Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. General information

Background and nature of operations

DoubleDown Interactive Co., Ltd. (“DDI,” “we,” “us,” “Parent Company,” “our” or “the Company,” formerly known as The8Games Co., Ltd.) was incorporated in 2008 in Seoul, Korea as an interactive entertainment studio, focused on the development and publishing of casual games and mobile applications. DDI is a subsidiary of DoubleU Games Co., Ltd. (“DUG” or “DoubleU Games”), a Korean company and our controlling shareholder holding 67.1% of our outstanding shares. In 2017, DDI acquired DoubleDown Interactive, LLC (“DDI-US”) from International Gaming Technologies (“IGT”) for approximately $825 million. DDI-US, with its principal place of business located in Seattle, Washington, is our primary revenue-generating company. On October 31, 2023, the Company closed its previously announced acquisition of iGaming operator, SuprNation AB (together with its subsidiaries, “SuprNation”). The acquisition diversifies the digital games categories that the Company addresses with the addition of three real-money iGaming sites in Europe. Following the closing, SuprNation AB is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of DDI-US.

We develop and publish digital gaming contents on various mobile and web platforms through our multi-format interactive all-in-one game experience concept. We host DoubleDown Casino, DoubleDown Classic, and DoubleDown Fort Knox within various formats, as well as SuprNation’s three brands, Duelz, VoodooDreams, NYSpins, on web platforms.

On September 2, 2021, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing 0.05 share of a common share, with par value of ₩10,000 per share, of the Company. Our ADSs trade on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “DDI.”

2. Basis of preparation and material accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) as issued by International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”), and include the accounts of DDI and its controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealized gains or losses have been eliminated. Our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of those for the full year. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future operating results may be affected.

The significant accounting estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for the estimation method used in determining income tax expense.

F-6

The income tax expense for the interim period is calculated by applying the estimated average annual effective tax rate to the profit before tax for the period.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for the adoption of new standards or interpretations effective from January 1, 2025

New standards and interpretations adopted during the interim period

Amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of Exchangeability

The amendment to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates will require the application of a consistent approach when assessing whether a currency can be exchanged for another currency and, when it cannot, determining the exchange rate to be used, and the related disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of these amendments to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Basic earnings per share	$	9.62	$	12.24

12.2. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing profit applicable to owners of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding for the period. The Company does not have dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding. Accordingly, the diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are the same as the basic earnings per share.

13. Commitments and contingencies

13.1. Publishing and license agreements

DoubleU Games

We entered into the DoubleU Games License Agreement on March 7, 2018, which was subsequently amended on July 1, 2019 and November 27, 2019. On October 1, 2023, DDI-US entered into the Game Development Services Agreement with DoubleU Games, which supersedes the DoubleU Games License Agreement. Pursuant to the Game Development Services Agreement, DoubleU Games grants us, through DDI-US, an exclusive license to develop and distribute certain DoubleU Games social casino game titles and sequels thereto in the social online game field of use. We are obligated to pay a royalty

F-13

license fee to DoubleU Games in connection with these rights, with certain customary terms and conditions. As of March 31, 2025, we licensed from DUG approximately 50 game titles under the terms of this agreement.

In October 2023, we, through DDI-US, entered into a Game Development Services Agreement with DoubleU Games pursuant to which DDI-US will pay service fees to DoubleU Games for certain game maintenance services and product planning and user analysis services provided by DoubleU Games.

We, through SuprPlay Limited, also entered into a new game license agreement with DoubleU Games with effect from August 20, 2024. We are obligated to pay a royalty license fee to DoubleU Games in connection with these rights, with certain customary terms and conditions.

International Gaming Technologies (“IGT”)

In 2017, we entered into a Game Development, Distribution, and Services Agreement with IGT. Under the terms of the agreement, IGT will deliver game assets so that we can port (a process of converting the assets into functioning slot games by platform) the technology for inclusion in our gaming apps. The agreement includes game assets that are used to create new games. Under the agreement, we paid IGT an initial royalty rate of 10% of revenue for their proprietary assets and 15% of revenue for third-party game asset types. Effective January 1, 2019, we amended the agreement to revise the royalty rate for proprietary game asset types to 7.5% of revenue. The initial term of the agreement is ten (10) years with up to two additional five-year periods. Costs incurred in connection with this agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 totaled $0.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and are recognized as a component of cost of revenue.

13.2. Legal contingencies

On April 12, 2018, a class-action lawsuit was filed against DDI-US demanding a return of unfair benefit under the pretext that the Company’s social casino games are not legal in the State of Washington, United States. On August 29, 2022, DDI-US entered into an agreement in principle to settle the aforementioned case and associated proceedings, pursuant to which, among other things, DDI-US would contribute $145.25 million to the settlement fund. This agreement in principle received final court approval with the final contribution to the settlement fund made in June 2023. The Company recorded an accrual of $95.25 million for the year ended January 1, 2023, less $50 million for payments made in the fourth quarter of 2023, which was subsequently settled via a $95.25 million cash payment in the second quarter of 2023.

As of the reporting date, the Company is a defendant in three lawsuits seeking damages, filed in the states of Alabama, Kentucky, and Tennessee. These lawsuits allege that the Company’s social casino-themed games constitute unlawful gambling under state laws. The Company denies the allegations, contends its games are not gambling under the applicable law, contends that the case suffers from various procedural defects. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably predict the outcome of these legal proceedings and cannot estimate what impact, if any, the litigation may have on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

13.3. Director and Officers’ indemnification agreement

The Company’s maximum aggregate liability for all loss and expenses on account of any and all requests for indemnity under the Indemnification Agreement or any similar indemnity agreement with any other indemnitee will be $5,000,000 per every 12-month period.

13.4. Other matters

IGT Letter

In March 2025, DDI-US received a letter from IGT (“IGT Letter”) purporting to terminate the Company’s licenses to develop and distribute IGT social casino game titles throughout the United States. The IGT Letter cited the January 2025 public memo issued by the Washington State Gambling Commission (“WSGC”), where the WSGC encouraged companies

F-14

offering virtual casino-style games to Washington residents to review their games and ensure compliance with state gambling regulations. While the outcome of this matter is currently uncertain, the Company believes that IGT has no basis to terminate the licenses and that the Company’s distribution of the licensed games is not prohibited under Washington State law.

SuprNation Performance Based Compensation

Contemporaneously with entering into the definitive agreement, the Company also adopted an eighteen-month performance-based incentive plan for certain key employees of SuprNation, under which the key employees may earn up to a total of $6.5 million in addition to $5.5 million held in escrow, which vest over the eighteen-month period. The performance-based incentive plan is contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue and other performance targets by the acquired business and the continued employment of such key employees between 2023 and 2025. Such plan became effective at the closing of the transaction. In August 2024, $4.2 million of the incentive plan was modified to be contingent solely upon continued employment. During three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized total expenses of $1.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the performance-based incentive plan.
