Mr. Feng Xie, founder and chairman of Gamehaus, commented: "We are pleased with our second quarter results, which demonstrate continued progress in our transition toward a more efficient and sustainable operating model. Revenue of $26.3 million came in near the upper end of ourrevenue forecast for the second quarter, and more importantly, net income grew approximately 151% period-over-period while operating margin expanded to 3.3% from 0.8% in the year-ago period. These improvements reflect the cumulative impact of the disciplined adjustments we have made across our cost structure, user acquisition strategy, and product portfolio over the past several quarters. Looking ahead, we are advancing a diversified product pipeline across both RPG and Puzzle genres, with multiple titles moving into active development and scheduled launches. We remain focused on strengthening our platform capabilities and leveraging AI-driven efficiencies to position us for our next phase of growth." Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2026 Unaudited Financial Results Revenue Total revenue was US$26.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, decreasing 7.8% from US$28.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. The decline primarily resulted from the Company's reduction in user acquisition spending, which was a strategic move to optimize resource allocation and redirect investment toward the development of new game categories and upcoming projects, as well as their subsequent launch and promotion, aiming to strengthen the Company's game portfolio and support sustainable long-term growth. Advertising costs decreased by 18.9% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, resulted in reduced traffic and user acquisition, which in turn affected revenue performance. In-app purchase revenue decreased 6.4% to US$23.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 from US$25.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, while advertising revenue was US$2.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to US$3.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. These headwinds were partially offset by enhanced in-game content and live-ops features, which continued to drive engagement and monetization among the Company's existing player base. Additionally, the Company is actively expanding its pipeline of games, with new titles in the Puzzle and RPG genres currently in the development and testing phase. The Company strategically allocated marketing budgets to support these products and intends to launch extensive promotional campaigns upon their commercial release. Operating Costs and Expenses Total operating costs and expenses were US$25.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, representing a 10.1% reduction from US$28.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. Cost of revenue decreased by 10.2% to US$12.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, from US$13.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower platform fees and reduced profit-sharing payments to game developers. Research and development expenses increased 7.5% to US$2.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, from US$2.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. The increase was mainly attributable to the Company's strategic collaborations with multiple developers throughout the development and testing phases. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 18.4% to US$9.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, from US$11.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. The reduction was primarily driven by a US$2.1 million decline in advertising costs related to player acquisition and retention, consistent with the Company's strategy to scale back promotional spending amid volatile ad performance across major platforms and to optimize efficiency for mature titles. General and administrative expenses were US$1.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, representing an increase of 65.5% from US$0.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher salary expenses primarily associated with the Company's efforts to improvecorporate governance, financial reporting, and investor relations capabilities as a public company, as well as the strengthening of the management team and key functional roles as part of its strategic workforce planning to support business expansion and long-term growth. Operating Income Operating income was US$0.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to US$0.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. Operating margin was 3.3% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to 0.8% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. Other Income, Net Other income, net, which mainly included the Company's non-operating income and expenses, interest income and expenses, investment income (loss), and other income and expenses, was US$0.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to US$0.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. Net Income Net income was US$0.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to US$0.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Hankook's iON Race Supports Competitive Racing at Historic Madrid E-Prix

Formula E concluded its inaugural Madrid E-Prix at the Circuito del Jarama, where Hankook's iON Race operated consistently across the championship's longest circuit The race marked the first single-header event to feature PIT BOOST, adding a new strategic layer alongside a revised ATTACK MODE Hankook also engaged fans at the Hankook booth in the Fan Village, highlighting its iON EV tire technology MADRID, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global leading tire company Hankook Tire & Technology (hereafter Hankook), the exclusive tire supplier to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, equipped all teams as Formula E staged the 2026 CUPRA Raval Madrid E-Prix at the historic Circuito del Jarama. The race unfolded as a strategically complex contest shaped by Pit Boost, revised Attack Mode, and the demands of the championship's longest circuit. On-track action from Round 6 of Formula E Season 12 at the Madrid E-Prix Round 6 of Season 12 unfolded over 23 laps of the 3.934 km Jarama circuit, where fast-flowing corners and plenty of elevation changes placed a premium on energy management and strategic execution. The first single-header use of PIT BOOST, alongside a revised ATTACK MODE, added an additional strategic dimension for teams. António Félix Da Costa led Jaguar TCS Racing to victory at the inaugural Madrid E-Prix, securing a 1–2 finish ahead of teammate Mitch Evans, while Pascal Wehrlein completed the podium for Porsche Formula E Team. Strategy and energy management played a key role across the 23-lap race. Throughout the race, Hankook supplied all teams with its iON Race tire, which delivered stable grip and controlled thermal performance as track conditions evolved across the weekend. Jarama's fast directional changes and sustained cornering loads demanded predictable warm-up characteristics and consistent traction over the full race distance. Despite limited historical race data at the venue, the tire's balanced performance window enabled teams to commit to their PIT BOOST and ATTACK MODE strategies with confidence. "The Madrid E-Prix offered a valuable opportunity to see how teams adapted their strategy on Formula E's longest circuit," said Manfred Sandbichler, Senior Director of Hankook Motorsport. "With PIT BOOST and a revised ATTACK MODE influencing race dynamics, tire consistency was an important factor as teams managed energy and race pace across the 23-lap distance. Insights from Jarama will contribute to our ongoing collaboration with the championship as the season continues." With Round 6 completed in Madrid, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship now turns to Rounds 7 and 8 in Berlin, where teams will face a contrasting challenge on the championship's established Tempelhof circuit.

