Organizers reported that the 2026 event, the 9th annual gathering of the convention, welcomed more than 170,000 attendees to the Javits Center, up from 2025’s 148,000 attendees “Anime NYC gave us a valuable opportunity to engage directly with North American fans and better understand the anime IP and games that resonate with this audience,” said Ryuichi Sasaki, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of CTW. “It also provided an opportunity to strengthen relationships with IP holders, publishers and other industry participants as we continue to expand CTW’s presence in the U.S. market.” Recent and Upcoming Additions to the G123 Portfolio CTW highlighted several recent and upcoming titles and content updates on G123.jp, including: · WIXOSS Multiverse: CTW confirmed a major update will reposition the title as an idle-style battle RPG featuring parties of up to six members, alongside newly illustrated character designs for more than 60 characters. The WIXOSS franchise has spanned anime, card games and mixed media since 2014.

Our participation in Anime NYC builds on that local presence and gives us another avenue to engage with fans and industry partners in North America.” CTW expects to continue expanding the G123 portfolio with additional officially licensed titles and content updates, while strengthening its relationships with anime and manga IP holders and growing its engagement with players in the U.S. and other international markets.

CTW Announces Financial Results for First Half of Fiscal 2026
TOKYO, JAPAN, May 13, 2026 – CTW (Nasdaq: CTW) (“the Company”), a leading game platform company providing global access to web-based games through its flagship HTML5 platform, G123.jp, reports financial results for the six months ending January 31, 2026 (“1H26”), highlighting the resilience of its asset-light operating model, which drove significant improvement in segment profitability and Adjusted EBITDA despite modest year-over-year revenue softness. 1H26 Financial and Business Highlights Revenue of $40.9 million in 1H26, a decline of 1% from $41.2 million in the six months ended January 31, 2025 (“1H25”) Segment profit increased 55% year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA increased 16% year-over-year, demonstrating the flexibility of CTW’s asset-light operating model and disciplined marketing optimization Launched seven new games on G123.jp; Crayon Shinchan My Sugoroku Great Strategy has become one of the Company’s largest titles by in-game purchases 35 games were live on G123.jp as of January 31, 2026, with 6 titles in pre-registration and 20 in backlog Opened a New York office to support marketing, partnerships, and user acquisition for international expansion Comments from Ryuichi Sasaki, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of CTW “Gross in-game purchases and revenue each declined by 1% in the first half of fiscal 2026 compared to the first half of fiscal 2025, primarily due to softer-than-expected monetization from new titles, ongoing lifecycle trends in legacy games, and moderated player engagement. While these results fell short of our expectations, the period demonstrated the resilience and adaptability of our operating model. CTW’s platform is designed to react quickly to changing user behavior and monetization trends. During the period, we identified underperforming titles early and proactively reduced marketing and advertising spend, which preserved profitability and strengthened segment margins. We believe this disciplined, return-focused approach is a key differentiator for CTW. Looking ahead, we are optimistic about the opportunities in front of us. We have already launched several new titles in the second half, including High School of the Dead and Kakegurui ALL IN, and early engagement trends are encouraging relative to our first half releases. Our upcoming content pipeline includes additional well-known anime franchises that we believe are better aligned with user demand and support strong monetization going forward. We also continue to prioritize international expansion as a major strategic initiative. While Japan remains our largest market, we see substantial long-term potential in other regions, such as North America. Earlier this year, we established a New York City presence to support localized marketing efforts, potential strategic partnerships, and broader user acquisition initiatives. We believe our browser-first gaming ecosystem, which allows players to access games instantly across devices without downloads, is uniquely positioned within the evolving global gaming market. While the first half presented challenges, we believe CTW is still in the early stages of a much larger growth opportunity, supported by a scalable platform, a strengthening content pipeline, an expanding global footprint, and broadening global interest in anime culture.” Results for 1H26 Revenue decreased 1% year-over-year to $40.9 million, primarily reflecting underperformance of new launches in the period, normal lifecycle trends of legacy games, and softer player engagement. Segment profit* increased 55% year-over-year to $18.0 million (37.1% of in-game purchases) as compared to $11.6 million in 1H25 (23.7% of in-game purchases), demonstrating meaningful margin expansion despite slightly lower in-game purchases. The improvement was driven by lower advertisement expenses ($18.8 million in 1H26 vs. $24.7 million in 1H25) and lower revenue share with game developers and IP holders ($8.2 million in 1H26 vs. $9.5 million in 1H25) and partially offset by higher server costs ($1.4 million in 1H26 vs. $0.9 million in 1H25) and slightly lower consolidated