2024 Business Highlights
Aggregate TTV grew by 186% year-over-year, driven by strong performance across both our Enterprise Solutions and Consumer Platform. [5] Aggregate TTV serves as a key metric reflecting the scale and growth of transactions across Yanolja's businesses. Leveraging proprietary transaction data, Yanolja analyzes global travel trends and delivers AI-powered, tailored services through its advanced data platform. This growth highlights the platform's reliability and technological sophistication. The strong[5] aggregate TTV performance reinforces Yanolja's continued global expansion and strengthens its position as a leading and trusted provider of innovative, data-driven solutions in the travel industry.
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.

Notably, the proportion of AI Data Solution revenue within Enterprise Solutions increased from 14% in Q1 2024 to 25% in Q4 2024.
Consumer Platform revenue increased 6% year-over-year, supported by stable growth in both inbound and outbound travel compared to the prior year, despite macroeconomic uncertainty, domestic political and economic challenges, and unfavorable FX headwinds in the second half of 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.
1 Aggregate 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.
4 Yanolja 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.
5 Year-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.

The Slow Death of the Contemporary Art Gallery
The contemporary art gallery as we know it is dying. In cities like New York and Los Angeles, dedicated spaces that once buzzed with foot traffic and formal openings are now struggling with rising rents and changing expectations. The old model, where a gallery does everything for its artists, feels like it's falling apart. Big gallery chains, the ones built on endless art fairs, multiple cities and huge rosters of artists, are losing their grip. Last month, Tim Blum announced he would close his Blum & Poe galleries in L.A. and Tokyo and even stop plans for a new one in Tribeca. He was blunt about the reason: 'This is not about the market. This is about the system,'he told ARTnews, pointing out that collectors have more power than ever to negotiate. His decision echoes a wider feeling across the industry with many giving up on the idea of building giant gallery empires. You can see this shift happening at major events. The latestArt Baselconfirmed that galleries are showing more mid-priced work, not just the massive, ultra-expensive pieces they once counted on. A recentreport from Art Basel and UBSshowed that while the overall art market shrank last year, the number of actual sales went up. It's a clear signal that the business is no longer just about a small group of big spenders, it's now about reaching a wider audience at lower price points. 'The old model was built on scarcity and prestige. The new one runs on access and attention.' A significant force behind this change is the shifting demand for different types of art. The once-dominant 'blue-chip' artists, masters whose work commanded staggering prices, are no longer the only game in town. Collectors are increasingly turning their attention to 'red-chip' artists, a new class of talents whose value is built on viral hype and cultural relevance rather than institutional endorsement. These artists are attractive for two main reasons: their work is often more accessible and affordable, and it brings fresh, diverse cultural perspectives that feel relevant and exciting to a global audience. This hunger for new voices and unconventional methods is reshaping the market. A key example isOlaolu Slawn, a London-based artist who sold out his solo show,I present to you, Slawn, at the Saatchi Yates gallery in 2024 by creating and selling 1,000 individual, more accessible pieces, an approach that challenges the fine art world's focus on scarcity and prestige. A separate but related trend sees celebrities entering the art market with their own work, often commanding high prices based on their fame. Actor Adrien Brody is a notable example. His art, which he described is about celebrating the little nuances in life has sold for significant amounts, as per a convo withInterview Magazine. For instance, a painting he created of Marilyn Monroe was sold at a Cannes gala auction for $425,000 USD, illustrating how star power can directly translate into commercial value. However, his work has drawn sharp criticism from the industry, with critics often labeling it as kitschy and derivative. One critic writing forARTnewsdescribed his work as having a 'faux naïve aesthetic' and 'mediocre production value,' while others have accused him of cheaply appropriating the styles of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol. As the old guard shrinks, smaller galleries are finding new ways to thrive. In New York,Tiwa Galleryshows self-taught artists in a relaxed space, rejecting flashy Landddcombines Latin American crafts with immersive events. In L.A.,Marta galleryblends art and design right into everyday life. These new spaces care more about quiet, genuine connection than putting on a spectacle. Retail is also becoming a new kind of gallery. Stores like South Korea's Gentle Monster and London's Dover Street Market are blurring the lines between art and commerce, transforming shopping into an immersive cultural experience. Gentle Monster's stores are famous for their fantastical, ever-changing installations, from surreal kinetic sculptures to robotic figures that draw in visitors who are just as interested in the art as they are in the eyewear. Dover Street Market, founded by Comme des Garçons's Rei Kawakubo, is a 'beautiful chaos' where each brand and artist is given a dedicated space to create a unique installation, turning the store into a constantly evolving exhibition. By blending high-end retail with cutting-edge art and design these spaces offer a new kind of public access to creativity, making the gallery experience a part of a commercial transaction rather than a separate cultural outing. 'If your space is fueled by DJs and cocktails, maybe it isn't really a gallery anymore.' It's clear that going to a gallery is no longer the only way to see or buy art. Today, buyers can just scroll on their phones and purchase work directly from studios or social media. This instant access has replaced the slow dance of white-cube shows and champagne previews. Some galleries are trying to keep up, creating online art drops and hosting pop-ups in different retail spaces. But others are pushing back, as one veteran gallerist puts it: if your space is fueled by DJs and cocktails, maybe it isn't really a gallery anymore. Art isn't disappearing. It's just moving, becoming more accessible and less tied to one physical location. The old model was built on scarcity and prestige. The new one runs on access and attention. The question isn't whether galleries will survive, but which ones can change fast enough to matter.

