First-pass take

Gaming art outsourcing lacks AI exposure; growth is traditional game development-driven. Gross margin expanded 230bps but Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 100bps due to M&A integration costs. Strong net cash (US$25.6M, zero debt) provides downside protection, but pro-cyclical business with 39% China revenue concentration and declining repeat revenue (44%→39%) limit defensiveness.
