No surprise here: Supercell, the company behind the hit games Clash of Clans and Hay Day, saw some big money in 2013.
Cash of Clans: Supercell Reports Huge Revenue Jump in 2013
$892 million in 2013.


The Finnish mobile game studio’s revenue increased nearly ninefold year over year, from $101 million in 2012 to $892 million in 2013. EBITDA climbed from $51 million to $464 million last year.
The company was founded in June 2010 in Helsinki, Finland. Last October, China’s SoftBank and GungHo — maker of the hit Japanese mobile title Puzzle & Dragons — invested $1.53 billion in Supercell to acquire 51 percent of the company. That acquisition pushed gaming M&A value for the year to $5.6 billion total.
Being the maker of two hot mobile games has earned the company some recent unwanted attention. On Monday, a Syrian hacker allegedly broke into Supercell’s administrative panel via a compromised email address. The hacker then shared screenshots indicating that, on one day this month alone, the company may have grossed at least $5.15 million.
Supercell also used its financials to confirm that its third mobile game, Boom Beach, would officially launch in March. The game has been in soft-launch for testing in Canada and Australia since late last year.
