GDEV Inc. reported preliminary, unaudited results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31 2025, showing a 4 % decline in total revenue to $404 million and a 17 % rise in net profit to $69 million. Quarterly revenue fell 8 % to $90 million, while Q4 net profit jumped from $2 million in 2024 to $14 million, a 600 % increase.
The revenue dip reflects a broader slowdown in consumer spending and a strategic shift toward higher‑margin, lower‑commission platforms. GDEV’s mix moved toward PC and web bookings, which carry lower commission rates, contributing to the 8 % YoY decline. Management noted that this mix shift, combined with reduced marketing spend, has helped preserve profitability.
Profitability gains are driven by disciplined cost controls and a deliberate reduction in marketing spend. Operating cash flow remained robust, rising to $18 million in Q4 and $29 million for the year, underscoring the company’s ability to generate cash even as top‑line growth slows. The company also highlighted ongoing investment in IT infrastructure to support its platform strategy.
Comparing to the prior year, Q4 2024 revenue was $98 million and net profit $2 million, while full‑year 2024 revenue was $421 million and net profit $26 million. The current results therefore represent a significant turnaround in profitability, even as revenue growth decelerates.
GDEV’s management emphasized a continued focus on improving the efficiency of user acquisition, a shift toward more disciplined marketing, and higher‑quality users. The company’s strategy centers on sustaining margin expansion while navigating a challenging consumer spending environment, positioning it for long‑term profitability.
