Unusual for a tech company to do so many buyback. They must feel very strongly their share price is undervalued. | ||

Winking Studios: Strong 1H2026 revenue growth, with accelerated strategic investments supporting the Group&rsquo s next
phase of growth
&ldquo The first half demonstrates the strength of our core business and the scale of the opportunity we are building towards. Revenue grew by 21%, led by strong demand for art outsourcing, while repeat business and our bookings provide good visibility over underlying activity.
At the same time, we chose to accelerate investment in two areas where we see significant long-term potential: building a stronger North American presence through the acquisition of and further investment into Ampera and developing AI-enabled game development capabilities. We are encouraged by the larger opportunities
entering the Ampera pipeline and the early commercial traction we are seeing from AI-enabled game
development.
Our AI initiative is principally focused on enhancing game-development workflows. Game art production continues to depend on human creativity, artistic judgement and rigorous quality control.
Our focus is on building Winking Studios into a broader, end-to-end game development partner that combines high-quality creative production, game development capability and global delivery. We believe the investments we are making now will strengthen our competitive position and support sustainable long-term growth.&rdquo

As everyone talks about the layoffs and AI, this also meant less competition for Winking Studios, and more talent out there for them to chose from. Likely in the longer term, increase in revenue and lowering of cost.

This could be a nothing burger. But EA is likely one of the company' s biggest client. If it has layoff so many workers, at a certain point in time, they will need help and likely will offload to Winking Studios.

Winking Studios 1H2025: M& A strategy fueling growth across a rapidly expanding global gaming market
- Strong growth in the Group&rsquo s revenue, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA.
- Resilient game outsourcing services demand, with follow-up projects contributing 38.8% of revenue (1H2024: 44.1%).
- Healthy balance sheet with cash and cash equivalents and bond investments of US$27.1 million and zero debt as at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: US$41.3 million and zero debt).
- Largest acquisition to date in Shanghai Mineloader Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (&ldquo Mineloader&rdquo ), one of Asia&rsquo s leading game art outsourcing and development studios, in April 2025.
Outlook
&bull The Board believes the Asian gaming market is experiencing a strong recovery, led by mobile gaming, which continues to drive the demand for art outsourcing.
&bull The Group will continue to scale up in Southeast Asia to meet demand with top-tier talent and enhanced production capacity, including the launch of Vertic Studios in 2H2025, a new high-end art production brand of the Group for the global gaming market. Since 30 June 2025, the Group&rsquo s headcount has grown from 1,312 to 1,405 as at 31 July 2025.
&bull Growing project pipeline with leading game developers and publishers globally, underpinned by strong indicative artist bookings totalling at least US$49.4 million over the next 24 months (subject to final confirmation from customers) as at 30 June 2025 and of which US$18.4 million is expected to be recognised in 2H2025.
&bull Strong cash position and no debt support plans to continue to execute M& A strategy, including further expansion in Western markets and to establish our UK office as a strategic foothold for long-term international expansion.
Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer (Founder) of Winking Studios, Johnny Jan, commented:
" We are pleased to report healthy revenue growth in the first half of 2025, reflecting robust demand and the successful execution of our core M& A strategy. The completion of our largest acquisition to date, Mineloader, adds scale, broadens our capabilities in AAA console game art production and deepens our presence in Western markets as we actively pursue further acquisitions.
With a strong balance sheet, a healthy base of follow-up revenues from high-value projects and a growing pipeline of M& A opportunities, underpinned by our team' s continued focus on execution and operational excellence, we are well positioned for growth in FY2025 and to create long-term value for all our stakeholders.&rdquo
