DoubleDown Interactive Reports Third Quarter 2026 Revenue of $94.3 Million
and Earnings per Fully Diluted Common Share of $7.41
SEOUL, KOREA – November 11, 2026 — DoubleDown Interactive Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: DDI) (“DoubleDown” or the “Company”), a leading developer and publisher of digital games on mobile and web-based platforms, today announced unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Third Quarter 2026 vs. Third Quarter 2025 Summary:
•Revenue decreased 1.6% to $94.3 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $95.8 million in the third quarter of 2025.
◦Revenue from the Company’s social casino/free-to-play games was $76.8 million in the third quarter of 2026, a 3.5% decrease from the third quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower revenue from the Company’s DoubleDown titles (excluding WHOW Games).
◦Direct-to-Consumer (“DTC”)1 revenue rose to $44.6 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $16.6 million in the third quarter of 2025. DTC revenue as a percentage of total social casino revenue increased to 58.0% in the third quarter of 2026 from 20.9% in the third quarter of 2025 and 52.4% in the second quarter of 2026.
◦Revenue from SuprNation, the Company’s iGaming subsidiary, increased 7.4% year-over-year to $17.4 million, primarily as a result of the continued success of the Company’s newest brand, Los Vegas.
•Operating expenses decreased to $56.8 million in the third quarter of 2026 from $60.9 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting lower platform fees as a greater share of social casino revenue was generated through DTC channels, partially offset by higher gaming duties in the iGaming segment.
•Profit for the interim period (excluding non-controlling interest) decreased 43.9% to $18.4 million, or earnings per fully diluted common share of $7.41 ($0.37 per American Depositary Share (“ADS”)), in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $32.7 million, or earnings per fully diluted common share of $13.21 ($0.66 per ADS), in the third quarter of 2025.
◦The decline primarily reflects net foreign currency losses recognized in the third quarter of 2026, mainly unrealized and realized losses on U.S. dollar-denominated financial assets as well as higher income tax expense. These factors were partially offset by higher operating profit, which increased to $37.5 million from $35.0 million, driven by lower cost of revenue attributable to a higher proportion of DTC revenue.
◦Each ADS represents 0.05 share of a common share.
◦Adjusted EBITDA rose 7.2% to $40.2 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $37.5 million in the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 42.7% in the third quarter of 2026, compared to 39.1% in the third quarter of 2025.
•Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, social casino KPIs are inclusive of those from WHOW Games.
1 Direct-to-Consumer revenue represents revenue from purchases made through Company-owned channels, including web storefront transactions and other direct payment flows.
◦Payer Conversion ratio for the Company’s social casino/free-to-play games increased to 9.5% in the third quarter of 2026 from 7.8% in the third quarter of 2025, primarily as a result of the inclusion of WHOW Games, which has a higher Payer Conversion ratio.
◦Average Revenue Per Daily Active User (“ARPDAU”) for the Company’s social casino/free-to-play games increased to $1.44 in the third quarter of 2026 from $1.39 in the third quarter of 2025, primarily as a result of the inclusion of WHOW Games, which has a higher Payer Conversion ratio that more than offset its lower average revenue per payer.
◦Average monthly revenue per payer for the social casino/free-to-play games decreased to $216 in the third quarter of 2026 from $272 in the third quarter of 2025, primarily as a result of the inclusion of WHOW Games, which has a lower average revenue per payer.
•Net cash flows from operating activities decreased to $23.6 million in the third quarter of 2026 from $33.4 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease is primarily due to higher income taxes paid.
“Following our strong results in the first half of 2026, DoubleDown’s third quarter results reflect another period of solid performance, and exceeded consensus expectations for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Operational excellence drove our operating profit to $37.5 million and a 7.2% year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA and expanded our third quarter adjusted EBITDA margin to 42.7%. Direct-to-Consumer expansion continues, with revenue of $44.6 million in the third quarter representing 58% of social casino revenue, up from 52% last quarter and 21% a year ago.
“Our ability to consistently drive a high conversion of revenue to cash flow remains a top operating priority, and enabled DoubleDown to generate $23.6 million of net cash flow from operations in the third quarter and a total of $94.7 million in the first nine months of 2026.
