Annual Results Announcement: 2025

IGG’s 2025 annual results demonstrate a period of financial stabilization and strategic portfolio diversification. Despite a 4% year-on-year revenue decline to HK$5.5 billion, the company maintained a resilient net profit of approximately HK$590 million. This performance was underpinned by the enduring success of its flagship title, Lords Mobile, alongside growth in mid-generation games like Doomsday: Last Survivors and Viking Rise. Furthermore, the company successfully expanded its non-gaming APP business, which contributed HK$1.06 billion in revenue and reached 67 million monthly active users, effectively balancing the revenue mix.

The company maintains a robust financial position, ending the year with HK$2.41 billion in cash and cash equivalents. This liquidity supported a significant increase in shareholder returns, with total dividends and share repurchases amounting to 152% of the annual profit. Operational efficiency was bolstered by the integration of AI across research, development, and marketing, while the company’s light-asset model ensured minimal exposure to climate-related financial risks. Governance remains a priority, with the board maintaining strict oversight through specialized committees and a commitment to transparency, despite the combined role of chairman and CEO.

Geographically, the company continues to focus on its core markets in Asia and Europe. While it utilizes structured contracts to navigate foreign ownership restrictions in the PRC, these entities represent a small fraction of total revenue and assets. Looking forward, the company remains committed to its long-term growth strategy, supported by a disciplined approach to capital management, continued investment in talent through share-based incentive schemes, and a rigorous focus on regulatory compliance and data security across its global operations.
