Enterprise Solutions revenue increased 62% year-over-year, driven by strong performance across our businesses, supported by global expansion, enhanced product offerings, increased customer wallet share, and strategic inorganic initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA margin reached 23.1%, representing a 14-percentage-point improvement from 2023, reflecting the growing operating leverage of our solutions business. Notably, the proportion of AI Data Solution revenue within Enterprise Solutions increased from 14% in Q1 2024 to 25% in Q4 2024.

In addition, we completed the integration of our consumer channels — Yanolja Platform and InterparkTriple Corp. — forming NOL Universe, a unified platform that offers users a comprehensive range of travel and leisure services, enhanced personalization, and a more rewarding customer experience.

¹Aggregate TTV (Total Transaction Value) consists of two components: Direct TTV, which includes transactions where we earn a fee, and Indirect TTV, which reflects the transaction value associated with our Subscription and Data Solutions — indicative of the data we have access to, even if we don't directly handle the transactions. TTV includes intercompany transactions; as a result, individual components may not sum precisely to the total.

² Figures stated in USD are based on December 31, 2024, FX rate where $1 USD = 1,477.86 KRW.

³ Revenue excludes intercompany transactions, holdings and others, portions may not add up to total.

⁴Yanolja reports Adjusted EBITDA, a non-K-IFRS financial measure. As it is not defined under K-IFRS, comparisons with similarly titled metrics reported by other companies may not be meaningful. Segment figures may not sum to the consolidated total due to holding company and other corporate-level adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA for a given period is defined as profit or loss for the period adjusted for (i) income tax expense; (ii) depreciation and amortization; (iii) equity settled share based payment; (iv) impairment loss on intangible assets; (v) commission incurred outside ordinary course of business and other expenses; (vi) finance income and expenses, net; (vii) gains or losses on investments in associates, net; and (viii) profit (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by operating revenue.

⁵Year-over-year fluctuations are presented in constant currency, as Yanolja reports its results in Korean Won. U.S. dollar comparisons are provided for convenience and may be subject to calculation adjustments.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

To supplement Yanolja's consolidated results prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS), this press release includes certain unaudited non-IFRS financial measures, such as total transaction value, revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, for the corresponding period. These measures should be considered as supplementary information and not as substitutes for financial results prepared under K-IFRS.

It is important to note that K-IFRS may differ from International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and as a result, these non-IFRS financial measures may not be directly comparable to similar metrics reported by companies following IFRS. Additionally, these non-IFRS financial measures may exclude certain non-cash items and the impact of investment-related transactions to better reflect the performance of the company's core operations. Non-IFRS adjustments may also include relevant adjustments for the company's major associates based on publicly available financials or management estimates.

Yanolja's management believes these non-IFRS measures provide valuable insights into the company's operational performance by excluding items that may obscure underlying trends. However, investors are advised to consider the limitations of these measures when evaluating the company's overall financial performance.
