Financial Results Briefing Session of Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2025 [17,284KB]

GungHo Online Entertainment’s FY 2025 financial briefing outlines a strategic pivot from Japan‑centric mobile development toward global expansion, emphasizing action titles on consoles and PCs. The company reports a 64.1 % overseas net‑sales ratio in FY 2025, up from 47.7 % in 2019 and 56.2 % in 2020, reflecting intensified sales in North America and Europe through new releases such as “Let It Die: Inferno” on PlayStation 5, Steam, and Nintendo Switch. The launch of nine global titles in 2025, including the “Ragnarok” series and “Puzzle & Dragons,” is highlighted as a key growth driver, with the latter celebrating its 5 000‑day anniversary and hosting cross‑platform events to boost user activity.

Financially, consolidated net sales fell by 1.3 % YoY to ¥125.3 billion, driven mainly by declines in mobile titles and “Ragnarok”‑related revenue under subsidiary Gravity. Operating profit contracted by 9.3 % YoY to ¥276 million, as SG&A expenses rose due to increased advertising spend and personnel costs following the full acquisition of Alim in December 2024. Non‑consolidated results remained flat, but mobile sales slipped and Gravity’s “Ragnarok” titles underperformed, contributing to the consolidated loss.

The briefing covers a global geographic scope—North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia—with a 2025 focus on launching titles in over 150 countries. Methodologically, data derive from consolidated financial statements and quarterly performance metrics, with a clear emphasis on aligning product development with international market demand.
