Supercell had a bad year when it comes to financials for 2018, but theses would be enviable for any other game company in the world. The Finnish maker of games such as Brawl Stars, Clash Royale, and Clash of Clans generated a profit of $635 million on revenue of $1.6 billion.

That was down from 2017 when Helsinki-based Supercell reported earnings before income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $810 million on revenues of $2.029 billion in 2017. That was also down from the year before in 2016, when Supercell reported EBITDA of $1 billion on $2.3 billion in revenues.
