Following a loss-making year, Finnish company Rovio announced Wednesday it gained a remarkable¹ profit in the first half of 2016.

 

芬兰Rovio公司周三宣布，2016年上半年有可观的盈利，该公司去年营业额曾亏损。
 

 

Known for its Angry Birds games, the Espoo-based entertainment company generated revenue of 76.4 million euros (about 85.6 million U.S. dollars), 10.3 million more than the first six months last year.

 

Its EBIT (Earnings before Interest & Taxes) profit was 5.7 million euros, rising by 15.9 million compared with the same period in 2015.

 

The results were achieved before profits from the movie of Angry Birds were counted. 

 

The movie has earned more than 347 million U.S. dollars at the box office globally since it started to release in May. It turned out to be the most selling newly released film in 52 countries including China and the United States, said Rovio.

 

"With the excellent performance of our games portfolio² and the fantastic movie, the Angry Birds brand is flying high," said Kati Levoranta, CEO of Rovio.
