PARIS, November 3 Gameloft
PARIS, November 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gameloft achieved
consolidated sales of EUR90.2 million for the first nine months of 2009, up
by 18% from the previous year. On a constant exchange rate basis, nine month
growth reached 16%.
In EUR millions 2009 2008 Variation

2nd quarter 29.3 25.0 +17%
3rd quarter 30.1 26.2 +15%

Third quarter sales reached EUR30.1 million, up by 15% from the previous
year on both a current and constant exchange rate basis. Mobile games account
for 95% of the company's third quarter sales. The remaining 5% are related to
console games sales.
Europe represents 38% of 2009 third quarter revenues, North America 31%
and the rest of the world 31%. The strongest growth took place in the rest of
the world, up 29% over the period, notably in Asia and South America. During
the first nine months of 2009, Europe, North America and the rest of the
world represented 38%, 33% and 29% of total sales, respectively.
Mobile game activity continues to grow rapidly. Revenue from this segment
increased 17% over the first nine months of the year due to the huge success
of Gameloft games on Apple's AppStore and to the strong performance of the
company's Java and Brew games. Therefore, the company expects solid sales and
profitability growth in 2009.
In the long term, Gameloft is in an ideal position to benefit from the
rapid development of digitally distributed video games on mobile phones and
consoles, as well as from the major innovations introduced by companies such
as Apple, Nokia and Google.
The group's consolidated full year sales will be published on February 2,
2010 after the market closes.
