Krafton's revenue last year surpassed 3 trillion won. Backed by steady growth of its flagship intellectual property (IP), Battlegrounds, revenue increased, but operating profit fell by more than 10% from a year earlier as expense related to the Seongsu new headquarters transfer was reflected.
Krafton said on the 9th that revenue on a consolidation basis last year rose 22.8% from a year earlier to 3.3266 trillion won. Operating profit for the same period fell 10.8% to 1.0544 trillion won.
Fourth-quarter revenue last year was tallied at 919.7 billion won, up 48.9% from the same period a year earlier. Operating profit during the same period plunged 98.9% to 2.4 billion won. A Krafton official said, "One-off expense was reflected at once, including grants of 81.6 billion won to the joint labor welfare fund as resources to be used over the next four years in preparation for the Seongsu new headquarters transfer."