Next-Generation Approaches to Hematologic Malignancies
Hematologic malignancies are cancer that affect blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic systems including leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma. These cancers disrupt normal blood cell production and immune function. The growth of the hematologic malignancy market is inspired by increasing the prevalence of global cancer, increasing target remedies and immunotherapy, progression in clinical technologies and expanding research in individual medicine. Additionally, increasing awareness, better healthcare infrastructure, and oncology contribute to more investment market expansion in drug development. Key Growth Drivers and Opportunities Increasing the Prevalence of Global Cancer: The increasing global spread of cancer greatly enhances the growth of the market of hematologic malignancies, as blood -related cancer, such as leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma, become a large part of cancer worldwide. As more individuals are affected by these conditions, there is an increasing demand for accurate diagnosis, advanced treatment options and long -term disease management solutions. In cases, this increase encourages drug companies and research institutes to invest in innovative remedies such as targeted treatment, immunotherapy and CAR-T cell therapy. Additionally, high cancer phenomena motivate governments and healthcare systems to increase screening programs and to reach oncology. Challenges Hematologic malignancies markets face several borders, including high cost of advanced treatments such as car-T cell treatment and targeted drugs, which can restrict access to patients in low- and moderate-income areas. Complex regulatory approval, long clinical testing procedures, and severe side effects or ability to resist also face significant challenges. Additionally, limited availability of specialized clinical equipment and lack of efficient health care professionals in some fields obstruct timely and accurate diagnosis, overall treatment affects results and slows down market development. Innovation and Expansion Kyowa Kirin and Kura Oncology Collaborate to Create Ziftomenib for Acute Leukemias In November 2024, in order to develop and market ziftomenib, Kura's selective oral menin inhibitor, which is being researched for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and other hematologic malignancies, Kura Oncology, Inc. and Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. announced they have formed a global strategic partnership. Kura will get USD 330 million up front as part of the deal, and it anticipates receiving up to USD 420 million in near-term milestone payments, including one when ziftomenib is introduced in the monotherapy relapsed/refractory (R/R) context. Merck Launched Phase III Trials for Novel Treatments for Blood Disorders and Cancer In January 2024, With the start of pivotal Phase III studies for four new candidates for solid tumors and hematologic malignancies, Merck's strong oncology and hematology portfolio is progressing. Essential thrombocythemia (ET), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), some patients with endometrial carcinoma who have already received treatment, and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) are among the conditions for which the company announced active enrollment for investigational medications. The firm is committed to ongoing research to broaden our portfolio of oncology treatments in order to continue addressing unmet needs in cancer care. The company has a rich history of transforming groundbreaking science into medicines that save and enhance lives worldwide. Inventive Sparks, Expanding Markets The key players operating the hematologic malignancies market includes, Johnson & Johnson Services Inc., Pfizer Inc., Novartis AG, AbbVie Inc., GlaxoSmithKline PLC., Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Inc., Celgene Corporation, F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd., Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited., and others.
