Playtika Holding Corporation has announced it will form a Special Committee of the Board of Directors to conduct a “comprehensive” strategic review and evaluate alternatives to “unlock and enhance” shareholder value.
The Special Committee will be made up entirely of Independent Directors as Playtika is also set to bring on Morgan Stanley to act as a financial advisor of the strategic review.
Playtika also stated there is “no assurance” as to whether the evaluation and review process will result in “any strategic transaction,” and confirmed it will not release developments until the Special Committee has approved a course of action.
Factors listed for what could cause results of the process to differ materially from projections include Playtika’s “inability to consummate any potential transaction” due to market dynamics, regulatory issues or contractual restrictions and “potential adverse effects” on Playtika’s stock.
There are also potential “risks” involving Playtika’s international operations and ownership, such as its “significant” business in Israel and Ukraine, as well as the operator’s controlling shareholder being a Chinese-owned company.
Playtika published its financial and business results for the third quarter of 2025 on November 6, managing to generate $674.6m in revenue which equates to an 8.7% increase from the prior year period.
Despite revenue falling 3.1% as compared to Q2 2025, adjusted net income during the third quarter reached $65.8m for Playtika, an increase of 912.3% sequentially and 16.3% year-over-year.
Playtika maintained that the Special Committee may also decide not to recommend any strategic transaction or change following the review process.
