Supercell said earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and
amortization increased to 848 million euros ($930 million) from
515 million in 2014, while revenue rose to 2.11 billion euros
from 1.55 billion.
Chief Executive Ilkka Paananen said growth was driven by rising
sales in Asia, particularly in China, where Supercell released
Clash of Clans in all the main mobile application stores in
2015.
In Supercell's games, a significant part of revenue comes from
in-game purchases. The company was listed the top earning
application publisher in the iOS App Store and the Google Play
Store in 2015 by research company App Annie, ahead of Candy
Crush maker King <ATVI.O>.
Japanese tech and telecoms company SoftBank Corp <9984.T>, which
owns a majority stake in Supercell, increased its holding in the
company to 77.3 percent during last year.
