Asmodee has finalized the acquisition of 100% of the French publisher ATM Gaming, marking the group's largest acquisition since its recent listing on the Stockholm stock exchange. The transaction is structured as a combinaison of cash payment, newly issued Asmodee shares, and a deferred payment component. This acquisition allows Asmodee to significantly reinforce its position in the "party game" category, which is currently seeing the highest growth rates in the industry. The group anticipates strong financial performance from the target, with Revenue and EBITDA projected to grow by 47% in 2026, reaching €50 million in sales and an EBITDA of €25 million, maintaining a robust 50% EBITDA margin. The deal includes an earn-out mechanism based on the target's performance over the next five years, aligning the interests of the founders with the group's long-term profitability goals. Strategically, this move signals a resumption of Asmodee’s historical M&A program, which has historically accounted for nearly half of the group's total expansion. By integrating ATM Gaming’s popular titles, Asmodee intends to deploy these IPs across its global distribution network to maximize international sales.

ATM GAMING, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2025, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN to the average currently observed in the TMT (Tech, Media, Telecom) sector (13.0x).
