig bleibt.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Diese Marge misst die echte Liquidität, die ein Unternehmen erwirtschaftet – unabhängig von Bilanzierungsregeln oder Abschreibungen. Sie ist besonders relevant für Dividenden, Rückkäufe und Investitionen.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Eine hohe Free-Cashflow-Marge zeigt, dass ein Unternehmen nachhaltig liquide Mittel erwirtschaftet.
- Sie ist ein starkes Signal für finanzielle Stabilität und Ausschüttungspotenzial.
- Wichtig ist der langfristige Trend – sinkende Werte können auf steigende Investitionen oder rückläufige operative Effizienz hindeuten.
📘 Eigenkapitalquote
📈 Was ist das?
Die Eigenkapitalquote zeigt, wie hoch der Anteil des Eigenkapitals an der Bilanzsumme eines Unternehmens ist – also wie stark es sich aus eigenen Mitteln finanziert.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Eine hohe Eigenkapitalquote steht für finanzielle Stabilität, Krisenfestigkeit und gute Bonität. Sie ist besonders relevant bei der Beurteilung der Verschuldung.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Eine hohe Eigenkapitalquote signalisiert finanzielle Stabilität – besonders in Krisenzeiten.
- Ein niedriger Wert kann auf ein höheres Risiko oder eine aggressive Verschuldung hinweisen.
- Wichtig: Die Eigenkapitalquote sollte immer gemeinsam mit der Eigenkapitalrendite betrachtet werden. Nur so lässt sich beurteilen, ob ein Unternehmen nicht nur solide, sondern auch effizient wirtschaftet.
📘 Eigenkapitalrendite (ROE)
📈 Was ist das?
Die Eigenkapitalrendite zeigt, wie effizient ein Unternehmen mit dem Kapital seiner Aktionäre arbeitet – also wie viel Gewinn es pro Euro Eigenkapital erwirtschaftet.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Die Eigenkapitalrendite ist eine zentrale Rentabilitätskennzahl. Sie hilft Anlegern zu erkennen, ob das Unternehmen eine attraktive Verzinsung auf das eingesetzte Eigenkapital erwirtschaftet.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Eine hohe Eigenkapitalrendite spricht für ein starkes, effizientes Geschäftsmodell.
- Besonders interessant ist sie bei kapitalintensiven Firmen oder solchen mit hoher Eigenkapitalquote.
- Wichtig: Ein sehr hoher ROE kann auch auf hohe Schulden hinweisen – daher sollte sie immer im Kontext mit der Eigenkapitalquote betrachtet werden.
📘 Return on Capital Employed (ROCE)
📈 Was ist das?
ROCE misst die Gesamtrentabilität eines Unternehmens – also wie effizient es das eingesetzte Kapital (Eigen- und Fremdkapital) zur Gewinnerzielung nutzt.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
Das eingesetzte Kapital ist das gesamte betriebsnotwendige Kapital, unabhängig von der Finanzierungsquelle.
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
ROCE eignet sich besonders gut für den Vergleich unterschiedlich finanzierter Unternehmen. Es zeigt, wie effektiv ein Unternehmen Kapital investiert – unabhängig von der Kapitalstruktur.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Ein hoher ROCE zeigt, dass ein Unternehmen sein Kapital effizient einsetzt – unabhängig davon, ob es durch Eigen- oder Fremdkapital finanziert ist.
- Je höher der ROCE im Vergleich zu ähnlichen Unternehmen, desto mehr Wert schafft das Unternehmen mit seinem investierten Kapital.
- Besonders wichtig ist der ROCE bei Firmen mit hohen Investitionen – z. B. in Industrie, Energie oder Infrastruktur.
📘 Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
📈 Was ist das?
ROIC zeigt, wie effizient ein Unternehmen das Kapital investiert, das langfristig im operativen Geschäft gebunden ist – unabhängig davon, ob es aus Eigen- oder Fremdkapital stammt.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
- NOPAT = „Net Operating Profit After Taxes“
- Investiertes Kapital = operatives Vermögen abzüglich nicht-verzinster Schulden
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
ROIC ist eine der präzisesten Kennzahlen zur Bewertung der Kapitalrendite – besonders im Vergleich zur Eigenkapitalrendite, weil es Verzerrungen durch Schulden vermeidet. Er zeigt, ob ein Unternehmen Mehrwert für alle Kapitalgeber schafft.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Ein hoher ROIC zeigt, wie gut ein Unternehmen mit dem tatsächlich investierten (betriebsnotwendigen) Kapital wirtschaftet.
- Im Unterschied zu ROCE wird nur Kapital betrachtet, das wirklich zur Finanzierung operativer Aktivitäten dient – und verzinst werden muss.
- Besonders hilfreich, um die Kapitalrendite von Unternehmen mit viel „überschüssigem“ Kapital oder zinsfreien Verbindlichkeiten realistisch zu vergleichen.
📘 Verschuldungsgrad (Leverage Ratio)
📈 Was ist das?
Der Verschuldungsgrad zeigt, wie stark ein Unternehmen durch verzinsliche Schulden (z. B. Kredite und Anleihen) im Verhältnis zum Eigenkapital finanziert ist.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Die Kennzahl hilft, das finanzielle Risiko und die Abhängigkeit von Fremdkapital zu beurteilen. Ein hoher Verschuldungsgrad kann die Eigenkapitalrendite steigern – birgt aber auch erhöhte Risiken bei Zinsanstiegen oder Liquiditätsengpässen.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Ein niedriger Verschuldungsgrad steht für finanzielle Stabilität und Unabhängigkeit.
- Ein hoher Wert kann auf erhöhte Risiken hinweisen – insbesondere bei schwankenden Zinsen oder konjunkturellen Schwächen.
- Wichtig: Immer im Kontext zur Branche und Kapitalintensität bewerten.
📘 Ergebnis je Aktie (EPS)
📈 Was ist das?
Das Ergebnis je Aktie (EPS) zeigt, wie viel Gewinn auf eine einzelne Aktie entfällt – und ist eine der wichtigsten Kennzahlen zur Bewertung von Unternehmen.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
Die verwässerte Aktienanzahl berücksichtigt auch potenzielle neue Aktien, etwa durch Optionen, Wandelanleihen oder andere Umtauschrechte.
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
EPS bildet die Basis für viele Bewertungskennzahlen wie KGV, PEG oder Payout Ratio. Es macht den Gewinn für Aktionäre vergleichbar – unabhängig von der Unternehmensgröße.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- EPS hilft, die Profitabilität pro Aktie zu erfassen – und ist besonders wichtig im Zeitvergleich oder im Vergleich mit Analystenschätzungen.
- Steigendes EPS kann ein Zeichen für stabiles Wachstum oder Aktienrückkäufe sein.
- Wichtig: Verwende verwässertes EPS für realistische Bewertungen – besonders bei stark aktienbasierten Vergütungssystemen.
📘 Free Cashflow je Aktie (FCF je Aktie)
📈 Was ist das?
Der Free Cashflow je Aktie zeigt, wie viel freier Mittelzufluss einem Unternehmen pro Aktie zur Verfügung steht – nach Investitionen, aber vor Dividenden oder Schuldentilgung.
🧮 Wie wird es berechnet?
🏛️ Wofür ist es wichtig?
Der FCF je Aktie zeigt, wie viel liquide Mittel pro Aktie tatsächlich im Unternehmen verbleiben – wichtig für Dividenden, Aktienrückkäufe oder Schuldentilgung. Im Gegensatz zum Gewinn ist er schwerer manipulierbar und daher besonders aussagekräftig.
🧮 Berechnung
🎯 Was bedeutet das für Anleger?
- Ein hoher Free Cashflow je Aktie ist ein Zeichen für hohe finanzielle Flexibilität.

CD Projekt — Q1 2026 Earnings Call
1. Management Discussion
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by, and I would like to welcome you to CD Projekt's First Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call on the 28th of May. [Operator Instructions] So without further ado, I would now like to pass the line to Mr. MihalNaBakovski, the joint Chief Executive Officer, please go ahead, sir.
Thank you, and good afternoon, everyone. I'm handovakobski, joined CEO of CD Projekt, and it's a pleasure to welcome you to our first quarter 2026 result presentation. I'll be sharing the stage today with our CFO, Petri Lobo. As usual, we reserve time at the end of the -- for our Q&A session, where Carolinas, our VP, Investor Relations, will step in to join us. .
As you probably already know, yesterday, we announced that we are working on songs in the past. That is a brand-new, fully fledged third expansion for the Wite-freewile hand that we previously referred to as 1 of our unannounced projects.
We are absolutely thrilled about this development and incredibly happy with the community's super positive reaction. Our expansion announcement is officially the second most liked and shared tweet ever on the winter profile, surpassed only by our official announcement of the new SAGA.
I got 16 million impressions within just 24 hours of the review. With that in mind, we really look forward to welcoming new comers to the White universe as well as retaining players eager to hit the trail with revote. At the same time, we are well aware that stepping back into such a beloved universe comes with high expectations and a great deal of responsibility.
That's why we're working hard to deliver to players in authentic and memorable experience. I can share that the expansion is now in an advanced phase of production around 190 developers, most of them from our trusted partner at full theory are currently working with us on the project. [
At the same time, CD Projekt read provides the creative oversight to safeguard the quality of the whither experience. We are launching the expansion in 2027 on PlayStation 5 Xbox Series X and PC. We look forward to sharing more details about it during Gamescom.
Stay tuned. Staying with the Witcher brand for a moment, I have not a huge milestone to share. According to our latest numbers at which free has now sold over 65 million copies globally, make it at 1 of the most successful titles in gaming history.
For us, this is obviously a perfect setup for everything we're planning next for the franchise. Beyond these major announcements, I would like to summarize on the key business events from early 2026.
Over the past few months, we focused on strategically expanding the reach of our flagship titles, we introduced the Witcher Free Wild and complete addition as well as the base version of CyberPnk2077 to the Xbox Game Pass premium and ultimate catalogs.
Offering these titles for subscription services allows us to attract new players to our universes. Growing our audiences works well both for our future games and for other projects within our franchises such as the highly anticipated expansion for the WochoFreeWild and and the upcoming Cyberbank adjournments to Alma series.
Alongside expanding our player base, we remain committed to ensuring our existing titles delivered the highest possible technological quality.
In April 2026, we successfully rolled out a dedicated tech update for Cyberbank2077 and it allows the game to fully leverage the expanded hardware capabilities offered by the PlayStation 5 Pro console, ensuring that exploring Night City remains a cutting-edge experience even years after the release.
We believe this will contribute to the game's last an appeal and support its sales over the long term. While we aim to continue delivering high-quality games, our long-term growth relies on building strong IPs.
The Cyberpunk trading card game, Kickstarter campaign proved to be the biggest gaming project ever on the platform and the third largest of all time which proved to us that the excitement surrounding the universe goes far beyond video games.
While only a portion of the final total of $28 million raised for the campaign, is recognized our CD Projekt Group revenue, it's still a very meaningful result for us. As it reveals the continued strength of the CyberPunk brand.
As this is a license-based cooperation, we will also participate in the games financial performance once the game launches. Now concluding my part, let me briefly comment on the current project allocation.
