1Q25 results unlikely to be majorcatalyst We make no changes to our FY numbers or price target butshow our 1Q25 forecasts ahead of this evening's results. Wedo not assume a notable boost in Q2 from Cyberpunk 2077 onSwitch 2 in Q2 - but it is possible. We expect 2025 and 2026 tobe low years before The Witcher 4 releases in 2027. CDR.WA/CDR PWUNDERWEIGHTUnchanged European MediaNEUTRALUnchanged CD Projekt's momentum has been decent in recent quarters and we have ongoing goodprogress in 1Q25, considering the lack of catalysts, but this is still below 1Q24 and definitelybelow 4Q24. With the same operating profit margin as FY24, our 1Q25 profits are above aquarter of our FY forecasts for sure - we assume lower revenue in 2H25. We have modestlypositive net interest but we have them paying some tax in the P&L in 1Q25. Overall that leavesthe numbers below. Other factors for these results are: •How helpful the launch of Switch 2 on 5th June can be for Cyberpunk 2077 unit sales; •Whether there will be any other trailers or other content for The Witcher 4 coming up; •Anything new on the timing of the project to deliver The Witcher 4(aftermanagement makingit clear at the FY24 results that it would not land in 2026).
