Devsisters said on Thursday it posted second-quarter revenue of 52.7 billion won on a consolidated basis, with an operating loss of 16.0 billion won and a net loss of 15.0 billion won.

Sales fell in the quarter as its live games entered a restructuring phase. Losses narrowed slightly from the previous quarter as management reforms progressed. Operating expenses reflected one-off costs, including a temporary rise in labor costs from organizational changes and spending on previously agreed marketing. The company said it expects its financial environment to improve from the third quarter as it manages fixed costs and tightens spending controls.
