Embracer Group Addresses Financial Challenges With Three-Step Plan That Will Entail "Difficult Decisions" (AKA: Probably Layoffs)
Embracer Group is confident it will achieve its goals by the end of the fiscal year.
Embracer Group, a major player in the gaming industry, has unveiled a three-step plan as part of its 2023/2024 restructuring program during its annual meeting — aimed at addressing financial challenges following losing a $2B deal, and improving the company's overall efficiency.
The company owns well-known IPs such as Tomb Raider, Dead Island, Metro, and Payday.
At the event, Embracer Group outlined a three-phase action plan. Phase 1 focuses on operational expenditure (Opex) and initial capital expenditure (capex) savings. Phase 2 involves additional capex savings and capital allocation initiatives. Phase 3 continues capital allocation initiatives and introduces efficiency improvements, including consolidation.
Founder and CEO Lars Wingefors expressed confidence in the plan, emphasizing the company’s determination to achieve its goals by the end of the fiscal year. While acknowledging the difficulty of some decisions that will be made, he believes these steps will ultimately lead to a stronger and more efficient company with a diverse portfolio of intellectual properties.
