The company reported consolidated revenue of KRW 162.0 billion, representing a 0.9% year-over-year increase and a 4.0% quarter-over-quarter growth. Operating income reached KRW 54.8 billion, with an operating margin of 34%, reflecting a slight decline compared to the previous year as the company increased investment in marketing and operational costs to support new business initiatives.

Key growth drivers include the iGaming division, specifically SuprNation, which saw a 73% year-over-year revenue increase, and Paxie Games, which experienced a 346% surge in payments, largely attributed to the success of the title Merge Studio. The company is actively pursuing a strategy of diversification through cross-border mergers and acquisitions, with M&A-related revenue now accounting for 75% of total consolidated revenue. Additionally, the company is expanding its direct-to-consumer (DTC) platform, which grew to 10.4% of social casino revenue, bolstered by favorable changes in external payment policies.

The company’s strategic focus for the remainder of the year involves scaling its hybrid-casual game portfolio, with plans for over 15 soft launches. By leveraging expertise from Paxie Games and targeting global mobile trends, the company aims to balance revenue streams between in-app purchases and advertising. The financial results indicate a stable balance sheet with total assets of KRW 1,745.1 billion, supporting ongoing efforts to diversify genres and expand into new regional markets while maintaining operational efficiency.
