Although the Nexon group surpassed 5 trillion won in revenue last year, operating profit and net profit fell, and it moved to restructure its business, including acquiring European corporations and reducing virtual asset investments.
According to the consolidation audit report of NXC on the 13th, the Nexon group's total revenue in 2025 was 5.1751 trillion won, up 3.8% from a year earlier.
In contrast, operating profit fell 17.4% to 960.9 billion won, and net profit plunged from 2.2467 trillion won the previous year to 85.9 billion won.
The decline in net profit is analyzed as the result of the disappearance of a one-off gain on disposal of investments in a subsidiary, which had been reflected at about 1.4485 trillion won the previous year.
Nexon holding company NXC said in Feb. that it acquired equity in European industrial solutions corporations CLI Group and included it as a consolidation subsidiary.
The acquisition was carried out through its Belgian investment subsidiary NXMH, and the specific investment size and equity ratio were not disclosed.
The share of virtual asset investments shrank. NXC said that as of the end of last year, it held virtual assets totaling 147.6 billion won, including 2,356 BTC and 22,420 ETH.
This is about a 15.2% decrease from 2024's 174 billion won, including 2,670 BTC and 32,403 ETH.
Along with this, an affiliated company was excluded due to the sale of equity in the overseas cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp, and in Feb. this year it also decided to dispose of all equity in the domestic exchange Korbit, moving to wind down virtual asset-related businesses.
