Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and involves risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements cover all matters which are not historical facts and include, without limitation, statements or guidance regarding or relating to our future financial position, results of operations and growth, plans and objectives for future capabilities, ability to attract users in both our core and underpenetrated geographies, ability to grow Paid Content, Advertising and IP Adaptations businesses, the impact of our product development initiatives, including our use of AI, our financial condition and liquidity, and other statements concerning the success of our business and strategies. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will” and similar references to future periods. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. They are not assurances of future performance and are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this release are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: weakness in the economy, market trends, uncertainty and other conditions in the markets in which we operate, and other geopolitical or macroeconomic factors beyond our control; inability to attract, empower, properly support or incentivize our creators; inability to retain, attract and engage with our users; inability to anticipate, understand and appropriately respond to market trends and changing user preferences; failure to retain or increase our paying users; failure to effectively operate in highly competitive markets; inability to innovate and expand our Advertising business; inability to continue to diversify our monetization strategy or to increase revenues from IP Adaptations; failure to control our content-related costs; exposure to significant legal proceedings and regulatory investigations which may result in significant expenses, fines and reputational damage; failure to provide a safe online environment for children; exposure to claims that we violated third parties’ intellectual property rights; failure to obtain, maintain, protect or enforce our proprietary and intellectual property rights; exposure to liability and adverse effects from the use of AI; rise of conflicts of interests with NAVER Corporation, our majority stockholder; and other risks and uncertainties set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in other filings we make with the SEC in the future.

Additionally, forward-looking statements regarding past trends or activities should not be taken as a representation that such trends or activities will continue in the future. Other than in accordance with our legal or regulatory obligations, we undertake no obligations to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures & Definitions

This release contains certain financial information that is not presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS), revenue on a constant currency basis and revenue growth on a constant currency basis.

We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide users of the Company’s financial information with additional meaningful information to assist in understanding financial results and assessing the Company’s performance from period to period. Management believes these measures are important indicators of operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses, and they are consistent with how business performance is planned, reported and assessed internally by management and the board of directors of the Company. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as they do not reflect all the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP, and should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding or the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We strongly encourage investors and shareholders to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

A reconciliation is provided at the end of this release for each historical non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We encourage investors and shareholders to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty or without unreasonable effort non-recurring items that may arise in the future.

Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to remove the impact of interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, with further adjustments to eliminate the effects of loss on equity method investments, effect of applying the valuation method of fair value through profit or loss, impairment of goodwill, non-cash stock-based compensation and certain other non-recurring costs.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS): We define Adjusted Earnings Per Share as Earnings Per Share before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization with further adjustments to eliminate the effects of loss on equity method investments, effect of applying the valuation method of fair value through profit or loss, impairment of goodwill, non-cash stock-based compensation and certain other non-recurring costs. We calculate Adjusted Earnings Per Share by making the adjustments described herein from Net Income (Loss) and dividing by basic and diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, for the applicable period.

Revenue on a Constant Currency Basis: We define revenue on a constant currency basis as revenue adjusted to remove the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuations and the impact of deconsolidated and transferred operations. We calculate revenue on a constant currency basis in a given period by applying the average currency exchange rates in the comparable period of the prior year to the local currency revenue in the current period. We calculate revenue on a constant currency basis in each of our revenue streams – Paid Content, Advertising and IP Adaptations – using the same method as laid out herein.

Revenue Growth on a Constant Currency Basis: We define revenue growth on a constant currency basis as period-over-period growth rates of revenue, adjusted to remove the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuations and the impact of deconsolidated and transferred operations. We calculate revenue growth (as a percentage) on a constant currency basis by determining the increase in current period revenue over prior period revenue, where current period foreign currency revenue is translated using prior period average currency exchange rates.

