Netmarble's Profit Declines; Plans New Game Launches for 2025

Netmarble has announced disappointing financial results for the third quarter of 2026, with consolidated sales reaching 634.7 billion won, a decrease of 8.8% compared to the same period last year. Operating profit also saw a sharp decline of 44.6%, totaling 50.4 billion won.

The company's net profit fell by 45.3% to 22.2 billion won, reflecting a challenging market environment. Additionally, EBITDA for the quarter was reported at 80.0 billion won, down 34.6% year-on-year.

In response to these declines, Netmarble is planning to launch over 13 new titles in 2025, including anticipated games such as "Shangri-La Frontier: Seven Supremes" and "Solo Leveling: Karma." The company aims to strengthen its existing titles and enhance the quality of new releases.

CEO Kim Byung-gyu emphasized the importance of improving profitability through strategic updates and efficient management of expenses. He stated, "We are focusing on strengthening the fundamentals of existing titles and improving the completeness of new ones."

Despite the challenges, Netmarble remains committed to building a foundation for future growth and expanding its service regions, particularly in China.
