Good day, and welcome to the CD PROJEKT Group Financial Results for Q1 2021 Conference Call. Today's conference is being recorded. At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to Mr. Adam Kicinski. Please go ahead, sir.

A
Adam Kicinski
executive

Thank you. Good evening, hello. Welcome to the teleconference dedicated to CD PROJEKT Group results for the first quarter of 2021. My name is Adam Kicinski, and I will run this call together with Piotr Nielubowicz and Michal Nowakowski. The webcast of the presentation along with the audio feed is also streamed on our corporate website at cdprojekt.com and our IR Youtube channel. Let's get started.

Please jump to Slide 3. Improving Cyberpunk 2077 remains our top priority. Since the beginning of this year, we've released 5 updates. And of course, there is more to come. The next update is to be released in a few weeks. As we announced before, this year, you can also expect free DLCs providing small bonus content for gamers as well as an updated next-gen addition of the game, which is scheduled for the second half of the year.

On Slide #4, you can see how our efforts improved Cyberpunk stability. The crush rate is getting lower and lower with each update. Please bear in mind that it's somewhat natural for each new update to cause some extra short-term boost in statistics, which is strictly related to the process of downloading and installing the update itself. That's why the chart shows local peaks around the time of releases. But overall, we can definitely observe a downward trend here. Given the recent improvement and motivation, we have, we strongly believe that the game will prove success in the long run.

Moving on the next 2 slides, The Witcher franchise. On Slide 6, you can see our plans related to the Witcher universe for this year. Spokko, the youngest member of the CD PROJEKT family is about to launch The Witcher: Monster Slayer, a free-to-play mobile location-based RPG that uses AR technology. This release is expected this summer. As for the second half of the year, we plan to release the next-gen addition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. That's all from my side.

So let's now move on to Slide 7. Piotr, the floor is yours.

P
Piotr Nielubowicz
executive

Thank you, Adam. Let's start with our P&L statement. This year's first quarter results are presented together with our 2020 Q1, which by then was the best first quarter we ever had. Last year due to the pandemic, the release of The Witcher series and that of The Witcher 3: Nintendo Switch, Q1 2020 revenue-wise was nearly 2.5x better than the first quarter of 2019. This year, these growth drivers appear to be gone. In the first quarter of 2021, Cyberpunk was our leading IP, which generated nearly 60% of sales of products at CD PROJEKT. It's worth mentioning that due to the nonexistence of Cyberpunk on the Sony Digital Store, which is potentially the second biggest marketplace for us and settlements of sales provisions we set in Q4, our Cyberpunk revenue subsidized growth have mainly been driven by PC digital channels.

The second source of revenue comes from goods and materials fueled by the GOG.com segment, where the segment itself enjoyed a 12% increase quarter-to-quarter. As always, our sales were accompanied by cost of sales. The main increase here is visible in the cost of products and services sold [indiscernible] which we included -- where we included PLN 17 million depreciation of Cyberpunk 2077. Our gross profit from sales reached PLN 135 million, PLN 10 million less than a year ago despite the PLN 17 million Cyberpunk depreciation.

Our operating costs increased driven by 4 main factors: First, a big part of the debt team was working on updating Cyberpunk and since this was a service to an already released games, game costs were booked directly into P&L into the selling cost line. Total servicing costs dedicated to Cyberpunk added to the much smaller Gwent live operation service costs and altogether amounted to PLN 30 million in the first quarter this year.

Second, during first quarter, we run research and prototyping works for our subsequent projects. Such expenses need to be booked directly into P&L into the general and administrative costs. These expenses amounted to over PLN 9 million and represent approximately half of the increase of the G&A position. Thirdly, the general and administrative costs include PLN 9.4 million of nonmonetary costs related to our Employee Stock Option Plan. This is PLN 5.5 million more than the respective cost of the previous program booked in the first quarter of 2020.

And last but not least, the increase in all our operating costs also reflects the growth of the back-office marketing, communication and sales teams over the last year. Year-on-year, the headcount for this part of the team grew approximately by 1/6. All in all, deducting financial expenses and income taxes, our net profit for the period amounted to PLN 32.5 million, which is proportionally less than usual. Mainly due to the time limited research and servicing works booked directly into our costs of this quarter.

