On July 14, Perfect World released its semi-annual performance forecast. The company expects a net profit attributable to shareholders of 1.11 to 1.16 billion RMB, representing a massive year-over-year increase of 330% to 350%. Perfect World attributed this growth partly to its overseas business restructuring, including the sale of its North American R&D studio, which contributed approximately 400 million RMB in non-recurring gains.
Excluding these non-recurring items, the company's core game business profit for H1 reached 720-760 million RMB, an astonishing increase of nearly 2000% compared to the previous year. This news sparked intense discussion in the community, with many players joking, "'Ta-Ta' (a nickname for Tower of Fantasy) is definitely profitable; they aren't going anywhere with that kind of R&D budget."
In the comment section, users dissected the report. Some pointed out that the company might have used accounting tricks to defer last year's December revenue into this year's figures to inflate the growth rate. Others noted that while 'Tower of Fantasy' performs at a level similar to 'Honkai Impact 3rd', its post-collaboration revenue trajectory has been on a decline. Players concluded that while the game has successfully recouped costs, its long-term viability remains to be seen in future financial reports.
