Sales up 2.3% in Q3 2020/21
In Q3 2020/2021 (from October 1 to December 31, 2020), Bigben posted 87.3 M€ sales up 2.3%, driven by the momentum of Nacon Gaming, while the recovery of Audio/Telco was slowed down by the 2nd lockdown.
NACON GAMING
Games : Due to Q3 publishing releases limited to two new games targetting profitable but narrow niches (
Monster Truck®, Handball 21), sales were down by 19.7%. The share of digital sales continues to grow and represents 74.4% of quarterly sales. The contribution of the back catalogue
(2), a source of high margins, is up very sharply to 6.9 M€ (+ 216% compared to Q3 2019/20).
Accessories : Accessories continued their strong growth with 32.5 M€ sales up 58.7%, thanks to the growing success of RIG® headsets and sustained sales of Nacon accessories, particularly of licensed controllers and headsets.
