KLab Inc. experienced a significant profitability contraction in fiscal year 2019, with net profit falling 85.1% to 383 million yen and operating income dropping from 5.0 billion yen to 1.7 billion yen.
Total revenue for the year declined by 4.8% to 31.1 billion yen, primarily due to the natural lifecycle decline of older titles and high operational expenses.
A substantial 1.3 billion yen impairment loss related to the title 'Magatsu Wahrheit' significantly impacted the company's bottom line.
The Game Business remains the company's primary revenue driver, accounting for nearly 99% of total revenue, with 'Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team' and 'BLEACH Brave Souls' serving as key international performers.
Despite reduced operating cash flows, the company maintained a resilient balance sheet with total assets growing to 23.6 billion yen and cash and equivalents stabilized at 6.7 billion yen through 2.3 billion yen in new long-term debt.
KLab Inc. projects a revenue recovery for the 2020 fiscal year, forecasting a range between 35 and 40 billion yen based on aggressive growth strategies and new title releases.
