Consolidated Financial Results for the 1st Quarter of FY 2026 Supplementary Material

Strong performance from Gravityʼs ʻRagnarokʼ related titles propelled consolidated results. Both sales and operating profit increased

QoQ and YoY.



■Summary of quarter consolidated result



【Net Sales】

In the 1st quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, "Puzzle & Dragons" celebrated its 14th launch anniversary on February 20, 2026, and we have continued working to maintain and increase MAU (Monthly Active User: the number of users who log into the game at least once a month) and strengthen the game's brand in order to maximize its existing value. Sales remained strong as we continued to hold a variety of events such as original events each season, anniversary events, and collaborations with famous characters from other companies.

In addition, "Ragnarok" related titles, which subsidiary Gravity Co., Ltd. and its consolidated subsidiaries are operating, have continued to contribute significantly to the consolidated financial results with rolling out global services of new titles, such as the launch of "Ragnarok: The New World" on January 15, 2026 in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau and "Ragnarok Origin Classic" on March 26, 2026 in South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asia.

As a result, net sales for the 1st quarter of the year were 26,594 million yen (an increase of 6,948 million yen quarter on quarter).

【Gross profit】

Consolidated gross profit for the 1st quarter was JPY 11,889 million (an increase of JPY3,435 million quarter on quarter) due to the higher net sales. The gross profit margin was 44.7% (increased by 1.7% quarter on quarter).

【Operating profit】

[Salary and allowances]

As of at the end of the 1st quarter of the year, the number of GungHo non-consolidated employees was 457 (an increase of 15 year on year and decrease of 2 quarter on quarter), and the number of consolidated

employees was 1,609 (an increase of 17 year on year and decrease of 5 quarter on quarter). For the 1st quarter, the salary and allowances were JPY 1,810 million (a decrease of JPY 707 million quarter on quarter). This is because there was no bonus payments made unlike in the previous quarter.

[Advertising expenses]

During the first quarter, GungHo conducted promotional activities for existing titles, including "Puzzule & Dragons." In Gravity, advertising expenses for Ragnarok-related titles-including newly released ones-remained at a low level. As a result, advertising expenses for the first quarter totaled JPY 1,741 million yen (a decrease of JPY 598 million yen compared to the previous quarter).

As a result, the operating profit for the 1st quarter of this year was JPY 3,693 million (an increase of JPY 4,504 million quarter on quarter). The operating profit margin was 13.9%.

    In the 1st quarter, we have been making comprehensive efforts with the aim of having a greater number of users enjoy our games, such as adding new content, collaboration with famous characters from other companies and TV anime broadcasts. Due to strategic operations and event implementation, "P&D" performed solidly and largely in line with expectations, while "RAGNAROK ONLINE" saw strong performance from January to February due to the campaign.
