Jorgen Larsson
Good morning, everybody, to the presentation of Stillfront’s Full Yr Report and This autumn Report. Will probably be myself and Andreas Uddman, CFO presenting right this moment. And we can have open up for questions on the finish.
So if we go to this subsequent slide, we are able to see an summary is that now we have been outperforming a weak market within the quarter and likewise for the total 12 months, now we have in This autumn, 24% whole progress. We are going to go into — look a bit additional into how that’s divided earlier than — between natural progress and FX and bought progress later.
What’s essential now, we are able to see that our — lots of our key franchises has been very strongly performing, which is among the explanations why we are able to outperform a weak market to such an extent and likewise the place now we have deployed most of our dwell ops efforts is to our — into our key franchises.
We even have been having fun with steady environment friendly consumer acquisition, not compromising with our 180 days strong ranges, in order that we’re pleased with. We’ve additional additionally a powerful money move era and an excellent stability sheet. You possibly can see on the right-side how our revenues have been distributed in This autumn, 45% North America; 26% Europe and 23% Asia as being our largest markets.
So once more, seeking to our key franchises. So the three that I wish to spotlight right here is BitLife that continues with an excellent natural progress with main content material updates that has been driving revenues and engagement from our gamers within the fourth quarter and likewise proceed its vital natural progress.
Additional additionally, Albion On-line have had a powerful second half of the 12 months, additionally gearing up for its Asian growth in late Q1 this 12 months. Additional, we additionally have Jawaker, which is now a part of our natural, so-called natural studio, which grew — continued to develop within the fourth quarter regardless of that they had a really clear damaging impression from the FIFA World Cup, which have been as we in all probability know within the area as nicely, within the MENA area. In order that was a really clear impression.
We’re increasing our energetic portfolio, nevertheless, we felt within the quarter that it was weaker than anticipated efficiency from a number of of the mushy launches. We’ve elevated our ROI necessities, which has led to a one-off amortization of SEK176 million associated to enterprise — a part of our companies the place we do not see that they meet our necessities. And now we have additionally, as I mentioned, elevated our ROI necessities.
And now we have, within the quarter, added one recreation to our energetic portfolio. So we now have 78 totally different video games, which is essential from a diversification perspective, and that’s, to a big extent, driving and explaining why we are able to proceed with excessive return on advert spend regardless of the robust market.
Going into a number of the numbers, I can’t learn all of them, however we had for the total 12 months SEK7.1 billion in revenues with an EBIT of near SEK1.8 billion. What’s essential right here is that, as I mentioned, now we have a complete progress of 24% year-over-year in This autumn. And you may see on the higher proper nook the place — how these are composed. So natural progress is barely down 0.7%, which we expect we’re by no means joyful after we’re not rising organically. However contemplating that the market in This autumn have been down with some 11%.
We predict in relation to that and with out growing our UA that was 25% solely in This autumn and the final 12 months, we’re extremely secure, as you’ll be able to see, 26% final 12 months, 4, 5 quarters now. So with out growing UA to attempt to compensate, we’re nonetheless considerably higher organically than the weak market. Then we had acquired progress of 11%, which is 6waves. We’ve an FX impact of 14% and now we have different results, which is principally then the impact from Ulka, our paused enterprise in Bangladesh of 1.1%.
So we are able to additionally see that now we have decrease margins, taking a look at EBIT margin year-over-year, attributable to larger amortizations, which in flip, is a consequence of that, we elevated our product investments 18 months in the past. But it surely’s additionally essential to say that our EBITDA margins are very secure for fairly a while at 38%. So now we have been between 37% and 39% for fairly a while on EBITDA. Additionally, trying on the full 12 months, we have been 1.4% damaging natural progress, whereas the market have been roughly minus 8% organically.
Subsequent slide, please. Additionally plenty of numbers right here, however as mentioned, we at the moment are as much as seven to eight video games in our energetic portfolio. Once more, it is a essential metric from the diversification perspective as a result of the variety of video games mixed with the variety of territories that we’re actively market these video games in and the variety of channels that we use is what — and the way we are able to optimize our advertising over quite a few video games, variety of markets, variety of channels, is the reason why we are able to constantly be spending excessive and really worthwhile on advertising.
