- The year-over-year declines in key operating metrics were primarily due to the natural lifecycle progression of several legacy titles that have entered a mature stage. In response, the Company strategically reduced user acquisition spending for these mature games, which led to a decrease in both active users and paying users. Monetization efficiency also declined, leading to lower average revenue per user and reduced payment conversion rates.
- The decrease in user retention remained within normal fluctuation ranges and was mainly attributable to a lower allocation of marketing budget toward acquiring high-value users.
- To mitigate these trends, the Company is actively collaborating with development partners to introduce new monetization initiatives and enhance operational content aimed at improving monetization performance across its existing portfolio.
- In addition, several new titles are undergoing testing and optimization, with broader promotional efforts planned upon their full launch to help restore the Company's user scale.
Mr. Feng Xie, the Company's founder, Director and Chairman, commented: "We are pleased to report our earnings results for the first time as a public company and would like to express our sincere gratitude to the investors who have supported us throughout this journey. During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, as our legacy game titles continue to contribute revenue, we have begun to explore multiple business models such as "Game Architecture Model", and are looking for potential in-depth cooperation opportunities. Our results in the first nine months of fiscal 2025 reflect the challenges we faced in the process of seeking long-term, high-quality and sustainable development. Looking ahead, we are confident in our ability to create sustained shareholder value by combining disciplined execution with product-led growth, while broadening our presence in both established and high-growth international markets."
First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results
Revenue
Total revenue was US$87.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, a decrease of 23.1% from US$113.6 million in the same period of last fiscal year.
- In-app purchases decreased by 23.8% year over year to US$78.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025 from US$103.0 million in the same period of last fiscal year, mainly driven by a strategic reduction in user acquisition spending. As the Company adjusted its marketing approach in response to evolving platform dynamics and competitive market conditions throughout the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, the Company's advertising costs decreased by 19.7% year over year during the period. Additionally, as generative AI and other emerging technologies reshape the mobile gaming landscape, the Company is working closely with development partners to integrate these innovations into game design and monetization strategies. As part of this transition, the Company also deferred large-scale marketing campaigns for selected titles to better align with long-term product and profitability goals.
- Advertising revenue was US$8.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, compared to US$10.6 million in the same period of last fiscal year. The reduction in the Company's advertising investment during the period impacted overall traffic and exposure levels, which in turn affected advertising monetization performance. Despite this, the Company successfully mitigated the extent of the revenue decline by rolling out new in-game content and features that helped sustain player engagement and retention. These efforts supported continued monetization opportunities within the existing user base and reflect the Company's focus on operational efficiency and product-driven growth amid shifting market dynamics.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Total operating costs and expenses totaled US$85.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, a reduction of 20.6% from US$107.5 million in the same period of last fiscal year.
- Cost of revenue decreased by 25.1% year over year to US$41.4 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2025 from US$55.2 million in the same period of last fiscal year, reflecting lower platform fees, reduced profit-sharing payments to game developers, and a decline in customized design fees.
- Research and development expenses were US$4.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, an increase of 13.8% year over year from US$3.7 million in the same period of last fiscal year. The increase was mainly attributable to the Company's strategic collaboration with several game developers during the early stages of game development.
- Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 19.7% year over year to US$36.6 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2025 from US$45.6 million in the same period of last fiscal year, primarily due to a US$8.6 million reduction in advertising costs related to player acquisition and retention. This decrease reflects the Company's strategic decision to scale back promotional spending in response to volatile ad placement performance across major platforms, as well as to optimize marketing efficiency for mature titles.
- General and administrative expenses were US$3.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, an increase of 7.0% year over year from US$2.9 million in the same period of last fiscal year, primarily driven by higher salary expenses, professional service fees, and travel costs. These increases were largely associated with activities supporting the Company's public listing preparation, including enhancements to corporate governance, financial reporting, and investor relations functions.
Operating Income
Operating income was US$2.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, compared to US$6.1 million in the same period of last fiscal year. Operating margin was 2.3% during the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, compared to 5.4% in the same period of last fiscal year.
Other Income (Expenses), Net
Other income (expenses), net, which mainly included the Company's non-operating income and expenses, interest income and expenses, investment income, and other income and expenses, was US$0.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, compared to US$0.2 million in the same period of last fiscal year.
Net Income
Net income was US$2.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, compared to US$6.0 million in the same period of last fiscal year. Net income per ordinary share was US$0.04 for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, compared to US$0.11 in the same period of last fiscal year.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents were US$15.7 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to US$18.8 million as of June 30, 2024, which the Company believes is sufficient to meet its current liquidity and working capital needs.
Net Cash Generated From Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was US$0.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, compared with US$3.7 million in the same period of last fiscal year.
Business Outlook
For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 ending June 30, 2025, the Company expects its total revenue to be in the range of approximately US$27.5 million to US$30 million. This forecast reflects the Company's current and preliminary view of its expected financial performance for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 and is subject to change.
