KRAFTON (base date: May 29, 2026, market cap approx. 11.88T KRW) is a gaming-focused corporate group controlled by Byung-Gyu Chang et al. (27.42% ownership). As of the designation date, it has 21 domestic and 57 overseas affiliates.
For the latest fiscal year, KRAFTON standalone revenue reached 2.89T KRW, operating profit 1.06T KRW, net income 735.2B KRW. Consolidated total assets were 9.32T KRW with a debt ratio of 13.59%, indicating a very stable financial structure.
Newly included affiliates: Neptune (45.07% stake) and its 7 subsidiaries, ADK Group (30 companies), Eleventh Hour Games, etc. (47 total). Excluded: Nexports (merged), Onmind (capital reduction), Eterra Delaware (merged), DK Advertising (liquidated).
No circular shareholding exists. The financial affiliate BonAngels Venture Partners (78.45% owned by Chang) holds 2.04% of KRAFTON shares.
Some subsidiaries (RisingWings, Nimble Neuron) are in capital erosion but negligible relative to group scale. Neptune recorded a large impairment loss (net loss of approx. 67.8B KRW) but maintains equity of 314.5B KRW.
The board resolved to acquire and cancel treasury shares in 2026 and establish a new shareholder return policy, confirming efforts to enhance shareholder value.
[AI Summary]This regular corporate group disclosure clarifies the governance of newly added Neptune and ADK groups and reaffirms consolidated financial stability, which is neutral for the stock price. However, capital erosion in a few subsidiaries and Neptune's large loss warrant monitoring as investment risks.