We had 76% in cell bookings in the course of the quarter. We elevated our advert bookings within the quarter in comparison with — sequentially in comparison with Q3 from 14% to 16%. So we expect we are able to do higher than 16%, nevertheless it’s additionally, to a big extent, pushed from the truth that now we have a special product combine in comparison with one 12 months in the past taking a look at This autumn. However I feel that we are able to enhance that quantity going ahead. We communicated again in ’19 that our ambition is that we needs to be at high-teens, so we needs to be a few 10 (ph) factors larger than that.
Additionally, you’ll be able to see that our common income per every day energetic consumer is considerably up year-over-year. It is, in fact, pushed by constructive FX, but additionally that now we have had very robust traction with our franchises inside the Technique video games space and therefore, with a bigger weight and the upper common income per DAU that comes into play. Our largest space, as you’ll be able to see, continues to be Informal & Mash-up 43% of the whole revenues after which Technique is as much as 35% and the remainder 23% is Simulation, RPG.
So trying into the whole portfolio, you’ll be able to see that now we have a powerful progress in bookings for Technique 77%, which is each acquired, but additionally that now we have had a really robust natural growth. And that’s, in fact, one thing that we’re happy with. And one of many explanations why now we have been so resilient when the market has been slower, whereas Technique may be very secure in comparison with particularly Mash-up and Informal video games, however we want each of them within the portfolio to be able to optimize the efficiency completely.
Simulation, RPG, barely down 3%, however we additionally lowered the UA considerably. So I feel we’re fairly happy with the soundness there. We improved the monetization year-over-year throughout the portfolio pushed by constructive FX and likewise the product combine. However we’re additionally on a extra superb granular stage.
We’ve optimized and labored with optimizing the hybrid mannequin, the place now we have — particularly in Informal the place we are able to work each with advert monetization in addition to in-app purchases. So we are able to see that we are able to optimize on product ranges or product space ranges, which now we have finished within the fourth quarter and can proceed to do throughout subsequent 12 months.
Lastly, you’ll be able to see a drop in each MAU, DAU and MPU in Informal, and that’s pushed by nearly solely by the submit operations in Bangladesh, which had a big viewers. So in any other case, it’s fairly secure.
Subsequent slide, please. And that’s over to Andreas.
Andreas Uddman
Thanks, Jorgen. , now we have, within the quarter, a steady robust money move era. That is one thing that now we have seen grown in the course of the 12 months. We generated SEK474 million, a 17% enhance from money move from operation previous to internet working capital, in that as nicely, now we have larger tax funds within the fourth quarter of SEK113 million. So robust money move era, which grew 17%.
When a damaging internet working — a constructive internet working capital impact of SEK10 million, the underlying money move from operations was SEK484 million for the quarter. We proceed to spend — put money into our portfolio. So we spend in whole, SEK480 million when it comes to investments, out of that, SEK235 million is expounded to product investments, that is a 13.2% of internet revenues for the quarter.
So it is a bit of a decline versus the total 12 months the place we spend simply above 14%. So we’re seeing a little bit of a decrease funding stage, even when it continues to deploy fairly a major quantity of our money move into new merchandise. We additionally settled would held upfront consideration for Jawaker of SEK206 million, which is also in that line for the quarter.
When it comes to financing actions, now we have a damaging of SEK301 million, primarily pushed by — that we repaid a few of our debt, so we optimize how a lot money we really maintain and diminished our debt place within the quarter and together with as nicely there are some IFRS 16, so leases have been that of SEK15 million. The money move from the interval was damaging, however the majority of that’s, in fact, pushed by the truth that we amortize on our debt.
However trying on the 12 months, it is at all times extra within the final 12 months interval evaluating these. We’ve money move from operations nearly at SEK2.1 billion earlier than internet working capital has a 29% enhance. When it comes to the money move from operations, deducting in IFRS 16 and internet working capital that grew 26% to only under SEK2 billion when it comes to free money move.
We’ve, as we talked about beforehand, spent a bigger portion of our internet revenues within the final 12 months in our product growth. So we spent nearly SEK1 billion in new merchandise, which is 14.1% of the web revenues in whole. However we noticed a little bit of a cooling off within the fourth quarter. So we generated nearly SEK1 billion of free money move for 2022 after growing our funding base. And our money conversion price was 0.38 in This autumn LTM.
