Q1FY27 Results
Building a Global Gaming Operating Platform
Nazara: A Step-Change in Scale and Operating Capability
Q1FY27 marks a significant step forward in Nazara’s evolution into a global gaming operating platform. Our shared capabilities across user acquisition, data, product and
growth are translating into stronger performance across the gaming portfolio, while the proposed acquisition of 100% of Bluetile and BestPlay materially expands the
Group’s scale and operating capabilities.
Consolidated revenue was INR 429 crore and EBITDA was INR 46 crore. Reported PAT was a loss of INR 82 crore, largely attributable to share of loss from associates (INR 62
crore) and impairment loss (INR 22 crore). Excluding the impact of NODWIN’s deconsolidation, comparable revenue grew approximately 9% YoY. Gaming revenue
increased 14% YoY to INR 275 crore, with an EBITDA margin of 19.5%, and all gaming businesses remained EBITDA-positive.
Kiddopia revenue grew 19% YoY as user acquisition was scaled behind improving unit economics. Fusebox revenue increased 12% YoY to INR 82 crore, while Animal Jam
revenue grew 11% YoY.
The Board - on the recommendation of its Investment Committee - has approved an amendment to the previously announced transaction structure to acquire 100% of
Bluetile and BestPlay for fixed all-cash consideration of USD 303 million. The businesses reported INR 518 crore of revenue and INR 55 crore of EBITDA in Q1FY27 and,
subject to closing, are expected to be consolidated from Q2FY27.
The Board has also approved the appointment of Raymond A. Stauffer as Chief Executive Officer, effective 1 September 2026, subject to relevant regulatory
approvals. Raymond brings a founder’s mindset and a proven record of AI-enabled development, operating discipline and capital-efficient growth.
As Founder and Managing Director, I will continue to shape Nazara’s long-term strategy, portfolio direction and key relationships, working closely with Raymond and the
Board.
Nazara enters its next phase with greater scale, stronger leadership and significantly deeper operating capability.
