FRIENDTIMES (06820) has announced that the group expects to achieve revenue of approximately 1.22 billion to 1.26 billion yuan in 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of about 4.9% to 8.4%. The group anticipates a net profit in the range of 90 million to 96 million yuan, marking a significant turnaround from a loss to a profit, with a year-on-year growth of approximately 284.2% to 296.5%.
According to the announcement, the primary reasons for the revenue growth during the reporting period are the continued stable contributions from existing game products, with standout performances from titles such as *Du Lala's Promotion*, *Ling Yun Nuo*, and *Xi Fei Zhuan*, alongside positive progress in exploring new business segments.
The key factors contributing to the return to profitability include an overall increase in revenue scale, an improved proportion of high-margin channel revenue leading to gross margin growth, and the group's ongoing efforts to optimize operational efficiency. Through refined cost and expense management, both the R&D expense ratio and sales expense ratio have been effectively controlled. Furthermore, the deep integration of AI technology across all processes—from product initiation, content planning, and R&D testing to publishing, operations, and user acquisition—has enhanced work efficiency.
Regarding new games, the enchanting romantic merge game *Flowers and Scarlet Thoughts* launched its APP and mini-game versions on both platforms in January 2026, while the mini-game version of *Ink Sword Rivers and Lakes* was officially released recently, receiving notably positive market feedback. Currently, *Flowers and Scarlet Thoughts*, *Ink Sword Rivers and Lakes*, and *Du Lala's Promotion* have all entered the Top 100 of the WeChat Mini Game畅销榜 (Best Sellers Chart). Specifically, *Du Lala's Promotion* has broken into the Top 10 of the Douyin Mini Game畅销榜, and *Ink Sword Rivers and Lakes* has entered the Top 50.
The company's pipeline of games under development, including *Code: Lover*, *Code: FPJ*, *Code: KT*, and *Code: MX*, is currently in the R&D and testing phase. Based on the operational performance of the current product lineup and the status of the pipeline games, the group plans to continue driving innovation and optimizing resources. The board of directors expresses strong confidence in the group's long-term development and future prospects.
