WEBTOON Entertainment Inc. is a global entertainment company specializing in mobile webcomics and visual storytelling, known for its platforms that empower creators and engage a vast audience worldwide. In its third quarter of 2025, WEBTOON Entertainment reported an 8.7% increase in total revenue, driven by growth in Paid Content and IP Adaptations, despite a decline in advertising revenue. The company recorded a net loss of $11.1 million, contrasting with a net income of $20 million in the previous year, primarily due to lower other income and higher income tax expenses. Adjusted EBITDA stood at $5.1 million, down from $28.9 million the previous year.
Key financial highlights include a strong balance sheet with $584.6 million in cash and no debt, alongside strategic partnerships such as a non-binding agreement with Disney for a 2% equity interest and a collaboration with Warner Bros. Animation to co-produce animated projects. The company also noted a decline in advertising revenue, which was offset by significant growth in IP Adaptations, marking a 168.7% increase from the previous year.
Looking ahead, WEBTOON Entertainment anticipates a revenue decline in the fourth quarter of 2025, with expectations of an adjusted EBITDA loss. Despite these challenges, the company remains focused on its strategic priorities, including expanding its digital comics platform and continuing to innovate its storytelling formats.
