what happened
Swedish tabletop games publisher Asmodee reported a broad quarterly beat on Friday, well ahead of analyst expectations. Organic sales climbed 33.3% to 551.8 million euros ($610.2 million), against a market forecast of 18.3% growth to 490 million euros, Reuters reported.
Board game sales rose 18.4% in the third quarter, while trading card games grew 51.6%. Adjusted core profit, or EBITDA, jumped 49.5% to 113.8 million euros, compared with a company-compiled consensus of 97.4 million. The company distributes Pokémon cards, Hasbro's Magic: The Gathering and Bandai Namco's One Piece cards, and has said the category remains extremely strong and durable.
why it matters
Hasbro last month raised its full-year forecast as demand for Magic: The Gathering builds ahead of the key holiday season. Asmodee's report suggests trading card games remain the main growth driver in the sector, which matters for Hasbro investors.