Subsequent slide, please. We proceed to have a conservative leverage, got here down barely versus the final quarter attributable to our money move era of 1.46. We nonetheless have SEK3.8 billion of gross debt, however we even have some money of SEK1 billion on our stability sheet. I feel the primary issues that truly occurred in This autumn is that we considerably — we doubled our time to maturity in our debt portfolio.
You possibly can see on the proper hand facet, even when we introduced the mortgage to the Swedish Export Credit score Company in Q3 that was now — that was used to repay the mortgage — the bond mortgage that now we have excellent. So we moved that with a 4 12 months maturity. And as nicely, we elevated the size or prolonged the revolving credit score facility with one other two years, in order that now has a maturity of three years.
So we greater than doubled our time to maturity, which give us an excellent stability on our maturity profile. And we nonetheless have about SEK2.2 billion of undrawn credit score services from our credit score — from our stability sheet tax. So we finish the 12 months with an excellent stability sheet construction and that serve us nicely, even when it has been a harder 12 months additionally on the debt market, now we have carried out nicely and have been in a position to tactically work with our financing throughout 2022.
And subsequent slide, please. So we additionally introduced right this moment that we’re launching a repurchase of shares. That is pushed by — partially that now we have a powerful stability sheet place. We’ve a money generative enterprise. So the Board has introduced that they may use the mandate underneath the AGM and buy as much as SEK270 million of shares. The vast majority of this can go — this can go to cowl the vast majority of the fairness part for the earnouts that we’re attributable to pay in Q2 this 12 months. And this may occur from the February 16, so from tomorrow, up till the AGM on the Could 11.
And with that mentioned, I am handing again to you, Jorgen.
Jorgen Larsson
Thanks, Andreas. So we’re getting into a brand new part with constructing Stillfront, we name the Section 4, the place we extra concentrate on leveraging the dimensions that now we have constructed thus far and to be probably the most effectively operated video games firm that exists. So therefore, there are a selection of different priorities, we refine our methods and we should always proceed to outgrow our market with excessive profitability and robust money move.
That is the monetary final result from our new part that we’ll hopefully present you for a few years to come back. So our monetary targets, there additionally, we expect, higher replicate each our priorities, but additionally the worth era potential within the enterprise going ahead. So now we have — the primary progress goal is that we should always develop constantly organically higher than our addressed market, and we outline our addressed market as being the worldwide cell video games enterprise, excluding China.
And after we measure this yearly, yearly, we are going to have a look at the three essential institutes that talk how they view the market. So we are able to examine with one thing impartial, so to talk. We won’t, I feel, this 12 months, however over time, we expect M&A is totally one thing that’s essential to us for apparent causes, when the market is, as it’s now.
We’re being, we expect, pretty low valued and the market — the non-public market is larger or on par and the financing is costlier. It’s not very doubtless that we do conduct some M&A this 12 months, however I feel that it is essential to say that we see nonetheless some fascinating targets that might match — will match if we come to a transaction into our construction in order that we are able to get much more leverage out of our capabilities.
The second goal is that we modify our profitability goal to money EBITDA. So EBITDA diminished with our CapEx. And the explanation why we try this once more is that we expect it is reflecting the worth era in a greater method and likewise what we prioritize within the fourth part of constructing this firm. We are going to elaborate extra on this in our Capital Markets Day in a while.
And eventually, we modified barely the leverage ratio goal from now additionally together with the short-term earnout money funds that we see. So the subsequent 12 months money is included after which we needs to be under 2.0. So principally, it is unchanged when you take away the earnouts, however now we embrace the earnouts within the definition after which we needs to be under two. And once more, this can be adopted up on yearly and they’re valued till additional discover.
And that was principally our final slide and we open up for questions.
Query-and-Reply Session
Operator
[Operator Instructions] The following query comes from Simon Jonsson from ABG Sundal Collier. Please go forward.
Simon Jonsson
Hello, Jorgen and Andreas, and congrats on a stable report. Couple of questions from me. First, on the brand new profitability goal, you gave a spread of 26% to 29%. Is it truthful to imagine that an important issue within the vary is CapEx? And how briskly are you able to get it right down to 10%, which is acknowledged as your goal? Sure, that is my first query.
