Nexon Group stepped up a restructuring of its business as it wound down virtual asset-related affiliates and newly consolidated a European industrial solutions company, after its revenue topped 5 trillion won last year.

An NXC consolidated audit report released on Sunday showed Nexon Group’s full-year 2025 revenue rose 3.8 percent from a year earlier to 5.18 trillion won. Revenue kept growing, but profitability weakened.

Operating profit fell 17.4 percent from a year earlier to 960.9 billion won. Net profit also dropped sharply to 85.9 billion won from 2.25 trillion won. The prior year’s net profit reflected a one-off gain of about 1.45 trillion won from the disposal of investments in subsidiaries, creating a base effect.

NXC continued its push to diversify its business during the period. In February, it acquired a stake in European industrial solutions company CLI Group (CLI Group B.V.) through its Belgian investment unit NXMH and consolidated it as an affiliated company. The purchase price and stake size were not disclosed.

By contrast, its exposure to virtual assets was adjusted lower. As of end-2025, virtual assets held by NXC totalled 147.6 billion won, including 2,356 bitcoins and 22,420 ether, down 15.2 percent from 174.0 billion won a year earlier.

Virtual asset-related affiliates were also streamlined. A unit was removed from the list of subsidiaries after the group sold its stake in overseas cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp, and it also decided to dispose of its entire stake in domestic cryptocurrency exchange Korbit through a board resolution in February this year.
