“We wish to inform you that the Meeting of the Board of Directors of Nazara Technologies Limited (the “Company”) is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, to consider, inter-alia, the following:

1. Approval of the Un-audited (Consolidated and Standalone) Financial Results of the Company for the

Nazara reported a net profit of Rs 4 crore for the quarter ended March 31, a notable improvement from Rs 0.18 crore in the same quarter last year.

The firm reported a 95% rise in operating revenue, reaching Rs 520.2 crore for the fourth quarter of FY25. The rally came despite a significant rise in total expenses, driven by elevated marketing and employee costs.

Total expenses climbed by 85% year-on-year to Rs 527.7 crore, largely due to a more than threefold increase in advertising and promotional costs, which hit Rs 151.03 crore. Employee benefit expenses also saw a substantial jump, rising 80.7% to Rs 79.9 crore.

Nazara Technologies is an India-based gaming and sports media platform known for its games on World Cricket Championship, Chhota Bheem and Motu Patlu series.
