FriendTimes Inc. (6820) Predicts Turnaround with Revenue and Profit Growth in FY2025

Bulletin Express02-11 16:41

FriendTimes Inc. (6820) has announced that the group anticipates revenue between RMB1,220 million and RMB1,260 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, reflecting a year-on-year increase of around 4.9% to 8.4%. The company also expects to record a profit in the range of RMB90 million to RMB96 million, indicating a shift from loss to profit over the same period and a year-on-year increase estimated at 284.2% to 296.5%.

According to the announcement, key factors driving revenue growth include stable contributions from major game products, such as “A Story of Lala’s: Rising Star,” “Promise of Lingyun,” and “Legend of Empress,” as well as progress in exploring new segments. Profitability is attributed to higher overall revenue, improved gross profit margins from high-gross-profit channels, enhanced operational efficiency through refined cost and expense management, and the application of AI across research, development, distribution, and user acquisition.

Recently launched titles “Floral Fantasy” and “Ink Sword Jianghu” have garnered strong market feedback in their respective app and mini-game versions. Both games, along with “A Story of Lala’s: Rising Star,” secured spots in the TOP 100 on the WeChat mini-game best-seller list, with selected titles also performing competitively on the Douyin platform.

The announcement notes that additional games in various development stages are underway, reinforcing the company’s commitment to product innovation and resource optimization. Final, audited results are expected to be released by the end of March 2026.
