Elmos increased its profitability in the third quarter, with net income after minority interests reaching 36.8 million euros, compared with 23.6 million a year earlier. Earnings per share rose to 2.14 euros from 1.37 euros in the year-earlier period. The operating EBIT margin also increased by 2.1 percentage points to 24.6%. Operating EBIT was 41.0 million euros, up 29.2% year on year. The figures show improvement in both profit and margin compared with the same quarter last year, according to company data.

Elmos’ growth extended into the first nine months of the year, with sales rising 16.4% to 481.2 million euros from 413.3 million in the same period of 2025. Operating EBIT increased 33.6% to 116.8 million euros. Adjusted operating free cash flow reached 87.8 million euros, compared with 54.6 million a year earlier, an increase of 60.9%. Chief Executive Arne Schneider said operating performance in the third quarter and first nine months “strongly confirms our path toward profitable growth with high cash generation.” He added that the company was “very confident about the final quarter and its future development.”

At Nexon, basic earnings per share were 158.42 yen for the nine months ended September 30, compared with 158.85 yen in the corresponding period of 2025. The company attributed revenue growth mainly to contributions from ARC Raiders, launched worldwide in October 2025, and strong growth in the MapleStory franchise. It said MapleStory revenue reached a record level, supported by growth in Korea and global markets, as well as contributions from MapleStory: Idle RPG and MapleStory Worlds. By contrast, revenue from the Dungeon&Fighter franchise declined year on year. Cumulative sales of ARC Raiders exceeded 17 million units, according to the disclosure republished by MarketScreener.

Nexon expects total revenue to decline year on year in the three months ending December 31, 2026, the period from October 1 to December 31. The company said its outlook takes into account comparison with the ARC Raiders launch period and a decline in Dungeon&Fighter. In contrast, it expects MapleStory and FC revenue to grow during the quarter. It estimated MapleStory franchise revenue growth of about 70% year on year in the fourth quarter. Elmos listed the Morgan Stanley European TMT conference in Barcelona on November 19 and 20, 2026, among its upcoming investor relations dates.
