Cover of Consolidated Financial Report: Q2 2020

KLab

Consolidated Financial Report: Q2 2020

KLab Inc. reports consolidated financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2020 (January 1–June 30, 2020). Revenue rose to ¥15.95 billion from ¥14.81 billion in the same period of FY2019, a 7.7 % increase, driven by growth in the game business and other businesses such as research & consulting. Operating income fell sharply to ¥753 million from ¥1,305 million, a 42.2 % decline, largely due to higher cost of sales and lower gross profit margin. Ordinary income dropped 52.8 % to ¥568 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent fell 98 % to ¥16 million. Net income turned negative, with a loss of ¥44 million versus a profit of ¥21 million in FY2019, reflecting significant foreign exchange losses and impairment charges. Comprehensive income also turned negative at ¥254 million compared with a positive ¥932 million in FY2019, driven by valuation losses on available‑for‑sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments. Total assets decreased modestly to ¥23.34 billion from ¥23.67 billion, while shareholders’ equity remained stable at ¥17.29 billion, giving an equity ratio of 66.2 %. Net assets grew slightly to ¥17.29 billion, and the company maintained a strong liquidity position with cash and deposits of ¥6.38 billion. No dividends were declared for FY2019 or FY2020, and the forecasted dividend remained unchanged. The report covers Japan only, covering KLab’s core game development and ancillary businesses, with data derived from consolidated financial statements under Japanese GAAP. The methodology follows standard accounting principles without restatements or significant policy changes during the period.

KLab

Quarterly Financial Report: Q3 2020

KLab Inc. reports a robust third‑quarter performance for fiscal year 2020, with revenue rising to ¥26.36 billion from ¥22.38 billion in the same period of FY2019, a 17.8 % increase driven by its game business segment. Operating income grew to ¥2.25 billion, up 31.7 % year‑over‑year, while ordinary income reached ¥1.80 billion, a 14.9 % rise. Net profit attributable to the parent fell to ¥855 million, a 29.6 % decline, largely due to higher foreign‑exchange losses and an impairment charge of ¥498.9 million on investments. Comprehensive income for the quarter was ¥787 million, down 42.4 % from ¥1.37 billion in FY2019, reflecting a reversal of the valuation gain on available‑for‑sale securities and foreign‑currency translation adjustments. Total assets increased to ¥25.16 billion, with current assets up 13.8 % and non‑current assets slightly down due to a reduction in intangible software assets. Net assets rose to ¥18.49 billion, and the equity ratio improved to 65.8 %. Outstanding shares averaged 38.17 million, with no treasury shares held at quarter‑end. The company maintained a dividend policy of zero for FY2020, with no forecasted dividends. No changes to accounting principles were reported, and the effective tax rate was applied consistently across periods. The report covers Japan‑based operations for FY2020 (January 1–September 30) and compares results to the same period in FY2019.

KLab

Q1 2021 Financial Statement

KLab Inc. reported a sharp decline in first‑quarter FY2021 operating performance compared with the same period of FY2020. Revenue fell to ¥6,392 million from ¥7,420 million, a 13.8% drop, while operating income turned negative at ¥(505) million versus a profit of ¥37 million in FY2020. Ordinary income and profit attributable to the parent also swung from a ¥(83) million loss to a ¥386 million loss, reflecting significant impairment charges of ¥1.54 billion on software assets that dominated the extraordinary loss line item. Comprehensive income deteriorated to a ¥1,397 million loss from a ¥449 million loss in FY2020, largely driven by the same impairment and foreign‑exchange losses. Total assets decreased to ¥21.16 billion from ¥23.49 billion, with net assets falling to ¥15.24 billion and the equity ratio contracting from 70.5% to 72.0%. Cash and deposits were ¥6.38 billion, while current liabilities stood at ¥5.10 billion, leaving a modest working‑capital cushion. No dividends were declared for FY2021, and the company maintained its share‑repurchase program capped at ¥500 million. The quarter’s financials were prepared under Japanese GAAP, with no changes to accounting principles or estimates. The company’s segment analysis shows the game business as the sole revenue generator, with a reported impairment loss of ¥1.54 billion recorded in this segment.

Total revenue fell to ¥12.34 billion, a 22.6 % decline from the ¥15.95 billion recorded in the same period of FY2020, while operating income turned into a loss of ¥842 million versus an operating profit of ¥753 million in FY2020.

Net income for the period was a loss of ¥44.3 million per share, contrasting with a modest profit of ¥0.42 per share in FY2020. The comprehensive loss widened to ¥1.74 billion, driven largely by a ¥1.54 billion impairment loss on goodwill and other extraordinary losses.

Supplementary Explanatory Materials Regarding the Opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors on Shareholder Proposals: GungHo Online Entertainment

GungHo Online Entertainment’s board opposes all shareholder proposals presented by Strategic Capital and LIM Japan Event Master Fund at the 2026 Annual General Meeting. The board’s stance centers on preserving corporate value through prudent financial management and robust governance structures. For shareholder‑return proposals, the board cites that two proposals would divert roughly 57 % of cash and deposits to dividends or treasury‑share buybacks, deemed excessive relative to the company’s operating environment. GungHo maintains a balanced return policy: a 4 % dividend‑on‑equity (DOE) target alongside a consolidated payout ratio of at least 50 %, with an ordinary dividend of ¥90.00 per share for FY 2025 and a planned treasury‑share acquisition up to ¥5 billion (≈3.9 % of issued shares). The board argues that these measures align with capital efficiency and long‑term value creation. Governance proposals were rejected on the basis that GungHo already has a strong independent director framework—currently 40 % outside directors, rising to 50 % after the AGM—and that appointing an outside chair or chairman would undermine operational leadership. The board also defends its current dividend determination process, which allows flexibility between shareholder and board resolutions. Other proposals, including changes to remuneration disclosure, sales‑by‑title reporting, and investigations into alleged misconduct, were dismissed because GungHo’s existing internal controls, external audit procedures, and disclosure practices already meet regulatory standards. The board concluded that none of the proposals would enhance corporate value, justifying its unanimous opposition.
