Supercell will move into a new headquarters in Finland when the pandemic allows.

Supercell’s Brawl Stars is its fifth mobile game to cross $1 billion

Supercell is an extraordinary company that prints money with its mobile games. But in 2020, it had another off year from a financial analyst’s point of view, with before-tax profits at $463 million and revenue down to $1.48 billion, compared to before-tax profits of $577 million on revenue of $1.56 billion in 2019.

The company reported its results for 2020 today, as it does once a year per Finnish law. But the Helsinki-based company doesn’t dwell on financials, as it generates more money per employee than most companies could ever hope to. With 340 workers, Supercell generated roughly $4.3 million per employee. That’s pretty brilliant, considering the company has a somewhat socialist view of the world.