“Looking ahead, we remain focused on execution across our social casino and iGaming portfolio while continuing to evaluate acquisitions in casual gaming, online gambling and mobile entertainment. With an aggregate net cash position of $545 million, DoubleDown’s strong balance sheet provides us with substantial financial flexibility to pursue strategic growth opportunities and value-building initiatives and transactions that build long-term shareholder value.”

Safe Harbor Statement
Certain statements contained in this press release are “forward-looking statements” about future events and expectations. Forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions, and expectations of industry trends, our future financial and operating performance, and our growth plans, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are not statements of historical fact. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “continues,” “estimates,” “expects,” “goal,” “objectives,” “intends,” “may,” “opportunity,” “plans,” “potential,” “near-term,” “long-term,” “projections,” “assumptions,” “projects,” “guidance,” “forecasts,” “outlook,” “target,” “trends,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “will,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. We qualify any forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements for any reason or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
Use and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with IFRS, we believe the following non-IFRS financial measure is useful in evaluating our operating performance. We present “adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization” (“Adjusted EBITDA”) because we believe it assists investors and analysts by facilitating comparison of period-to-period operational performance on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. The items excluded from the Adjusted EBITDA may have a material impact on our financial results. Certain of those items are non-recurring, while others are non-cash in nature. Accordingly, the Adjusted EBITDA is presented as supplemental disclosure and should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS, and should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated interim financial statements furnished in our report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC.
In our reconciliation from our reported IFRS “profit before income tax” to our Adjusted EBITDA, we eliminate the impact of the following four line items: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) finance income; (iii) finance cost; and (iv) other (income) expense. The below table sets forth the full reconciliation of our non-IFRS measures:

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. General information
Background and nature of operations
DoubleDown Interactive Co., Ltd. (“DDI,” “we,” “us,” “Parent Company,” “our” or “the Company,” formerly known as The8Games Co., Ltd.) was incorporated in 2008 in Seoul, Korea as an interactive entertainment studio, focused on the development and publishing of casual games and mobile applications. DDI is a subsidiary of DoubleU Games Co., Ltd. (“DUG” or “DoubleU Games”), a Korean company and our controlling shareholder holding 67.1 % of our outstanding shares. In 2017, DDI acquired DoubleDown Interactive LLC (“DDI-US”) from International Gaming Technologies (“IGT”) for approximately $825 million. DDI-US is our primary revenue-generating company. In October 2023, the Company acquired an iGaming operator, SuprNation AB (together with its subsidiaries, “SuprNation”), which is now a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of DDI-US. The acquisition diversifies the digital games categories that the Company addresses with the addition of four real-money iGaming sites in Europe. In July 2025, the Company acquired WHOW Games GmbH, a social casino developer headquartered in Hamburg, Germany (“WHOW Games”), which is now a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of DDI-US. In September 2025, DDI-US completed the conversion from a Washington limited liability company to a Nevada limited liability company.
We develop and publish digital gaming contents on various mobile and web platforms through our multi-format interactive all-in-one game experience concept. We host DoubleDown Casino, DoubleDown Classic, and DoubleDown Fort Knox within various formats, SuprNation’s four brands, Duelz, VoodooDreams, NYSpins and Los Vegas on web platforms, and WHOW Games’ proprietary brands, mainly MyJackpot and Lounge777, and licensed brand, mainly Merkur24, on both web and mobile platforms.
On September 2, 2021, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing 0.05 share of a common share, with par value of ₩10,000 per share, of the Company. Our ADSs trade on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “DDI.”
2. Basis of preparation and material accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in conformity with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”), and include the accounts of DDI and its controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealized gains or losses have been eliminated. Our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of those for the full year. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future operating results may be affected.
F-6
The significant accounting estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the estimation method used in determining income tax expense.
The income tax expense for the interim period is calculated by applying the estimated average annual effective tax rate to the profit before tax for the period.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the adoption of new standards or interpretations effective from January 1, 2026.
