NACON Gaming’s sales during the period amounted to €38.5 million.

Sales in the Gaming business were stable year-on-year at €27.4 million.

Catalogue sales (new games) rose by 4.5% to €15.6 million. Despite the weak performance of The Lord of the Rings Gollum^TM, sales of Tour de France and TT Isle of Man Ride on Edge 3 were 20% and 10% higher respectively than those of their previous versions, while the performance of Ravenswatch available in early access since April 2023, was exceptional.

Back catalogue sales (games released in previous years) fell by 6.8% to €11.8 million, affected by their high base for comparison after months of strong growth.

ACCESSORIES: The upturn in the sales trend, which began at the end of the last financial year, will be confirmed in September because pre-orders of new controllers and headsets are excellent.

Bigben – Audiovideo/Telco generated sales of €28.1 million in the first quarter.

MOBILE ACCESSORIES: In a contracting smartphone market, sales of these products are holding steady due to market share gains by the premium Energie range and the strong performance of the Force brand. Sales during the period amounted to €21.7 million versus €21.6 million in the first quarter of 2022/23.