Since the last update, as you may see on the chart, our projects have seen only some adjustments in team sites. -- aligning with our ongoing progress and evolving workload requirements.
As we are now in the most intensive phase of the which development, the team has grown to 513 developers while the Cyberpunk 2 and Series team also grew by 1,000 or so. This reflects a stable organizational setup that has the right capabilities and expertise in place. And with that, I'll pass it over to Port, who will walk you for our Q1 financial results.
Thank you, Michael, and good evening, everyone. Let's start with our consolidated profit and loss account on Slide 9.
But first, a technical reminder. Following last year's sale of GOG, we no longer report separate business segments; and secondly, the corresponding period for 2025 and has been adjusted for comparative purposes, meaning GOG has been excluded from what we had reported in last year's Therefore, the columns for both Q1 2025 and Q1 2026, present CeleraOne, the operation will continue.
The net result from discontinued operations for the first quarter of the previous year has been presented separately at the bottom of the table. And now we can move on to the numbers.
Our sales revenue for the first quarter of 2026 reached over PLN 191 million, a 6% increase year-on-year. Naturally, the majority of this revenue came from sales of our own products, particularly the Cyber Bank family.
Additionally, we recognized revenue from the inclusion of the base addition of Cyber Bank 2077 and the 31 complete addition in Xbox Game Pass premium and ultimate subscriptions.
With the cost of sales remaining flat compared to Q1 2025, our gross profit stood at PLN 177 million. Selling and administrative expenses slightly increased over the period amounting to a combined PLN 81 million.
Finally, our net profit for the first quarter of 2026 reached PLN 106 million with the net profitability at a solid 56%. The next slide, #10, presents our consolidated balance sheet. On the asset side, we see the usual expenditures and development projects.
The balance here increased by PLN 169 million, driven by nearly PLN 180 million new development expenses offset by PLN 10 million in amortization of previously launched games. There was also a visible increase of PLN 51 million in the property, plant and equipment line item.
This was due to further expenditures on construction works and the acquisition of a property related to the plant expansion of our campus. The decrease of other current assets was driven mainly by the reduction of other receivables related to the sale of GOG shares at the very end of 2025 and some of our previously made prepayments.
The total value of cash deposits and bonds included in the 3 asset items marked with an asterisk, is summed up under the table and amounts to PLN 1.411 billion as of the end of March. As usual, I will discuss this in more detail on the dedicated cash flow slide.
Moving forward to equity and liabilities, Slide 11. The most significant impact here came from the net profit generated in the current period, which helped our equity surplus PLN 3.4 billion at the end of March.
Now please move on to Slide 12. So the prices expenditures on research works, development and cost of product maintenance presented here on a quarterly basis over the last 5 quarters. Looking at the chart, the trend is clear. We continue to scale our investments in both public and analyzed projects as development progresses. The increase over the last quarter comes from both the products developed internally as well as those created in cooperation with our partners.
And finally, let's look at our aggregated cash flow drivers on Slide 13. The PLN 106 book net profit was supported by PLN 27 million in amortization, depreciation and noncash costs of our share-based incentive programs. At the same time, PLN 43 million was spent on the acquisition of tangible and intangible assets.
The overall change in receivables, liabilities, provisions and deferrals posted our cash flows by PLN 34 million, mainly thanks to the natural decrease of trade liabilities after the intense end-of-year sales. Other cash flows were mainly driven by the difference between the income tax recorded in our P&L and actual transfers related to income tax during the reported period.
Excluding investments in currently developed products, our ongoing business generated PLN 148 million in positive cash flows during the first quarter. At the same time, most of our team was engaged in work on new projects. Hence, the nearly PLN 150 million outflow associated with development expenditures.
Additionally, at the beginning of January, we received the already mentioned payment for the sale of GOG shares, which after transaction costs bolstered our cash position by PLN 87 million. All in all, during the reporting period, our financial reserves, cap in cash, bank deposits and bonds increased by PLN 86 million, standing at over PLN 1.4 billion at the end of March.
To conclude my part of the presentation, let me briefly walk you through where we currently stand in achieving the goal for the first stage of our share-based incentive program.
Please move to Slide 14. The earnings condition for the 2023, 2026 period was set at PLN 2 billion in cumulative net profit from continuing operations. Following a solid first quarter, we still need PLN 418 million to reach this target. The goal remains highly ambitious.
Nevertheless, we have both gaming and nongaming projects in a full year advanced stage of production and some initiatives we are working on. We believe we have a chance of meeting the goal. That's all from me. We are now ready for the Q&A session.
Thank you. Thank you very much for the presentation. [Operator Instructions] question as a tax, I will just give a mono so for the questions to comment. Okay, since we seem to have no voice questions. We have a few in the text form and the first 1 is from Christoph Koch from Erste.
And the question is, is the company satisfied with the current quality of the new which are 3 expansion developed in cooperation with full theory.
And the short answer is, yes, we are. I really have no -- not much more to add here.
The second question comes from Christophe . During recent conference calls, the company indicated that it plans to release a project in 2026 that should support the achievement of the incentive program targets. Was this project sums of the past was the expansion originally targeted for 2026? If so, should we expect its release rather earlier than later in 2027?
So for several quarters, we've been disclosing that our pipeline includes some unannounced projects being in an advanced production stage. And one of those is the expansion being codeveloped with full theory. Our early plans assumed that songs of the past could be released this year.
However, we decided that it will be launching in 2027. We obviously have some other content currently at an advanced production phase as well. And while it's obviously not on the same scale as the major expansion, we still plan to release it this year.
Okay. The next question I have is from -- we have this from colas and from Benari -- and the question reads, how should we think about the scope and average selling price which are free songs of the past? Is it more comparable to hearts of stone or blood and wine?
These, first of all, I cannot stop myself. It's not a DC. It's an expansion. We differentiate between these 2 deals. These are the ones -- the smaller ones, which we typically give for free expansions are the bigger and juicy ones. It may be semantics for some people, but it's pretty important for us.
On the price, we are not really commenting. We're going to reveal that's when the right comps. It's part of the marketing messaging. Messaging whenever the time is going to be right, we're going to put it out there. When it comes to the scope, I'd say it's actually a little bit closer to blood and wine, but this is super subjective.
It really depends on your on how you're going to play, what you play through, but we're definitely making a proper big expansion is the message I would send out there.
And the next question, I might try and take as well. It's also from as of the cat from Erste. And it reads given the very ambitious project pipeline does the company see room for developing expansions for the new Whitters.
Okay. So since -- as you mentioned in the question, the plans are pretty ambition -- ambitious. Specifically, it's the release free, which again within a 6-year period. It would be difficult to be very honest, for us to add an expansion to the upcoming Trilogy. This is where we are here and now with this particular issue.
So the next question is from Nicolas Langlet, Pariba. Based on current advancement of our pipeline, are you comfortable to match the 2024, 2027 incentive program earning target?
Well, so the answer is pretty -- it's kind of philosophical. All our goals are always extremely ambitious. And that one, of course, also we see as an ambitious one. So there is nothing more to comment that I already did during my first part of the presentation. .
And the next 1 is also from Nico. Would you say White development team has reached the peak or it could further increase in the coming quarters? .
We believe that we, right now, have the right mix of expertise and skills. But of course, we may slightly adjust the team size depending on the needs.
And the next question is from Thomas Rodak what was the reason of postponing the view of sons of the past 2027. Earlier, you implied that the product developed by first Terry will be released this year?
So this ties back to what I think Cort mentioned earlier, where we we basically reported during our investor calls, and we were giving the updates on various projects, including unannounced ones.
And obviously, the full theory 1 was -- well, the sons of the past specifically was 1 of them, but we never specifically were suggesting a date for any of them because we were not really naming them.
So as also -- got mentioned before in 1 of the questions that were asked in here in the written form we had a moment where our plans assume that some in the past will be released this year. However, we decided together with the development team that the game will be launching in 2027 for -- to be honest, for its best to achieve the best possible result from the consumer standpoint, which, in the end, frankly speaking, is the only ultimate thing that that really matters.
The next 1 is also from Thomas Seda during the red stream. It was set at songs of the past will be showcased during upcoming games come conference at the entertainment area. Does it in play -- does it imply -- I'm sorry, a trailer or hands on experience. So we're saying we're going to be showing the game there.
I cannot really talk for the details, but what I would actually suggest is that historically, when we were showing which are gains we were typically doing a guided demo kind of experience. So probably you should be thinking more in those lines. rather than hand in these periods.
These are big games very large RPG experiences and having a 5-minute session with a game like that would not really give you a lot. So we're more likely going to be following the trail of what we've been doing in the past with a free or for that matter with CyberPunk when we were announcing it as well.
The next question comes from Michel chiros, Ipopema Securities. Was the decision regarding lack of dividend payment driven by delay of songs of the past or where there are more reasons. Cash flow seems still relatively healthy for Q1 '26.
Thank you for this opinion. Cash flow is 1 thing and also our cash position is pretty strong at the end of the first quarter. And songs of the past is relatively soon. I'm sure we will still have a lot of money on our bank accounts and in our bonds on the day of launching the sense of the past. So it's definitely not the thing.
But to put it simply, we always plan all of the developments we have in our pipeline looking at the long term, and we are growing the studio into a multi-project development team or teams working together, and we know we have to secure all the financing for all of the projects being run at the same time plus when they are to be published.
Also, we have to take into consideration the marketing budgets that needs to support each and every launch. And on top of that, we obviously want to maintain also a solid financial cash and -- this keeps us be flexible on a day-to-day basis and also allows us to jump on new business opportunities if they appear.
Okay. We have 1 more question from Pit Panatoski from mBank. And the question is, would it be possible to play songs of the past on PlayStation 4 Well, the answer is no.
I mean, we're targeting with this release, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC. So the last gen consoles are not going to be part of the release.
And I have also 1 more question this time from Nick Dems from Barclays. And the question is I know that you once to set out an exact time line for all of the releases in the world of the Witcher, but just commercially, in order for songs of the past to be allowed a good run at selling the kind of units you are hoping for. how much of a time gap would be sensible between the release of that expansion and the release of the 4?
That's a very complicated question but we're not really commenting on time lines and dates because answering that question specifically would really be doing that. and we're not. Like we haven't actually even set out a very specific date for songs of the past, just said, and we have not made any comments in the past and are not going to make them today, of course, for the 4 release date. So I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to be a little bit more patient.
The next question is from Thomas Roddy. Could you please comment on what are the financial targets for the motivation program are still considered achievable.
Please refer to the stage ending in 2026 and the stage ending in 2027. So as I already said, both are really ambitious, nothing is guaranteed, but we still believe that with the products we have in our pipelines. And with the initiatives we are currently working on we have a chance of reaching the goals of our incentive programs. .
Okay. And we have 1 more question from Sebastian Grabowski from ISB.
How do you see the role of Cyberbond TCG in this universe after successful kick starter. Do you plan to take stronger supervision on this project since your partner is actually a startup. Well, the role of CyberPoint TCG potentially can be massive and very important for us in terms of how it's with spreads, how it keeps the IP rolling amongst the fans of this particular way of having fun off-line. Do we keep to have a stronger supervision over weird co?
Well, not really. They are specialists in what they do. And in fact, even though they are a start-up, I mean, they came -- they come from a pretty experienced back and they have a long history of working in the TCG environment.
