Finnish mobile game developer Supercell has reported revenue of $892 million for 2013, a significant gain on 2012′s revenue of $101 million. With just two games released (‘Clash of Clans‘ and ‘Hay Day‘), Supercell has seemingly cracked the winning formula in the mobile space.
CEO Ilkka Paananen firmly believes that this is down to the ‘people first’ approach of the company. “We believe the best people will create the best games,” he told the press this morning during Supercell’s earnings call, ahead of a disclosure filing required by Finland’s financial authorities.
“Money is not the reason we come to work each day. We come to work excited to build great games with amazing people. We view [the results] as validation for the great work that our people have done.” That validation comes in at revenue of $892 million; earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization of $464 million (due to Finnish regulation on the sale of virtual goods, Supercell is also reporting GAAP revenue of $889 million, and GAAP EBITDA of $322 million).
With the new game from Supercell, Boom Beach, it is reported that they earn about 2.3m per day. PER DAY.
