The company's fourth-quarter earnings per share (EPS) reached NT$2.1, with full-year EPS hitting NT$5.54, the highest in the past three years. According to the recently approved financial report by the board of directors, a dividend of NT$4 per share will be distributed, representing a dividend yield of 5.0% based on the day's closing price.

A key development for USERJOY in 2025 is the acquisition, in partnership with Zhi Bao International, of the publishing rights for the Traditional Chinese PC version of "FINAL FANTASY XIV" in the Asian region, covering Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, and Malaysia. USERJOY has pledged to deliver an optimal player experience and is scheduled to host a game launch event and player meet-and-greet on March 30th.

"FINAL FANTASY XIV," a globally popular MMORPG with over 30 million players, continually releases updates and expansion content. This extensive player base is expected to positively impact USERJOY's revenue for the year. USERJOY's full-year revenue for 2024 reached NT$1.393 billion, a 1.9% increase from the previous year. Net profit after tax rose by 37.38% to NT$294 million. The company also announced a capital increase from retained earnings, totaling NT$53.11 million.