1NASDAQ: WBTN Shareholder Letter WEBTOON Entertainment Q1 2026

2 Dear Fellow Shareholders, We are pleased to start the year with solid Q1 results as Adjusted EBITDA grew significantly by 132% year- over-year to $9.5 million, well above the high-end of our previous guidance range. Total reported revenue of $320.9 million was down 1.5% year-over-year, but grew 0.2% on a constant currency basis to $326.4 million, within our prior guidance range and driven by increases in Paid Content and Advertising, partially offset by a decline in IP Adaptations revenue. Net loss was $8.8 million in the quarter, compared to $22.0 million in the year prior, driven primarily by improved gross profit. Q1 2026 May 11, 2026

3 Our creators, users, and content drive a powerful global flywheel. By continually creating and publishing new and diverse content, creators on our platform help power our flywheel and drive the scale of our user base. In turn, users build relationships with creators through real-time feedback and engagement, interacting with our content and the creators themselves: a powerful formula for building fandoms and franchises. Every day, fandoms take shape around popular characters and stories, supported by our strong and diverse monetization engine that enables creators to make meaningful revenue from their work. This attracts new creators to our platform, expanding our community and deepening fan engagement — fueling a powerful feedback loop that drives even more content creation. We want to grow with our creators. We are investing in our creator ecosystem to scale our creator community and develop individual creators on our platform. Creators come to WEBTOON because they know that we can distribute their stories globally, and we have a track record of supporting creators beyond webcomics to launch their content onto the big screen. Our powerful IP & creator ecosystem has paid out billions to creators around the world, with $2.7 billion paid out from 2021 to 2025. This year, we are investing approximately $50 million in creator support and content discovery, reinforcing our commitment to a creator-first ecosystem. These are just a few stats that demonstrate how we are expanding our ecosystem, growing the creator economy, and executing against initiatives that benefit our creators. Another way we are expanding our flywheel is by building a broad, diverse content catalogue that caters to a wide range of reader tastes. In partnership with creators around the world, we are delivering a rich content lineup that extends well beyond any one single genre. Today, we host a massive pool of global Originals, user-generated content (UGC) from up-and-coming indie creators on our CANVAS platform, and some of the biggest titles in comics via our content partnerships. At the same time, we are also improving our AI-driven, personalized recommendation tools so that our users encounter a wide range of styles and stories, providing more opportunities to creators. We believe diversity of content, combined with improving recommendations, can drive MPU growth over time, as evidenced by another healthy quarter of 8.5% MPU growth in Korea. Investing in Our Creator Ecosystem to Power Long-term Growth Our platform serves both amateur and professional creators. Amateurs are hobbyists and enthusiasts driven by a love of storytelling; anyone can become an amateur creator on WEBTOON. These creators come to our platform to access our engaged global audience and for the potential to monetize their stories. CANVAS UGC creators are the foundation of our content pipeline: as amateur creators gain popularity on our platform, we can move them into formal creator agreements, which will allow them to join our Originals paid content program, where they can get a share of the revenue generated by users paying to access their content. This is our pipeline from indie to professional creators, and it has produced some of our biggest global hits. We have had success in cultivating amateurs and adapting their stories to reach a global audience. For example, Lore Olympus was originally published on CANVAS. It has since gone on to become a New York Times bestseller in print and is being adapted into an animated streaming series with Amazon MGM Studios. We spent 2025 listening to creators all over the world, piloting new programs that can help creators achieve their goals, and we are thrilled to expand these initiatives in 2026. We are pleased to introduce the next generation of CANVAS, bringing together our regional UGC services into a single global experience for the first time as a unified international platform. CANVAS will now support global distribution across seven languages — English, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Thai, Traditional Chinese, and German — making it easier Introducing Unified International CANVAS Platform to Help Creators Grow Their Audience and Earnings

