HONG KONG, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DarkIris Inc. (Nasdaq: DKI) (the \u201cCompany\u201d or \u201cDarkIris\u201d), an innovative technology provider in the digital media and entertainment sector, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended March 31, 2026.<\/p>\n

Mr.\u00a0Zhifang Hong, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of DarkIris, commented, \u201cWe are encouraged by the continued momentum across our business in the first half of fiscal year 2026. Revenue increased by 13.9% year over year, while gross profit grew at an even faster rate of 20.9%, with gross margin expanding to 29.6%. These results demonstrate the underlying strength of our core business and our continued progress in enhancing monetization efficiency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis performance was supported by contributions from newly launched titles, sustained engagement across our existing game portfolio, and year-over-year growth in both our paying user base and average revenue per paying gamer. Importantly, despite the removal of one of our legacy titles, our newer games continued to attract and monetize users, reinforcing our confidence in the resilience and scalability of our product portfolio.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the period, we also made strategic expenditures to strengthen our products and support the Company\u2019s next stage of development. These included approximately $2.13 million of game enhancement costs for two games and approximately $0.29 million of professional service fees associated with our Nasdaq listing, which were significant contributors to the increase in operating expenses and the reported loss for the period. We view these expenditures as part of our broader effort to enhance product quality, strengthen our technology capabilities and build the infrastructure necessary to support long-term growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding on this foundation, we are increasingly pursuing a dual-engine growth strategy across gaming and AI-driven digital media. We expanded our AI and content capabilities through the commercial launch of our AIGC video platform and the acquisition of a portfolio of film and television intellectual property titles. We believe these initiatives broaden our opportunities across AI-assisted content creation, digital entertainment and IP-driven commercialization while complementing our established gaming business.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking ahead, we remain focused on scaling our game portfolio, advancing our AI-driven content capabilities and pursuing new monetization opportunities across both gaming and digital media. We believe the investments we are making today will position DarkIris to build a more diversified, technology-driven and sustainable growth platform for our shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n
