Management Commentary
“Over the last several months, we have begun executing against the robust gaming pipeline we previously outlined, which has established a strong foundation for the second half of 2026,” said Snail CEO Hai Shi. “During the second quarter, we launched the ARK: Fantastic Tames Season 1 Pack and brought Bellwright to Xbox and PlayStation, with the console launch providing an important contribution during an otherwise measured quarter for new game releases. Shortly after the second quarter ended, we released three ARK DLC expansion maps: Tides of Fortune, Genesis Part 1 Ascended, and Dragontopia. These launches, together with our broader slate of planned ARK content, have established a strong foundation for the rest of the year. Additionally, we continue to invest in our next generation of internally developed AAA titles, which we view as critical drivers of Snail’s long-term growth profile. For The Stars and 9 Yin Sutra Immortal were showcased across select gaming events over the past several months, demonstrating meaningful development progress and growing visibility for these titles as they move through the later stages of development.
“Operationally, we have made significant progress across a new developing initiative that expands beyond traditional game development and publishing. Just last week, we announced our attendance at the Ai4 2026 conference, where we unveiled the AI Ranch initiative and our new product in development called Non-Human Player (NHP), an AI companion product for consumers designed to learn, adapt, and interact like a real human teammate. NHP is designed to deliver a personalized gaming experience tailored to each user’s playstyle. We believe this technology has the potential to address key challenges casual and hardcore gamers face while creating a personalized AI companion that can help players enjoy and improve their gaming experience across multiple titles.
“The outlook for the second half of 2026 remains strong as we continue to execute across multiple gaming pipelines and business opportunities. With a strong slate of ARK content through 2027, meaningful progress across three upcoming AAA titles, and the introduction of new business initiatives, we are well-positioned to support the transformation of Snail’s profile over the next several quarters.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Snail believes Bookings and EBITDA, as non-GAAP measures, are useful in evaluating its operating performance. Bookings and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that are presented as supplemental disclosures and should not be construed as alternatives to net income (loss) or revenue as indicators of operating performance, nor as alternatives to cash flow provided by operating activities as measures of liquidity, both as determined in accordance with GAAP. Snail supplementally presents Bookings and EBITDA because they are key operating measures used by management to assess financial performance. Bookings adjusts for the impact of deferrals and, Snail believes, provides a useful indicator of sales in a given period. Management believes Bookings and EBITDA are useful to investors and analysts in highlighting trends in Snail’s operating performance. At the same time, other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which Snail operates, and capital investments.
Bookings is defined as the net amount of products and services sold digitally or physically in the period. Bookings is equal to revenues, excluding the impact from deferrals. Below is a reconciliation of total net revenue to Bookings, the closest GAAP financial measure.