in-game purchases ($48.6 million in 1H26 vs. $49.1 million in 1H25). Net Loss was $1.2 million, or $(0.02) per share, compared with net income of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per share, in 1H25, reflecting increased public company and infrastructure costs. Adjusted EBITDA** was $4.3 million (10.5% of revenue), a 16.0% increase from $3.7 million in 1H25 (9.0% of revenue). * Further clarification and explanation of Segment profits can be found in the Segment Reporting section of the press release and at ctw.inc/investors. ** Further clarification and explanation of non-GAAP measures and reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure can be found in the “U.S. GAAP Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted Results” section of the press release and at ctw.inc/investors. CTW remains focused on improving content performance, expanding internationally, and maintaining disciplined capital allocation as it enters the second half of fiscal 2026.

Players will be able to enjoy these games on any mobile, PC, or tablet device at G123.jp, which offers free browser games without the need to register or download any game-specific app. Kakegurui ALL IN is based on the acclaimed manga and anime series that follows students at Hyakkaou Private Academy, an elite institution where social hierarchy is determined by gambling prowess. The series has garnered significant international recognition through its manga serialization, multiple anime seasons, and live-action adaptations. The game brings the franchise's signature high-stakes psychological warfare and strategic gameplay to G123, allowing players to experience the intense risk-and-reward dynamics that have made the franchise a global success.“The launch of our latest game, Kakegurui ALL IN, based on a highly popular manga and anime property with a massive global fan base, is part of the continued expansion of engaging, browser-based games available on our flagship platform G123.jp,” said Ryuichi Sasaki, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of CTW Cayman. “Since the debut of the TV series a decade ago, Kakegurui has developed a strong and passionate global following, with increasing traction among Western audiences supported by global streaming distribution and recent localized adaptations. We believe this title will resonate strongly with players seeking high-quality gaming experiences.”Mr. Sasaki continued, “This launch reflects our core strategy of securing licenses for compelling intellectual property and expanding our portfolio with games that appeal to diverse player preferences. We currently have 36 titles on G123.jp, including Doraemon Comic Traveler and Crayon Shinchan My Sugoroku Great Strategy, titles that are each based on legendary anime characters, and we expect to continue to grow our game library with additional popular franchises this year.”In addition, the Company recently launched Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Fantasia and expects to launch High School of the Dead Day 0 and Cute High Earth Defense Club Love Macho in the near term. Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Fantasia is based on the popular manga that includes an anime movie released in 2025. In this new role-playing game, Miss Kobayashi and her friends are trapped in the game world by a bug, and players need to help them escape. High School of the Dead Day 0 is a survival tower defense game based on the hit anime High School of the Dead. Players step into the role of protagonist Takashi Komuro and fight for survival in a collapsing world overrun by "them" — all while building and expanding their own base of operations.

CTW Establishes North American Presence With Opening of New York Office
TOKYO, JAPAN, February 2, 2026 – CTW Cayman (Nasdaq: CTW) ("CTW" or "the Company"), a leading game platform company providing global access to web-based games through its flagship HTML5 platform G123.jp, today announced the opening of its first North American office in New York City, located in the World Trade Center. The establishment of a physical presence in North America marks an important milestone in CTW’s long-term growth strategy and reflects the Company’s continued investment in expanding its global operating footprint beyond Japan. The New York City office is intended to support CTW’s efforts to capture opportunities in international markets outside of Japan where interest in anime is rapidly growing, including the United States and broader North America. “The rapidly expanding popularity of Japanese anime represents a tremendous growth opportunity for CTW,” said Ryuichi Sasaki, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of CTW. “In North America, and particularly in the U.S., we are seeing clear indicators of anime’s increasing mainstream adoption. These include broader anime catalogs across major streaming platforms, greater shelf space for anime merchandise at large retailers, rising manga sales reflected in U.S. book retail data, and a growing social media and creator ecosystem around anime culture.” Sasaki continued, “Establishing a meaningful presence in New York allows us to be closer to key stakeholders and to strengthen our organizational capabilities as we expand outside of Japan. With G123 firmly established as a leading anime IP-based HTML5 game platform, this step supports our disciplined approach to international growth and our focus on building scalable infrastructure to support future opportunities.” The Company expects to host an official opening ceremony at its New York City office later this year to commemorate the launch of its North American presence.
