This postponement will allow the Big Bad Wolf studio (Cyanide) to fine-tune the development of this flagship title in the Nacon portfolio and increase its quality in order to maximize its potential and generate significant revenue for the next fiscal year.Despite this postponement, Nacon is relying on the good trend of its activities to revise its 2020/21 sales target upwards to between 150 M€ and 160 M€ (vs. 129.4 M€ as at 31 March 2020).Thanks to the growth in back catalogue digital sales, Nacon is able to confirm a COI (1) rate of 18% for 2020/21. (1)Current Operating Income (COI) rate = Current Operating Income in percentage of sales = Current Operating Margin
