FY26 Revenue Declines 8.7% to $82.5M
Revenue fell to $82.5M from $90.4M in FY25, driven by weaker performance of newly launched games. Cost of revenue rose 29.2% to $28.5M, compressing gross margin.

Net Loss of $4.1M vs $3.8M Profit Prior Year

Cash Position and Negative Operating Cash Flow
Cash and cash equivalents of $14.4M with net working capital of $7.5M. Net cash used in operating activities was $3.2M, versus $0.1M provided in FY25.
Analysis · CTW · Technology
CTW's FY2026 annual report reveals a company in transition: revenue declined 8.7% to $82.5M, operating loss widened to $7.3M, and net income swung to a $4.1M loss from $3.8M profit a year earlier. More concerning for governance-focused investors, management and the auditor identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to IT general controls — specifically insufficient user access approvals for the new China accounting system and inadequate oversight of service organization controls. Management concluded ICFR was not effective as of July 31, 2026. The company remains an emerging growth company and is exempt from auditor attestation under SOX 404(b), but the weakness must be remediated. Cash of $14.4M and net working capital of $7.5M provide runway, but operating cash flow turned negative at -$3.2M. The company also faces employment claims in Japan and a Taiwan business tax assessment.
