The Transaction is transformative for MGI as it is expected to materially increase the size and profitability. Given the stable revenues and high EBITDA margin that the successful game Wizard101 generates, it will further strengthen the quality of earnings in the digital games segment.
On a proforma basis MGI's EBITDA would have been increased by app. 60 percent as a result of the acquisition for the first nine month of 2020. MGI Group generated EUR 19 million and KingsIsle EUR 12 million of adjusted EBITDA during the first nine months 2020. The adjustments made for KingsIsle include a reduction of actual revenue and EBITDA to eliminate favorable revenue developments related to Covid-19 in the earlier part of 2020.
