They also make Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, and Hay Day.

"Despite tighter competition, this was the best year so far in financial terms. Clash Royale was a huge hit," Chief Executive Ilkka Paananen told reporters.

Supercell's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation rose to €917mil ($977 million) last year from €848mil ($904 million) in 2015. Revenue was broadly flat at €2.1bil ($2.24 bil).

Paananen said the company might test a new game in selected markets later this year, but there were no immediate plans to do so.

Founded in 2010, Supercell has just 213 employees but has become one of Finland's most profitable companies

CR is such a good game. Can't believe I'm still playing daily after a year.

numbers in parenthesis behind the euros supposed to be millions? not billions?

As in which games? Clash Royale was estimated at about $1 billion, and Clash Royale should be similarly-ish, with the other two making up the rest.

Yes, sorry.

Is this a nine month period or a 12 month period?

Context is definitely important here. What's their fiscal year timeline like?

For comparison Square Enix expects to make $2.2 billion in their total fiscal year (12 month earnings) and Capcom has already earned more than $1 billion from pachinko/pachislot in nine months.

$2 billion is pretty damn insane for a company that JUST makes mobile games though. These other players spend lots of R&D costs and reinvest their operational income into expensive AAA games too.
