between the depth of the current console cycle (despite entering the 3rd year)
continues to act as a potential forward catalyst against a backdrop of
delayed/deferred publishing content in the coming years. In terms of lapping the
effects of the pandemic’s stay-at-home dynamic, the industry (based on 3rd party
data) could be emerging from tougher comps and be set up for a mixture of better
(non-mobile) revenue performance ahead. We remain cognizant that the
macroeconomic environment remains volatile (especially with respect to consumer
spending) but would characterize the industry’s historical precedent as more
recession resilient than recession proof in the coming quarters. Lastly, we see
mobile gaming trends as a continued headwind to results in 2H ’22 as the industry
continues to absorb the double headwinds of the surge in pandemic gaming habits
(user & monetization growth) and the growth impacts of Apple’s iOS privacy changes
in July 2021. On this past point, our digital advertising checks point to some signs of
growing optimism that Apple’s imminent SK Ad Network 4.0 iteration could aid in

improving measurement/attribution and with it improve the mobile app economy
advertising landscape.
As we move past 2022 into the next few years, we see a couple of key industry
themes emerging: 1) easier comps as such user growth/engagement trends are
lapped and the industry resumes more normalized growth dynamics (link to
resumption of coverage of Japan’s games, entertainment, & internet sector); 2) the
industry moves to raise the level of mobile gaming exposure into the category that
should provide above industry wide growth in the coming years; & 3) the console
cycle (now in its 3rd year) finally seeing a catch up trade in 2023 in terms of units as
global chip and supply/logistic headwinds begin to abate – with early evidence that
next gen consoles are following a normalized pattern of producing increased
software IP monetization in terms of attach rate. In this earnings preview for the

production delays related to COVID and longer development cycles to take advantage of
advanced technology with the new generation of consoles. Goldman Sachs’ Sony
analyst Minami Munakata forecasts PlayStation 5 being on par with PlayStation 4
sell-through by 2024 and expects the cumulative tie ratio (software units per hardware)
to be in line with PlayStation 4 by 2023, indicating that AAA publishers will be releasing
more premium titles in 2023 and beyond

While the 9th generation of consoles still lags behind the 8th generation (in terms of
lifetime units on a comparative basis), AAA publishers’ pipeline remains robust for the
remainder of the year with key titles (that are not on an annual cadence) being:
Overwatch 2 (ATVI), Skull and Bones (UBI), and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (EA; we note
it’s been slated for CY2023 so TBD on whether it will fall within FY23 or FY24). Of note,
Ubisoft recently pushed Skull and Bones to 3/9/2023 (from prior 11/8/2022) with
management highlighting the extra time being allocated towards polishing the game and
incorporating players’ feedback from their open beta. Despite the game being pushed
back to the very end of UBI’s FY23, management reiterated its FY22-23 financial
targets.

As can be seen below in Exhibit 4, US video game sales continued to decline in July and
August 2022, but point to improving trends since the beginning of the year. Within total
US video game sales, hardware exhibited healthy double-digit growth in July and August
as the latest consoles continue to see adoption. While Sony has raised prices for their
PlayStation 5 by ~$50 in various regions, we note that the US has not yet experienced
the price increase. Looking at content and accessories, both segments were down YoY
abf1713081cf4bd28921692cb124a462
in July and August; however, video game content also exhibited recovering trends in the
months of July and August.

Formula 1 22 both ranked within the top 10. For August, EA’s Madden NFL 23 ranked #5
while ATVI’s Call of Duty: Vanguard dropped to #7. However, we note that the monthly
rankings are highly dependent on timing of release. In addition, the below exhibit is
tracking unit sales for the US only and with that, there are certain titles that
over/under-index to the US (e.g., Madden vs. FIFA). Looking at the last twelve months,
ATVI and UBI both have 1 title within the top 10 while EA has 3 (Madden NFL 22,
Battlefield 2042, FIFA 22) - typically the top 10 (LTM) are fairly stable while monthly
rankings can be fairly volatile given the release schedule.

engagement across major publishers and markets. We believe these data points are
useful for flagging inflection points in region-specific and overall engagement trends.
Broadly speaking, we have seen the global gaming market struggle this year as macro
pressures weigh on the consumer and data shows YoY revenues declines every month
this year. On a geographic level, over the past several years we have noticed large
momentum in Asia and LatAm. We use app downloads as a proxy for market share and
note that Asia has increased share from 35% in 1Q18 to 42% in 3Q22 (and LatAm from
17% to 21% during that same time period). More recently, all regions have seen YoY
declines in app downloads in Q3’22 as the mobile environment remains challenged
amidst the macroeconomic uncertainty.

