KLab Inc. achieved a financial turnaround in 2014, moving from a 2.56 billion yen net loss in 2013 to a net income of 1.79 billion yen.
Record-high revenue of 21.37 billion yen was driven by the success of 'Love Live! School Idol Festival' and a strategic pivot to mobile platforms.
Apple and Google served as the primary revenue drivers, generating over 16.4 billion yen in combined sales.
Operating income of 2.16 billion yen was supported by aggressive cost-cutting, including a 15% reduction in personnel and a 73.4% decrease in subcontract expenses.
The company’s financial position improved significantly, with the equity ratio rising to 70.8% and cash and cash equivalents reaching 7.24 billion yen by year-end.
Net assets more than doubled to 9.08 billion yen, aided by 3.15 billion yen in proceeds from new share issuance.
Future strategy focuses on increasing hit rates through agile prototyping and expanding global reach via international IP partnerships and self-publishing.