Let's now move to the next page, our consolidated balance sheet. Our fixed assets grew by PLN 144 million, reaching over PLN 900 million. This growth comes mostly from the increase of financial assets as a result of foreign T-bonds acquisition, which was made to diversify and allocate some of our financial reserves. The PLN 64 million growth of other fixed assets is a [indiscernible] below, comes mostly from the recalculation of our deferred income taxes by nearly PLN 60 million. But the most notable changes occurred among the working assets.

The -- our receivables increased by PLN 1 billion -- decreased by PLN 1.091 billion leading to an increase of cash and bank deposits by PLN 823 million, and PLN 114 million increased from domestic T-bonds included in the other financial assets line. All in all, over the first 3 months of 2021, the total value of our cash fund deposits and T-bonds increased by PLN 1.04 billion reaching a total of PLN 1.915 billion.

Moving to the equity and liability side. The sales provisions we set as long term at the end of 2020 were classified to short-term provisions. Hence, the change from PLN 145 million to 0 for this provision as of the end of March 2021. At the same time, the total value of provisions among the short-term liabilities increased by PLN 40 million. Together with the decrease of long-term provisions, this made the total balance of provisions to decrease by PLN 105 million. Over the first quarter of 2021, we also reported an increase in our liabilities. This is mainly caused by the growth of our current income tax liabilities by PLN 66 million. This growth was offset in big part by the deferred income tax asset decrease, I mentioned a minute ago.

Let's move to the next page. Each time, I comment on the results, I typically present the chart with our expenditures and development projects. This time, I decided to slightly modify it to visualize the allocation of our developers efforts in recent quarters and explain how respective costs were booked and influenced our P&L and balance sheet. The blue part represents our expenditures and development projects. It's a book perspective. This is the quarterly increase in the capitalized value. Why was it so high in 2020 Q4, mainly due to the final phase of the development of Cyberpunk related costs, including provisions for developers bonuses. This year, the capitalized amount was smaller as many of the developers were moved to auto tasks. The yellow part represent costs of servicing already released games.

Until the release of Cyberpunk on the 10th of December, these costs were mainly related to Gwent. After the release of Cyberpunk, a big part of the team was moved to updating the game, which translated into the increase for Q4 and especially Q1 2021. And the green part represents the so-called research costs, initial costs for prototyping of new projects. As you can see, we had initiated this cost last year, but the increase clearly occurred this year. Both the yellow and the green parts, which are servicing and research expenses were booked directly into our profit and loss calculation. Please note that the Spokko company, which works full force on the coming The Witcher: Monster Slayer game is not included in the presented consolidated results yet.

Let's move to the next page, simplified cash flow presentation. Putting aside the bookkeeping qualification of incomes, costs and expenses, this quarter, we reported record high positive cash flows for the group. Remaining revenues from the premier of Cyberpunk were paid into the company, which resulted in the decrease of receivables. All in all, our cash bank deposits and T-bonds value increased by PLN 1.04 billion and reached an unprecedented total of PLN 1.95 billion.

And this smoothly adjust to the next page. Based on the strong financial position and taking into consideration the PLN 455 million excess of short-term liabilities over receivables as of the end of Q1, the Board of CD PROJEKT proposed to the general meeting to pay out a dividend in the total amount of nearly PLN 504 million, which translates into PLN 5 per share. The dividend day is set for tomorrow, and the dividend is to be paid out on the 8th of June.

Thank you. That's all from my side. Now we can move to the Q&A section.

[Operator Instructions]

And we start with our first question from Nick Dempsey, Barclays.

N
Nick Dempsey
analyst

Good evening, guys. Can you hear me, okay?

P
Piotr Nielubowicz
executive

Yes, we can. Hello?

N
Nick Dempsey
analyst

Sorry, 2 questions please. First of all, I would love to get an understanding of the Cyberpunk unit sales in the quarter? And secondly, one of you could update us on your conversations with Sony about what it would take to get you back on the PlayStation Store. Clearly, you've shown us some metrics that have been improving there. But does Sony have a particular set of metrics in their mind, which would then allow you to go back on the store? Or how have those conversations progressed?

P
Piotr Nielubowicz
executive

Okay. So I'll start with the first question. We usually communicate on unit sales [indiscernible] wherewith certain milestones, round numbers that we can announce. And this quarter, as usual, we presented revenues divided into each segment. And we've been set of PROJEKT RED, we also guided how much of the revenue was dedicated to Cyberpunk. So close to 60% of product sales revenues came from Cyberpunk. And as I mentioned, most of the sales came from PC digital distribution channels.