Jorgen Larsson
Yeah. So, after we went public already in ’15, we mentioned that we expect that our enterprise and the way in which that we conduct our enterprise at round 10% is what you possibly can anticipate in CapEx product investments in relation to internet revenues. Then we took — and now we have been there. Then we took a deliberate choice 1.5 to 2 years in the past that we wish to enhance our funding as a result of we noticed fascinating alternatives and that has served us nicely, I ought to say. That is among the the explanation why we are able to outgrow the market this 12 months.
However we are going to, once more, based on our plan that we have had step-wise return to at round 10%. It won’t change within the week or a month or perhaps a quarter. However — and it is arduous to say exactly since clearly, we are going to take tactical choices into consideration. If now we have good traction and good ROI, we won’t be too quick on reducing it, however I feel it is a truthful assumption to say that we, in the course of the 12 months, can be closed — on the finish of the 12 months, can be nearer to 10% than the roughly 14% that we had in 2022.
Andreas Uddman
And perhaps so as to add to that as nicely, it is not simply CapEx to return to the query, there are different positions as nicely. We are going to deep dive a bit extra in that within the capital markets. However one factor that Jorgen was speaking about within the presentation right this moment is that we would like our advert revenues to be high-teens when it comes to our revenues and that, in fact, will drive down our direct prices. So this isn’t simply CapEx, that is part of it, however there’s a lot else we are able to do. However when you be part of us for the Capital Markets Day, you’ll get far more insights into that.
Simon Jonsson
All proper. I assume you additionally will point out which areas you might be chopping down on. However might you simply inform us something about that proper now, what sort of areas that you simply lower it down on investments and the way might that have an effect on progress, you suppose?
Jorgen Larsson
Yeah. So we aren’t essentially in absolute numbers chopping down on funding, however we’re taking it in relative phrases to step-wise reducing it. However I feel that — how that performs out precisely is difficult to say. However essential is that, we are going to focus to a bigger extent our investments to our key franchises. We’ve 12 franchises whereof 5 had revenues over SEK500 million final 12 months, and the others had over SEK200 million.
We’ve seen clearly after we measure, which we do diligently how our return on product investments are that they’re returning higher after we put money into our key franchises. So that’s the essential factor that you will notice change quite than a brute pressure lower on the investments.
Andreas Uddman
And likewise so as to add, even when you would say that we’ll go right down to 10%, which won’t occur in a single day. If we might have finished that in 2022, we are going to nonetheless have invested extra when it comes to absolute money than in 2021. So it is not an absolute deployment, it would not have gone down.
Simon Jonsson
All proper. Is it additionally truthful to imagine then that the acceleration you probably did in ’21 and ’22 when it comes to CapEx wasn’t extra broader? Now if you say now that you simply need to focus extra on the important thing franchises, is it truthful to imagine that the investments within the final years have been broader?
Jorgen Larsson
That’s right. And that’s — I feel that’s one factor — one of many issues that we are able to do higher, the advert revenues is one other. So we had clearly, as Andreas alluded to, we are going to [Technical Difficulty] take into consideration or plan to do. One in every of them is that this motion to not make investments as broad as now we have finished, however extra targeted, however proceed to take a position not less than in ranges certainly.
However that’s — has returned and yield higher and if we are able to enhance the capital allocation and the ROI capital allocation for product funding, simply as now we have for fairly a while and a number of other years have been superb at capital allocation for UA. If we are able to enhance the opposite axis of that, so to talk, I feel we’re operational sensible bettering our efficiency much more. In order that’s why that is essential to get that context.
Simon Jonsson
Bought it. And likewise, might you share any particulars on what franchises you’ve seen larger returns on latest years that you simply need to focus extra on line?
Jorgen Larsson
I discussed a few of them right here. So now we have seen investments within the supremacy, which I did not point out now, however as now we have talked about within the final couple of quarters, our grand Technique price franchise, which is — has been tremendously profitable for us. But in addition after we have a look at the BitLife franchise, Albion is rising, has been rising properly and Jawaker as nicely. So now we have a number of of them that has a progress potential additional and therefore, we expect it is a good choice. However we are going to once more describe that our CPO on the presentation on the Capital Markets Day will go additional into that — to that subject.
Simon Jonsson
All proper. So it is principally form of a double down on what has been working. Final one for me right here is in regards to the progress goal. You goal above market natural progress. So the query is, what sort of market progress do you anticipate in coming years?
