Revenues for 2020 were KRW 228,996 million (US$ 210,841 thousand), representing a 72.0% increase from KRW 133,152 million for 2019.

Online game revenue increased by 49.4% to KRW 37,917million (US$ 34,911 thousand) in 2020 from KRW 25,375 million in 2019. The increase resulted largely from the increase in revenues from Ragnarok Online in Thailand that was re-launched on May 28, 2020

Mobile game revenue for 2020 was KRW 190,926 million (US$ 175,789 thousand), representing a 77.6% increase from KRW 107,530 million for 2019. This increase was mainly due to increased revenues from Ragnarok Origin in Korea that was launched on July 7, 2020 and Ragnarok X: Next Generation in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau that was launched on October 15, 2020. Such increase was partially offset by decreased revenues from Ragnarok M: Eternal Love in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, North America, South America, Oceania and Europe.

Other revenue was KRW 153 million (US$ 141 thousand) in 2020, representing a 38.3% decrease from KRW 247 million in 2019.

Cost of revenues was KRW 119,227 million (US$ 109,774 thousand) in 2020, representing a 82.7% increase from KRW 65,242 million in 2019. The increase in cost of revenues was mainly due to increased commission paid related to game services for Ragnarok Origin and Ragnarok X: Next Generation.

As a result of the foregoing factors, gross profit for 2020 was KRW 109,769 million (US$ 101,067 thousand), representing a 61.6% increase from KRW 67,910 million for 2019.

Based on the foregoing factors, the Company recorded an operating income of KRW 56,675 million (US$ 52,182 thousand) in 2020, compared to an operating income of KRW 34,547 million in 2019.
