Com2uS and Gamevil Enjoy Success with Baseball Games in Q2

Com2uS Achieves Record Quarterly Revenue of 147.5 Billion KRW
Gamevil Posts Operating Profit of 10.8 Billion KRW, Turning Profitable Year-on-Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] Com2uS and Gamevil succeeded in improving their second-quarter performance thanks to steady-selling games and baseball games.

Com2uS announced on the 11th that its second-quarter sales reached a record high of 147.5 billion KRW on a quarterly basis, and operating profit was 38 billion KRW. This represents an increase of 18.8% in sales and 17.8% in operating profit compared to the same period last year. Com2uS showed solid performance based on the success of "Summoners War," which has established itself as a global game, and the growth of its baseball mobile game lineup. In April, Summoners War celebrated its 6th anniversary with large-scale updates and promotions both domestically and internationally. As a result, the number of new and returning users surged, causing the global app market sales ranking to rebound. In April, Summoners War's daily active users (DAU) reached the highest level in the past three years, and its May sales hit the highest point since December 2017. Additionally, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the opening of professional baseball games without spectators, baseball games such as "Com2uS Pro Baseball 2020" and "MLB 9 Innings 20" introduced various content aligned with the season, achieving a record high sales of about 10 billion KRW in April alone. Com2uS is accelerating the final development work aiming to release multiple new games in the second half of the year, including the highly anticipated mobile game "Summoners War: Hundred Years' War," which utilizes the Summoners War intellectual property (IP).

Gamevil recorded second-quarter sales of 40.5 billion KRW, a 43% increase compared to the same period last year, and operating profit of 10.8 billion KRW, turning to a profit from a loss the previous year. Although there were no new releases in the second quarter, the peak season effect of baseball games such as "Gamevil Pro Baseball 2020 Superstars" and "MLB Perfect Inning," as well as steady sales from existing steady-seller games like "Be the Star," contributed to the solid sales. Gamevil plans to launch Gamevil Pro Baseball 2020 Superstars in global markets including Japan later this month, aiming to expand its presence in the global market.