CTW Launches Doraemon Comic Traveler Role-Playing Game From The Beloved Franchise
TOKYO, JAPAN, December 15, 2025 – CTW Cayman (Nasdaq: CTW) (“CTW” or “the Company”), a leading game platform company providing global access to web-based games through its flagship HTML5 platform G123.jp, today announced that its subsidiary CTW Inc. (Tokyo, Japan) has officially launched Doraemon Comic Traveler, a full-scale online role-playing game (RPG) based on the beloved Doraemon manga franchise. Players can immediately enjoy the game on any mobile, PC, or tablet device at G123.jp, which offers free browser games without the need to register or download any game-specific app. Doraemon Comic Traveler is set on the mysterious Comic Planet, a world rich in manga culture, with a completely original storyline. Players can join the iconic five characters from the Doraemon series – Doraemon, Nobita, Shizuka, Gian, and Suneo – to use secret gadgets to clear stages and enjoy heartwarming interactions with the planet’s inhabitants, Comic Aliens. The Comic Aliens have a unique ability to transform into various characters from across Doraemon's Long Tales manga series. Notable appearances include Robble and Chammy from Nobita the Spaceblazer, Lyril and Zanta Claus from Nobita vs. the Mecha Army, and Kukul from Nobita’s Stone Age Japan, characters that all appear as allies throughout the game’s storyline. Doraemon is one of the most enduring and commercially successful manga and anime franchises worldwide, with a legacy spanning over five decades across comics, television, and feature films, supported by a highly developed merchandise ecosystem. Since its debut in 1969, the franchise’s central character—a futuristic robotic cat from the 22nd century—has become a cultural icon in Japan and across Asia and has been officially recognized by the Japanese government as the nation’s first “anime ambassador.” “The launch of Doraemon Comic Traveler is our most significant game release to date and is built on the strongest and most internationally recognized IP we have licensed thus far,” said Ryuichi Sasaki, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of CTW Cayman. “Millions and millions of fans grew up reading and watching Doraemon, and now they can immerse themselves with this cuddly character in the anime gaming world. This launch highlights our ability to secure premier partnerships and demonstrates our commitment to leveraging world-class IP to drive our growth. By aligning with a franchise that combines cross-generational emotional appeal, proven monetization potential, and a newly strengthened presence in the U.S., we are advancing our strategy to scale our global footprint and deliver long-term value for our shareholders.” In recent years, Doraemon has expanded its reach in the U.S., with films released in domestic theaters, strong visibility on global streaming platforms like Netflix and HBO Max, and increasing recognition among American audiences as part of the broader global wave of Japanese pop culture. This growing U.S. traction underscores the franchise’s ability to connect with new generations of fans and to deepen its commercial footprint in a key global market.