4 than ever for creators to share their stories, grow their fandoms, and monetize their work all over the world. As part of this change, we will expand our Ad Revenue Share to all supported CANVAS languages, further incentivizing amateur creators around the world to start on WEBTOON. Readers will also benefit from a revamped CANVAS homepage experience, featuring improved discovery and personalized recommendations tailored to reading history and language preferences, making it easier than ever to find new stories to fall in love with. This change to our UGC platform is fueled by our latest innovation: our AI-powered Translation Program to reach new readers around the world in their local languages. Creators will gain more control over their international distribution and localization with the new opt-in Translation Program that allows creators to translate and distribute their series to readers in multiple languages. A beta version of the Translation Program rolled out in May to eligible English-language CANVAS creators before expanding to additional markets later this year. Powered by AI technology, the Translation Program is designed to help CANVAS creators scale their stories across languages and reach new audiences worldwide while preserving what matters most: creative freedom and control of their work, and a direct connection to fans. Our goal is simple: to give creators the support, tools, and opportunities they need to build the careers they dream of on WEBTOON. We will continue investing in creators and the tools that help their stories reach audiences around the world. Creators are the heart of WEBTOON, and everything we do begins with their passion, their stories, and their trust. We are pleased with our ongoing effort to bring iconic comics from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and 20th Century Studios, to WEBTOON’s mobile vertical-scroll format. Since the end of the fourth quarter, we have launched additional titles, including Star Wars: Darth Maul - Black, White & Red, Star Wars: The High Republic, Daredevil (2019), and Wings of Starlight. We are excited to team up with Disney to create Mickey x Formula 1®: Racing to the Top!, an original vertical comics series running exclusively on WEBTOON’s global platforms throughout the 2026 Formula 1® race season. The series launched on March 6 during the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix, with new episodes dropping each race weekend throughout the season. Designed for a new generation of fans, the series introduces new characters, themes, and scenarios that blend the creativity and imagination of Mickey & Friends with the excitement and drama of Formula 1. We look forward to introducing an additional original series later this year. Continued Collaboration with Disney Star Wars™: The High Republic Wings of StarlightStar Wars™: Darth Maul - Black, White & Red Daredevil (2019) Mickey x F1®: Racing to the Top!

5 In January 2026, we announced that WEBTOON Entertainment and Xbox teamed up to bring the world of Sea of Thieves to webcomic fans all over the world with Sea of Thieves: The Last Bite, an all-new, original miniseries now available to read on WEBTOON’s English-language platform. Sea of Thieves is known for incredible in-game storytelling, with an immersive adventure that keeps fans hooked. WEBTOON and Xbox held a limited-time, cross-platform event designed to bring readers and players together. Fans who read all five episodes of the series qualified for a one-month free trial of Xbox Game Pass Premium while Xbox Game Pass subscribers received a one-month free subscription to WEBTOON Premium. This series trended in the #1 spot on WEBTOON’s English-language platform during its launch week, received the strongest story feedback of any partner collaboration, and sparked significant fan demand for additional episodes. This is just one more example of how we help some of the world’s biggest franchises expand their worlds with webcomics, reaching new horizons worthy of the most enterprising crews. Partnering with Xbox on a New Sea of Thieves Original Webcomic Series IP adaptations play an important role in extending the life of content and connecting a wider spectrum of readers and works. This quarter, we made our first appearance at Series Mania in Lille, France, Europe’s biggest TV festival, where we co-hosted the world premiere of The Legend of the Kitchen Soldier, the only Korean content to screen at this year’s event. The series is scheduled to premiere in Korea in May 2026, with concurrent global streaming on Disney+ and HBO MAX in select regions. We were excited to see two of our Wattpad webnovels released as film adaptations on February 13, 2026, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Love Me Love Me was released on Prime Video where it reached global #1 during its launch week and has already been greenlit for a sequel. Kissing is the Easy Part was released on Tubi, building on our prior success with the Sidelined franchise on that platform. The Kissing is the Easy Part audiobook is set to come out in the second quarter of 2026 and the webcomic adaptation is in development for exclusive release on our platform in the next few months. Continued Progress in IP Adaptations

