Team17 Group PLC - Nottingham, England-based video game development company and publisher of educational entertainment apps for children - Reports strong trading in the second half of 2022, with multiple new first and third-party games released. Also notes extended games distribution to "wider platforms" and "strong support" across its portfolios with additional new content updates. As a result, expects full-year revenue and adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation to be significantly ahead of market expectations, which it does not specify.