So I don't think we can -- even if we wanted, so we could actually give them value added in terms of how to make TCGs, if this is the question they know how to make them, they know how to sell them, they know how to market them. What we do give them, of course, is our help with law, our help with making sure that they stick to the what is Cyberpunk truly to the bot -- and of course, we help them in communicating to our community. So the find of cyber point, but that's as far as we go. We don't really go beyond that. And we don't really think they need that either.
Next question comes from Sebastian. How many not announced gaming projects in advanced stage you work on currently?
Let's define the advanced stage as those projects were being capitalized currently. So there are 2 unannounced gaming projects capitalized and also on nongaming project. .
Okay. And the next 1 is from David Mack from Arete Research. How does the release of songs of the past influence your thinking around the Wucarelease? Could the Expansion Act as a good reminder prologue in the marketing ahead of the Whitford which have 4 be released shortly after songs of the past? Or will you delay to maximize impact?
I'll start from the end. On the timing of what's going to be released and when exactly or how far apart from each other, we're not going to comment on that. In terms of the first part of the question, it's actually pretty interesting because it's probably going to be in a way all of that.
I mean, first and foremost, we really wanted to deliver a great experience to the fans, a really cool expansion that's going to have people that's going to make people happy that they can come back to the chore setting.
But of course, indirectly, yes, it is a reminder. It is, in a way, a prologue, although it's not eproogin a very betting way of it's a product the actual which are.
And yes, you can look at it as it's a way to maintain a certain chatter on the which of free. But all of those are like side effects, additional side effects. But the core thing for us from our perspective is really delivering a high-quality fund experience to the existing fans of the Witcher.
And I can also move straight to the next 1 from Potosi from what's going on with the mobile project? Is it the story for 2026?
Again, we don't comment on timing, but this time, I will make a small comment. It is definitely not a story for 26. We've been previously suggesting that this is going to take some time Scopely and their team.
They're very iterative, and they work very, very fast and very hard. But it's more about iteration and reaching a certain level of satisfaction that is felt on both sides, both them and us. So things are happening. But once again, it's definitely not a story for 2026.
Okay. It seems that we have no more questions. I would, therefore, like to thank all of you. I appreciate your time, your attendance. And obviously, should any further questions arise, come up, our lovely Investor Relations department remains at your disposal always. Otherwise, I hope you guys are going to have a wonderful evening. Goodbye and talk to you soon. See you also Bye-bye.
Thank you. Goodbye. This concludes our call for today. Thank you, and goodbye.

CD Projekt — Q4 2025 Earnings Call
1. Management Discussion
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by, and I would like to welcome you to CD Projekt full year 2025 earnings conference call on the 19th of March.
[Operator Instructions]
Without further ado, I would now like to pass the line to Mr. Michal Nowakowski, the Joint Chief Executive Officer. Please go ahead, sir.
Good afternoon. Hello. My name is Michal Nowakowski. I'm the Joint CEO of CD Projekt, and I will be hosting today's conference dedicated to CD Projekt Group's financial results for 2025. I will be co-presenting with Piotr Nielubowicz, our Chief Financial Officer, and after the presentation, we will invite you to participate in a Q&A session where we will be joined by Karolina Gnas, our VP and Head of Investor Relations. Starting off, I would like to briefly comment on an important event that took place at the end of 2025, namely the sale of GOG, the digital distribution segment of the CD Projekt Group. The rationale behind this deal is pretty straightforward. We want to focus entirely on game development and expansion of our franchises. As you know, we are upscaling our operations, working on multiple AAA projects simultaneously and developing new products around our IPs.
This dynamic growth demands our full attention and resources. What I do want to emphasize is that GOG remains an important distribution partner for us, and our plan is to continue releasing our future titles on this platform. Speaking of our games, moving to that subject, to the tenth anniversary, as we celebrated the tenth anniversary of The Witcher 3 release, we announced that the game has already sold over 60 million copies. If we include the first two installments of The Witcher trilogy, we arrive at a pretty nice figure of over 85 million copies sold worldwide. That is a stunning achievement. Seeing our games reach such a broad audience confirms that our stories and worlds continue to live on and resonate with gamers for years.
This, of course, makes the whole CD Projekt RED team very proud and motivated, especially as we continue to work on The Witcher 4, which will open a brand new saga in this universe. Yet we continue to explore new ways to introduce The Witcher games to new players. The inclusion of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition in the Xbox Game Pass library is a great opportunity to attract more gamers to our universe. In the 10 years since the release of The Witcher 3, an entirely new generation of players has emerged, many of whom have never fully experienced Geralt's story firsthand. Bringing the game to Game Pass allows us to bridge that gap and lets new players discover why The Witcher 3 became such an important title for so many others.
It's also a natural moment to reignite interest in the universe ahead of the new saga. Besides The Witcher games, we are also active in what we call the franchise flywheel area. What you see here is just a part of our recent achievements in this field. From a worldwide concert tour to merchandise, comic books, board games, and collaborations with other titles, we remain active on many fronts. By doing this, we offer our fans the opportunity to interact with The Witcher brand in various engaging ways, enabling them to stay immersed in the universe while anticipating our next major release. Importantly, in addition to the positive indirect effect of supporting sales of the games from The Witcher universe and helping keep the franchise relevant and visible to players, all these activities also have a direct material effect.
Since the release of The Witcher 3 in 2015, our franchise flywheel projects centered around The Witcher brand have brought in an extra PLN 100 million in revenue. Moving on to our second pillar, that is the Cyberpunk franchise. In 2025, we had the great pleasure of announcing further sales milestones. The base edition of Cyberpunk 2077 has sold over 35 million copies, whereas sales of the Phantom Liberty expansion crossed the 10 million mark. These numbers are the result of our continuous support for the title and commitment to enriching player experience. We still periodically roll out new smaller features and updates to the game, and we intend to continue doing so. Long-term support for our flagship titles is an important part of our strategy, and it's helping us sustain player interest and ensure that the game continues performing well in the long run.
Alongside our continuous support, bringing Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition to new platforms certainly boosted our sales figures as well. Last year, we released the game on Nintendo Switch 2 on the very day of the console's global launch. The title also made its debut on Mac devices with Apple silicon processors. Furthermore, last July, the base edition of the game was for the first time ever included in a subscription service entering the PlayStation Plus catalog. Following up on that, on Monday, we announced that Cyberpunk 2077 will get, in the following weeks, a free tech update that will take advantage of the expanded hardware capabilities offered by the PS5 Pro console. What's more, over a week ago, the game had joined the previously announced The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in the Xbox Game Pass catalog.
Just as with the PlayStation Plus catalog, the game is offered to subscribers in its base version. Players who wish to delve even deeper into the Cyberpunk world have the option to do so by purchasing the Phantom Liberty expansion separately. As for the franchise flywheel area for the Cyberpunk world, we are just as active here as in The Witcher universe. Our creativity and ambitions go really far. Together with our partners, we step beyond standard categories, offering unique products such as dedicated AR glasses, arcade machines straight out of Night City, or an upcoming proprietary Cyberpunk trading card game, by the way, whose Kickstarter campaign launched this week, already being the most funded TCG campaign launched on this platform, and those are only a few examples.
Since the release of Cyberpunk 2077 in 2020, our franchise flywheel activities have generated nearly PLN 70 million in additional revenue, which clearly demonstrates the strength and appeal of this brand. That's not the end. We have an important development update regarding our third franchise, Hadar. Work on the project is progressing dynamically, and the team has established the foundations of this entirely new IP. Now, we have clearly defined distinguishing features of this world and established key pillars that will not only provide a foundation for the game itself, but also potentially for other future products. Of course, this does not mean the end of work on IP itself, which will naturally continue to evolve and develop on many fronts over time. The team is now actively designing specific elements that might be included in a game.
We are creating multiple prototypes and implementing them directly into our real engine. This allows us to live-test and verify how selected mechanics and gameplay elements can perform. To conclude my part, let's briefly discuss changes in the size of our development teams. As of the end of February 2026, we had over 900 developers on board, meaning that an impressive number of more than 220 developers have joined our teams over the past year. Compared to October last year, most new hires are now part of the team working on The Witcher 4, where they help improve quality and scale-up solutions presented in the Unreal Fest tech demo across the entire game.
Having gained greater visibility of the game's scope, we are strengthening our internal teams, while at the same time recruiting top-class talent to provide long-term support in delivering both The Witcher 4 and our future titles. Of course, these headcount numbers only reflect the projects we are developing internally. They do not include projects that we do in cooperation with our external partners, including the one we are working on with Fool's Theory. We plan to reveal more information about this specific project later this year. In the current year, we plan to continue strengthening our development teams, working on key projects, and we want to continually attract the best talent in the industry, offering them a space for safe and inspiring development.
Now, that would be all from me, and I'm going to pass you into the hands of the one and only Piotr Nielubowicz.
Thank you, Michal, and good evening, everyone. Let's start the presentation of our 2025 financials with the consolidated profit and loss account on slide 13. First, a technical remark. Following the sale of GOG, which Michal already mentioned, effective January first this year, the group is continuing with activities previously described as the CD Projekt RED segment, so we will no longer distinguish separate segments in the context of our business and reporting. Accordingly, the GOG segment has been excluded from the consolidated P&L, and in accordance with IFRS, is presented as discontinued operations. Thus, the group's figures for 2024 and 2025, down as far as the net profit from continuing operations line, do not include GOG and present CD Projekt RED exclusively. Now, after this technical introduction, we can move on to numbers.
Our CD Projekt RED sales revenue for 2025 reached PLN 867 million, a 9% increase year-on-year. The main revenue drivers were sales of our own products, especially the Cyberpunk franchise, which performed 12% better than in 2024. Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty's long-term performance is visible on the next slide. In 2025, we recorded solid sales bolstered by two major events. As mentioned by Michal, the first was the June release of the game's Ultimate Edition on Nintendo Switch 2. The second event supporting our sales revenue was the introduction of the base edition of Cyberpunk to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscription services. At the same time, visible on the next page, revenues from The Witcher 3 remained strong, though they were lower than the year before, when we booked significant revenue from making The Witcher 3 available on PlayStation Plus.
Coming back to our P&L, the Cyberpunk launch on Nintendo Switch 2 also visibly impacted our sales of goods and materials line, where the 5x year-on-year increase was driven primarily by sales of physical cartridges for the Nintendo console. Cost of products and services sold were reduced by half in 2025, mainly for two reasons. First, the application of a declining amortization model, and second, the extension of the amortization scheme based on a re-estimation of the useful lives of our assets, which took place at the end of 2024. The cost of goods for resale and materials sold grew in line with the increased sales in this category and related to the Cyberpunk physical cartridges for Nintendo Switch 2. Moving to operating costs. Our selling expenses grew by PLN 27 million, reaching PLN 119 million.
The largest share and growth were attributable to promotion and servicing costs dedicated to Cyberpunk 2077, especially on the new platforms. When it comes to administrative expenses, they were slightly lower than in 2024. This was mainly due to lower research costs for games in the early conceptual phase. For most of the comparative period, these included expenditures related to Cyberpunk 2, which started to be capitalized back in 2024. In 2025, the research works line item was driven mainly by work on Project Hadar and some other tech and AI development projects we run in-house. All of the above resulted in an operating profit of over PLN 470 million, a nearly 30% increase year-over-year.