New standards and interpretations adopted during the interim period
Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
The amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9 clarify the classification and measurement of financial assets, including the assessment of the solely payments of principal and interest criterion for financial assets with ESG-linked features. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company has applied the amendments retrospectively to the earliest comparative period presented. The adoption of these amendments does not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

13. Commitments and contingencies
13.1. Publishing and license agreements
DoubleU Games
We entered into the DoubleU Games License Agreement on March 7, 2018 with DoubleU Games through DDI-US, pursuant to which DoubleU Games grants us, an exclusive license to develop and distribute certain DoubleU Games social casino game titles and sequels thereto in the social online game field of use. We are obligated to pay a royalty license fee to DoubleU Games in connection with these rights, with certain customary terms and conditions. As of September 30, 2026, we licensed from DUG approximately 86 game titles under the terms of this agreement.
In October 2023, we, through DDI-US, entered into a Game Development Services Agreement with DoubleU Games pursuant to which DDI-US will pay service fees to DoubleU Games for certain game maintenance services and product planning and user analysis services provided by DoubleU Games.
In October 2024, we, through DDI-US, entered into a Game Development Agreement with DoubleU Games, pursuant to which DoubleU Games would develop certain social casino game software and titles for us in exchange for development fees.
We, through SuprPlay Limited, also entered into a new game license agreement with DoubleU Games with effect from August 20, 2024. We are obligated to pay a royalty license fee to DoubleU Games in connection with these rights, with certain customary terms and conditions.
International Gaming Technologies (“IGT”)
In 2017, we entered into a Game Development, Distribution, and Services Agreement with IGT. Under the terms of the agreement, IGT will deliver game assets so that we can port (a process of converting the assets into functioning slot games by platform) the technology for inclusion in our gaming apps. The agreement includes game assets that are used to create new games. Under the agreement, we paid IGT an initial royalty rate of 10 % of revenue for their proprietary assets and 15 % of revenue for third-party game asset types. Effective January 1, 2019, we amended the agreement to revise the royalty rate for proprietary game asset types to 7.5 % of revenue. The initial term of the agreement is ten (10 ) years with up to two additional five-year periods. Costs incurred in connection with this agreement for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 totaled $2.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and are recognized as a component of cost of revenue.
13.2. Legal contingencies
As of the date of this report, in the United States, the Company is a defendant or involved as an interested party in several pending lawsuits and arbitrations alleging that its social casino-themed games constitute illegal gambling under applicable state laws and seeking to recover amounts paid by the residents of the applicable state in connection with such games. The Company denies the allegations, and contends that its games are not gambling under the applicable law and that the cases suffer from various procedural defects. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably predict the outcome of these legal proceedings and cannot estimate what impact, if any, the litigation may have on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
13.3. Directors and Officers’ indemnification agreement
The Company’s maximum aggregate liability for all loss and expenses on account of any and all requests for indemnity under the Indemnification Agreement or any similar indemnity agreement with any other indemnitee will be $5,000,000 per every 12-month period.
F-15
13.4. Other matters
IGT Letter
In March 2025, DDI-US received a letter from IGT (“IGT Letter”) purporting to terminate the Company’s licenses to develop and distribute IGT social casino game titles throughout the United States. The IGT Letter cited the January 2025 public memo issued by the Washington State Gambling Commission (“WSGC”), where the WSGC encouraged companies offering virtual casino-style games to Washington residents to review their games and ensure compliance with state gambling regulations. The Company responded to the IGT Letter in April 2025, disputing the termination, and has not received any subsequent response from IGT to date. While the outcome of this matter is currently uncertain, the Company believes that IGT has no basis to terminate the licenses and that the Company’s distribution of the licensed games is not prohibited under Washington State law.
SuprNation Performance Based Compensation
Contemporaneously with entering into the definitive agreement, the Company also adopted an -month performance-based incentive plan for certain key employees of SuprNation, under which the key employees may earn up to a total of $6.5 million in addition to $5.5 million held in escrow, which vest over the -month period. The performance-based incentive plan is contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue and other performance targets by the acquired business and the continued employment of such key employees between 2023 and 2025. Such plan became effective at the closing of the transaction. In August 2024, $4.2 million of the incentive plan was modified to be contingent solely upon continued employment. All of the compensation under the plan has been paid as of March 2026.