M
Michal Nowakowski
executive

Michal Nowakowski, here. Sorry?

N
Nick Dempsey
analyst

I was just going to follow up there. So maybe if I could just follow up on that answer in. If we take sort of that your average sort of digital revenue per unit to be somewhere in the PLN 135, PLN 140 kind of sort of range when I look at what I use for Ubisoft, et cetera, that would get me to 800,000-ish kind of sort of range of Cyberpunk units sold. Am I at all in the right ballpark?

P
Piotr Nielubowicz
executive

I'm afraid this kind of calculation is not to be applied on CD PROJEKT and especially for a very special quarter like the first quarter after the release. Please note that the revenues we present are the revenues we achieved from our distributors. And in the case of Ubisoft, the situation is different. Ubisoft directly distributes many of their games and have direct access to retail channels, which we do not. So our sales are based on wholesale cooperation with partners that then supply the retail stores, and, therefore, the characteristics and the pricing is different.

N
Nick Dempsey
analyst

I'm sorry to come back again, but you did say it was mostly PC and digital. So I was thinking that, that wholesale partner relationship would be less relevant to the average revenue per unit in this particular quarter?

P
Piotr Nielubowicz
executive

To give you some more light on that. When a retail store sells a copy, it probably purchased this copy back last year. So this number of copies was reported to us by distributors last year. And we reported the revenue for this last year. At the same time last year, we've set certain provisions for potential returns and the refunds we will be having with our distributors. But all this time, during Q1, the retail stores keep selling the game. So there are 2 totally different layers. Our cooperation with distributors and the retail stores, which keep selling it again. Therefore, direct comparison of the 2 cannot be made and especially in such a first quarter, first after the release, where distributors still have the stock purchased on release -- where retail stores still have the stock purchased on release.

Operator

And we take our next question from Matthew Walker, Credit Suisse.

M
Michal Nowakowski
executive

I believe there was -- sorry, I believe there was a second question, which we didn't get to because there was like ongoing questioning about the units. The second one was about the Sony and the PlayStation and particular set of metrics, how the conversation progresses? So I kind of go deep into the set of metrics or how the conversation progresses. This has to remain at the discretion of PlayStation, of course, ourselves. But yes, there is some sort of metrics, let's put it like that at a high level. But again, we're not going -- we cannot go into the details of where we are with that. But there is a process we're in the middle of that process and this conversation is happening. That's as much as we can say. The decision will be announced when it's ready to be announced.

Operator

Our next question is from Matthew Walker, Credit Suisse.

M
Matthew Walker
analyst

Just a few questions, please. The first is, could you give us the actual digital percentage of sales in the quarter? Secondly, can you tell us what discounting happened in the quarter and what you're doing for discounting, if anything, in Q2? And then longer term, could you say, has -- you're doing the simultaneous game development? Could you tell us when is work likely or has work started already on 2 new games? Or could you tell us when work is likely to start on those games?

P
Piotr Nielubowicz
executive

So I will take the first one. I assume, you mean that digital percent of Cyberpunk sales or overall our sales in the first quarter?

M
Matthew Walker
analyst

Yes, overall.

P
Piotr Nielubowicz
executive

So it was very much digital. I do not have the figure in the front of myself that I could reliably give you. But as I mentioned, the retail stores, in general, still have the stock they purchased on release and they keep selling it. This means that our distributors do not ship additional quantities to them. So our revenues do not include any additional sales on them. What influences our revenues are the digital sales as then the sales are instant and the reporting is instant without the sub distributor in the middle of the process. And most of the sales occurred for PC on all of the available PC platforms. There's obviously the Xbox digital sales. And since Cyberpunk is not existent on the Sony storefront, we didn't report any revenues, any sales from this one. However, obviously, The Witcher 3 was still selling, but for the overall picture, definitely digital was doing most of the revenues for us.

M
Michal Nowakowski
executive

Michal Nowakowski, again. I can take the second one. So when it comes to discounting, there's basically 2 kinds of discounts: one is what we call permanent markdown, which is like a permanent slash of price and the other one is promotional. So within Q1, I am not aware of a permanent markdown. There's been a bunch of promotional markdowns happening both in physical and in digital. You have to remember that we are not in direct control of the discounts that are happening in the retail. Of course, there is -- that remains at the retail discretion. There is, of course, special support funds, sort of like a marketing support fund for retail to do those, which is normal for any game, to be honest, in a quarter post-launch. This is nothing unusual here.

