The Board of Directors of Embracer Group AB (“Embracer Group”) today announces the intention to separate the group into two publicly listed companies, through the spin-off of Fellowship Entertainment with a listing on Nasdaq Stockholm planned for calendar year 2027. The main rationale is to further increase management focus to capture the full potential of the high-quality assets in the group and accelerate value creation.
- Fellowship Entertainment, an IP-led entertainment company built around game development, publishing and a licensing focus, as the stewards of The Lord of the Rings, Tomb Raider and many other great intellectual properties.
- Net Sales SEK of 4,393 million on an illustrative historical basis in FY 2025/26 and a total headcount of 2,169 as of 31 March, 2026.
- Embracer, a natural home for proven entrepreneurs, supported by a more efficient structure, with enhanced governance, tighter cost control, and disciplined capital allocation.
- Net Sales SEK of 11,544 million on an illustrative historical basis in FY 2025/26 and a total headcount of 3,518 as of 31 March, 2026.
Starting from Embracer Group’s Q1 FY 2026/27, the company will report through two distinct business segments: Fellowship Entertainment and Embracer. This new structure is designed to enhance transparency and highlight the unique strengths and strategies of each segment, in advance of the spin-off.
