Daewon Media announced on the 14th that its consolidated revenue for Q1 2026 reached 102.52 billion KRW, a 74.6% increase compared to the same period last year. During the same period, consolidated operating profit rose by 62.4% to 1.94 billion KRW, and consolidated net profit surged by 1,313.3% to 1.27 billion KRW. In Q1 of last year, the company recorded 58.693 billion KRW in consolidated revenue, 1.199 billion KRW in operating profit, and 90 million KRW in net profit.

The company attributed this growth to sustained market interest in Nintendo's next-gen console, the Nintendo Switch 2, and the release of the popular title Pokopia. Additionally, the company explained that it increased revenue by balancing B2B distribution with B2C direct retail operations in the rapidly growing market for random figures and capsule toys.

Cho Hyung-in, CFO of Daewon Media, stated, "With price hikes expected for both the Nintendo Switch 2 and existing hardware, we are seeing increased demand from consumers looking to purchase products in advance." He added, "We expect the distribution business to significantly outperform initial forecasts in Q2." He further noted, "We also anticipate long-term growth in our exhibition content division, as the Studio Ghibli exhibition, which we have been preparing for three years, is scheduled to be held in Q3."

Meanwhile, the company also showed growth in its standalone performance. Daewon Media recorded 80.918 billion KRW in standalone revenue for Q1 2026, a 105.5% increase year-on-year. Standalone operating profit rose by 119.2% to 2.175 billion KRW, and standalone net profit increased by 53.2% to 1.143 billion KRW.
