Consolidated Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026

Nexon achieved robust financial performance during the first half of 2026, characterized by a 17.4% year-over-year revenue increase to ¥273,310 million and a substantial 101.9% surge in profit attributable to owners of the parent, totaling ¥86,864 million. This growth trajectory was primarily fueled by the successful global launch of ARC Raiders and record-breaking quarterly contributions from the long-standing MapleStory franchise. Operating profit reached ¥89,447 million, supported by a strong cash position of ¥546,102 million and a healthy equity ratio of 79.4%, which underscores the company’s overall financial stability.

Geographically, the company experienced a strategic shift in its market performance. While traditional strongholds in Korea and China saw declines, significant growth in North American and European markets offset these losses. The formal inclusion of Europe as a distinct reportable segment highlights the increasing importance of Western markets to the company’s global footprint. This geographic diversification, combined with disciplined capital management—including the planned cancellation of 13.24 million treasury shares to enhance shareholder value—reflects a broader effort to optimize capital efficiency.

Looking ahead to the remainder of 2026, the company maintains a positive outlook, projecting continued revenue growth through the third quarter. While management anticipates rising marketing and operational expenses as they scale new titles and sustain existing franchises, the current momentum suggests a resilient path forward. By balancing aggressive investment in new content with a commitment to dividend growth and share buybacks, the company remains focused on sustaining long-term profitability across its global operations.