In 2025, the group reported again over PLN 60 million surplus of financial income over financial expenses, resulting mainly from interest income on bonds and bank deposits. Moving further to our income tax. In 2025, we recorded an effective tax rate of 3.2% within consolidated continuing operations. This relatively low rate was primarily influenced by the application of IP Box and R&D tax reliefs. The offsetting of capital gains income against tax losses from previous years, resulting in no capital gains tax and an increase in deferred tax assets, resulting mainly from the expected future increased utilization of the R&D tax relief. On top of the above, we have adjusted from 2025 to 2024 the correction of withholding tax from previous years.
This resulted in a change of nearly PLN 26 million, which reduced the tax this year versus what we were presenting in our intermediate reports and increased the tax level in 2024. As part of the year-end closing process, we decided to change the presentation by restating the comparative period as this approach was deemed more appropriate. As a result, the reported tax and net profit for 2024 you see here differs slightly from the figures we presented a year ago. Finally, our net profit from continuing operations reached PLN 521 million, making 2025 the second-best year in our history. This is nearly 1/5 higher than in 2024, a result we are really happy with. The net profitability of over 60% speaks for itself.
Adding nearly PLN 74 million from discontinued operations, representing the after-tax gain on the sale of GOG and its 2025 net results, our total net profit reached an impressive PLN 595 million. I always like to look at results and trends in a longer perspective. Therefore, the next slide presents the financial performance of our continuing operations, basically the CD Projekt RED segment. Our sales revenues are represented by the height of each entire bar. The gray part represents costs and taxes, and the remaining green part shows our net profit for each year.
This perspective demonstrates not only that the past year was the second-best year in our history in terms of net profit, but also that our net profitability reached a historically high level of 60%, comparable only to 2020, the record-breaking year of Cyberpunk 2077's launch. The data reflect our continuing operations with no influence of the GOG transaction.
Now we can move on to the next slide #18, our consolidated balance sheet. On the asset side, first, the core of our business, expenditures and development projects. The balance for the full year 2025 increased by PLN 453 million to nearly PLN 1.150 billion. New developments, mainly The Witcher 4, Cyberpunk 2, and Sirius, as well as several projects that are still unannounced, accounted for over PLN 0.5 billion of new investments.
At the same time, there was a PLN 57 million decrease due to amortization, driven mainly by the already released Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty. In line with the recent and planned expansion of our development activities, we continue to invest in our infrastructure, as seen in the PLN 72 million increase in the property, plant, and equipment line item. This was mainly driven by the investments at our Warsaw campus, namely the final touches to the construction and fit-out of our new office building, which since June houses The Witcher 4 team. The second investment has been our new performance capture studio, which is expected to be completed this year.
In 2025, we also expanded our Boston office, which required certain investments into fit-out and equipment. The significant growth of our added current assets is the result of increased balance of advance payments and advances to our contractors and suppliers and outstanding receivable from the sale of GOG shares at the very end of December. This receivable was paid at the beginning of the current year, which will naturally be reflected in the cash flow in Q1 2026. The total value of cash deposits and bonds included in the three asset items marked with an asterisk is summed up below the table and amounts to PLN 1.325 billion as of the end of 2025. I will have a separate slide to provide some more insight into our main cash flow drivers for this year.
Moving forward to equity and liabilities, slide 19. The most noticeable change here is the increase in our equity, driven by the strong financial performance of 2025 and the recognition of costs related to incentive programs, which together significantly offset the reduction in equity resulting from the 2024 dividend payout. Anticipating your possible next question, the board has not yet made a decision regarding the recommendation for the allocation of 2025 profits. When it comes to liabilities, the decrease is mainly due to the absence of GOG's trade liabilities at the end of 2025, as they were part of this line item at the end of the corresponding period.
Now please move on to the next slide #20. CD Projekt RED's expenditures on research works, development and cost of product maintenance, presented here on a quarterly basis for 2025 and the comparative periods. The bars speak for themselves. Our production capacity is gaining more and more momentum. Investments in our projects, some public, some unannounced, are constantly growing. The majority of what we present here in green relates to capitalized projects, which reflects their stage of advancement as well as our confidence in their future economic potential.
Finally, our main aggregated cash flow drivers on slide 21. Cash wise, the PLN 521 million book net profit from continuing operations was supported by PLN 112 million in amortization, depreciation, and non-cash costs of our share-based incentive programs. At the same time, PLN 125 million was spent on the acquisition of tangible and intangible assets. As discussed on the balance sheet slide, our typical cash flow working capital corrections largely offset each other.
Summing it all up, we generated an estimated positive cash flow of PLN 512 million from our ongoing business. This figure is almost equal to our spending on development projects for the full year, which amounted to PLN 513 million. We can therefore say that our current cash flows allowed us to fund nearly 100% of our development expenditures in 2025. On top of that, at the beginning of July last year, we shared with our shareholders a nearly PLN 100 million dividend, which was later followed by a PLN 22 million share buyback. The last position here reflects the cash at GOG. Before the transaction, we received a PLN 44 million dividend from GOG. Following that, on the transaction day, GOG had PLN 23 million on its bank accounts, and we sold the company with that cash balance.
Therefore, both the company and its cash left the group, and we have reflected this, that in the calculation. All in all, our financial reserves held in cash, bank deposits and bonds decreased by PLN 147 million over the reporting period, which was by far the year of the most intensive investment in development projects in our history. Our financial reserves stood at a solid PLN 1.325 billion at the end of 2025. Moving on, as we are concluding another year, I would like to show you where we currently stand in terms of achieving the goals of our share-based incentive programs, especially the first stage, which concludes at the end of the current year. Please move to slide 22.
The earnings condition for 2023 to 2026 was set at PLN 2 billion in cumulative net profit from continuing operations. After three out of four years, we are at 74% of the goal. PLN 527 million still remains to be earned this year to reach the target. As always, I'd like to emphasize we still see it as a very ambitious goal. We continue to believe that with strong back catalog sales performance this year and the new content we are planning to release, we have a fair chance of reaching it.
That concludes my part of the presentation. We can now move on to the Q&A session.
[Operator Instructions] Okay, our first voice question comes from Nick Dempsey from Barclays.
2. Question Answer
The first one, just sort of based on the current trajectory of hiring and your further plans for that as we get closer to the launch of The Witcher 4, would you expect the cash expenditure on development projects to step up notably in 2026 versus the PLN 513 million that you reported in 2025? Second question, in terms of what the project that Fool's Theory is working on, if that is going to contribute to your revenues this year, when would we need to first hear about it? In other words, what is the gap between it being launched and it being first mentioned to the world what they're working on?
The last question, Yes, in terms of hitting the PLN 2 billion from incentive programs, I guess the Game Pass inclusions will be one help. Fool's Theory may be another. Could there be anything else that will be helping to fill up that '26 that's remaining?
Hello, Nick. Piotr here. The first question was on the increased expenditures on developing our games further to getting closer to The Witcher 4 launch. The general answer is yes. As it was presented during my presentation over the last two years, we were stably growing the expenditures on research and development of our games. As we also guided some time ago, we plan to increase the total developers' headcount of the company. This will naturally translate into higher expenditures over time. You ask whether the step up will be noticeable. This is obviously somehow subjective, but we are not planning to do something unexpected or going out of the trends that historically applied for the company.
In terms of the project from Fool's Theory, as it was said, we will come back with more news later this year. For now, we have nothing to share. We're not sharing anything yet. Having said that, and already moving to the third question, as far as the incentive program goal is mentioned, in order to reach it, we need good sales of the existing back catalog, we need new products to launch successfully, and we need continuation of the great monetization of our franchise flywheel and all of the supporting products. With all that run successfully, we believe we can help for reaching the goal. As I said, it's ambitious and nothing's guaranteed.
Our next voice question comes from Piotr Poniatowski from mBank.
Hi guys. Congratulations on the financial results. If we can go one by one because I got a set of questions, and probably the first ones are for Michal, I think. First of all, could you share your take from GDC? What were the main topics there?
Okay. You want to go one by one like that? I thought you're going to list all of them first, and then we're going to go. That's probably easier, actually. Talk from GDC. Well, we had a bunch of actually business meetings which are kind of confidential, so I cannot share. If you're asking more of what was the main word on the streets, then obviously the main subject in the industry continues to be AI. Of course, this is the thing that everybody has been talking about.
A little bit on consolidation sides, as we've seen quite quite big moves, quite big acquisitions happening last year, of course, EA and so on. I'd say like on the street level, big, small developers, everybody's been talking about AI, where it's going to take us, what's the future ahead and so on. This was definitely the main thing.
All right. Like a follow-up, what's your opinion on the direction the market might take given the, let's say, leadership change at Microsoft Gaming? Would it be more AI in the development of games or?
Can I ask again? That was a question about the change of leadership at Microsoft specifically?
Yes. Yes.
Okay. You know, it's very hard to say. I mean, I had a chance to both say goodbye to Phil and meet Asha Sharma while there. It was literally she's very fresh in the role. She's just taking the reins of the Xbox division and figuring out what's what and so on. She's a super smart person, and Phil has been very welcoming her. The team has been very welcoming to her. She took the time to meet, I think, a lot of people from the industry, which is always a good sign. It's not that stage yet where they share like thoughts as in, is there going to be more AI, less AI, or any specific moves.
I think what we all heard from her, and also from Phil Spencer, who is sort of stepping down, is that they do want to go behind the Xbox brand a lot, and that this was the main take from that meeting, but nothing really deeper than that just yet. I'm sure we're going to hear more in the future.
All right. Thanks. Could you comment anything on your meeting with Kojima? Are you cooking anything with them, with him?
We didn't meet Kojima at GDC, but I'm understanding you're referring to.
November, Yes.
Last year's meeting. Well, if we were cooking anything, of course, as is typically the case, conferences are not the place to confirm that at all. To be frank our relationship with Kojima goes way back. He visited us in the past. You know, when we're in Japan, we like to pay him a visit. We did collaborations like an Easter egg in CDPR. I'm specifically toning down the expectations here because this is more the direction of our relations with Kojima so far. We admire him. He's a great creator. I think he likes us as well. But that's about that.
Okay, thanks. I had to ask. Yes, some questions regarding your, let's say, projects you have announced, but we don't know what's going on there. Maybe with live action project, are you already capitalizing costs of it or what's the stage of it?
The question is about unannounced projects.
Unannounced.....
In general.....
You had already announced that you are, let's say, thinking about live action project.
Live action. Okay, you mean live....
Yes....
Yes, I mean, there's nothing new we can announce, sadly. I really would love to share more with you. But this is not the moment where I can add any crisp details for you to chew into. We are working towards it. We see some movement that's we think is interesting, but it's far from the point where we'd be able to kind of go out of the tube and say, this is what's happening. So unfortunately, you're going to still have to bear with us. And there is no capitalization going on of any kind in that regard. Like, our list of unannounced projects does not include that specific one.
Okay. Does it include mobile project made with Scopely or also not?
So the Scopely......
I can take this one. Unless, Michal you want. Scopely does the job on their side, and we're obviously not capitalizing work done by a third party who is running the job and who will be finally publishing the game.