6 Prime Video Tubi Source: TVING Moving beyond screen adaptations, we are exploring new ways for our users to engage with the platform. We have seen encouraging early results with our AI-enabled Character Chat, which allows users to converse with WEBTOON characters. Our Character Chat precisely analyzes characters' personalities, speech patterns, and story information to stay true to the webcomic. Since launching Character Chat in Korea in June 2024, this feature has accumulated approximately 6 million users, and the cumulative number of messages exchanged between chatbots and users has exceeded 230 million. This service has also proven effective at driving consumption of original WEBTOON series. Among users of the "Seol Hyo-rim" Character Chat from Korea’s Star Three Shop, original episode views increased 97% when comparing one week before and after the chatbot's launch. Over the same period, the number of readers rose by 29%, paying users increased by 22%, and total payment volume increased by 44%. Following positive user engagement in Korea, we launched Character Chat in Japan in February 2026. LINE Manga currently features two characters, with more on the way. We also recently announced a partnership with Genies, a leading avatar company with an established track record of partnering with major sports and entertainment brands including MLB and Sanrio. Through this collaboration, we are developing AI-powered character avatars and digital collectibles that allow fans to engage with their favorite WEBTOON characters in new ways. Creators will have the opportunity to create fully interactive 3D versions of their characters, while fans gain new ways to connect with the stories and worlds they already love. We are targeting a summer 2026 launch for this program, with more details to follow. These character-driven features reflect a deliberate expansion of our move beyond just reading, to create a more engaging relationship between fans, creators, and the characters that bring our platform to life. While still early, we believe both Character Chat and our AI-powered character avatars will allow readers to immerse themselves more deeply into stories and characters, enhancing engagement on the platform. In March, we announced that Yongsoo Kim has been elevated to President to lead global operations. He has also been appointed as a member of the Board of Directors of WEBTOON Entertainment. Since he joined the company in 2022, he has built a successful track record, leading our collaboration with The Walt Disney Company as well as introducing significant initiatives in the U.S. and other key markets outside of Korea and Japan. Transforming our Platform into an Interactive Playground for Fans Recent Leadership Changes Focused on Accelerating Growth and Execution

7 Junkoo Kim Founder & CEO, WEBTOON Entertainment Inc. In Closing I am proud of our continued progress during the first quarter, and I’m excited about the path ahead. As we execute on the foundation we have set for the rest of the year, we will remain focused on driving innovation and growth while staying committed to our mission of democratizing storytelling for creators and users around the world. I am also excited about the strategic progress we have made as a Company and recognition we’ve received for our evolution over the past year. In March, we were named to Fast Company’s annual list of the Most Innovative Companies, appearing at No. 4 in the Media and News category. The recognition underscores our commitment to innovation, our role growing the global creator economy, and the success of our IP & creator ecosystem. This is our second time on this prestigious list, after a previous recognition in 2023. Our success is driven by the dedication of our colleagues, the creativity of our creators, and the passion of our users who come to discover and enjoy their work. We look forward to innovating further to bring even more great stories to everyone around the world. We also introduced other management changes during the quarter to accelerate execution and drive innovation, including shifts from regional structures to integrated global leadership and realigning our tech leadership and structure.

Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will” and similar references to future periods. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. They are not assurances of future performance and are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this letter are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: weakness in the economy, market trends, uncertainty and other conditions in the markets in which we operate, and other geopolitical or macroeconomic factors beyond our control; inability to attract, empower, properly support or incentivize our creators; inability to retain, attract and engage with our users; inability to anticipate, understand and appropriately respond to market trends and changing user preferences; failure to retain or increase our paying users; failure to effectively operate in highly competitive markets; inability to innovate and expand our Advertising business; inability to continue to diversify our monetization strategy or to increase revenues from IP Adaptations; failure to control our content-related costs; exposure to significant legal proceedings and regulatory investigations which may result in significant expenses, fines and reputational damage; failure to provide a safe online environment for children; exposure to claims that we violated third parties’ intellectual property rights; failure to obtain, maintain, protect or enforce our proprietary and intellectual property rights; exposure to liability and adverse effects from the use of AI; rise of conflicts of interests with NAVER Corporation, our majority stockholder; and other risks and uncertainties set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in other filings we make with the SEC in the future. Additionally, forward-looking statements regarding past trends or activities should not be taken as a representation that such trends or activities will continue in the future. Other than in accordance with our legal or regulatory obligations, we undertake no obligations to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. A Note About Key Business Metrics We define MAU as users based on each device logged in and each offering accessed from a single device and may include the same individual user multiple times if the user is logged in from multiple devices or if the user accesses multiple offerings from one device. We define app MAU as users who visited one of our mobile applications at least once in the applicable calendar month, averaged over each month in the given period.