So that's been happening for CP. I have seen discounts between 20%, 30% and 40%, depending on the occasion on the country, on the territory. Now there's as many stories as there are retailers around the world. In terms of digital, I've seen discounts of 10% and 20% on the PC -- PC storefront. When it comes to planned discounting policy for Q2, we, of course, have certain assumptions and plans of what's going to be happening there. But we are definitely not in a position to review that -- actually seen anybody reveal ahead that kind of plans. So that's it.

A
Adam Kicinski
executive

And I'll take the third one, Adam Kicinski. So as we announced during the strategy update, we are planning to start AAA development from 2022. But of course -- and this year is a year of transformation. There is much more work on Cyberpunk. Of course, a big part of the team is still working on Cyberpunk. But definitely, there are teams preparing future unannounced projects. I would say that 1/3 of the Cyberpunk team or AAA content team is working on unannounced things. But it's not like we are in parallel AAA development. It's rather preparation for future works, not development per se.

Operator

Our next question is from Ken Rumph, Jefferies.

K
Kenneth Rumph
analyst

So 3 questions, if I may. Perhaps if you could just enlarge a little bit on that point about staff. Your original plan had been that the Cyberpunk team would kind of divide into 3, 1/3 moving on to a new project, 1/3 working on DLCs and maybe a 1/3 on the mobile game, I think. Anyway, tell me perhaps sort of how things divide up at the moment?

Secondly, regarding Xbox, it's on sale, but when you click through, there is a warning saying there may be issues, pending patches and so on. Is there a similar kind of discussion going on with Xbox? And finally, in terms of next-gen versions of the game and, hopefully, there for a relaunch of the whole game, is there sort of any indication when in H2 you might plan to do that? I would imagine at least after July and August as those are holiday periods, but please guide me if that's wrong.

A
Adam Kicinski
executive

Ken, I'll start with the first one. Adam, on this end. Nearly half of Cyberpunk team still continue working on Cyberpunk itself and Cyberpunk next-gen addition. Then we have teams working on unannounced things still, preparing works on to unannounced AAA lines, I would say. I'm not very precise because we don't want to preannounce anything, which is not announced yet. So I'm not referring directly to the question, but there are teams -- smaller teams in transformation, preparing works on future content. But I can just repeat what I've already said that next year is the year when we want to split teams and work full scale. Of course, depending on the project in the different phases on future AAA content.

K
Kenneth Rumph
analyst

Understood.

M
Michal Nowakowski
executive

All right. Regarding the second question, it's Michal Nowakowski again. The question was about the Xbox and the walling language on the product page. On the storefront, yes, there is a similar conversation happening with the Xbox team as well as the PlayStation one.

A
Adam Kicinski
executive

And the third, Adam, again, sorry, we can't comment on it. I mean, definitely after our promise to start any communication closer to releases, we don't want to say anything more about next-gen. This is more than second half of the year. Deliberately, of course, we have the date internally, but it's too early to say anything about this.

Operator

Our next question is from Vladimir Bespalov, VTB Capital.

V
Vladimir Bespalov
analyst

My first question will be on the trend in the second quarter. The first quarter was very special. The major patch was released only by the end of the quarter. Do you see any improvement in the sales trend at least on PCs for Cyberpunk in the second quarter? And on the cost side, again, with the major fixing taking place in the first quarter, do you see any improvement in terms of profitability or lower costs, which you incur in the second quarter? What should we expect from this perspective? And I also have a question on your capital allocation. Apart from dividends, how are you going to spend the cash pile that you have after you received a lot of cash in the first quarter? And maybe some update on the M&A pipeline?

P
Piotr Nielubowicz
executive

So I'll take the first and the second question. We are not guiding for future results, so I cannot give you too much into precise information. But definitely, each year, the most important part of the second quarter is the June and all the summer promos, and this is still in front of us. But looking broader at the situation, as I mentioned on the annual conference regarding the first quarter results, the general situation as long as we are not back on the Sony store has not changed. We -- one of the leading marketplaces for us is not available, and we generate most of the sales on the PC digital channels. Until the moment it changes, we will have more difficult situation than we would love to have. So that's the general comment on what may happen or what is happening over the second quarter. As far as the profitability is concerned, the size of the team involved in updating Cyberpunk is slowly decreasing. And also the research costs I mentioned in my part of the presentation, should also be smaller in the second quarter.