Jorgen Larsson
So the difficult factor is, initially of this 12 months simply as we underestimated how damaging progress it have been within the second half of final 12 months and the total 12 months as nicely. So that’s — the visibility is decrease at first of this 12 months. However we, and I feel most of our friends and analysts generally available in the market anticipate that we’ll be again on natural progress.
The expansion trajectory anticipated, we expect it is 3% to five%, some are even larger. It was 9% really CAGR, together with 2022, when you examine it to 2018. I do not suppose it is going to be on that stage. However we can be 3% to five% natural progress, the market, precisely when it is up on that quantity is extremely arduous to say, to be trustworthy. In order that visibility is decrease.
However the structural progress on this market is underpinned by a number of elements which are very convincing corresponding to new demographics, beginning to devour recreation. Youthful customers have since years seen cell gaming as their essential leisure space, and they’re going to, in fact, not cease taking part in video games simply because they turn out to be 20, 30, 40 and so forth. And likewise, there are video games [indiscernible] which are poorly developed. So there are lots of issues that helps this structural progress for a few years to come back, precisely after we’re up there, it is a bit tougher to say.
Simon Jonsson
All proper. Thanks. I’ll get again into the queue.
Operator
The following query comes from Nick Dempsey from Barclays. Please go forward.
Nick Dempsey
Sure. Good morning, guys. I’ve bought three questions. So digging down a bit extra into natural progress for 2023, I’ve bought just a few questions. So firstly, you word that you simply anticipate the market and Stillfront to return to natural progress throughout second half ’23, you are not particularly saying that you simply anticipate progress for all of second half ’23. So might you hit a return to constructive progress in December and that might nonetheless be according to what you are saying or are you actually hoping for constructive natural income progress for the entire second half ’23?
And then you definitely’re saying that you simply anticipate to outperform the market over time, and you probably did all through 2022, you have not precisely mentioned that you simply anticipate that in ’23 or is that implied? And the very last thing on natural is information.ai’s expectation of minus 3% for the cell market in ’23 is the one one you really talked about within the launch, is that one thing that we should always use as a benchmark or is that simply the one quantity that is out there we should not take it too significantly? That is simply on natural progress.
After which the opposite query was particularly on Jawaker. You realize the engagement did in the course of the World Cup. Are you able to give us a bit extra coloration on why did it disrupt individuals coming collectively? Had been they watching the video games as an alternative? What precisely precipitated that disruption? And might you give us a little bit of a way of that price of progress that Jawaker achieved within the final couple of weeks of December? Thanks.
Jorgen Larsson
Yeah. Thanks. So first, natural progress. The minus 3% is the one information level that’s out there at this time limit. I feel many are battling the visibility that may be a bit low as now we have alluded to. So that’s the reason why that’s the just one talked about. I feel that once more, the visibility is low, it is arduous to say. After all, we’re aiming for not reaching that on the New Yr’s Eve solely constructive natural progress. However we — however clearly, we aren’t immune in direction of how the market develops.
So I feel that we’ll attain that in the course of the second half, nevertheless it’s very, very arduous to say, to be trustworthy. Sure, we predict that we should always be capable to outgrow the marketplace for 2023 unregarding if it is minus 3 or another has mentioned that it is going to be plus 1 proportion to 2 proportion factors, unregarding the place that’s. We are going to work very arduous to outperform it, nevertheless it’s arduous to say when the — when it is up on the constructive territory once more.
On Jawaker, it was ridiculously — the correlation was ridiculously clear. So the very day when Saudi Arabia did beat Argentina from that first recreation and onwards, since additionally Morocco within the area have been extraordinarily profitable, which was incredible to see in lots of facets. It was precisely what you mentioned. Those that play Jawaker’s recreation, they’re informal video games, they’re socializing after they’re taking part in.
And as an alternative, they’re socializing trying on the World Cup, which was held within the area. And since that was within the peak season when for the primary and, I hope, solely time going ahead, it is higher when it is in the summertime interval for us. It was extraordinarily clear the day that the World Cup after the ultimate, it picked up once more. So then to select a precise quantity, nevertheless it’s — I can say that it is not removed from that’s the solely distinction from being constructive in natural progress, simply to offer you some taste on it. In order that progress it was.
Nick Dempsey
Okay. Thanks.
