Angry Birds has generated hundreds of millions of downloads for Finnish mobilegames firm Rovio Entertainment, but the company's financial results for 2011 reveal just how lucrative the franchise was that year. The company has reported total revenues of €75.4 million (£60.8 million) for 2011, with earnings before tax of €48 million (£38.7 million). Thirty percent of Rovio's revenues for the year came from its consumer products business, which includes merchandising and licensing income.
