On February 11, international index compiler MSCI announced the results of its quarterly index review for February 2026. Zhejiang Century Huatong Group Co.,Ltd. (002602.SZ) has been included among the three new additions to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and added to the MSCI China A Index. This recognition is based on the company's stable operational performance, strong growth potential, and favorable market liquidity. The index adjustment will take effect after the market close on February 27, 2026, signaling growing global investor confidence in Century Huatong's investment value and development prospects.

As a leading global index provider, MSCI Inc. is a highly influential independent index service provider. Its series of indices serve as key benchmarks for institutional investors worldwide in asset allocation and value assessment, and are widely tracked by passive index funds. Adjustments to MSCI indices often attract significant attention from global capital markets.

The February quarterly review updated the list of additions and deletions across major index series, including the MSCI Global Standard, MSCI Global Small Cap, and MSCI Global Micro Cap indices. According to authoritative media reports, following the adjustment, the number of Chinese companies in the MSCI Global Standard Index increased by 21, the largest net increase since May 2023. As China's appeal grows due to technological advancement and trade resilience, the rising weight of Chinese equities in global benchmarks may prompt active funds to reassess their exposure to the world's second-largest stock market.

As a leading game company in China's A-share market, Century Huatong's continued recognition by international investors stems from its strategic focus on core business and consistently strong financial performance. Over the past three years, the company has been one of the fastest-growing game enterprises globally. In 2025, it achieved leapfrog growth, with key financial indicators reaching record highs.

According to the company's recently disclosed 2025 earnings forecast, it expects consolidated revenue of approximately 38 billion yuan, up about 68% year-on-year. Net profit attributable to shareholders is projected to be between 5.55 billion and 6.98 billion yuan, an increase of 357% to 475% compared to the previous year. Non-GAAP net profit and operating cash flow also showed substantial growth. Since 2023, the company has recorded 12 consecutive quarters of quarter-on-quarter revenue growth, with net profit doubling year-on-year for two consecutive years.

Media statistics indicate that among A-share listed game companies in 2025, four saw their market value increase by more than 200%, with Century Huatong's market value rising by 228.26%.

Behind this strong performance is the company's dual-track strategy, with significant growth both domestically and internationally. Overseas expansion has been a core growth driver, supported by a fully data-driven R&D and operation system. The SLG title "Whiteout Survival" joined the "billion-dollar revenue club" for global mobile games, while several other products ranked among the top-grossing Chinese mobile games overseas. The company also achieved breakthrough development in the casual game category.

Domestically, business remained stable with steady progress. Subsidiary Diandian Interactive maintained multiple products on bestseller charts, while Shengqu Games deepened its long-term IP operations, successfully transitioning classic PC game IPs to mobile platforms. Domestic business performance increased by over 30% year-on-year in 2025.

Looking ahead to 2026, the company has set clear development goals for its core gaming business. Overseas, it aims to consolidate its SLG advantages while focusing on casual games. Domestically, it plans to enhance精细化 operations of classic products and launch several key new projects. The company is also advancing its "All-in AI" strategy, building a self-developed AI platform to integrate AI technology into key business processes and improve development and operational efficiency.

In addition, Century Huatong has taken concrete actions to reward investors, repurchasing over 1.3 billion yuan worth of shares in the past two months, demonstrating strong confidence in its future growth.