CTW Launches Crayon Shinchan: My Sugoroku Great Strategy Video Game Based on Popular Crayon Shinchan Anime Franchise
TOKYO, JAPAN, December 2, 2025 – CTW Cayman (Nasdaq: CTW) (“CTW” or “the Company”), a leading game platform company providing global access to web-based games through its flagship HTML5 platform, G123.jp, today announced that its subsidiary CTW Inc. has officially launched Crayon Shinchan: My Sugoroku Great Strategy, a video game based on the classic traditional Japanese sugoroku board game and the main characters from the popular Japanese manga Crayon Shinchan. Players can immediately enjoy the game on any mobile, PC, or tablet device at G123.jp, which offers free browser games without the need to register or download any game-specific app. Crayon Shinchan: My Sugoroku Great Strategy follows the mischievous main character Shinchan and his friends at Futaba Kindergarten who have decided to make their own sugoroku game with their own creative ideas. The game mechanics are very similar to a classic sugoroku game, where rolls of the dice allow player progression in the game. Players must collect “Action Coins” that can be used to enhance the buildings within each stage, a necessary step in order to clear each stage and progress. Challenge mini-games, such as those based on memory games or pinball, and surprise events that activate unpredictable and silly pranks can also occur on each tile that a player lands on while progressing through the game. A big part of the game’s charm is its rich and diverse collection feature that allows players to collect “Cosplay Costumes,” “Emotes,” and “Collection Cards,” all of which can be obtained for free. “Crayon Shinchan: My Sugoroku Great Strategy will bring the colorful main character Shinchan and his supporting cast to life as they navigate the world of sugoroku,” said Ryuichi Sasaki, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of CTW. “Having delighted fans both in anime print and in TV for over 30 years, Shinchan’s silly humor and antics can now be embraced by gamers across the world. This launch brings the number of games available on our G123 platform to 30 and continues to demonstrate our ability to secure valuable IP and work with the best third-party game developers in repeatable fashion to build a sustainably profitable business model.” About Crayon Shinchan Crayon Shinchan is a well-known Japanese comedy series featuring a mischievous five-year-old named Shinchan. The series humorously depicts the adventures of Shinchan, his family, friends, and teachers in a slice-of-life format full of gags and heartwarming moments.
CTW Announces Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results
TOKYO, JAPAN, November 17, 2025 – CTW (Nasdaq: CTW) (“CTW” or “the Company”), a leading game platform company providing global access to web-based games through its flagship HTML5 platform, G123.jp, reports financial results for the six months (“2H25”) and fiscal year ended July 31, 2025 (“FY25”). Financial and Business Highlights ● Achieved record revenue of $90.4 million in FY25, up 32% YoY, including 41% YoY growth in 2H25 ● Delivered net income of $3.8 million ($0.06 per share) and Adjusted EBITDA of $8.0 million in FY25, while actively advertising to support robust new game launches and scaling global operations for growth ● Launched seven new games on G123.jp during FY25, including the popular So I’m a Spider, So What? Ruler of the Labyrinth, bringing total active games to 29, with a robust pipeline slate for FY26 including 24 games in backlog ● Successfully completed Initial Public Offering in August 2025, raising $12.0 million in gross proceeds Comments from Ryuichi Sasaki, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of CTW “We are proud to have built the world’s leading platform that allows gamers to enjoy playing anime-based games without the need to download special apps or be distracted by in-game ads. Our strong fiscal 2025 results are indicative of our creative vision, strategic direction, and steady execution, all bearing fruit on an increasingly larger scale. Yet, I believe that our journey is just getting started as a public company.” “Revenue of $90.4 million in fiscal 2025 grew 32%, with accelerated growth of 41% YoY in the second half of the year as compared to the second half of fiscal 2024, reflecting high engagement with our platform and the success of our recently launched games. Encouragingly, revenue increased in all of our major geographic markets in 2025, confirming global interest in anime and in our ability to source and launch games based on compelling IP. This performance is in line with our strategic focus to expand our user base beyond Japan, our historically largest market, and into other regions, especially North America. Users outside of Japan accounted for 30% of revenue in fiscal 2025, up from 19% in the previous year, and we believe we can expand even further into other markets as anime increasingly goes mainstream around the world.” “In fiscal 2025, we