Interim Report 2022
During the first half of 2022, IGG faced a challenging financial period characterized by a 23% year-on-year revenue decline to HK$2.49 billion. This downturn was primarily driven by the natural maturity of the company’s flagship title, *Lords Mobile*, and compounded by significant investment losses totaling HK$114 million. Consequently, the company recorded a net loss of HK$172 million, a sharp reversal from the profit of HK$577 million reported in the same period of 2021. In response to these pressures, the Board opted not to declare an interim dividend, prioritizing resource optimization and long-term strategic investments. Operational adjustments included an 11% reduction in total headcount and a strategic pivot toward increased research and development, which saw a 48% rise in spending to HK$738 million. While core game operations returned to profitability by the second quarter, the company continues to navigate a transition phase, marked by significant capital commitments such as the construction of a new office facility in Fuzhou. The company maintains a diversified investment portfolio, holding material stakes in private equity funds like MFund and Griffin Gaming Partners to support its long-term focus on the global mobile gaming sector. Corporate governance remains centered on a leadership structure where the chairman and CEO roles are unified, a deviation from standard codes that the company justifies through existing internal checks and balances. Furthermore, IGG continues to utilize structured contracts to operate within the People’s Republic of China, ensuring compliance with foreign investment restrictions. Although these entities represent a small portion of total revenue, the company acknowledges the inherent regulatory uncertainty of this model. Moving forward, the organization intends to leverage its R&D investments to launch innovative titles, aiming to stabilize performance despite expectations of continued net losses through the remainder of 2022.

2020 Interim Report
IGG Inc. demonstrated a robust financial performance during the first half of 2020, characterized by a strategic pivot toward profitability and capital efficiency despite a 12% year-on-year revenue decline to US$312.3 million. This revenue contraction, largely attributed to the natural lifecycle of legacy gaming titles, was offset by a significant 88% surge in net profit to US$132.8 million. This growth was fueled by disciplined cost management across advertising and research and development, alongside substantial gains from strategic equity investments, most notably in XD Inc. The company maintained a strong liquidity position throughout the period, ending June 30, 2020, with US$339.9 million in cash and no bank borrowings. This financial stability enabled the firm to return value to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases totaling US$93.8 million. Total equity grew to US$462.7 million, bolstered by a US$54.3 million increase in the fair value of investments. These results reflect a broader corporate strategy of diversifying beyond core gaming into utility applications and complementary industry investments, while maintaining rigorous oversight of share-based incentive schemes and corporate governance structures. Operational presence within the People’s Republic of China remains managed through structured contracts, which allow for the consolidation of Fuzhou Tianmeng’s financial results. While these arrangements accounted for a minor portion of total revenue and assets, the company acknowledges the regulatory risks associated with evolving foreign investment laws. To mitigate potential disruptions, the firm maintains a contingency strategy involving alternative domestic publishing partnerships. Overall, the period was defined by successful capital allocation and a transition toward a more diversified, profit-oriented business model that prioritizes long-term shareholder value and operational resilience in the global gaming market.

Third Quarterly Report 2014
IGG Inc. experienced a period of robust financial expansion during the first nine months of 2014, characterized by a 180.9% year-over-year revenue increase to $144.1 million. This performance represents a significant fiscal turnaround, shifting from a $2.7 million loss in the previous year to a profit of $51.3 million. The primary catalyst for this growth is the company’s successful transition toward mobile gaming, with titles such as Castle Clash and Clash of Lords now accounting for 87% of total revenue. While gross profit margins experienced a marginal contraction to 71.8% due to rising channel costs, the company remains focused on global market penetration, portfolio diversification, and the monetization of its proprietary social platform, Link. Corporate governance and internal restructuring remained central to operations throughout this period. The company maintained strict compliance with securities transaction codes and formalized an act-in-concert agreement among its primary controlling shareholders. Strategic human capital management was evidenced by the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer and the continued consolidation of the Chairman and CEO roles under Mr. Zongjian Cai. Furthermore, the company actively utilized share-based incentive programs, granting over 10 million options and more than 2.4 million awarded shares to align the interests of management and employees with long-term corporate performance. The company’s operational scope remains international, supported by a diversified tax profile across its global subsidiaries. By successfully converting preferred shares and executing open-market share purchases to support its award schemes, the organization has strengthened its capital structure. Moving forward, the strategic emphasis remains on sustaining mobile-first growth while navigating the competitive landscape of the global digital entertainment industry through continued investment in both product development and platform infrastructure.

Total revenue reached US$44.1 million, representing a 206.3% year-over-year increase. This growth was primarily fueled by the mobile gaming segment, which accounted for 79.3% of total revenue, largely due to the widespread success of the title Castle Clash.

The company maintained a robust international footprint as of March 31, 2014, serving 14.5 million monthly active users across 180 countries.

These efforts underscore a commitment to scaling global operations while diversifying the company’s technical infrastructure. Corporate governance and internal management remained central to the company’s operations, characterized by a structured shareholding arrangement and the implementation of long-term incentive programs. Specifically, the company utilized Pre-IPO and post-listing share option schemes, granting 3.7 million options and 1.56 million awarded shares to employees and directors with four-year vesting schedules. While the company adheres to standard governance protocols, it maintains a combined Chairman and CEO role, which the board justifies as a necessary measure for effective strategic management. No dividends were declared for the period, as the company prioritized reinvestment and the allocation of capital toward share purchase schemes to support its ongoing growth trajectory.
