WEBTOON Entertainment Inc. reported mixed but improving first quarter 2026 results. Revenue was $320.9 million, down 1.5% year-over-year, but up 0.2% to $326.4 million on a constant currency basis as growth in Paid Content offset weaker IP Adaptations and Advertising. Net loss narrowed to $8.8 million from $22.0 million, primarily on stronger gross profit and cost discipline. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $9.5 million from $4.1 million, a 3.0% margin versus 1.3% a year ago, and Adjusted EPS increased to $0.07 from $0.03.
The company ended the quarter with $594.9 million of cash and cash equivalents plus $11.1 million of short-term deposits and no debt, after a $11.8 million operating cash outflow. Monthly active users declined 5.9% to 144.3 million as the company tightened its MAU definition to exclude automated and fraudulent traffic, while monthly paying users grew 2.2% to 7.5 million, lifting the paying ratio to 5.2%. For second quarter 2026, WEBTOON expects constant-currency revenue growth of 1.7%-4.6% to $332-$342 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $0-$5 million, implying a 0.0%-1.5% margin.

WEBTOON Entertainment Inc. will hold its 2026 virtual annual meeting on June 3, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Pacific. Stockholders of record on April 10, 2026, when 134,655,701 common shares were outstanding, will vote on electing three Class II directors, an advisory say-on-pay resolution, and ratifying Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers as auditor for 2026.
NAVER beneficially owns about 59.67% of voting power, so WEBTOON qualifies as a Nasdaq “controlled company” and uses exemptions from some independence requirements, while keeping a fully independent audit committee. In January 2026, a Disney subsidiary bought 2,666,757 shares for $32,774,443.53, or roughly 2% of equity, receiving approval and tag-along rights.
Compensation discussion shows a pay-for-performance tilt. For 2025, targets tied to app monthly active users, constant-currency revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin were partially missed: app MAUs averaged 80 million versus an 88 million target, revenue growth on a constant-currency basis was 3.9% versus 15%, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 1.3% versus a 5% goal.
Reflecting these results, CEO Junkoo Kim and CFO/COO David J. Lee received 50% of target bonuses, while other named executives received 60% to 80%, with higher payouts where the board saw especially strong individual contributions. A prior 2025 say-on-pay vote passed with over 98% support, and WEBTOON plans annual say-on-pay votes.
The company uses a mix of salary, annual cash bonuses and equity awards, including restricted stock units and, beginning in 2026, performance stock units that vest based on three-year relative total stockholder return against a peer group. Governance structures include separate audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees, director independence assessments, an insider trading and hedging ban, stock ownership guidelines and an SEC-compliant clawback policy.
