Operational review
Introduction
Following its admission to trading on AIM in May 2018, Team17 is
pleased to report its maiden half year results. The Group continued
to deliver growth in the first half of the year, with revenues up
48% to GBP15.4m (H1 2017: GBP10.4m) and gross profit up 25% to
GBP6.9m versus H1 2017 at GBP5.5m.
The Group supports both owned first party IP and third party IP
- through partnering with indie developers globally - in the
development and publishing of games across multiple platforms
typically for a fixed percentage share of revenues. The Group
focuses on premium, rather than free to play games, and has
launched over 100 games, including the iconic and well-established
Worms franchise, as well as Overcooked and The Escapists.
The H1 performance has been driven by strong momentum of sales
across both the Group's back catalogue of titles, as well as
through sales of new titles launched in the period.
Strategy
Team17 was founded in 1990 and began launching third party games
through its games label in 2014, during which time the Company has
developed a strong market position, focused on the premium
high-quality independent gaming market. The market for premium high
quality games is seeing strong growth, driven by increased
accessibility for customers through digital distribution, and
reduced barriers to entry for developers with greater access to
online tools and development kits.
Through its games label, the Company partners with indie
developers across the world, from lone developers to large creative
studios, to provide a full partnership offering which spans
development, publishing and lifecycle management. The Company has a
stringent due diligence process in place, its greenlight process
which works to identify the best creative ideas and global
talent.
Having released over 100 games to date, Team17 has developed
significant experience in optimising go to market execution,
through influencer marketing, social media, traditional PR and
events, giving the games the best possible launch and creating
strong foundations for longevity. The Company seeks to maximize
long term revenues through building gaming franchises with
longevity, as demonstrated through the Worms franchise, and more
recently Overcooked and The Escapists.
Team17's significant back catalogue underpins revenues. In H1
2018 85% of revenues were derived from this channel (FY 2017: 53%).
The remainder of revenue is comprised of new franchises.
Wider market dynamics
The video games market has seen significant growth in recent
years, driven by advances in technology. Digital distribution has
made it easier for independent developers to launch games to a wide
market. In addition, gaming development tools are now more
accessible to developers and the trend of crowdfunding has enabled
indie developers to raise financing to convert ideas to
reality.
Team17 remains focused on the indie market. In H1 2018 alone
there have been over 4,000 games launched on Steam, a leading
digital distribution platform, compared to approximately 560 in the
whole of 2013.
Games development and launches in H1 2018
Team17 has seen continued strong momentum in H1 2018. The Group
is pleased to have successfully launched a number of games across
multiple platforms and see a strong pipeline of launches for H2
2018. The games have been a combination of new titles, and also new
franchises on existing, successful titles - all of which form an
important role in Team17's 'life cycle management' activity.
The games launched in H1 2018 include:
My Time at Portia First Chinese label partner launched
in January 2018 on Steam
The Escapists 2 Launched January 2018 on Nintendo Switch
Raging Justice Launched in May 2018 across all platforms
Yoku's Island Express Launched in May 2018 across all platforms
Forged Battalion Launched January 2018 on PC
Sheltered New game mode on Steam launched in January
2018
The Group's launch schedule continues to be a fluid process,
based on life cycle management initiatives and planning by the
commercial teams. Team17 has continued its launch program in H2,
and in early-September, announced the launch of PLANET ALPHA, the
Company's 100(th) game.
The Group has already scheduled the launch of a number of titles
throughout 2019, which will be announced at the optimum time to
benefit the individual titles. The pipeline underpins management's
confidence in the future prospects of the Group. The Company will
also remain focused on maximising the earnings potential of the
Company's portfolio.
As previously announced, the Group launched Overcooked 2 in
August 2018 to much critical acclaim.
Team17 continues to assess a large number of opportunities
through its games label greenlight process. With all opportunities,
Team17 works to maximize the game lifecycle, thereby creating an
avid platform of gamers looking for new titles from existing
franchises, and updates and extensions to existing games.
Current trading and outlook
The Group is delighted with the progress it has made in the
first half of the year and, as in previous years, expects a
stronger performance in the second half. As well as continuing to
grow the business, Team17 has undertaken a hugely successful IPO
and succeeded in raising the profile of the Group.
In line with Team17's growth strategy, the Group has invested in
both commercial and creative talent across both its Wakefield and
Nottingham offices. As such, Team17's commercial team has now
relocated to larger premises near Nottingham, supporting new game
launches in addition to maximising the lifecycle of the Group's
established back catalogue. The Group is also currently evaluating
opportunities to expand the development team and to relocate to
larger premises.
