13 August 2026 \u2013 Asphere Innovations Public Company Limited [SET: AS] announced its operating results for the first half of 2026, reporting total revenue of THB 527.1 million, representing an increase of 4.0% compared to the same period last year. The Company’s primary revenue continued to be generated from its PC game portfolio, which maintained a stable contribution during the period. Meanwhile, the mobile gaming business recorded positive growth compared to the previous year, supported by the regional launch of MU New Dawn and the relaunch of Real Yulgang Classic in Thailand late last year. These initiatives helped strengthen the Company’s revenue base and further diversify its game portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the increase in total revenue, net profit for the first six months of 2026 amounted to THB 42.6 million, a decrease of 30.4% compared to the same period last year. The decline was primarily attributable to weaker operating results in the second quarter of 2026, together with higher royalty fees associated with game licenses renewed during 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second quarter of 2026, the Company reported revenue of THB 229.2 million and net profit of THB 14.2 million. During the quarter, MapleStorySEA adjusted the timing of a major content update to the third quarter of 2026 to allow for greater operational readiness and more effective content delivery. In addition, ongoing economic uncertainties continued to influence consumer spending behavior, while higher royalty fees further impacted profitability. As a result, revenue and net profit for Q2\/2026 declined by 23.1% and 50.0%, respectively, compared to the previous quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, the Company continues to maintain a strong financial position and liquidity. The Board of Directors has approved an interim dividend payment from the operating results of the first half of 2026 at the rate of THB 0.08 per share. The Record Date for shareholders entitled to receive the dividend has been set for 27 August 2026, with the dividend payment scheduled for 11 September 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, the Company is preparing major content updates for its core PC game portfolio, including MapleStorySEA and Yulgang PC. In addition, Audition PC recently launched its major 20th Anniversary campaign featuring renowned Thai rapper \u201cMILLI\u201d (Ms. Danupha Khanatheerakul) as the game’s presenter. Introduced in early August, the campaign is expected to enhance brand awareness and strengthen engagement among broader and more diverse player segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Company also plans to launch three new mobile games during the second half of the year, comprising 3 regional titles and 1 title for the Thailand market. These new launches are expected to further diversify the Company’s product portfolio and support long-term growth opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
