Q4 2025 earnings summary12 Feb, 2026

Executive summary

  • Achieved record full-year revenue of ¥475.5 billion in 2025, up 6–6.5% year-over-year, driven by strong core franchises and successful new titles including ARC Raiders, MapleStory: Idle RPG, and MABINOGI MOBILE.

  • ARC Raiders sold over 14 million units since launch, becoming the most successful new product and validating global blockbuster potential.

  • MapleStory: Idle RPG reached #1 in multiple Asian markets, contributed significantly to revenue, but faced a coding error that led to a full refund offer and process reforms.

  • Entered 2026 with a diversified, globally competitive portfolio and strong engagement across established and new IPs.

  • Key franchises like Dungeon & Fighter and MapleStory showed mixed results, with MapleStory revenue increasing and Dungeon & Fighter franchise revenue declining due to mobile segment weakness.

Financial highlights

  • Full-year revenue was ¥475.5 billion (up 6–6.5% year-over-year); operating income flat at ¥124.0 billion; net income down 31.7–32% to ¥92.1 billion.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