The Group continues to see strong momentum in the indie games
market and is confident it can continue to deliver significant
growth to its shareholders.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial
Statements
1. Nature of operations and general information
Team17 Group PLC and its subsidiaries (The Group) are a global
games label, creative partner and developer of independent
("indie"), premium video games.
The Group successfully floated on the UK AIM stock market on 23
May 2018.
2. Basis of preparation
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with the AIM
rules and IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the
European Union. The shares in the Company were admitted to the UK
AIM stock market on 23 May 2018. The condensed consolidated
financial statements for the 6 months ended 30 June 2018 should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements of Team 17
Holdings Limited for the year ended 31 December 2017 (the "Prior
year financial statements") which includes the financial results of
the group prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union. The
report of the auditors for the prior year financial statements for
the year ended 31 December 2017 was unqualified, did not contain an
emphasis of matter paragraph and did not include a statement under
Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006. The Group's interim
condensed consolidated financial information is not audited and
does not constitute statutory financial statements as defined in
Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. These condensed interim
financial statements were approved for issue on 3(rd) September
2018.
Going concern
The Directors are satisfied that the Group has adequate
resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future, and
accordingly continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing
the accounts.
Accounting policies
The Group's principal accounting policies used in preparing this
information are as stated on pages 18 to 24 of the prior year
financial statements with the exception of the Group reorganisation
as described below. There has been no change to any accounting
policy from the date of the prior year financial statements. In
connection with the admission, the Group undertook a reorganisation
of its corporate structure which resulted in the Company becoming
the ultimate holding company of the Group. Prior to the
reorganisation the ultimate holding company was Team 17 Holdings
Limited.
The transaction was accounted for as a capital reorganisation
rather than a reverse acquisition since it did not meet the
definition of a business combination under IFRS 3. In a capital
reorganisation, the consolidated financial statements of the Group
reflect the predecessor carrying amounts of Team 17 Holdings
Limited with comparative information of Team 17 Holdings Limited
presented for all periods since no substantive economic changes
have occurred.
The requirements of IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 -
Revenue from contracts with customers have been adopted in this
financial information. Both standards were adopted by Team 17
Holdings Limited in the financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2017. There was no impact of the adoption of these
standards to any balances previously reported.

Factors that may affect future tax charges
As a result of changes to the UK corporation tax rates that were
substantively enacted as part of the Finance Bill 2016 on 6
September 2016 the main rate will reduce to 17% from 1 April 2020.
Deferred taxes at the balance sheet date have been measured using
these enacted tax rates and reflected in these interim condensed
consolidated financial statements.
7. Admission to AIM
This note should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of
cash flows. The Group's admission onto AIM involved a number of
transactions which are explained below:
i) Capital re-organisation
Prior to Admission the Company acquired the entire share capital
of Team 17 Holdings Limited (comprising GBP0.01 nominal ordinary
shares) in exchange for issuing the same number of its own ordinary
shares (of GBP1 nominal ordinary shares) to the existing
shareholders of Team 17 Holdings Limited. This transaction was
under common control and treated as a capital restructuring and not
a business combination. The Company recorded the investment at fair
value and applied group reconstruction relief, leading to the
creation of the merger reserve of GBP153,822,000. The impact of
this transaction on the consolidated financial statements is
disclosed as a 'Capital reorganisation' in the statement of changes
in equity.
Subsequently (but prior to admission), the Company sub-divided
its GBP1 ordinary shares into GBP0.01 nominal shares. The impact of
this share split has been taken into account in the calculation of
Earnings per share in accordance with IAS 33. The sub-division of
shares has been retrospectively applied from the first day of the
comparative financial period, leading to an increase in the
weighted average number of shares in issue across all periods. EPS
for the year ending 31 December 2017 has been restated as a
result.
ii) New share issue
Prior to the listing the Company had in issue 103,962,794
GBP0.01 ordinary shares. As part of the IPO the Company issued a
further 27,325,482 GBP0.01 ordinary shares, at GBP1.65 per share.
This raised a total of GBP45,087,045. A further 37,849,200 existing
sale shares were placed, at GBP1.65, by the existing shareholders.
Following admission, the Company had in issue 131,288,276 ordinary
GBP0.01 shares of which 65,174,682 were placed on AIM.
The GBP45,087,045 proceeds of the share issue were utilised by
the Company to: repay shareholder loan notes (GBP37,970,000); repay
director loans (GBP1,345,000); repay accrued interest on
shareholder loan notes (GBP4,630,000); repay accrued interest on
directors loans (GBP198,000); and settle transaction costs
associated with the listing (note 4).
