MAY 7, 2026 – Netmarble Corp., a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2026. The company reported $444.97 million in revenue and $57.29 million in EBITDA, globally. The operating profit and the net profit were reported at $36.22 million and $144.02 million, respectively. 

“While the timing of major new releases late in the first quarter resulted in a limited revenue contribution, Netmarble’s business fundamentals remained firm, delivering year-over-year growth in both revenue and operating profit,” said Byung-gyu Kim, CEO of Netmarble. “Driven by a diversified portfolio with 79% of total revenue generated in global markets, we expect accelerated top-line growth and margin expansion starting in the second quarter as the performance of new titles is fully reflected.” He added, “With a robust pipeline of anticipated titles across diverse genres and global IPs, we will focus on delivering competitive games and securing sustainable growth worldwide.”

Upcoming releases for the second quarter of 2026 include the expansion of Game of Thrones: Kingsroad in Asia, following its initial Western launch in May last year, as well as the upcoming launch of SOL: enchant in Korea. Netmarble is also preparing to release additional titles in the second half of the year, including Solo Leveling: KARMA, Shangri-La Frontier: The Seven Colossi, PROJECT OCTOPUS, EVILBANE and PROJECT AEGIS.

Netmarble’s Q1 2026 financial results include: 

• By region, North America led revenues (41%), followed by Korea (21%), Europe (13%), Southeast Asia (12%), Japan (7%), and other regions (6%). 
• Netmarble’s portfolio remained well diversified across genres in the fourth quarter, with Casual Games accounting for 40%, RPG titles 37%, MMORPGs 16%, and other genres 7% of total revenue.
• Top performing titles for Q1 2026 included:  Jackpot World (8%), Lotsa Slots (8%), MARVEL Contest of Champions (8%), Cash Frenzy (8%), Seven Knights Re:BIRTH (7%), VAMPIR (6%), The Seven Deadly Sins: GRAND CROSS (5%), Solo Leveling:ARISE (4%), RF ONLINE NEXT (4%), The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin (3%), StoneAge: Idle Adventure (3%) and Raven2 (3%).
• EBITDA saw a slight year-over-year increase driven by new title launches such as StoneAge Idle Adventure and The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, but declined quarter-over-quarter as these titles were released toward the end of the quarter, limiting their revenue contribution within the period.
• Net profit significantly increased year-over-year, primarily due to gains from asset disposals reflected during the quarter.
