❝ Q1 revenue is expected to reach ₩1.255 trillion (+44% YoY) and operating profit ₩462 billion (+1% YoY), exceeding consensus estimates (₩1.2 trillion revenue, ₩408 billion operating profit) by 5% and 13%, respectively, as the mobile sector shows signs of recovery. The mobile sector, which struggled with a 19% YoY decline in Q4, is expected to grow by 12% YoY. This sharp recovery is driven by strong sales of 'Game for Peace' in China. While sales were sluggish in Q4 due to a temporary pause in paid promotions, traffic remained robust. Since promotions normalized in January, users have shown explosive spending. The PUBG PC sector is also expected to continue its growth despite a high base effect from the previous year. ❞