launched seven new games, including hits such as So I’m a Spider, So What? Ruler of the Labyrinth and Arifureta: From Commonplace to World’s Strongest – Rebellion Soul. Together, these seven new games generated $32.3 million in revenue in 2025 and more than offset the maturation of other our existing games, consistent with the gradual tapering of activity for games that follow a natural lifecycle. This dynamic of continuously growing our business through new game launches and user-acquisition marketing is at the very core of our operating model. Our robust pipeline of new launches should continue to drive strong revenue growth in fiscal 2026 and beyond. Notably, the Doraemon Comic Traveler and Crayon Shinchan: My Sugoroku Great Strategy games are close to launch and are each based on rich anime history and represent the most valuable licensed IP in our corporate history. We expect strong global interest from gamers who are familiar with these main characters and healthy in-game purchases from each of those titles.” “We have invested considerably over the past year to ensure the scalability of our operations. Investments in R&D and personnel in Shanghai and Taipei, especially to strengthen our AI capabilities, have us well positioned for future growth. We have also made initial investments in North America, a large and relatively untapped market for us, and plan to continue this effort in fiscal 2026. While these recent investments may have masked our full potential profitability in 2025, they have also reinforced the foundation to prepare us for future profitable growth, especially when combined with our pipeline of games and our proven ability to secure valuable licensed IP and efficient user acquisition.” Fiscal 2025 Results Revenue increased 32% in FY25 to $90.4 million compared to $68.4 million in FY24, with the rate of growth accelerating in the second half of the fiscal year (2H25) to 41% when compared to 2H24. The strong revenue growth was driven by higher in-game purchases, which increased 27% YoY to $107.0 million as compared to $84.5 million in FY24, and lower revenue share percentage paid to developers which decreased to 12.2% of gross in-game purchases in FY25 from 16.1% in FY24. In FY25, CTW launched seven new games that collectively generated $32.3 million in revenue, compared to 15 new games launched in FY24 that generated $12.6 million in revenue. Segment profits* increased 16% YoY in FY25 to $31.3 million (29.3% of in-game purchases) as compared to $27.0 million in FY24 (32.0% of in-game purchases), as higher revenue was partially offset by increased advertising expense. While advertising expense increased from $52.4 million in FY25 (49.0% of revenue) as compared to $37.3 million in FY24 (44.2% of revenue), ROAS increased to 116.4% in FY25 from 99.3% in FY24. Net Income was $3.8 million ($0.06 per share) in FY25, as compared with $6.0 million ($0.10 per share) in FY24. In FY25, $3.2 million of net income was recognized in 2H25. Adjusted EBITDA* was $8.0 million (8.8% of revenue) in FY25, compared to $12.0 million in FY24 (17.5% of revenue). CTW maintained positive Adjusted EBITDA while actively supporting new game launches with increased advertising expenditure and higher spending to scale its global operations for future growth. * Further clarification and explanation of Segment profits can be found in the Segment Reporting section of the release and at ctw.inc/investors. ** Further clarification and explanation of non-GAAP measures and reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure can be found in the “U.S. GAAP Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted Results” section of the release and at ctw.inc/investors.

CTW Announces Financial Results for First Half of Fiscal 2026
TOKYO, JAPAN, May 13, 2026 – CTW (Nasdaq: CTW) (“the Company”), a leading game platform company providing global access to web-based games through its flagship HTML5 platform, G123.jp, reports financial results for the six months ending January 31, 2026 (“1H26”), highlighting the resilience of its asset-light operating model, which drove significant improvement in segment profitability and Adjusted EBITDA despite modest year-over-year revenue softness. 1H26 Financial and Business Highlights Revenue of $40.9 million in 1H26, a decline of 1% from $41.2 million in the six months ended January 31, 2025 (“1H25”) Segment profit increased 55% year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA increased 16% year-over-year, demonstrating the flexibility of CTW’s asset-light operating model and disciplined marketing optimization Launched seven new games on G123.jp; Crayon Shinchan My Sugoroku Great Strategy has become one of the Company’s largest titles by in-game purchases 35 games were live on G123.jp as of January 31, 2026, with 6 titles in pre-registration and 20 in backlog Opened a New York office to support marketing, partnerships, and user acquisition for international expansion Comments from Ryuichi Sasaki, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of