Netmarble has entered into an 82.8 billion won treasury stock acquisition trust agreement and plans to cancel all acquired shares within 2026 after the trust ends.
Additionally, based on a board resolution in February 2026, it will cancel approximately 405.4 billion won worth of existing treasury shares amounting to 3.99 million shares.

The consolidated debt ratio is 47.4% and the borrowing dependency is 19.7%, indicating a stable financial structure, with operating profit of 352.5 billion won and net income of 230.8 billion won.