Operator
The following query comes from Rasmus Engberg from SHB. Please go forward.
Rasmus Engberg
Hello. Good morning. Thanks for answering my questions. I had principally two questions. Firstly, with reference to your targets, is it like a medium-term goal or is it one thing that you simply hope to achieve already in ’23 or ’24, how ought to we take into consideration after we consider the targets?
Jorgen Larsson
Yeah. So, since we’re at for the total 12 months EBITDA — our money to EBITDA for 2022, it was 22.7%. So now we have some mileage to do till we’re within the interval. However in This autumn already, it was over 24%. So I feel that it’ll not be — it won’t be apparent that we’ll attain it for the total 12 months ’23, it is going to be up for us. However I feel that now we have an excellent likelihood to be in that vary on the latter a part of the — of this 12 months. It is positively legitimate from now and onwards, however it is going to be a bit tougher to achieve that one throughout this 12 months. However for 2024, positively so.
Rasmus Engberg
Thanks a lot. After which simply on the — on this very low visibility of the market. Are you able to say in case you are monitoring roughly as you probably did within the fourth quarter, at first of this 12 months or is it in any method considerably worse or so?
Jorgen Larsson
We do not remark the precise quarter that we’re in, as I feel you realize. However what’s — I have been on this trade for fairly a while. What was an fascinating, and once more, we are going to focus on it additionally a bit extra in depth throughout our Capital Markets Day. However one factor that was distinctive in This autumn and — or within the fall was that it was very uneven the efficiency, particularly if you have been scaling up new merchandise as a result of then you must have traction for a sure time in mushy launch operating a product with a deficit till you get a sure stage of latest current customers, which you’ll have roughly the present revenues from. In order that has been very uneven.
So you’ll be able to have two weeks of momentum. After which impulsively, you lose that momentum even supposing you are utilizing related or the identical channel in the identical territory for a similar product. So it has been very up and down and that is why we’re joyful that now we have developed {our capability} on quickly reallocate new method. In any other case, we — it hasn’t — it would not have been doable to outperform the market as we did. However the visibility is low. It is many elements coming in. So we do not have — it requires half an hour to elucidate what we expect we see, we are going to try this within the Capital Markets Day. But it surely’s arduous to say, however I do not give any forecasts or steering for Q1.
Rasmus Engberg
All proper. Thanks a lot.
Operator
Please state your identify and firm. Please go forward.
Marlon Varnik
Marlon Varnik right here. Are you able to hear me nicely?
Jorgen Larsson
Sure.
Marlon Varnik
Good. Thanks. So firstly a query on surprising earnouts. You make damaging changes right here, nearly 20% for this 12 months, and nearly 30% for subsequent 12 months. Are you able to give some extra feedback right here on ’23 and ’24 on these revisions and what acquisitions it’s associated to and likewise what has triggered this? Thanks.
Andreas Uddman
Yeah I imply, you’re right. I imply, the stability sheet place is nearly SEK600 million, a few of that’s pushed by FX as nicely, so roughly SEK180 million as we write within the report. And a few of them are pushed by the revaluations of a few of our earnouts. We do the revaluations twice a 12 months, normally Q2 and This autumn. And we do not go into specifics of which studios is expounded to within the report. However there are ups and downs, however that is kind of the place we stand in the mean time.
Jorgen Larsson
Perhaps we are able to add that this reveals clearly that our acquisition mannequin with — and the earnout mannequin works the way in which it needs to be. When the efficiency hasn’t been what we hope for in every of the acquired studios underneath earnout, the earnout will go down. So that’s how the mannequin is meant to work. So — and it is good to see — we had many questions after Q3, however we do not do, as Andrea mentioned, revaluations every quarter it is 2 instances per 12 months. So that’s principally what you see. It displays the efficiency to a big extent.
Marlon Varnik
Yeah. Okay. Thanks. And one other query right here, simply to make clear. So if you’re referring to above market progress, is it solidly the cell gaming market you are referring to or do you additionally embrace a part of the browser market there?
Jorgen Larsson
So we take the worldwide cell market, excluding China, and we take the typical of knowledge.ai, sensor tower and — so we take the typical and examine to that. And now as commented from the earlier query — in your earlier query, trying ahead, it is solely information.ai that has come out with a quantity — as a result of the visibility is low, however that’s what we should always beat. So we aren’t contemplating the truth that now we have between 21%, 25% browser enterprise, which is a declining enterprise, we should always beat that quantity, anyway, we hope, I feel.