CTW “Gross in-game purchases and revenue each declined by 1% in the first half of fiscal 2026 compared to the first half of fiscal 2025, primarily due to softer-than-expected monetization from new titles, ongoing lifecycle trends in legacy games, and moderated player engagement. While these results fell short of our expectations, the period demonstrated the resilience and adaptability of our operating model. CTW’s platform is designed to react quickly to changing user behavior and monetization trends. During the period, we identified underperforming titles early and proactively reduced marketing and advertising spend, which preserved profitability and strengthened segment margins. We believe this disciplined, return-focused approach is a key differentiator for CTW. Looking ahead, we are optimistic about the opportunities in front of us. We have already launched several new titles in the second half, including High School of the Dead and Kakegurui ALL IN, and early engagement trends are encouraging relative to our first half releases. Our upcoming content pipeline includes additional well-known anime franchises that we believe are better aligned with user demand and support strong monetization going forward. We also continue to prioritize international expansion as a major strategic initiative. While Japan remains our largest market, we see substantial long-term potential in other regions, such as North America. Earlier this year, we established a New York City presence to support localized marketing efforts, potential strategic partnerships, and broader user acquisition initiatives. We believe our browser-first gaming ecosystem, which allows players to access games instantly across devices without downloads, is uniquely positioned within the evolving global gaming market. While the first half presented challenges, we believe CTW is still in the early stages of a much larger growth opportunity, supported by a scalable platform, a strengthening content pipeline, an expanding global footprint, and broadening global interest in anime culture.” Results for 1H26 Revenue decreased 1% year-over-year to $40.9 million, primarily reflecting underperformance of new launches in the period, normal lifecycle trends of legacy games, and softer player engagement. Segment profit* increased 55% year-over-year to $18.0 million (37.1% of in-game purchases) as compared to $11.6 million in 1H25 (23.7% of in-game purchases), demonstrating meaningful margin expansion despite slightly lower in-game purchases. The improvement was driven by lower advertisement expenses ($18.8 million in 1H26 vs. $24.7 million in 1H25) and lower revenue share with game developers and IP holders ($8.2 million in 1H26 vs. $9.5 million in 1H25) and partially offset by higher server costs ($1.4 million in 1H26 vs. $0.9 million in 1H25) and slightly lower consolidated in-game purchases ($48.6 million in 1H26 vs. $49.1 million in 1H25). Net Loss was $1.2 million, or $(0.02) per share, compared with net income of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per share, in 1H25, reflecting increased public company and infrastructure costs. Adjusted EBITDA** was $4.3 million (10.5% of revenue), a 16.0% increase from $3.7 million in 1H25 (9.0% of revenue). * Further clarification and explanation of Segment profits can be found in the Segment Reporting section of the press release and at ctw.inc/investors. ** Further clarification and explanation of non-GAAP measures and reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure can be found in the “U.S. GAAP Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted Results” section of the press release and at ctw.inc/investors.

Players will be able to enjoy these games on any mobile, PC, or tablet device at G123.jp, which offers free browser games without the need to register or download any game-specific app. Kakegurui ALL IN is based on the acclaimed manga and anime series that follows students at Hyakkaou Private Academy, an elite institution where social hierarchy is determined by gambling prowess. The series has garnered significant international recognition through its manga serialization, multiple anime seasons, and live-action adaptations. The game brings the franchise's signature high-stakes psychological warfare and strategic gameplay to G123, allowing players to experience the intense risk-and-reward dynamics that have made the franchise a global success.“The launch of our latest game, Kakegurui ALL IN, based on a highly popular manga and anime property with a massive global fan base, is part of the continued expansion of engaging, browser-based games available on our flagship platform G123.jp,” said Ryuichi Sasaki, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of CTW Cayman. “Since the debut of the TV series a decade ago, Kakegurui has developed a strong and passionate global following, with increasing traction among Western audiences supported by global streaming distribution and recent localized adaptations.

