They made a lot of money.
This week Netmarble released their 2020 fiscal year results, and those results? Lods of emone. Total revenue grossed $2.1 billion with an operating profit of $230.56 million and a net profit of $286.9 million. Netmarble’s overseas revenue chain saw a massive growth in 2020 accounting for 72% of sales.
Top performing titles include Marvel Contest of Champions (15%), Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross (12%), and Seven Knights 2 (12%). While total sales marked a 12% increase year over year, net profit is up 2,097%. Yes, two thousand percent. That can get you a lot of dinners at Red Lobster.
“We achieved meaningful growth in 2020 with the global launch of A3: STILL ALIVE, the Korean launch of Seven Knights 2 and MaguMagu 2020, the continued success of The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross and MARVEL Contest of Champions as well as ongoing enthusiasm from players worldwide for our current portfolio of games,” said Seungwon Lee, Co-CEO of Netmarble. “We made noteworthy achievements with our original IP titles this year, and will continue to make efforts to strengthen original IP for global players to enjoy.”
