Gameloft reports €122m revenues for 2009

Up 11% year-on-year, with iPhone accounting for €17.6m of them.

Mobile games publisher Gameloft has announced consolidated sales of €31.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 - down 6% year-on-year.

The publisher has blamed its withdrawl from the boxed games market in January 2009, as well as currency fluctuations. On a like-for-like basis, it claims sales were actually up 7% in Q4.

Despite the end-of-year disappointment, Gameloft enjoyed a storming 2009 as a whole. The company's revenues totalled €122 million (around $170.4 million) - up 11% on 2008's €110.3 million.

Gameloft also split out its revenues from iPhone, saying that it made €17.6 million from App Store sales in 2009 - of which €7 million came in the fourth quarter alone.

That means that for the full year, iPhone accounted for 14.4% of the publisher's revenues - and 22% in the final quarter.

Europe accounted for 39% of the publisher's full-year revenues in 2009, with North America contributing 32%, and the rest of the world 29%.

The company also says it expects to be more profitable for 2009, with its operating margin before stock options expected to top 8%, compared to 3% in 2008.
