While NeoPle, a key subsidiary of Nexon, maintained revenue in the trillion-won range in 2025, it experienced negative growth, with revenue falling by more than 20% compared to the previous year.

According to NeoPle's audit report released on the 10th, the company recorded ₩1.07 trillion in revenue, ₩734.7 billion in operating profit, and ₩521.4 billion in net income for 2025. As revenue declined by approximately 22%, operating profit and net income also saw sharp drops of 25% and 34%, respectively, compared to the previous year.

This is primarily attributed to the stabilization of revenue from live services based on the 'Dungeon & Fighter' IP, combined with the fact that the new title 'The First Berserker: Khazan' did not generate enough impact to offset the decline in existing works.

Although profitability decreased, investment in human capital expanded. In 2025, NeoPle spent ₩13.3 billion on employee salaries within its SG&A expenses, a 25% increase from the previous year (₩10.6 billion). Conversely, R&D expenses fell by approximately 18%, from ₩57.5 billion to ₩47 billion, suggesting a strategy of streamlining new development costs while prioritizing compensation for core personnel.

Despite the apparent decline in earnings, the company's actual cash-generating ability has strengthened. Operating cash flow in 2025 surged by 57.4% to ₩929.4 billion, up from ₩590.4 billion the previous year. In effect, the actual cash inflow grew much more sharply than the book profit.

Leveraging its abundant cash reserves, NeoPle continued its 'generous' shareholder return policy. Dividends paid during the period reached ₩684 billion, an increase of approximately ₩213 billion from the previous year. The company is being credited with successfully fulfilling its role as a reliable cash cow for its parent company, despite the decline in performance.

Meanwhile, NeoPle recently carried out a large-scale reassignment of personnel from 'The First Berserker: Khazan' development team, accelerating organizational efficiency and preparations for future projects.
