Neptune reported its 2025 consolidated revenue of 121.3 billion KRW and an operating profit of 2.41 billion KRW on the 22nd. This result was driven by growth in its ad-tech business and other revenue segments despite a challenging market environment. The company announced plans to focus on entering the Indian ad-tech market and expanding its hybrid casual game business starting in 2026, with a total of 16 new titles scheduled for release sequentially in the first half of the year through its subsidiaries.

The ad-tech division saw revenue increase by 3.1% year-on-year, with ad transaction volume reaching 58.64 billion KRW, a 2.2% increase. AdX and AdPie maintained stable revenue sources, showing moderate growth. The 'other' revenue segment, which includes the corporate chat solution 'Qlat' and UA marketing business 'Remake', generated 8.1 billion KRW in revenue, a 16.2% increase year-on-year. Notably, Qlat secured six major partners last year and is preparing to supply its solution to a financial firm within this month.

In the gaming sector, subsidiary Tripla focused on the hybrid casual game genre, centered on its existing cat-themed series, to strengthen its revenue competitiveness. Tripla's cumulative revenue reached 52.2 billion KRW, a 3.1% increase year-on-year, and operating profit rose by 6.3% to 6.37 billion KRW. While Nimble Neuron's Eternal Return underperformed relative to expectations in the Chinese market, it showed a positive rebound in the domestic market following its Guilty Gear collaboration. The game plans to continue this momentum through additional collaborations scheduled for the first half of 2026.

Neptune plans to concentrate its capabilities on entering the Indian ad-tech market and the hybrid casual game business starting in 2026. By leveraging the local assets of its parent company, Krafton, in India, Neptune aims to penetrate the Indian ad-tech market, with plans to finalize the establishment of an Indian subsidiary in the first half of the year and apply it to major games in the second half. Additionally, to expand its hybrid casual game business, which is a core strength, it will hold a global open call contest in partnership with Krafton starting in March. The company is strengthening both its internal development and publishing capabilities to expand the hybrid casual game business, which combines in-app purchase and in-app advertising revenue models.

Meanwhile, in the first half of 2026, Neptune will sequentially release a total of 16 new titles through its major development subsidiaries, including Playhard, Tripla, and Phantom, consisting of 7 hybrid casual games and 9 games of other genres. Playhard will unveil three new titles in the first half, while Tripla plans to aggressively introduce more than five new titles, including games based on its cat IP and new genres. Phantom is preparing to launch the casual RPG 'Lucky Day' through global publisher Habby, and Encroki, EK Games, and Prettybusy will also release their new lineups in the first half. Nimble Neuron's Eternal Return will continue service operations and content updates while preparing for new seasons and additional collaborations.

Kang Yul-bin, CEO of Neptune, stated, "2025 was a year that fell short of plans due to the integration process following the change of the largest shareholder to Krafton and adjustments to some new game release schedules." He explained that the company focused on establishing a mid-to-long-term growth strategy through close communication with Krafton. CEO Kang added, "In 2026, we will step-by-step pursue entry into the Indian ad-tech market and the hybrid casual game publishing business, ultimately laying the foundation for mid-to-long-term growth as a full-stack ad-tech company."