Notable appearances include Robble and Chammy from Nobita the Spaceblazer, Lyril and Zanta Claus from Nobita vs. the Mecha Army, and Kukul from Nobita’s Stone Age Japan, characters that all appear as allies throughout the game’s storyline. Doraemon is one of the most enduring and commercially successful manga and anime franchises worldwide, with a legacy spanning over five decades across comics, television, and feature films, supported by a highly developed merchandise ecosystem. Since its debut in 1969, the franchise’s central character—a futuristic robotic cat from the 22nd century—has become a cultural icon in Japan and across Asia and has been officially recognized by the Japanese government as the nation’s first “anime ambassador.” “The launch of Doraemon Comic Traveler is our most significant game release to date and is built on the strongest and most internationally recognized IP we have licensed thus far,” said Ryuichi Sasaki, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of CTW Cayman. “Millions and millions of fans grew up reading and watching Doraemon, and now they can immerse themselves with this cuddly character in the anime gaming world. This launch highlights our ability to secure premier partnerships and demonstrates our commitment to leveraging world-class IP to drive our growth. By aligning with a franchise that combines cross-generational emotional appeal, proven monetization potential, and a newly strengthened presence in the U.S., we are advancing our strategy to scale our global footprint and deliver long-term value for our shareholders.” In recent years, Doraemon has expanded its reach in the U.S., with films released in domestic theaters, strong visibility on global streaming platforms like Netflix and HBO Max, and increasing recognition among American audiences as part of the broader global wave of Japanese pop culture. This growing U.S. traction underscores the franchise’s ability to connect with new generations of fans and to deepen its commercial footprint in a key global market.

TOKYO, JAPAN, December 2, 2025 – CTW Cayman (Nasdaq: CTW) (“CTW” or “the Company”), a leading game platform company providing global access to web-based games through its flagship HTML5 platform, G123.jp, today announced that its subsidiary CTW Inc. has officially launched Crayon Shinchan: My Sugoroku Great Strategy, a video game based on the classic traditional Japanese sugoroku board game and the main characters from the popular Japanese manga Crayon Shinchan. Players can immediately enjoy the game on any mobile, PC, or tablet device at G123.jp, which offers free browser games without the need to register or download any game-specific app. Crayon Shinchan: My Sugoroku Great Strategy follows the mischievous main character Shinchan and his friends at Futaba Kindergarten who have decided to make their own sugoroku game with their own creative ideas. The game mechanics are very similar to a classic sugoroku game, where rolls of the dice allow player progression in the game. Players must collect “Action Coins” that can be used to enhance the buildings within each stage, a necessary step in order to clear each stage and progress. Challenge mini-games, such as those based on memory games or pinball, and surprise events that activate unpredictable and silly pranks can also occur on each tile that a player lands on while progressing through the game. A big part of the game’s charm is its rich and diverse collection feature that allows players to collect “Cosplay Costumes,” “Emotes,” and “Collection Cards,” all of which can be obtained for free. “Crayon Shinchan: My Sugoroku Great Strategy will bring the colorful main character Shinchan and his supporting cast to life as they navigate the world of sugoroku,” said Ryuichi Sasaki, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of CTW. “Having delighted fans both in anime print and in TV for over 30 years, Shinchan’s silly humor and antics can now be embraced by gamers across the world. This launch brings the number of games available on our G123 platform to 30 and continues to demonstrate our ability to secure valuable IP and work with the best third-party game developers in repeatable fashion to build a sustainably profitable business model.” About Crayon Shinchan Crayon Shinchan is a well-known Japanese comedy series featuring a mischievous five-year-old named Shinchan.

