Anders Hørsholt, CEO Astralis A/S:

- The continued effects of the pandemic on the advertising market and live events affected our business negatively, still, we maintain the positive development of our business with a doubling of revenue and a continued improvement in operating profit.

- In addition to the positive development in revenue and operating profit, we note several positives:

- With the opening of Astralis Nexus we have taken the first step towards establishing ourselves in the broader gaming market, we have maintained and extended important commercial partnership agreements and at the same time entered into new agreements, including the new main partner, and our franchise slot in LEC has been priced by the market at a value of 26.5 million Euros, which more than 20 million Euros above the book value.

- The development in the value of franchise rights confirms our strategy in this area. In addition to our franchise slot in LEC, which is a part of the largest tournament in League of Legends, we own league rights in Counter-Strike, where we in addition to our co-ownership of Pro League, hold rights in both Pro League and in BLAST. These or similar rights have not yet been traded in the market.

- Reduced effects of the pandemic will gradually improve our business opportunities in key business areas, however, we do not expect significant effects in the coming six months. Still, we expect to continue the positive development and we maintain our expectations for the result for the full year.
