Report overview

Trading Halted, Delisting Crossroads After Audit Disclaimer

PangSky has been under a trading halt since April 2025, and a second consecutive disclaimer of audit opinion for fiscal year 2025 has added a new delisting cause, leaving the KONEX-listed publisher at a crossroads over continued listing.

  1. 1

    Trading in PangSky shares has been suspended since April 7, 2025, and the fiscal 2025 audit report disclosed on March 23, 2026 again resulted in a disclaimer of opinion citing scope limitations and going-concern uncertainty, adding a new delisting cause.

  2. 2

    Consolidated revenue fell sharply to about KRW 2.03 billion in 2025 from KRW 8.84 billion in 2024, while operating profit turned positive at roughly KRW 220 million; net loss, however, continued at about KRW 1.16 billion.

  3. 3

    Total shareholders' equity was negative (full capital impairment) in 2022, 2024 and 2025, and even in 2023 it stood at only about KRW 128 million, underscoring a fragile capital structure.

  4. 4

    Repeated third-party placement rights offerings aimed at debt repayment have created a structural dilution burden as the share count rises.

  5. 5

    New titles such as Samgukji RED and a network of Chinese publishing partners exist, but the flagship title Mukhon Online has already had its service transferred to another operator.

02

Business structure

PangSky was founded in 2012 as a corporate entity operating the game portal 'PangGame,' changed its name to PangSky in 2017, and listed on the KONEX market on June 28, 2024.

The company's core business is publishing online and mobile games both domestically and overseas; it services popular domestic titles and web games while building a network with more than 40 partners including Baidu and Tencent in China, expanding into overseas markets through local subsidiaries.

Its flagship MMORPG, Mukhon Online, had its service transferred to another operator, GameResearch, in March 2025, which has since continued operations including new server launches.

In March 2025 the company began pre-registration for a new real-time strategy simulation (SLG) title, Samgukji RED, featuring large-scale siege battles, PvP, and alliance systems across a vast in-game map.

PangSky has also serviced numerous other online and mobile titles over its history, including entries in the Fortress franchise. Some information providers describe PangSky as also operating an education subsidiary offering self-directed learning programs alongside its game publishing business.

As the game industry shifts rapidly toward mobile platforms, securing a global network is seen as essential for survival, and PangSky, as a small KONEX-listed publisher, faces a scale disadvantage in capital and marketing resources relative to larger publishers.

Broader stagnation in the game market and declining demand amid the rise of alternative entertainment options are also cited as structural challenges facing the company.

Earnings analysis

PangSky's consolidated revenue rose from KRW 12.26 billion in 2022 to KRW 20.87 billion in 2023, then fell sharply to KRW 8.84 billion in 2024 and further to KRW 2.03 billion in 2025, showing pronounced volatility.

Operating profit swung from a loss of KRW 3.70 billion in 2022 to a profit of KRW 1.17 billion in 2023, then back to a large loss of KRW 6.16 billion in 2024, before turning positive again in 2025 at KRW 220 million with an operating margin of 10.8% even as revenue contracted sharply.

On a net income basis, however, the company posted only a modest profit of KRW 226 million in 2023 before recording losses of KRW 11.74 billion in 2024 and KRW 1.16 billion in 2025, revealing a wide gap between operating and net results.

This gap appears to reflect one-off, non-operating losses layered on top of the shrinking revenue base. Operating cash flow (CFO) was also negative in 2022, 2024 and 2025, with only 2023 showing a positive inflow of KRW 516 million, pointing to unstable cash generation.

Total equity stood at negative KRW 8.97 billion in 2022, a marginal positive KRW 128 million in 2023, negative KRW 11.27 billion in 2024, and negative KRW 10.42 billion in 2025 — full capital impairment for most of the period.

First-quarter 2024 revenue was KRW 2.92 billion with an operating profit of KRW 114 million, but the owners' net result was still a loss of KRW 77 million, indicating that quarterly results also remained in deficit.

Taken together, the company shows a persistently shrinking top line with only partial improvement at the operating-profit level, while net income and the balance sheet still show no clear sign of durable recovery.

05

Industry analysis

The domestic game industry is experiencing an overall growth slowdown and declining demand amid the rise of alternative entertainment content, which has been cited as a factor behind the deteriorating performance of small publishers like PangSky.

As the game industry shifts rapidly toward mobile platforms, having a global distribution network has become a key variable separating survival from decline.

PangSky holds networks with numerous Chinese companies including Baidu and Tencent, giving it some advantage in distribution channels, but it remains at a disadvantage in capital strength and development capability relative to larger publishers.

On the KONEX market, several companies including Sevenbrau, Innovex, and Ogun Ecotech have recently received consecutive disclaimers of opinion in their fiscal 2025 audits and face delisting risk, highlighting a broader audit-credibility risk among small-cap listed companies.

PangSky and Ogun Ecotech had their improvement periods, granted after the fiscal 2024 audit disclaimer, expire on April 10, 2026, and both again received disclaimers of opinion in the fiscal 2025 audit, exposing them to a double delisting cause.

This trend suggests widening investor concern across the KONEX market regarding audit reliability and going-concern viability.

In terms of competitive positioning, PangSky operates a publishing-centered business model rather than in-house development, putting it in competition with similarly sized publishers for domestic and overseas rights to hit titles.

06

Outlook

The company's top priority is resolving its delisting causes.

Following the expiration on April 10, 2026 of the improvement period granted after the fiscal 2024 audit disclaimer, the company must submit improvement implementation documents to the exchange, which will convene its listing committee within 20 business days of submission to deliberate and decide on delisting.

Separately, a new delisting cause arising from the fiscal 2025 audit disclaimer requires its own objection procedure, creating a dual-track process. On the business side, whether the new title Samgukji RED gains traction and contributes to revenue will be a key point to watch for any recovery in performance.