Looking across our video game coverage space, we leverage SensorTower data to
examine current-quarter trends for each publisher, looking at top-10 grossing games and
estimates of consolidated metrics across revenue growth, market share dynamics, and
engagement (i.e., time spent/MAU). It is worth noting that the data is derived from
third-party sources and might differ from official company-reported figures.
n Revenue. With the release of Diablo Immortal (on mobile), Activision Blizzard
experienced 14% YoY growth in Q3.
n Share. Activision Blizzard has maintained its market share of around 4% since June
2022 which we attribute to the June release of Diablo Immortal.
n Time per user. Time spent/MAU is a mixed bag, with Candy Crush Saga and Candy
Crush Soda saga (Activision Blizzard’s top 2 games) continuing to decline YoY while
Hearthston and Pet Rescue Saga have maintained healthy YoY growth rates.

Disclosure Appendix
Reg AC
We, Eric Sheridan, Lane Czura and Sarah Boulos, hereby certify that all of the views expressed in this report accurately reflect our personal views about
the subject company or companies and its or their securities. We also certify that no part of our compensation was, is or will be, directly or indirectly,
related to the specific recommendations or views expressed in this report.
Unless otherwise stated, the individuals listed on the cover page of this report are analysts in Goldman Sachs’ Global Investment Research division.
GS Factor Profile
The Goldman Sachs Factor Profile provides investment context for a stock by comparing key attributes to the market (i.e. our coverage universe) and its
sector peers. The four key attributes depicted are: Growth, Financial Returns, Multiple (e.g. valuation) and Integrated (a composite of Growth, Financial
Returns and Multiple). Growth, Financial Returns and Multiple are calculated by using normalized ranks for specific metrics for each stock. The
normalized ranks for the metrics are then averaged and converted into percentiles for the relevant attribute. The precise calculation of each metric may
vary depending on the fiscal year, industry and region, but the standard approach is as follows:
Growth is based on a stock’s forward-looking sales growth, EBITDA growth and EPS growth (for financial stocks, only EPS and sales growth), with a
higher percentile indicating a higher growth company. Financial Returns is based on a stock’s forward-looking ROE, ROCE and CROCI (for financial
stocks, only ROE), with a higher percentile indicating a company with higher financial returns. Multiple is based on a stock’s forward-looking P/E, P/B,
price/dividend (P/D), EV/EBITDA, EV/FCF and EV/Debt Adjusted Cash Flow (DACF) (for financial stocks, only P/E, P/B and P/D), with a higher percentile
indicating a stock trading at a higher multiple. The Integrated percentile is calculated as the average of the Growth percentile, Financial Returns
percentile and (100% - Multiple percentile).
For the exclusive use of [email protected]
Financial Returns and Multiple use the Goldman Sachs analyst forecasts at the fiscal year-end at least three quarters in the future. Growth uses inputs
for the fiscal year at least seven quarters in the future compared with the year at least three quarters in the future (on a per-share basis for all metrics).
For a more detailed description of how we calculate the GS Factor Profile, please contact your GS representative.
M&A Rank
Across our global coverage, we examine stocks using an M&A framework, considering both qualitative factors and quantitative factors (which may vary
across sectors and regions) to incorporate the potential that certain companies could be acquired. We then assign a M&A rank as a means of scoring
companies under our rated coverage from 1 to 3, with 1 representing high (30%-50%) probability of the company becoming an acquisition target, 2
representing medium (15%-30%) probability and 3 representing low (0%-15%) probability. For companies ranked 1 or 2, in line with our standard
departmental guidelines we incorporate an M&A component into our target price. M&A rank of 3 is considered immaterial and therefore does not
factor into our price target, and may or may not be discussed in research.