CTW Announces Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results
TOKYO, JAPAN, November 17, 2025 – CTW (Nasdaq: CTW) (“CTW” or “the Company”), a leading game platform company providing global access to web-based games through its flagship HTML5 platform, G123.jp, reports financial results for the six months (“2H25”) and fiscal year ended July 31, 2025 (“FY25”). Financial and Business Highlights ● Achieved record revenue of $90.4 million in FY25, up 32% YoY, including 41% YoY growth in 2H25 ● Delivered net income of $3.8 million ($0.06 per share) and Adjusted EBITDA of $8.0 million in FY25, while actively advertising to support robust new game launches and scaling global operations for growth ● Launched seven new games on G123.jp during FY25, including the popular So I’m a Spider, So What? Ruler of the Labyrinth, bringing total active games to 29, with a robust pipeline slate for FY26 including 24 games in backlog ● Successfully completed Initial Public Offering in August 2025, raising $12.0 million in gross proceeds Comments from Ryuichi Sasaki, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of CTW “We are proud to have built the world’s leading platform that allows gamers to enjoy playing anime-based games without the need to download special apps or be distracted by in-game ads. Our strong fiscal 2025 results are indicative of our creative vision, strategic direction, and steady execution, all bearing fruit on an increasingly larger scale. Yet, I believe that our journey is just getting started as a public company.” “Revenue of $90.4 million in fiscal 2025 grew 32%, with accelerated growth of 41% YoY in the second half of the year as compared to the second half of fiscal 2024, reflecting high engagement with our platform and the success of our recently launched games. Encouragingly, revenue increased in all of our major geographic markets in 2025, confirming global interest in anime and in our ability to source and launch games based on compelling IP. This performance is in line with our strategic focus to expand our user base beyond Japan, our historically largest market, and into other regions, especially North America. Users outside of Japan accounted for 30% of revenue in fiscal 2025, up from 19% in the previous year, and we believe we can expand even further into other markets as anime increasingly goes mainstream around the world.” “In fiscal 2025, we launched seven new games, including hits such as So I’m a Spider, So What? Ruler of the Labyrinth and Arifureta: From Commonplace to World’s Strongest – Rebellion Soul. Together, these seven new games generated $32.3 million in revenue in 2025 and more than offset the maturation of other our existing games, consistent with the gradual tapering of activity for games that follow a natural lifecycle. This dynamic of continuously growing our business through new game launches and user-acquisition marketing is at the very core of our operating model. Our robust pipeline of new launches should continue to drive strong revenue growth in fiscal 2026 and beyond. Notably, the Doraemon Comic Traveler and Crayon Shinchan: My Sugoroku Great Strategy games are close to launch and are each based on rich anime history and represent the most valuable licensed IP in our corporate history. We expect strong global interest from gamers who are familiar with these main characters and healthy in-game purchases from each of those titles.” “We have invested considerably over the past year to ensure the scalability of our operations. Investments in R&D and personnel in Shanghai and Taipei, especially to strengthen our AI capabilities, have us well positioned for future growth. We have also made initial investments in North America, a large and relatively untapped market for us, and plan to continue this effort in fiscal 2026. While these recent investments may have masked our full potential profitability in 2025, they have also reinforced the foundation to prepare us for future profitable growth, especially when combined with our pipeline of games and our proven ability to secure valuable licensed IP and efficient user acquisition.” Fiscal 2025 Results Revenue increased 32% in FY25 to $90.4 million compared to $68.4 million in FY24, with the rate of growth accelerating in the second half of the fiscal year (2H25) to 41% when compared to 2H24. The strong revenue growth was driven by higher in-game purchases, which increased 27% YoY to $107.0 million as compared to $84.5 million in FY24, and lower revenue share percentage paid to developers which decreased to 12.2% of gross in-game purchases in FY25 from 16.1% in FY24. In FY25, CTW launched seven new games that collectively generated $32.3 million in revenue, compared to 15 new games launched in FY24 that generated $12.6 million in revenue. Segment profits* increased 16% YoY in FY25 to $31.3 million (29.3% of in-game purchases) as compared to $27.0 million in FY24 (32.0% of in-game purchases), as higher revenue was partially offset by increased advertising expense. While advertising expense increased from $52.4 million in FY25 (49.0% of revenue) as compared to $37.3 million in FY24 (44.2% of revenue), ROAS increased to 116.4% in FY25 from 99.3% in FY24. Net Income was $3.8 million ($0.06 per share) in FY25, as compared with $6.0 million ($0.10 per share) in FY24. In FY25, $3.2 million of net income was recognized in 2H25. Adjusted EBITDA* was $8.0 million (8.8% of revenue) in FY25, compared to $12.0 million in FY24 (17.5% of revenue). CTW maintained positive Adjusted EBITDA while actively supporting new game launches with increased advertising expenditure and higher spending to scale its global operations for future growth. * Further clarification and explanation of Segment profits can be found in the Segment Reporting section of the release and at ctw.inc/investors. ** Further clarification and explanation of non-GAAP measures and reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure can be found in the “U.S. GAAP Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted Results” section of the release and at ctw.inc/investors.