The company stated on its own website in August 2025 that it had joined a group mediation action against the Google and Apple app stores, expecting cost savings alongside other companies through improvements to app-market commission structures, though the actual recovery amount or timing of any such mediation has not been officially confirmed.

On the balance-sheet side, repeated third-party placement rights offerings for debt repayment suggest similar capital raises may continue going forward.

Overall, the company's near-term outlook is shaped less by operating metrics than by non-operating events such as the audit opinion and listing-eligibility review outcomes.

It should first be noted that PangSky's quoted share price is fixed at the level of its last closing price before the trading halt began in April 2025, meaning the normal price-discovery function of the market is currently not operating.

Because total equity has been negative (fully impaired) in multiple years, valuation approaches that compare share price to net asset value face fundamental interpretive limits.

Owners' net income has also remained in a loss position over the most recent four-quarter window, making earnings-based multiples difficult to interpret in the usual way.

Looking at the multi-year pattern, profitability has moved unevenly — a brief profit in 2023, a large loss in 2024, and only a partial recovery at the operating-profit level in 2025 — without establishing a stable trend.

No dividend payments have been confirmed in recent years, making dividend-related metrics similarly inapplicable.

Against this backdrop, discussing this stock's value is less about conventional multiple comparisons and more about non-financial events such as the audit opinion and listing-eligibility review outcome, which currently function as the more decisive variables.

Bull factors

Return to Operating Profit

Despite a sharp revenue decline in 2025, operating profit turned positive at KRW 220 million with a 10.8% operating margin, a marked improvement from the large operating loss of KRW 6.16 billion in 2024.

This suggests cost-structure adjustments have had some effect, though net income remained in deficit, limiting the scope of the recovery.

China Network and New Title Pipeline

The company is known to maintain a network with more than 40 Chinese companies including Baidu and Tencent, and it pursued lineup expansion by opening pre-registration for the new title Samgukji RED in 2025. This network and new title could form a basis for future revenue diversification.

Participation in App-Store Fee Mediation

According to the company's own announcement, PangSky joined a group mediation action against the Google and Apple app stores in August 2025.

Joint action with multiple companies raises the possibility of cost savings from reduced commission burdens, though the recovery amount and timing remain officially unconfirmed and highly uncertain.

09

Bear factors

Dual Delisting Causes

The company has received consecutive disclaimers of opinion in its fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025 audits, exposing it to a dual delisting cause.

Trading has been suspended since April 2025, and with the improvement period expiration and objection procedures proceeding simultaneously, whether trading will ever resume remains uncertain.

Persistent Capital Impairment

Total equity was negative in 2022, 2024 and 2025, and even in 2023 stood at only about KRW 128 million. Operating cash flow was also negative in most periods, making it difficult for the company to improve its balance sheet through internally generated cash alone.

Shrinking Revenue Base

Consolidated revenue fell sharply for two consecutive years, from KRW 20.87 billion in 2023 to KRW 8.84 billion in 2024 and KRW 2.03 billion in 2025. The service transfer of the flagship title Mukhon Online to another operator raises concern that the revenue base could narrow further.

10

Risk factors

Delisting and Trading Halt Risk

The trading halt in effect since April 7, 2025 has been compounded by a new cause arising from the fiscal 2025 audit disclaimer, requiring the company to undergo both a listing committee review following expiration of its improvement period and a separate objection procedure.

Depending on the outcome, the path could lead to resumed trading, an additional improvement period, or delisting. Investors need to verify the timing and content of the final decision directly through official disclosures.

Financial Soundness Risk

Total equity has been negative for multiple years, reflecting capital impairment, and operating cash flow has been negative in most periods. Repeated rights offerings for debt repayment could lead to dilution of existing shareholders.

Business and Revenue Volatility Risk

As shown by the transfer of service for the flagship title Mukhon Online, there is an ongoing possibility that core revenue sources could be transferred or discontinued.

The China-partnership-based business may be affected by external factors such as local regulatory approvals, and as a small publisher, performance volatility tied to the success or failure of new titles can be substantial.

11

What to watch next

  1. Whenever the KRX listing committee's deliberation and decision are disclosed (timing not yet fixed)

    Check the final decision regarding delisting related to the fiscal 2024 and 2025 audit opinions. The key is whether the outcome is resumed trading, an additional improvement period, or delisting.

  2. Around the Q3 2026 quarterly report filing deadline in November 2026

    Verify whether the periodic report is filed normally and how the auditor's opinion on going-concern viability is updated.

  3. When any follow-up disclosure or revenue recognition related to Samgukji RED is released

    Check how much the new title actually contributes to revenue and look for additional information on user metrics or service continuity.

  4. If and when additional rights offerings or debt-to-equity conversions are disclosed

    Check whether additional capital is raised for debt repayment and the resulting scale of shareholder dilution.

12

Overall view

PangSky remains under a trading halt that began in April 2025, and a repeat disclaimer of opinion in the fiscal 2025 audit has stacked a second delisting cause on top of the first.

On the performance side, the return to operating profit in 2025 is a positive, but revenue continues to shrink, net income remains in deficit, and total equity has been negative in multiple years, reflecting ongoing capital impairment.

Potential upside factors exist, including the China network, the new title Samgukji RED, and participation in app-store fee mediation, but their effects have not yet been officially confirmed.

On the other hand, the continuing trading halt, the dual delisting causes, and the dilution burden from repeated rights offerings remain clear downside factors. At this stage, the stock's fate is shaped less by operating metrics than by the non-operating event of the KONEX listing committee's deliberation and decision. Investors need to verify the timing and content of the final decision directly through official disclosures.