All right. Can we expect it to happen this year, the release, or you don't want to share anything yet?
I mean, we don't have anything specific when it comes to dates to be shared, but I would really rather assume this is something to look forward to later than a year from now. I mean, these things take a lot of time to iterate test internally with test scripts and so on. I would really not expect anything very soon.
Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much. We don't have any other voice questions at the moment, so I'm going to pass the line to the management team for the text questions.
The first question is from Krzysztof Kot from Erste. "What does the quality control process look like for projects developed by external studios such as Fool's Theory? Are you satisfied with the cooperation with this studio?" In case of this cooperation and a few others, actually, we have a dedicated internal QA team that monitors development progress on an ongoing basis and of course participates in checking out these projects for playtest and so on.
There's also a group within CDPR that supports external teams, provides them with feedback, anything else they may need in terms of, I don't know, lore or any specific assets, helps them to to develop project solutions and ensures any lore consistency troubles they may run into are solved as well efficiently. We also usually work according to some milestone schedule projects like that. There is quite a bit of our involvement, and we actually prepped a setup for that. Yes, we're quite satisfied specifically with Fool's Theory, where we are with them, and when the project we're working on with them is heading. I'll actually stay online.
The second question is from Grzegorz Balcerski from Trigon. When do you plan to ramp up marketing efforts for the new game content you've announced for this year? Should we expect a longer marketing campaign, several months or weeks? Or is a shadow drop still a possibility? I like to say everything is a possibility. Having said that, our experience and our preference for the type of games we make is a little bit longer term marketing campaigns. We think they tend to work a little bit better than a simple mic drop at some conference or event. Yes, I would rather point in that direction.
The next one is from Michal? Wojciechowski, IPOPEMA Securities, and I will take this one. The question is, good evening. Could you comment on the increase in The Witcher 4 team? During previous calls, you suggested that the team size should not expand. Has your approach changed? Do you expect further increase? What I'm about to say I think is true to all projects. The further you go, the more visibility you get. As for The Witcher 4, we are adjusting the size of team to meet our production needs. Right now, The Witcher 4 team is around 500 people, and we are now hiring where we see gaps. But also we take some opportunities when exceptional talent becomes available, obviously. One more important point here, we are currently using less outsourcing that was planned.
Cost-wise, these two things like naturally balance each other.
The next question comes from Nicolas Langlet, BNP Paribas. Can you update on the number of unannounced projects you have and how many might release in 2026? In general, we probably have a wider number of unannounced projects, but those ones in the more advanced stage, so those ones that are being capitalized. As of December 31, 2025, in the books we discussed under the expenditures on development projects in progress, we actually had four such projects, unannounced, already capitalized, out of which one was non-gaming and three were gaming projects.
Okay. The next one is also from Christoph Koch from Erste. The question is: Is the technological update for Cyberpunk 2077 being developed by Virtuos?
I'm assuming this is about the PS5 Pro update we discussed in the conference. The answer is no. This is developed with a different partner. It's actually the answer is we're partly developing it in-house in collaboration with the external partner. Specifically, this is Yigsoft from Hungary.
Another question from Nicolas Langlet, BNP Paribas. Do you need more than one unannounced project to match the 2023 to 2026 management incentive program? Unfortunately, I cannot comment on that as probably there is no good answer that could be definitive and sure. Another one also from Nicolas Langlais. Game CapEx reached PLN 153 million in Q4 '25 and PLN 513 million for the financial year '25.
How should we think about the evolution of development spend and headcount in 2026? I partially already covered that. Although we are not guiding precisely, or we are not guiding the future, the natural law of development is that the closer you get to launch and the more advanced the projects are, usually the team also grows. Right now, we're running multiple projects, some at an earlier phase, some more advanced. In general, the investments that we will be making into them will most probably naturally grow.
Okay. The next one is from Grzegorz Balcerski from Trigon. Why did you decide to make The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition available on Xbox Game Pass? Typically, in such partnerships, you've made the base game available, hoping to boost DLC sales. Could this be related to the planned new content for existing games? I like that question. It's very detailed.
You know, the truth is the game has been out there for almost 11 years, 11 will be, I think, made this year. You know, we've been selling for most of that time GOTY version with so the one with 2 expansions, as you noted, for many years as well. I think we just came to that moment in the life cycle of the game where this was more attractive from the new players' perspective. As we mentioned, we want to kind of bridge that generational gap, perspective. This is more attractive offering to allow them to familiarize themselves with you know, with The Witcher adventures before you know, the upcoming release of The Witcher 4.
The next question came from [ Sebastian Golkowski ], [indiscernible]. Could you comment on current year's expenditures in comparison to '25? Actually, we do not guide on future costs. However, together with accelerating projects and new recruitments, you can naturally expect the expenditures to increase this year comparing to the historical 2025.
Okay. Since we see no further questions, I think that's going to be it for today. We really appreciate your attendance and should any questions arise after this call, any afterthoughts, any additional inquiries please direct them to our magnificent investor relations team. I'm sure they will be happy to pick them up and come back to you. Otherwise, I wish you all a wonderful evening and goodbye and till the next time. Thank you.
Thank you. This concludes our call for today. We are now closing all the lines. Goodbye

Ausblick & Guidance
Das Management plant, Personal und Entwicklungsinvestitionen weiter zu erhöhen, insbesondere in den Projekten, die The Witcher 4 betreffen. Es gibt keine explizite Umsatz- oder Kostenguidance für 2026; man verweist darauf, dass der Weg zum 2-Mrd.- PLN-Ziel des Incentive-Programms von starken Back-Katalog-Verkäufen, neuen Inhalten und einer fortgesetzten Monetarisierung der Franchise-Laufbahn abhängt. Früh angekündigte Inhalte, längere Marketing-Kampagnen statt "mic drop"-Strategien, sowie neue Plattform- und Inhaltsstrategien (Game Pass, PlayStation Plus) werden als Treiber genannt. Risiken und Unsicherheiten werden durch die Abhängigkeit von Back-Katalog-Verkäufen, Launch-Zeitplänen und Talentakquise betont.
CD Projekt — Shareholder/Analyst Call - CD Projekt S.A.
1. Management Discussion
Good morning again, and welcome to everyone here in the room as well as those watching online streaming. Welcome to the Extraordinary General Meeting of CD Projekt S.A.

CD Projekt — Q3 2025 Earnings Call
1. Management Discussion
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by, and I would like to welcome you to CD Projekt Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call.
I will now pass the line to Michal Nowakowski, Joint CEO of CD Projekt.
Okay. Thank you, and good afternoon, everyone. My name is Michal Nowakowski, and I'll be your host during today's conference dedicated to the CD Projekt Group's financial results for the third quarter of 2025. I will be co-presenting with Piotr Nielubowicz. And after the presentation, we will traditionally invite you to participate in a Q&A session where we'll be joined by Karolina Gnas, our VP and Head of Investor Relations.
So starting off, I'm thrilled to announce that just on the eve of its fifth anniversary, Cyberpunk 2077 has just surpassed the 35 million copies sold milestone. This is not only a remarkable achievement for us, but also a powerful testament to the strength of the franchise and the effectiveness of our business strategy. We deliver high-quality story-driven games that keep selling, supported by content updates that ensure our games continue to evolve and engage players for years.
Staying on the Cyberpunk sales topic, let me briefly walk you through the game's performance on the PlayStation platform. As you probably noticed, in July, we introduced Cyberpunk 2077 to the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium catalog. For the first time ever, we offered this game as part of a subscription service. Based on the data from the first 4 months of the games availability to subscribers, we see that the interest in the Cyberpunk franchise on PlayStation remains strong, and that game continues to reach new groups of players on that platform.
And just for the sake of clarity, the 35 million number that I mentioned on the previous slide included only direct purchases of the game. And any time we're going to mention a number like that, that's also going to be only about the sales, not accounting for any downloads from the subscription catalog.
Coming back to the subject, beyond the direct positive financial impact that the PlayStation licensing deal had on our Q3 results, we are particularly glad to see that many of these new players choose to buy the Phantom Liberty expansion and expand their adventures in the Night City.
The upcoming Cyberpunk anniversary coincides with another important date for the company and the IP. 2 years ago, we launched our Boston Hub and started building the team responsible for the next Cyberpunk title there. We'd like to take this opportunity to give you a quick update and shed some light on our plans for the development of the Cyberpunk 2 team, especially in the context of the Boston hub.
Initially, this began with transferring the core team, which consisted of studio veterans previously involved in the development of Cyberpunk 2077 and the Phantom Liberty expansion to spearhead the project. This group has significantly expanded since then, joined by skilled industry professionals with a proven track record of well-known AAA projects such as GTA, God of War, World of Warcraft or [indiscernible], and those are only some of the many examples.
Currently, the Boston-based part of Cyberpunk 2 team consists of over 80 members with more than 90% of them holding senior level positions. Having accomplished our goal of building a strong leadership team at its core, we are now shifting to hiring more mid-entry-level roles to carry on with preproduction works. We plan to expand the Boston-based Cyberpunk team as the project progresses and double it within the next 2 years. We also intend to shift the split between the Boston-based team and the teams in Vancouver and Warsaw to around 50% in the coming years as the Canadian and Polish team will be steadily growing in size as well.
Establishing the Boston-based Cyberpunk 2 team enabled us to carry on with the development of 2 separate big AAA games at the same time. Despite introducing some geographical and operational complexity, it brought in a wealth of multilayered experience, skills and backgrounds. We strongly believe that this investment will pay off in the future, bringing the next Cyberpunk experience to a new level.
Getting back to the topic of current recruitment, let me briefly walk you through the final slide of my part of the presentation, which discusses recent changes in the size of our project teams. Over this year, our recruitment efforts have shifted into higher gear driven by the needs of our expanding projects. This trend was maintained over the past 3 months with over 50 talented developers joining the studio and its teams. The majority of new hires are part of the Cyberpunk 2 team as the project continues its preproduction phase works.
And with that, I'll be ending. That will be all for me. And now it's time for Piotr and the financial part. So Piotr, feel free to take it.
Thank you, Michal, and good evening, everyone. Let's start with our consolidated profit and loss account on Slide 7. Our group sales revenue for the third quarter of 2025 reached nearly PLN 350 million. That's 53% more than in the corresponding period last year. Naturally, most of this revenue came from sales of our own products, especially the Cyberpunk family. It's worth mentioning that regular sales of Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty on PC, Xbox and PlayStation generated higher revenues in this year's Q3 than the year before.
On top of that, we booked income attributable to introducing the base edition of Cyberpunk to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscription services as well as to sales of the ultimate edition of the game for the Nintendo Switch 2 and Mac platforms. Talking about the Cyberpunk product family, all of the above resulted in a more than twofold increase in revenues compared to Q3 2024.
At the same time, revenues from sales of the Witcher games were lower compared to last year when in Q3, we had booked revenue from the Witcher 3 being also made available on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium. Our sales of goods and materials reached PLN 58 million and recorded a 24% growth versus last year, while GOG's contribution to this line item was stable, despite a strengthening of the zloty versus the U.S. dollar and euro. In the case of the CD PROJEKT RED segment, the figure reached over PLN 14 million, which is 10x more than in the reference period. This was driven mainly by our sales of physical cartridges of Cyberpunk Ultimate Edition for Nintendo Switch 2.
