INSIDE INFORMATION: The Board of Directors of Embracer Group AB (“Embracer Group”) today announces a transformative step for value creation through a separation of the group into three market-leading games and entertainment companies: Asmodee Group, “Coffee Stain & Friends”[1] and “Middle-earth Enterprises & Friends”[1]. The three entities will be separate, publicly listed companies, enabling each entity to better focus on their respective core strategies and offer more differentiated and distinct equity stories for existing and new shareholders. This will enable the entities to unlock value in the high-quality assets of Embracer Group following the successful completion of the restructuring program.
The three separate publicly listed entities are expected to consist of:
Asmodee, a global leading tabletop games publisher and distributor with an extensive studio network and IP catalogue.
Net Sales of SEK 14.8 billion and Adjusted EBIT of SEK 1.9 billion on a pro forma basis as per LTM[2] December 2023
“Coffee Stain & Friends”, a diverse gaming entity with a dual focus on indie and A/AA premium and free-to-play games for PC/console and mobile, with a high degree of recurring revenues.
Net Sales of SEK 10.9 billion, Adjusted EBIT of SEK 2.8 billion on a pro forma basis as per LTM December 2023.
“Middle-earth Enterprises & Friends”, a creative powerhouse in AAA game development and publishing for PC and console, as well as the stewards of The Lord of the Rings and Tomb Raider intellectual properties, among many others.
Oh I hope the studios will find new owners, but those greedy fucks from embracer need to go down. Under their leadership those studios will only see cost reductions and they have to fear closure at all times, Embracer does not care about the creativity of it’s studios only the pricetag they can put on them.

Value creation is not about how your corporation is structured, but how you treat your passionate development team whose talent creates valued games.
Un-embraced.
This is kind of good news, at the very least it means Coffee Stain will be fine and separated from whatever the hell embracer is doing.
Publicly traded though… Ugh.
Man, they really do not have people that are good at naming things do they?
They should’ve call each Embracer, Expander and Extinguisher.
Sure, if they didn’t understand what that phrase meant.
Why not “Middle-earth Enterprises & Mellyn”? Is this fucking amateur-hour?
really hope they go into bankruptcy
I don’t. They have so many great studios in there, and you just know those will be the ones fully closed in procedures.
Oh I hope the studios will find new owners, but those greedy fucks from embracer need to go down.
