In the recent 2025 half-year performance forecast, Perfect World demonstrated an impressive financial performance, with an expected net profit attributable to shareholders of 480 million to 520 million yuan in the first half of the year. This data marks the company's successful turnaround after a difficult period, returning to the path of profitability.
According to the announcement, the game business of Perfect World will be the main driver of this profit, with the net profit attributable to shareholders also expected to be between 480 million and 520 million yuan. Compared to the same period last year, this data has achieved a turnaround from loss to profit. Notably, the key to this turnaround lies in the successful launch of its self-developed new national-style xianxia MMORPG PC game "Zhu Xian World," which was released in December last year, bringing significant performance growth for the company in the first half of the year.
Additionally, the stable growth of the esports business is also an important factor. Perfect World continues to drive the growth of esports revenue through high-quality and frequent events, forming a stable source of profit. At the same time, internal adjustments and optimization measures have begun to show results, successfully reducing costs and improving efficiency.
Regarding non-recurring gains and losses, Perfect World expects to achieve approximately 190 million yuan in the first half of the year, mainly from the disposal gain of the Chenguang Studio in the first quarter. These factors together have significantly improved the overall financial situation of Perfect World.
Looking ahead, Perfect World will continue to increase investment in the game business, focusing on advantage categories and projects, and exploring the long-term value of existing games. It is expected that the sequel MMORPG game "Zhu Xian 2" will be publicly tested in China on August 7, 2025, laying the foundation for the company to further consolidate its market position.
In the film and television business, Perfect World is also not lagging behind, expecting to achieve a net profit attributable to shareholders of about 40 million yuan in the first half of the year, and winning the recognition of the audience through a series of popular customized dramas. In the future, the film and television business will continue to focus on the production of high-quality content and gradually implement the strategy of "improving quality and reducing quantity."
Perfect World's dual efforts in the game and film and television industries are expected to achieve greater breakthroughs in 2025, stepping onto a new level.
