Analysis · GDEV · Technology
A 23% drop in monthly paying users drove GDEV's second-quarter revenue down 22% to $94 million. Yet aggressive cuts to selling and marketing expenses—down 38%—lifted net profit to $20 million from $17 million a year ago. The company also sold the Island Hoppers mobile game for $5 million, which will add a one-time $2.1 million revenue uplift from accelerated deferred revenue recognition. The mixed results highlight a shrinking player base offset by cost discipline and asset sales.
