This decline may reflect challenges faced by the company in terms of market competition, product demand, or the overall economic environment.

Key Financial Data

1. Snail Games' operating revenue decreased from RMB2.8570222 billion in 2023 to RMB2.6214296 billion in 2024, a decrease of 8.25%. This indicates that the company faced certain revenue pressure during the reporting period, which may have affected its profitability and market performance.

2. Intensified competition in the gaming industry may have led to a decrease in Snail Games' market share, affecting its operating revenue.

3. Delayed product updates. If the company fails to keep up with market demand in terms of new product releases or existing product updates, it may lead to customer loss and revenue decline.

4. Uncertainty in the macroeconomic factors may affect consumers' spending willingness, in turn affecting the company's sales revenue.

5. Slowing user growth, with a decrease in user growth rate, may lead to a natural decline in revenue, especially under a user-based revenue model.

6. Even if marketing expenses may increase, if they fail to effectively translate into sales, it may result in revenue falling short of expectations.

Peer Comparison

1. Industry-wide analysis: The gaming industry as a whole faces challenges such as rising user acquisition costs and market saturation, with an overall trend showing increased demand for new content and user experience, which may lead to weak revenue growth.

2. Peer evaluation analysis: Snail Games' operating revenue decline is in the middle-to-upper range of the industry, indicating that its competitive disadvantage may be exacerbated. Compared with other companies in the industry, Snail Games' revenue decline may reflect its lack of product or brand influence, requiring stronger market strategies and product innovation.

Conclusion

Snail Games' financial performance in 2024 shows a significant decline in revenue, reflecting the pressure faced by the company in the fiercely competitive gaming market. Although the company launched new games such as "Western Showdown" and "Ark: Survival Ascension" and increased marketing expenses, these measures failed to effectively offset the revenue decline trend. Overall, Snail Games needs to make deeper adjustments in product innovation and marketing strategies to regain revenue growth momentum.

Opportunities

1. Snail Games' new games such as "Western Showdown" and "Ark: Survival Ascension" performed well in the market, which may bring new revenue sources for the company.

2. With the counter-cyclical growth of the Chinese gaming market, Snail Games can seek more development opportunities in the domestic market.

3. The company can enhance its brand influence and market share by strengthening cooperation with emerging platforms.

Risks

1. Intensified competition, especially in the survival games and role-playing game sectors, may lead to further decline in Snail Games' market share.

2. Uncertainty in the overall economic environment may affect consumers' spending willingness, in turn affecting the company's sales revenue.

3. If new game releases fail to meet expectations, it may lead to continued revenue decline, increasing the company's financial pressure.