Marlon Varnik
Okay. Thanks.
Operator
The following query comes from Edward James from Berenberg Financial institution. Please go forward.
Edward James
Hello. Thanks for taking my query. I simply have one fast query on the consumer acquisition atmosphere. And excluding the impacts that you simply noticed across the World Cup, might you simply touch upon whether or not the consumer acquisition atmosphere is bettering secure or turning into harder during the last three months and the way you anticipate that to alter within the 12 months to come back?
I primarily asking the query as a result of I’ve seen a few different cell gaming firms talked about that the consumer acquisition atmosphere is getting barely higher with Apple making some substantial enhancements to its advert community and they’re hopeful that this aids the consumer acquisition atmosphere going ahead. I might similar to to get your opinion on that. Thanks.
Jorgen Larsson
Yeah. In order that’s a really related query. And once more, taking a look at our numbers, now we have been in a position to deploy extra in UA this 12 months than beforehand, and now we have been, in relative phrases, very secure at 26% in relation to internet revenues with out compromising on the very strict strong goal of 180 days internet that now we have. So now we have seen the variations. And once more, this can be mentioned within the Capital Markets Day how these variations are, nevertheless it’s a number of elements taking part in in.
So it is really fairly complicated to investigate the sample for consumer acquisition and the way IDFA performs in on iOS, however — after which volumes are moved to Android and the costs goes up there and you must stability there, totally different for various channels, how nicely their algorithms are working, however we come from a place the place now we have been coping nicely with all of the modifications. And the reason being that now we have developed this dynamic capital allocation functionality over 5 to seven years or so. So we’re actually benefiting from that.
So I feel that we’ll proceed to profit from that and we preserve our strict goal of 180 days. And I’ve no motive to imagine that it is going to be tougher to achieve that. I do not — there are positively issues that might counsel that it is going to be simpler on iOS with SKAD (ph) and so forth. However our moving into place is that might be unchanged — and therefore, we can deploy new method with out compromising which we won’t do on our ROAS (ph). So our moving into place is that there isn’t any change and we positively not — we do not see that being worse not less than.

Thanks. And only one fast follow-up. The European regulators launched the EU Digital Markets Act, or I feel it got here into impact in November and I feel expire at early 2024, Apple and Google will basically have to permit third-party fee mechanisms inside the App Retailer. Are you able to simply remind us how Stillfront is ready as much as presumably make the most of that?
And what that might imply for a way you monetize video games and the way you attempt to retain gamers? And is that truly a significant alternative or do you imagine that the kind of conversion of gamers to really buy to make in-app purchases exterior on kind of internet shops, et cetera, goes to be tough or not? I similar to to get your ideas on that. Thanks.
Jorgen Larsson
Yeah. In order that’s a really fascinating subject. We’ve discovered via the final couple of years when this has been a subject for fairly a while that it’s extremely arduous to actually see that the change will occur early 2024 in the way in which that you simply described from the EU Act. However in fact, the strain is growing on app shops to permit for different fee strategies. We’ve already, since now we have cross-platform merchandise, now we have merchandise which are utilizing our fee options as an alternative of those in App Retailer. So we’re already bettering our gross margin and work systematically. However in fact, underneath sure limitations, clearly, however to some extent, we try this right this moment.
And I feel that there’s a very excessive likeness that, that may open up much more. I am undecided that can be early 2024. However over time, it is going to be extra an open atmosphere, which clearly, since now we have all of the fee resolution with underlying — the typical superior fee resolution really since will come from browser video games. So now we have our refined fee engine absolutely fledged in place already. So it is going to be good for us when it occurs. But it surely’s arduous to say precisely when.
Edward James
Nice. Thanks. Respect it, Jorgen.
Operator
There aren’t any extra questions right now. So I hand the convention again to the audio system for any closing feedback.

I feel and hope that, that can be a possibility so that you can perceive extra about the place we’re heading with Stillfront, but additionally not solely trying ahead, however going extra in depth of what had occurred final 12 months and the way our monetary mannequin seems like, how we work with our product portfolio and ESG and plenty of different fascinating areas. So tune in and benefit from the Capital Markets Day. Thanks, all.
