❝ We expect 1Q26 earnings to slightly exceed consensus, with revenue of ₩541.3 billion and an operating profit of ₩105.7 billion. Revenue for Lineage (including Classic) is projected at ₩72.1 billion. While actual payments are expected to be significantly higher at ₩113.3 billion, accounting revenue will fall well below payments due to the sale of 3-month subscription passes. Aion 2 revenue is expected to reach ₩132.5 billion; despite month-over-month declines in February and March, it is expected to exceed expectations due to the reflection of deferred payments from the previous quarter. Costs will increase due to the consolidation of casual game companies Rihuhu/Spring in 1Q and the distribution of 210,000 treasury shares. We project marketing expenses of ₩40.1 billion (YoY +200%) and labor costs of ₩222.5 billion (YoY +20%).❞
