The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue growth was driven by the contribution of ARC Raiders, released globally in October of the previous year, and a new title in the MapleStory franchise. Profit before tax and interim profit attributable to owners of the parent increased in part because a foreign exchange gain was recognized in the interim period, compared with a foreign exchange loss in the year-earlier period. Personnel expenses, software service expenses, cloud service expenses, advertising expenses and platform usage fees also increased.