This is a natural process, and that's what we expect. But the total profitability of the company will depend on the proportion of sales less the fixed depreciation of Cyberpunk and all of our operating expenses. And that's something we will broadly discuss on our H1 results. As far as the capital allocation, the significant part of the capital we earned over last year will be paid via dividend. Then, as I mentioned, we still have some of the liabilities. In our balance sheet, there is a significant excess of liability -- of liabilities over receivables, and this is also to be included in our cash flow plans. Actually, part of that was already paid as the team bonuses, which we covered in May in the second quarter. And the rest is supposed to be capture of the company to finance our growth, future projects, their marketing plans and potentially some of the M&A transactions.

A
Adam Kicinski
executive

Which is actually the fourth question, Adam, understand. In terms of M&A, if there will be anything to announce, we'll announce it. I mean, that's the situation. Now we are finalizing the deal with our Vancouver studio and with Vancouver team. And if any further plans like this or of this kind will appear, we'll inform the market.

Operator

Our next question is from Matti Littunen from Bernstein.

M
Matti Littunen
analyst

The first question, thank you for giving us the breakdown on the product research development and service costs. Just based on this in your earlier comments, just to clarify, so there hasn't been any material development costs capitalized for any new project on anything resembling Cyberpunk's scale before Q1 this year? And the second question is on Spokko. So do you have any color to give on the sort of what the soft launch process has looked like? What types of countries have you done like, it's been Russia, Australia for monetization? And any color to give in terms of what the feedback so far has been?

P
Piotr Nielubowicz
executive

So I'll take the first one. Yes, the direct development expenditures during Q1 were smaller, as part of the team worked on updating Cyberpunk. And another part of the team was also involved in the research, so early works for subsequent projects that we have in the pipeline. Once we finish the research phase, which should come shortly, this will be qualified as development expenditures and will be capitalized.

A
Adam Kicinski
executive

I'll take the second one. Adam. So what we are doing, we are soft launching when tweaking not only the game itself, but some retention and monetization mechanism along with testing the game. And we are closer and closer to the final result. And we are happy with what we can see. But of course, before the game is launched in a full scale, we don't want to announce any internal data regarding how the soft launches were progressing. But the extensive phase of soft launches enables us to tweak many, many things. And we learned a lot, and this project is definitely driven by design, of course, as the first priority, but by statistics and data as well.

Operator

Our next question is from Ken Rumph, Jefferies.

K
Kenneth Rumph
analyst

Firstly, on the R&D that's being expensed on early-stage work. Is that a new thing? Or I assume we don't remember this from kind of back in the day when I guess you were working on Cyberpunk before Witcher 3 came out. So is this kind of a new approach or just something perhaps that wasn't significant or I don't remember from the past?

Secondly, can I ask just about how expansion work is expensed or capitalized? So expansions to Cyberpunk, which you've said, obviously, that you plan expansions in the future. And finally, on the discussions with Sony and with Xbox; firstly, does it potentially involve the next-gen version? Or is it simply a discussion about the old -- last gen, we should call it current gen, but the PS4 version? Or does it somehow involve kind of also satisfying them about next gen. And that probably you can answer, one, I'm not so optimistic about. Does it -- is it simply a technical discussion or does it involve financial and pricing issues for the game?

P
Piotr Nielubowicz
executive

I'll take the first 2 questions. As far as I remember, we had the same approach; however, back in the day, it was not significant. And regarding the expansions, I may say that currently, they are the expenditures and then are capitalized.

M
Michal Nowakowski
executive

Sorry. And this is Michal Nowakowski and the question about Sony and Xbox again. The question was whether it involves the next gens or on the current gens? Or is it just technical, but does it involve financial and pricing discussion? It's still -- it's very good and very little questions, but all that has to remain, of course, a discretion between the parties. If 20 years from now, I'm going to be writing memoirs, I'll promise to answer that. But for now, it really has to remain between PlayStation and us. And we'll have announcements share when they are ready. And of course, Xbox is the same situation.

Operator

Our last question is from Ali Naqvi from HSBC.

A
Ali Naqvi
analyst

I just had a couple of questions, please. Your expectations for Cyberpunk once it gets back to the PlayStation store. Do they diminish from your previous expectations? Or do you think that you'll have to invest in marketing to get back to where you had initially on launch? Second question, a bit of a reminder, have you impaired anything on the side of development or do you plan to revisit this once -- when you launch on back on the PS store or if that gets delayed? And finally, in terms of timing of the downloadable content for Cyberpunk, what's your sort of strategy in terms of how much content that is and sort of pricing? Is it all going to be free or paid for?

