Gungho Online Entertainment ( (JP:3765) ) has issued an update.

GungHo Online Entertainment reported a sharp deterioration in results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, with net sales falling 10% to ¥93.2 billion and operating income plunging 71.1%. Ordinary income dropped 66.1% and profit attributable to owners of the parent fell 87.4%, pushing return on equity down to 1.1% and compressing profitability across key metrics.

Total assets and net assets declined slightly, while cash and cash equivalents at year-end more than halved to ¥31.0 billion amid sizable investing and financing outflows. Despite weaker earnings, the company plans to raise its year-end dividend from ¥60 to a forecast ¥90 per share, significantly lifting the dividend payout ratio and reinforcing its shareholder return stance even as it withholds full-year 2026 earnings guidance due to volatility in its content business.
