Overview

Jam City builds and publishes mobile games, including owned franchises Cookie Jam and Panda Pop and licensed titles such as Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery and a Frozen 2 game. The company has new agreements with Disney to develop mobile games across Pixar, Marvel and traditional Disney characters, and holds acquired Fox Studio assets like Family Guy. Jam City says Hogwarts Mystery became its fastest title to reach $100 million in revenue, and the company reported strong recent growth. Management is pursuing a roll-up strategy and has expanded through strategic acquisitions to grow teams in Toronto and Bogotá. The studio is positioning itself to consolidate in a global mobile games market that is rapidly growing and capturing larger share of entertainment industry revenue. The company has been discussed as a potential IPO candidate in prior speculation.