Our cost of products and services sold was lower in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 of the previous year, mainly for 2 reasons. First, due to applying a declining amortization model; and second, because we had extended the amortization scheme based on an estimation of the useful lives of our assets, which happened at the end of 2024. The cost of goods for resale and materials sold grew in line with the discussed increase of sales in this category.
Moving on to operating costs. In Q3 2025, they were slightly higher versus the previous year, especially with regards to selling expenses, due to our promotional activity related to the Cyberpunk product family, including the Nintendo Switch to Edition as well as some expenses on our game's updates. Administrative costs remained flat year-over-year.
And finally, our net profit for the third quarter of 2025 reached PLN 193 million. This figure is 2.5x higher than the year before. The numbers speak for themselves. We are also very proud of our results in the 9 consecutive months of 2020 -- for the 9 consecutive months of 2025. Our revenues grew 21% and net profit increased by 40%, reaching nearly PLN 350 million. Most of that was delivered by the CD PROJEKT RED segment. Please take a look at the segment's results in a broader perspective on the next slide.
This year, we generated even higher sales and more profits than 2 years ago, which is when Phantom Liberty was launched. In recent years, we also recorded a steady increase of the net profitability factor, which for the first 9 months of this year reached 53% in the CD PROJEKT RED segment. As shown on the P&L slide, in the third quarter alone, this factor stood at an impressive 63%.
Now let's take a look at the next slide, #10, our consolidated balance sheet. On the asset side, first, the usual expenditures on development projects. The balance here increased by PLN 122 million, driven by PLN 137 million in development expenses, less PLN 15 million from amortization of previously launched games. During the past quarter, the total balance of this line item exceeded PLN 1 billion. Out of this total number, PLN 173 million corresponds to our finished products, mainly Phantom Liberty, Cyberpunk and its next-gen Switch 2 and Apple versions.
Works in progress account for PLN 847 million in development expenditures. Here, the main share comes from investing in the development of the Witcher 4 Series and Cyberpunk 2. We also have a few other capitalized gaming and nongaming projects, which differ in terms of scale and stage of development.
We also continue investing in our local physical assets as evidenced by the nearly PLN 19 million increase in the property, plant and equipment line item. This was mainly driven by the investments at our Warsaw campus, final touches to the construction and fit-out of our new office building, which since June houses the Witcher 4 team as well as recently initiated work on our new performance capture studio eclipse with 2 stages, which once finished, will help us work faster and more efficiently on 2 projects at the same time.
The total value of cash deposits and bonds included in the 3 asset items marked with an asterisk is summed up under the table and amounts to PLN 1.408 billion as of the end of September. As usual, I will have a separate slide to provide more insight on our main cash flow drivers during that period.
Moving forward to equity and liabilities, Slide 11. The most noticeable change here involves the increase in our equity driven by the strong financial performance of the recent Q3. In addition, we reported a PLN 99.9 million decrease in liabilities due to the dividend payout, which took place in July.
Now please move on to the next slide, #12, to the CD PROJEKT RED's expenditures on research works, development and cost of product maintenance presented here on a quarterly basis over the past 7 quarters. We continue to increase investments in our projects, both public and unannounced, developed either internally or outsourced. The majority of what we present here in blue relates to capitalized projects, which reflects their stage of advancement as well as our confidence in their future economic potential.
And finally, my favorite, our engagement -- our aggregated cash flow drivers on Slide 13. The PLN 193 million book net profit was supported by PLN 32 million in amortization, depreciation and noncash costs of our share-based incentive programs. At the same time, PLN 40 million was expensed on the acquisition of tangible and intangible assets. The overall change in receivables, liabilities, provisions and deferrals boosted our cash flows by PLN 31 million. Putting dividends, share buyback and investments into currently developed products aside, our ongoing business generated a healthy PLN 221 million in positive cash flows during the third quarter of 2025.
During the same time, most of our team was engaged in work on new projects, hence, the nearly PLN 180 million outflow associated with development projects. And at the beginning of July, we shared with our shareholders a nearly PLN 100 million dividend, which was later followed by a PLN 22 million share buyback.
All in all, after all the reported investments and financial activity related to dividend and share buyback, our financial reserves kept in cash, bank deposits and bonds decreased by only PLN 19 million, 1% over the reporting period and stood at PLN 1.4 billion at the end of September.
Moving on. As the past quarter was a significant step in terms of our bottom line, I would like to show you where we currently stand in terms of achieving the goals of our share-based incentive program.
Please move to Slide 14. The earnings condition for 2023 to 2026 was set at PLN 2 billion in cumulative net profit. After 11 out of 16 quarters, PLN 700 million still remains to be earned to reach this target, although it's a very ambitious goal, we believe that if things go according to our plan, we have a fair chance of reaching it. Given our current progress, there is a chance that new content hinted upon in recent calls and reports may see release in the coming year, having an impact on our results and increasing the likelihood of achieving the earnings condition for the first stage of the incentive program.
That's all from me. We can now move on to the Q&A session. Thank you.
[Operator Instructions] We have our first question that comes from Nick Dempsey from Barclays.
2. Question Answer
Yes. I've got 2 questions, please. So in terms of the 2 factors that are helping you this year, which are not just pure unit sales, we've got the PlayStation Plus benefit and the Switch 2 benefit. In terms of the PlayStation Plus benefit, can I assume that, that benefit has all happened in Q3 in a one-off payment? Or should I assume that there's more to come in terms of that benefit? And then for Switch 2, could we assume even more in the next quarter because Switch 2 is expected to be a big holiday season seller? So that's the first question.
And then in terms of Piotr's favorite slide, the expenditure on development projects of 118, I think we had in Q1, 100 and then in Q2, 142 and now we've got 118. Can you just kind of talk about the lumpiness in there because I wasn't really expecting it to go down as it's basically people and they're going up.
Okay. So starting from the first 2, they are easier than the third one. Yes, this Q3, we recorded all of the revenue related to our agreement with Sony on including Cyberpunk in the PlayStation Plus system. You mentioned it's one-off. It's one-off. To a certain degree, it is a one-off. But at the same time, I would like to underline that it was an intentional business decision made on us, decision directly related to the core of the business we run. So it wasn't a lottery win. It was conscious life cycle management.
And to make it even more not a one-off type of revenue, I would like to underline that a year ago, exactly Q3 2024, we also recorded revenues related to becoming a partner of PlayStation Plus. But back then, it was done based on the Witcher -- Witcher 3 game. So such revenues happen in our business. And answering directly the question, we recorded both of them 100% either now in Q3 '25 or back then with Witcher 3 in Q3 '24.
The expenditures on development projects, 111, this is cash flow-wise. And this may differ from period-to-period versus what we record book-wise. And basically, book-wise, our investment into development of projects was presented on the nicely growing table with the blue color and quarter-to-quarter, we invest more into future projects. And 118 was part of the cash flow presentation and related directly the sales, the cash flows attributed to the development, and they may be somehow desynchronized with the bookings we do. But in general, we develop and spend more and more quarter-by-quarter.
And there was also the Switch 2 mentioned, okay. And you ask as far as I remember, can we assume even more sales this quarter, the fourth quarter than what we recorded in the first quarter. So we never guide future projects, future period sales. But what I can say is that we feel to be well positioned with Cyberpunk on the Switch 2 platform. It's one-of-a-kind offering we have for gamers, which is nicely, strongly growing. Also, the guidance from Nintendo recently increased the volumes of the console they expect to sell, and this puts us in a nice position to expect longevity of the title on this platform. And Q4, usually, as we all know, is seasonally an important period of the year.
[Operator Instructions] We have some text questions. So maybe I will pass the line to the company to read them and answer them.
So I think I got a first question from [ Christof Koch ] from [ Erste ]. The question is, does the company plan to conduct any marketing activities related to new projects later this year?
So we are typically not commenting on marketing activities or lack of them -- ahead of them because they're traditionally is supposed to be a surprise. But if you're alluding or asking about our presence at the TGA, The Game Awards, well, we're not bringing any new content to TGA this year. Let me say it straight. But we will be present there as part of the show because we're very happy. We're very proud to be nominated with Witcher 4 as the most anticipated game.
And I'd like to thank from this space to everyone who has already voted for us. That means a lot to us. Thanks, everybody. But we'll be there to watch the show and celebrate this event with the rest of the peers from the industry.
And I think the second question I can take as well. That's from [indiscernible] from [indiscernible]. And the question is, is the Cyberpunk 2 team nearing somehow the end of preproduction work? Or is that still a long way off?
Well, we're happy with the progress Cyberpunk 2 team has made so far, but it's for sure, too early to talk about entering any next stage or phase of this project. We'll, for sure, make a proper update and statement when that time comes.
So I will take the third one from Nicolas Langlet, BNP Paribas. Are you able to quantify the contribution from licensing deal with PlayStation for Cyberpunk 2077 in the third quarter '25?
Well, I'm sorry, but we cannot share any details regarding the payment, the remuneration. However, as I said, it has had a visible impact on our top line in the third quarter we just published. But what I would like once again to underline that it was not the only driver for the growth of revenues. We also enjoyed higher sales of Cyberpunk on the old platforms and also the new revenue driver came from Nintendo Switch 2 version.
And I will read the next question from [ Christof Koch ] from [ Erste ]. After adding Cyberpunk to the PlayStation Plus subscription, has the company seen a decline in Cyberpunk sales on PlayStation 5?
I'll take this one. So there is always a hit to current sales of the game when you launch on a subscription basis. We launched in PS Plus the base game, so without the expansion. However, what is important to stress what we take into account in our planning is we do want to generate a surplus from what the game would normally do within a certain given moment of time, and we do believe we did that with this particular entry into the subscription. And also, we have created an opportunity to upsell additional copies for Phantom -- of Phantom Liberty of the expansion within that time frame. So this is beneficial in our opinion, to the bottom line for the company and the long-term performance of CP 2077 as well.
Okay. So I will take the next one from [ Christof Koch, Erste ] again. The question is approximately how many people at full CRE are working on the new unannounced project? And when did development on this project begin?
Over 100 people right now. And regarding time line, we do not have any comment. So thank you. And...
And I'll get the next one. It's coming from Nicolas Langlet from BNP Paribas. And the question is, can you share more detail about where you are in the Witcher 4 development process? And what are the key technical design risks that could shift the release window.
So as we have already stated, I mean, the Witcher 4 is in the full-scale production phase. And we're not fully disclosing any details regarding the target release dates. So there is no, I'd say, point in time I could refer to answering such questions. I mean the only thing we're commenting is we're not launching in '26. And we're also not really typically getting into any, I don't know, specifics when it comes to technical or design. I mean there's nothing out of ordinary, I'd say, in that area happening with the Witcher 4. So I mean, it's just full-scale production going at its pace for our internal plans. And I think that's as much as we can...
Okay. We have another voice question that comes from Piotr Poniatowski from mBanku maklerskie.
A couple of questions. How many unannounced projects are being capitalized? How many of them are gaming projects? Do these unannounced projects include board games or any trading card games, let's say? Would you consider Whiter IP-based board game as a gaming project? So that's, let's say, a pack of questions.
