Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

According to CTOnews.com news on October 12, Perfect World today released a forecast of results for the first three quarters of 2022, with an estimated net profit of 1.427 billion yuan to 1.447 billion yuan in the first three quarters, an increase of 78.45% 80.95% over the same period last year.

In terms of the game business, the company focuses on innovation, transformation and upgrading to promote the healthy development of the game business, and is expected to achieve a net profit of 1.53259 billion yuan to 1.55259 billion yuan from January to September 2022, an increase of 97.74% to 100.32% over the same period last year, the announcement said. the growth is mainly due to the good performance increment contributed by products such as "Dream New Zhu Xian", "Magic Tower" and "Perfect World: battle of the Gods", as well as the income from equity disposal of overseas subsidiaries.

Magic Tower, jointly launched by Tencent and Perfect World, topped the list of revenue growth on August 11, ranking fifth in August, according to Sensor Tower.

From July to September 2022, the company's game business is expected to make a net profit of 350 million yuan to 370 million yuan. The main reasons for the changes compared with the third quarter of 2021 include:

(1) "Dream Xin Zhu Xian" was tested at the end of June 2021 and was in the early stage of product launch in the third quarter of 2021, resulting in a high performance contribution. At present, the game has entered a mature and stable period. through content update and operation upgrade, the game pipeline has maintained a good trend of steady rise in the first three quarters of 2022, but it has naturally declined compared with the high point at the initial stage of launch. The corresponding performance contribution is lower than that in the third quarter of 2021 compared with the same period last year.

(2) the company adjusts the layout of overseas games business and sells American R & D studios and local distribution teams in Europe and the United States at the beginning of 2022. The net profit of relevant European and American subsidiaries is no longer included in the scope of the merger.

(3) some of the company's games are affected by the life cycle, and the running water is lower than that in the third quarter of 2021.

(4) after the previous adjustment, the layout of the company's track is more focused, the company focuses on the future, tilts the resources to the projects in line with the future strategic direction, and adjusts the salary of the core staff. The increase in R & D investment in key research projects has a certain impact on the year-on-year changes in performance in the third quarter of 2022.

(5) the performance increment brought about by games such as "Magic Tower" partially offsets the performance impact caused by the above factors.

CTOnews.com learned that looking to the future, Perfect World's reserve mobile games products such as "The Demi-Gods & Semi-Devils 2", "the Kingdom of Morning and Night", "Superman with one punch: the World", "millions of Arthur", "Devil Continent 2", "perfect New World", "Zhu Xian 2" and PC game products "Zhu Xian World", "Perfect New World" and "Have a Nice Death" are being actively promoted, and several of them are scheduled to start testing in the near future.
