REVIEW OF SECOND QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenues

Online game revenues for the second quarter of 2026 were KRW 29,660 million (US$ 19,151 thousand), representing a 14.5% increase QoQ from KRW 25,906 million and a 35.0% increase YoY from KRW 21,971 million. The increase QoQ was mainly attributable to increased revenues from Ragnarok Online in Thailand and Ragnarok Online America Latina in Latin America. This increase was partially offset by decreased revenue from Ragnarok Online in Japan. The increase YoY was mainly due to increased revenues from Ragnarok Online in Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. This increase was partially offset by decreased revenue from Ragnarok Online America Latina in Latin America.

Mobile game revenues were KRW 128,611 million (US$ 83,040 thousand) for the second quarter of 2026, representing a 3.2% decrease QoQ from KRW 132,800 million and a 10.7% decrease YoY from KRW 144,003 million. The decrease QoQ was resulted by decreased revenues from Ragnarok: The New World in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, Ragnarok: Twilight in Southeast Asia and Ragnarok M: Classic in Southeast Asia. Such decrease was partially offset by increased revenue from Ragnarok Origin Classic in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia. The decrease YoY was mainly due to decreased revenues from Ragnarok M: Classic in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia, Ragnarok Idle Adventure Plus and Ragnarok Origin. This decrease was partially offset by initial revenues from Ragnarok: The New World launched in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau on January 15, 2026 and Ragnarok Origin Classic launched in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia on March 26, 2026.

Other revenues were KRW 3,613 million (US$ 2,333 thousand) for the second quarter of 2026, representing a 13.9% increase QoQ from KRW 3,172 million and a 24.2% decrease YoY from KRW 4,766 million.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue was KRW 109,541 million (US$ 70,727 thousand) for the second quarter of 2026, representing a 0.6% decrease QoQ from KRW 110,224 million and a 3.9% decrease YoY from KRW 114,006 million. The decrease QoQ was mainly due to decreased salaries. The decrease YoY was primarily due to decreased commissions paid for mobile game services related to Ragnarok M: Classic in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia, and outsourcing fee.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were KRW 24,761 million (US$ 15,987 thousand) for the second quarter of 2026, representing an 18.9% increase QoQ from KRW 20,824 million and a 33.2% decrease YoY from KRW 37,064 million. The increase QoQ was mainly due to increased research and development expenses and salariesThe decrease YoY was mainly due to decreased advertising expenses for Ragnarok Idle Adventure Plus in Taiwan and Southeast Asia, Ragnarok Online America Latina in Latin America, Nobunaga's Ambition: The Road to the World in Japan and Ragnarok: Back to Glory in Korea.

Profit Before Income Tax Expense

Profit before income tax expense was KRW 32,470 million (US$ 20,966 thousand) for the second quarter of 2026 compared with profit before income tax expense of KRW 38,325 million for the first quarter of 2026 and profit before income tax expense