Another thing, what is going on with Sirius and Hadar projects? And as a follow-up to the full theory question, how many people are working at full theory on Witcher 1 remake? That would be all.
I'll try to tackle some of them. I think we're not disclosing details, correct me if I'm wrong, of how many projects are gaming or nongaming, et cetera. So I won't be able to help here. I can comment on the card game, Cyberpunk card game. I saw there was a lot of, I think, confusion around that one. So let me state it clearly. This is a physical collectible collectors card game, TCG. It's not a video game project. What was the remaining part of the question? There was quite a few things that were in there.
The question was whether that project is among the already mentioned unannounced projects?
No, we are not developing it ourselves. We are not capitalizing expenditures on that. And we didn't mention either the board games nor the Gwent collectible card game as the unannounced project from us.
As for the Hadar and Sirius projects, they're in their respective stages of -- for Sirius development and Hadar still IP preproduction, if you want to call it that way.
In terms of the full theory, I think we stated in the past that majority of the team is currently involved with the other projects and also support of the Witcher 4. So there is some limited team working on the Witcher 1, but it's -- since this is very much tied with the Witcher 4 development, this is also why we have made this move. I think we explained that in the past. That's why on the Witcher 1 per se, it's a smaller group of people directly at this moment in time.
Okay. So I will pass the line for -- back for the text questions that have come in.
Right. So the next question comes again from Nicolas Langlet, BNP Paribas. On the Scopely mobile partnership, anything to share about the progress of the discussion? Do you expect to book any upfront payment of the collaboration in 2026?
So what I can say for now is that this project is still in a very early phase. And regarding the potential booking of revenues on our side, unfortunately, I have nothing to guide in terms of our 2026 revenues.
And the next one is again from Nicolas Langlet from BNP Paribas. And the question is, any update you can make on the use of Unreal Engine 5 for the full production process of Witcher 4. Do you expect next games in the Witcher trilogy can be delivered on a shorter and more predictable cadence?
So we've been using the UE 5 for the Witcher 4 for almost 5 years right now, and we're very happy with what we've achieved. I think some of that you could have seen with your own eyes with the demo we have unraveled at the Unreal Fest a couple of months ago, and we're very happy with the results of that as well. We said that, but I'm always happy to say it again.
And we're happy with how the Engine is evolving for the Epic team's efforts and how we are learning how to make it work within a huge open world games as Witcher 4 is meant to be. And in a way, yes, I do believe that next games should be delivered in a shorter period of time because as we have stated before that the plan still is to launch the whole trilogy within a total of 6-year period. So that would mean, yes, we would plan to have shorter development time between Witcher 4 and 5, 5 and 6 and so on. So I think...
And next question comes from Konrad Krasuski, Bloomberg. Does government plan to control self-employed in companies to check whether such agreements should be rather typical employment contracts may impact way CD PROJEKT operates?
So in general, something you named the typical employment contract. This is our main type of contract. However, obviously, due to the nature of our business, we collaborate with various artists and freelancers using also different forms of allowed cooperation. Having said that, we still do not know the final legislation, which you're referring to as it's unknown, and we are continuously monitoring the work on the changes of the regulations.
The next question is also from Konrad Krasuski from Bloomberg. And the question is, how would you describe the current availability of IT talent to your studios given numerous reports that AI is making many people redundant. Can you imagine that you may reduce headcount, thanks to AI tools in the near future without any harm to work on your next project?
So I mean, we are not really hiring classic IT, but I understand it's supposed to touch on like the gaming industry talent. So I mean, the availability of the talent has been maybe a little bit more increased over the past 2 years. But I'm not sure I would actually necessarily ascribe it to AI, to be perfectly honest. I mean the studios, various studios were going through various turmoils. There were some project closures and so on. So yes, there's been many redundancies in the games industry. And we've all seen that. And it's been very dramatic in many cases.
But I -- literally kill me here, but I don't recall a single time where it would be directly ascribed to AI. At least I don't know about that.
And can we imagine that we reduce headcount, thanks to AI tools?
I don't imagine that. Our usage of AI is mainly in the productivity areas, to be honest, and that's where we see the largest benefits in that. And the benefits are real and they're meaningful, but it's not really a situation, and I'm unaware of such situation in the industry where AI can like sit down and make games for the people. I don't think this is really where it's heading. That's our take on that. That doesn't mean it's not going to be useful, but it's not going to be making Witcher 5 or 6 or anything like that.
All right. Since there seems to be no more questions on the line or in the text. I'd like to thank all of you for joining us today. And yes, somebody was saying something, no, I hope for a second. And if you have any follow-up questions, of course, please feel free to get in touch with our fantastic Investor Relations team. And I wish you all a pleasant evening, and goodbye and until the next investors call. Thank you.

❓ Fragen der Analysten
- PlayStation‑Zahlung: Höhe nicht offengelegt; Unternehmen bestätigte volle Verbuchung in Q3 und verwies auf vergleichbare Partnererlöse (z.B. Witcher 3 in Q3 2024).
- Subscription‑Effekt: Abo‑Start senkt kurzfristige Direktverkäufe, schafft laut Management jedoch Netto‑Mehrwert und Upsell‑Chancen für Phantom Liberty.
- Projekte & Personal: Cyberpunk 2 weiterhin Preproduction; Witcher 4 in Produktion (kein 2026‑Start); Scopely‑Mobile und andere Partnerschaften sind frühphasig; Cyberpunk‑TCG ist ein physisches Sammelkartenspiel und wird nicht kapitalisiert.
⚡ Bottom Line
- Fazit: Starkes Q3 mit hoher Marge und robustem Cash‑Puffer. Einmalige PlayStation‑Erlöse und Switch‑2‑Verkäufe beschleunigten Ergebnis, liefern aber begrenzte wiederkehrende Sichtbarkeit. Entscheidender Treiber bleibt Investition in Witcher‑ und Cyberpunk‑Franchise; Chancen auf weiteres organisches Wachstum, aber Timing‑ und Capex‑Risiken bleiben.
CD Projekt — Q2 2025 Earnings Call
1. Management Discussion
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by, and I would like to welcome you to CD Projekt's First Half 2025 Earnings Conference Call on the 28th of August. [Operator Instructions]
So without further ado, I would now like to pass the line to Mr. Michal Nowakowski, the Joint Chief Executive Officer. Please go ahead, sir.
Thank you, and good afternoon. My name is Michal Nowakowski, and I'll be your host during today's conference, where we will sum up the first half of 2025. I'll be co-presenting with Piotr Nielubowicz. And after the presentation, we will invite you to participate in a Q&A session where we will be joined by Karolina Gnas, our VP and Head of Investor Relations.
So in the first half of 2025, we have taken important steps to show how The Witcher and Cyberpunk are evolving into more diversified experiences with an even broader reach. June 3 marked a milestone for CD PROJEKT RED. At State of Unreal 2025, we presented a technical demo of The Witcher 4 developed in partnership with Epic Games. The demo highlighted how our teams are pushing the boundaries of open world game technology and enhancing Unreal Engine for the next generation of open world games. The demo run at 60 frames per second on a standard PlayStation 5 console, showcasing the capabilities of Unreal Engine 5 and the tools our respective teams are developing to create large immersive open worlds.
This technical showcase reflects our ambition for The Witcher 4. Our goal is not simply to create another game using Unreal Engine, but to explore new possibilities in immersion, interactivity and world building. The innovations we are developing together with Epic Games today will shape the way we create experiences for our players, while also at the same time solidifying CD PROJEKT RED's position at the forefront of technological progress in the gaming industry.
We're extremely happy with the amazing reception from the community and gaming media that followed that showcase. And that motivates us, obviously, to carry on with our hard work on delivering The Witcher 4. Just 2 days after The Witcher 4 tech demo presentation, Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition had its premiere as one of the launch titles for the debut in Nintendo Switch 2 console. This event was another important milestone for us, marking the very first time one of our games would be a launch title on a new platform. Our developers truly made the most of the console's features, offering new exclusive ways to play Cyberpunk 2077.
We showcased them in a series of hands-on presentations attracting praise from the player community and gaming media. And although we clearly see that sales of the -- on the new console are currently dominated by Nintendo's first-party titles, we were very pleased with Cyberpunk being among the best-selling third-party games. We believe that thanks to its high quality and switch to exclusive enhancements, Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition is well positioned to benefit from the console's growing user base.
As of June, the vast majority of sales, which is around 70% came from physical copies sold, and that reflects the strength of our offering. The entire game, along with its expansion, is fully contained on a 64-gigabyte cartridge, providing a plug-and-play experience, which players find particularly attractive. This dominance of physical sales continues into the current quarter with additional stock orders coming in. In the long run, we expect the breakdown of sales between these channels to reflect our past experiences with the share of digital sales progressively increasing as time goes by. It's worth noting that physical and digital sales channels have different economics. Digital sales naturally yield higher net revenue, while physical copies involve additional manufacturing and packaging costs as well as distributor fees.
Shortly after the release of Nintendo Switch 2, Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition appeared on yet another new platform. On July 17, the game became available on a wide range of Mac computers equipped with Apple silicon processors. Post-release reviews were very positive with players and media praising the quality and performance of the port. The beginning of Q3 saw Cyberpunk 2077 included in PlayStation Plus for Extra and Premium service members. And this gives us an opportunity to reach a broad group of PlayStation players. Subscribers gain access to the base game along with all previously released updates. If after playing the base game, they wish to expand their adventures in Night City, they have the option to do so by purchasing the Phantom Liberty expansion.
Moving on, while we continue to expand the reach of Cyberpunk through new platforms and subscription services, this is not the only path we're taking. We also continue to develop our core franchise through new transmedia projects and engage audiences beyond games. Last month, at the Anime Expo Convention in L.A., we were thrilled to announce that we are once again teaming up with Studio Trigger to create a new stand-alone anime series set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is coming exclusively to Netflix following the footsteps of the original critically acclaimed series. Each of these initiatives from The Witcher 4 tech demo through Cyberpunk 2077 arriving on new platforms, to the announcement of Edgerunners 2 illustrates the way we're taking our strategy forward. Our goal is to combine technological innovation with multi-platform presence and transmedia storytelling to strengthen the long-term value of our brands and grow our global audience.
And as we approach the end of my part of the presentation, let me briefly walk you through our current workforce allocation. Our recruitment efforts have significantly sped up over the last 3 months. And as a result, the total number of talented developers working across our projects has grown by 10%, reaching almost 800 people. This growth was primarily driven by our two largest development teams. The Witcher 4 team grew to over 440 developers, while the Cyberpunk 2 project, which transitioned into preproduction recently in Q2, as you may remember, added 20 new team members. We anticipate further gradual growth in our total developer headcount by the end of the year, particularly for the teams working on projects in the most advanced stages of production.
That will be all for me. And now it's time for financials, and I hand it over to Piotr.
Thank you, Michal. Good evening, everyone. Let's start with our consolidated profit and loss account on Slide 10. Our group sales revenue for the first half of 2025 reached PLN 443 million, 4% more than in the corresponding period last year. Most of the revenues came from sales of our own products. It's worth noting that both the Cyberpunk and The Witcher product families this year generated slightly higher sales than in the corresponding period last year.