M
Michal Nowakowski
executive

This is Michal Nowakowski. Could you actually repeat the -- I didn't fully understand, to understand the Sony part, the marketing and -- sorry, could you repeat that?

A
Ali Naqvi
analyst

So when the -- when Cyberpunk launches back on the PlayStation store, what are your expectations for sales? Do they return back to what you had previously? Or would you have to invest in marketing to get back to that level?

M
Michal Nowakowski
executive

Okay. I mean, so I don't even think we're looking at it this way. I mean, of course, I mean, it's going to be improvement on sales when we're back on the PlayStation because the sales are currently none because we're just not in the store. So when we get back -- I mean, I'm assuming there will be some sales, of course. So that will be a positive information on its own. However, in terms of bringing it back to the previous level, that is a pretty tough question because the game left the store on the 18th of December, and we're right now -- well pretty much in June. It's May 31 right now. So honestly speaking, I mean, it would be unheard of to go back to the level of sales from the month of the launch, 6 months post. I mean, I think that's as much as I should go in the details here. But it would be unrealistic to assume that we're going to go back to the December level of sales with any kind of marketing really.

When it comes to marketing support of coming back to the PlayStation, I would not really expect when that happens, if that happens, and it's announced. We would probably run some sort of information campaign that, again, is available, but that's pretty much it. Nothing bombastic, so to say.

I'm sorry. And there's a next question -- there was a next question. Timing of downloaded content to CP? I'm assuming this is about the expansions, so the bigger ones. Expansions, when we were talking expansions what we meant was something similar to Blood and Wine or Hearts of Stone. So the bigger expansions for The Witcher. So these expansions for Cyberpunk would be definitely paid. They would not be for free. I hope that helps.

Operator

It appears there are no further questions at this time.

A
Adam Kicinski
executive

Thank you. So now we have a section to answer the questions asked on chat. So I'll read them, and then we'll answer.

The first two are from Konrad Krasuski, Bloomberg News. The first, how big is the percentage of employees or programmers still working on the improvement on Cyberpunk? And the second, and what are you seeing recently on employees churn?

So as I said, on Cyberpunk, there are still around 300 people. And in terms of churn, the year after release is a natural year of higher churn. So we don't see anything unexpected or surprising. That's the only thing I can say.

All right. The next question from Piotr Lopaciuk, PKO BP. Do you upsell significantly increased employee turnover after paying out of the annual bonuses?

We've just answered this question.

The next from [indiscernible]. How many large patches do you plan to release in the next 2, 3 months?

That's tricky because actually, our purchase -- some are larger, some are smaller. We got -- we used to call smaller one, hot fixes. It wasn't very fortunate because the nature of hot fix is different, the natural nature. So from now on, any update will be called patch. And if there will be any hot fixes, so fix is needed after the patch is deployed, then we call them hot fixes. And in terms of number, I don't want to preannounce things, which are not announced yet. We were prepared just to say that the next patch, not the biggest one, I mean, rather smaller will be launched in the next couple of weeks. It's almost ready.

But of course, we are working on the future purchase as well. And to add some color on it, the first series of patches were mostly focused on low-level technical areas, not only, of course, we are fixing glitches and bugs as well, but we're focused on stability, performance and so on. And because those things were, to our opinion, the most important. And then we'll be more and more into improving things without promising anything, but the course of action will change a bit. So we'll be more focused on pushing the perceived quality further.

The next question from Albert Rokicki, Longterm. What is the percentage of sales of CP 2077 through GOG.com?

Sorry, we can't share it. Actually, we never shared this kind of internal information. So we can't have any color on it.

The next from [indiscernible] Securities. Hello, could you comment on number of workers of CD PROJEKT and your targets for employment for the end of 2021 and 2022?

We have targets, but they are not revealed. So we are -- of course, we are in intensive hire processes. But we don't share any numbers what are our targets. I can just highlight that one of the areas we want definitely to grow is Vancouver as we have access to the wide pool of talent there. But of course, we'll keep hiring in Poland, bringing people to Poland from around the globe as well.

And that was all on our chart. Thank you very much and see you on Half -- the first half results in roughly 3 months. Bye-bye.