17 Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures & Definitions This letter contains certain financial information that is not presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS), revenue on a constant currency basis and revenue growth on a constant currency basis. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide users of the Company’s financial information with additional meaningful information to assist in understanding financial results and assessing the Company’s performance from period to period. Management believes these measures are important indicators of operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses, and they are consistent with how business performance is planned, reported and assessed internally by management and the board of directors of the Company. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as they do not reflect all the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP, and should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding or most directly comparable GAAP measures. We strongly encourage investors and shareholders to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation is provided at the end of this shareholder letter for each historical non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We encourage investors and shareholders to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward- looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty or without unreasonable effort non-recurring items that may arise in the future. Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to remove the impact of interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, with further adjustments to eliminate the effects of loss on equity method investments, effect of applying the valuation method of fair value through profit or loss, impairment of goodwill, non-cash stock-based compensation and certain other non-recurring costs. Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS): We define Adjusted Earnings Per Share as Earnings Per Share Webcomic app MAU refers to users who visited one of our webcomic mobile applications, rather than our webnovel mobile applications, averaged over each month in the given period. We define MPU as users who have paid to access Paid Content in the applicable calendar month, averaged over each month in the given period. We define Paying Ratio as the ratio of MPU divided by MAU for the respective periods. We define ARPPU as average Paid Content revenue in a given month divided by the number of MPU for such month, averaged over each month in the given period.

18 before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, with further adjustments to eliminate the effects of loss on equity method investments, effect of applying the valuation method of fair value through profit or loss, impairment of goodwill, non-cash stock-based compensation and certain other non-recurring costs. We calculate Adjusted Earnings Per Share by making the adjustments described herein from Net Income (Loss) and dividing by basic and diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, for the applicable period. Revenue on a Constant Currency Basis: We define revenue on a constant currency basis as revenue adjusted to remove the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuations and the impact of deconsolidated and transferred operations. We calculate revenue on a constant currency basis in a given period by applying the average currency exchange rates in the comparable period of the prior year to the local currency revenue in the current period. We calculate revenue on a constant currency basis in each of our revenue streams – Paid Content, Advertising and IP Adaptations – using the same method as laid out herein. Revenue Growth on a Constant Currency Basis: We define revenue growth on a constant currency basis as period-over-period growth rates of revenue, adjusted to remove the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuations and the impact of deconsolidated and transferred operations. We calculate revenue growth (as a percentage) on a constant currency basis by determining the increase in current period revenue over prior period revenue, where current period foreign currency revenue is translated using prior period average currency exchange rates. ARPPU on a Constant Currency Basis: We define ARPPU on a constant currency basis as average Paid Content revenue on a constant currency basis in a given month divided by the number of MPU for such month, averaged over each month in the given period. As discussed above, we calculate revenue on a constant currency basis in a given period by applying the average currency exchange rates in the comparable period of the prior year to the local currency revenue in the current period and excluding deconsolidated and transferred operations. ARPPU Growth on a Constant Currency Basis: We define ARPPU growth (as a percentage) on a constant currency basis as the increase in current period ARPPU over prior period ARPPU, with current period foreign currency ARPPU translated using prior period average currency exchange rates and excluding deconsolidated and transferred operations.