Our sales of goods and materials reached PLN 103 million and recorded 28% growth. Both segments recorded visible increases versus last year. In the case of sales of goods and materials in our CD PROJEKT RED segment, the figure reached nearly PLN 19 million. This was driven by our sales of physical cartridges of Cyberpunk Ultimate Edition for Nintendo Switch 2. Our cost of products and services sold was lower in H1 '25 compared to H1 '24, mainly for two reasons: first, due to the use of a declining amortization model; and second, because we extended the amortization scheme based on an estimation of the useful lives of our assets that was updated at the end of last year. The cost of goods for resale and materials sold grew in line with the discussed increase of sales in this category.
Moving on to operating costs. In 2025 H1, they remained relatively stable versus last year. However, their structure changed. We had higher selling expenses due to our promotional activity related to the Cyberpunk 2077 launch on Nintendo Switch 2 as well as celebration of the 10th anniversary of The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt and The Witcher 4 tech demo presentation. At the same time, the administrative expenses decreased, which was mainly driven by the decrease in research work costs after the Cyberpunk 2 project changed its IFRS status in September 2024 from research to development, which qualifies for capitalization from that point onward.
All in all, our EBIT reached PLN 168 million, 20% more than a year ago. The low income tax for the first half of the previous year was not typical for our business as neither is the relatively high income tax we recorded in the first half of this year. As discussed during our last earnings call dedicated to the results of the first quarter, most of this amount, nearly PLN 22 million came from adjustments covering prior years, driven mainly by corrections of our bookings related to withholding taxes, events of a one-off nature. And finally, our net profit for the first half of this year reached PLN 155 million. The overall net profitability of the group was 35%. However, it's worth noting that if we eliminated the nonmonetary adjustments related to historical taxes booked in Q1 this year, the net profit would be higher than last year, and the net profitability ratio would amount to a comparable 39.9%.
Now let's take a look at the next slide, #11, our consolidated balance sheet. On the asset side, first, the core of our business, expenditures on development projects. The balance sheet increased by PLN 202 million. The new developments, mainly The Witcher 4, Cyberpunk 2 and Sirius, but also some projects that are still unannounced were responsible for a PLN 230 million increase, parallel to the PLN 28 million decrease coming from amortization of the already launched games.
We also continue investing in our local physical assets as visible in the nearly PLN 40 million increase of the property, plant and equipment line item. This was mainly driven by the final phase of the construction and fit-out of a new building at our Warsaw campus, where The Witcher 4 team has already moved in and continues development of the game. Our trade receivables decreased as of the end of June, which is natural when we compare it with the year-end value, which is usually quite high.
Other current assets increased by nearly PLN 22 million, mainly due to a higher balance of our prepayments, including prepayments for development projects. The total value of cash deposits and bonds included in the three asset items marked with an asterisk is summed up under the table and amounts to PLN 1.427 billion as of the end of June. Our financial position decreased by PLN 45 million this time. Within this change, GOG was responsible for a decrease of PLN 11 million, driven by prepayments to its game suppliers, mostly related to Q4 sales. At the same time, CD PROJEKT RED reported PLN 34 million decrease in its financial reserves, which corresponds to 2.4%. As usual, I will have a separate slide to provide some more insight on our main cash flow drivers this year.
Moving forward to equity and liabilities, Slide 12. The decision of our general meeting adopted before the end of June to pay out a PLN 99.9 million dividend at the beginning of July was the main driver of the growth of our liabilities. This dividend payout obligation boosted our other liabilities line as of the end of June. The decrease in provisions results mainly from payments of bonuses dependent on 2024 results, which depends -- for which appropriate provisions had been created back then.
Now please move on to the next slide, #13, CD PROJEKT RED's expenditures on research works, development and cost of product maintenance presented here on a quarterly basis for this and last year. In line with our strategy, we continue to expand our development activity, both internally and through collaboration with external partners. The visible increase in development expenditures is, therefore, a natural outcome of accelerating work on our projects. One of the key contributors to this growth was the strengthening of the Boston team, our main recruitment focus, which is responsible for developing Cyberpunk 2. This project, as Michal has already mentioned, entered the preproduction phase in Q2.
And finally, our aggregated cash flow drivers on Slide 14. The PLN 155 million book net profit was supported by PLN 55 million in amortization, depreciation and noncash costs of our share-based incentive programs. The overall change in receivables, liabilities, provisions and deferrals boosted our cash flows by PLN 47 million. At the same time, PLN 64 million was expensed on the acquisition of tangible and intangible assets. Putting investments into currently developed products aside, our ongoing business generated PLN 197 million during the first half of 2025. During the same time, most of our team was engaged in working on new projects, hence, the investment of PLN 242 million into new development projects. All in all, our financial reserves kept in cash, bank deposits and bonds decreased by the already mentioned PLN 45 million over the reporting period, reaching PLN 1.43 billion as of the end of June.
That's all from me for now. We can move on to the Q&A session. Thank you.
[Operator Instructions] As we are seeing no voice questions, I will pass the line to the CD Projekt team to read out the text questions.
Okay. So the first question comes from Grzegorz Balcerski from Trigon. Expenditure on development projects jumped to over PLN 140 million in Q2 versus about PLN 100 million in Q1. Could you please explain the growth? Should we expect this amount to be repeated in the subsequent quarters? Or was there a one-off element in this matter?
Actually, PLN 140 million, it's not just the development expenses, it's altogether, so research, development and service. And therefore, for pure development expenses, the amount would be slightly lower. And to answer the core of the question, in general, as we progress with the development of our projects, the expenditures will naturally increase. And we also increase -- and we also expect the increase in the coming quarter. The expenses reflect both the growth of our internal teams, but also accelerating cooperation with external partners.
Okay. And I'll take the second question also from Trigon from Grzegorz Balcerski. And the question is, are you able to determine whether this year's marketing beat so far related to the presentation of The Witcher tech demo and the promotion of Cyberpunk on Switch like others were the most important market events this year? And there is a second subquestion. Are you planning any more communications related to yet undisclosed projects this year?
So whether these beats were important, yes. I mean, we felt that The Witcher tech demo was an important milestone also marketing-wise. Of course, it was a tech demo, first and foremost, predominantly from our perspective. But the way it resonated with the players, with the audience was a proof that it was impactful in terms of being a marketing beat as well. And as for Cyberpunk launch on Switch 2, it was also an important thing for us, especially taking into account that this was the first time we were launching day-to-day with the console debut. So yes, this was also an important beat. In terms of us planning any more communications on undisclosed projects, of course, that's the part we cannot comment because we can't share details ahead of something that would be a surprise. So it's neither yes or no, basically.
And I think there's a second question, which I can take, which comes from Michal Wojciechowski from IPOPEMA. And the question is, are you going to make any decisions regarding Hadar future by the end of this year or 2026?
I think -- so Hadar is basically still an IP concept, so not a game development yet. We're working on the game story, the game's background, so to say. There is some prototyping going on in terms of gameplay because it's hard not to do that when the end goal is to make a video game, of course. But I'm not sure what you mean by the decisions. I mean, decision as to progress into development or what is -- whether we're going to make one or not. I mean we want to make this IP happen. So that decision is sort of made in terms of where we're going to go with the development. We're going to announce that in due time, I think.
There's actually another question. This one is from Konrad Krasuski from Bloomberg. Can you reveal the number of copies of Cyberpunk 2 sold to Switch platform? Unfortunately, no. This is not information we're sharing.
All right. Since it seems there are no more questions in text form or on the call, in voice, I think we would like to thank you for joining us today. And of course, as always, if you have any follow-up questions, feel free to get in touch with our marvelous Investor Relations team. And we wish you a very pleasant evening, and goodbye and until the next call. Thank you.
Thank you. This concludes the call for today. We are now closing all the lines.

During the first 2 years of the program in the years 2023, 2024, we were able to implement all in all, 48% of the program of that goal. Good implementation, good results and positive flows allowed us to recommend to today's general meeting allocating a part of the profit to pay out dividend.

Do you have any questions or comments concerning this resolution?
I have a question to Piotr. On the 15th of January, you adopted a new dividend strategy, where 25% of the profit was supposed to be allocated. This was a new document. We are in June and the new is 21.2% of the profit. Could you please comment the difference?
Yes, absolutely. The policy about the dividends that we published in January will be valid starting from the financial year 2025. The currently voted dividend concerns the period from before the adoption of this policy. So it concerns the year 2024, hence, the difference.

🎯 Kernbotschaft
- Datum: Ordentliche Hauptversammlung am 23. Juni 2025; alle Beschlüsse gemäß Agenda bestätigt.
- Finanzen 2024: Konzernumsatz fast PLN 1 Mrd.; Nettoergebnis PLN 170 Mio.; operative Cashflows PLN 521 Mio.; Management schlägt Dividende vor.
- Produkte: The Witcher 4 in Full‑Scale‑Production; Trailer auf The Game Awards war viraler Erfolg; Cyberpunk erreicht 30 Mio. Kopien, Erweiterung 10 Mio.
⚡ Strategische Highlights
- Dividendenverwendung: Für 2024 vorgeschlagene Ausschüttung PLN 99,910,510 (~PLN 1 pro Aktie); Rest PLN 370,762,000 in Rücklage.
- Dividendpolicy: Neue Ausschüttungspolitik (veröffentlicht 15. Jan.) gilt ab Geschäftsjahr 2025, daher Abweichung bei 2024‑Quote.
- Anreize & Kapital: Incentive‑Programme A/B erweitert (B: +600.000 Entitlements bis max. 5.000.000); Ermächtigung zum Rückkauf bis ca. 89.601 Aktien zur Bedienung von Incentive A.
🆕 Neue Informationen
- Beschlüsse: Dividendenausschüttung für 2024 (PLN 1/Aktie) beschlossen; Rückkaufsermächtigung zur Bedienung des Incentive‑Programms angenommen.
- Satzungsänderungen: Anpassungen zur Klassifikation der Geschäftstätigkeit und Regelung zur Wahl der Prüfgesellschaft für Nachhaltigkeitsberichte.
- Kein Timing: Keine neue terminliche Guidance für The Witcher 4 oder operative Prognose für 2025 kommuniziert.
❓ Fragen der Analysten / Aktionäre
- Dividendenfrage: Ein Aktionär fragte, warum die Auszahlung 21,2% des Gewinns entspricht statt der 25% aus der Jan.‑Policy; CFO erklärte, die neue Policy gilt erst ab FY2025, die 2024‑Ausschüttung bezieht sich auf das Vorjahr.
- Akzeptanz: Bericht zur Vergütung des Vorstands erhielt spürbaren Gegenstimmenanteil (~12,44 Mio. Stimmen dagegen), was auf Unzufriedenheit bei Teilen der Aktionärsbase hindeutet.
📌 Bottom Line
- Kurzfassung: Hauptversammlung bestätigte Bilanz, Dividendenauskehr und Maßnahmen zur Mitarbeiter‑Vergütung; Management fokussiert Ressourcen auf Entwicklung von The Witcher 4 und stärkt Eigenkapitalreserve. Aktionäre bekommen kurzfristig Cash (Dividende), sollten aber Weiterentwicklungen zu Witcher 4, Use‑of‑Cash und Umsetzung der neuen Dividendpolicy 2025 überwachen.