NexaFlo® 400 (left) & NexaFlo® 450 (right) Continuous Flow Analyzers for Seawater Testing. Monitoring nutrients in seawater is essential for understanding ocean productivity, tracking ecosystem health, and supporting environmental and regulatory programs. Analytical challenges are significant: while seawater contains high concentrations of major ions, critical nutrients such as nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate, and ammonium can occur at extremely low concentrations, particularly in open-ocean and deep-water environments. Reliable detection of these trace nutrients requires stable baselines, precise reagent handling, and instrumentation capable of delivering low limits of detection with consistent signal quality. The NexaFlo® platform, KPM Analytics' next-generation continuous flow analyzer, addresses these requirements with upgraded electronics and improved signal processing that reduce background noise and improve measurement stability. For marine nutrient applications, NexaFlo® delivers 2–3× better analytical performance compared with the previous-generation Futura platform, enabling laboratories to quantify very low nutrient concentrations with greater confidence. A major advantage of NexaFlo® is its compatibility with the extensive library of analytical manifolds developed for the Futura platform. Laboratories can continue using established chemistries and validated methods while benefiting from the improved performance of the new instrument architecture. The system supports proven Grasshoff chemistries for nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and silicate analysis, as well as fluorometric methods for very low ammonium detection. To simplify implementation for marine laboratories, KPM Analytics is also introducing a dedicated bundle of height seawater analysis manifolds covering the most common nutrient measurements (Nitrates, Nitrites, Silicates, Phosphates, Ammonia with fluorescence, Ammonia with phenol, Total Phosphorus, Total Nitrogen). The bundled configuration provides a ready-to-deploy solution for oceanographic research institutions, government monitoring programs, and commercial laboratories performing routine seawater testing.

Fujitsu-developed traffic simulation system utilized in Maebashi City's public transportation planning

In Japan-first, system combines fixed-route and demand-responsive transport, and contributes to sustainable public transportation as part of a project promoted by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism TOKYO, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu Limited today announced that its comprehensive traffic simulation system, developed under contract for Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT)-led regional transportation DX promotion project COMmmmONS, has been adopted for Maebashi City Regional Public Transportation Plan, published by local government on March 23, 2026. Analysis carried out by the system is included in the plan as scientific evidence supporting the policy to increase bus routes, one of the plan's key measures. Across municipalities nationwide, addressing the needs of transportation-disadvantaged residents and responding to carbon neutrality in the transportation sector have become urgent challenges, driving the need to advance and modernize public transportation systems. In Maebashi City, challenges such as demographic changes, increasingly diverse mobility needs, and a shortage of bus drivers have emerged. As city examined optimal bus route reorganization measures under Maebashi City Regional Public Transportation Plan, it required robust and credible scientific evidence to substantiate the effectiveness of these measures. Fujitsu was selected for COMmmmONS project in April 2025 and developed a system capable of simulating both fixed-route and demand-responsive transportation, a first for Japan. The utility of the simulation results generated by this system was subsequently recognized, leading to its adoption in Maebashi City's regional public transportation plan. The comprehensive traffic simulation system leverages Fujitsu's social digital twin technology to support pre-verification of measures by simulating human and social behavior. It utilizes generally available statistical data on resident attributes, movement, and destinations, as well as ridership data obtainable from MaaS apps. Fujitsu plans to commercialize this system as a service by fiscal year 2026, developing it into a standard tool applicable across Japan. It will also promote collaboration with partners engaged in optimizing regional transportation, including local governments, consulting firms, and transportation operators. Through these efforts, Fujitsu aims to support the formulation of regional public transportation plans for local governments across Japan. Fujitsu will continue to train the system using mobility data and other sources to establish it as an AI engine capable of accurately replicating diverse behaviors of local residents so that it can contribute to urban development and community planning nationwide.
