Summary

Mixi, Inc. reported consolidated financial results for the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, reflecting a period of contraction compared to the previous year. Net sales reached ¥135.4 billion, a 5.3% decrease, while operating income fell 15.3% to ¥47.8 billion. The most significant decline was observed in profit attributable to owners of the parent, which dropped 35.3% to ¥25.1 billion. This sharp decrease in net profit was largely driven by a substantial extraordinary loss of ¥7.59 billion related to the full amortization of goodwill for the Ticket Camp service. The company’s operations are divided into two primary segments: the Entertainment Business and the Media Platform Business. The Entertainment Business remains the dominant revenue driver, contributing ¥124.5 billion in sales, though this was down from ¥131.8 billion in the prior year. The Media Platform Business saw a slight decline in sales to ¥10.8 billion. A critical development during the third quarter was the decision to terminate the Ticket Camp service operated by subsidiary Hunza, Inc., resulting in the aforementioned goodwill amortization and an additional impairment loss of ¥131 million. Despite the decline in profitability, the financial position remains stable with an equity ratio of 86.9% and total assets of ¥176.3 billion. Cash and cash equivalents increased to ¥136.7 billion, supported by strong net cash provided by operating activities. The company maintained its full-year forecast, projecting net sales of ¥200 billion and a profit of ¥40.2 billion. Dividend forecasts were also reaffirmed, with a planned total annual dividend of ¥121.00 per share, reflecting a commitment to shareholder returns despite the non-recurring losses associated with the closure of the Ticket Camp platform.

Consolidated Financial Results for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2017

Mixi, Inc. reported consolidated financial results for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, covering the period from April 1, 2017, to September 30, 2017. During this six-month window, the company experienced growth across all primary financial metrics compared to the previous year. Net sales rose 7.6% to ¥93,256 million, while operating income increased 7.7% to ¥36,909 million. Profit attributable to owners of the parent reached ¥25,144 million, representing a 9.9% year-over-year increase. The company maintained a strong financial position with an equity ratio of 84.4% and total assets valued at ¥187,460 million. Performance was driven largely by the Entertainment Business segment, which accounted for ¥86,252 million in external sales and ¥39,087 million in segment profit. The Media Platform Business contributed ¥7,003 million in sales and ¥1,675 million in profit. Despite the positive mid-year results, the full-year forecast suggests a conservative outlook, with anticipated declines in annual net sales and operating income of 3.5% and 21.4%, respectively. This outlook factors in rising selling, general, and administrative expenses, including costs associated with the planned relocation of the head office to Shibuya Scramble Square scheduled for 2019. Strategic financial activities during the period included significant treasury share transactions, including the retirement of over 3.6 million shares and the repurchase of 1.5 million shares. Cash flow remains robust, with net cash provided by operating activities increasing significantly to ¥29,553 million. The company also revised its dividend forecast, projecting a total annual dividend of ¥121.00 per share. These results, prepared under Japanese GAAP, reflect a period of operational stability and strategic consolidation as the company prepares for future infrastructure changes and business expansion.

The Lifestyle Business, formerly part of the Media Platform segment, saw a sharper decline, with sales falling from ¥10,876 million to ¥4,393 million.

Consolidated Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2019

Mixi, Inc. reported a significant downturn in financial performance for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, characterized by a sharp contraction in both revenue and profitability. Net sales fell 31.7% year-over-year to ¥72,364 million, while operating income plummeted 88.6% to ¥3,076 million. Profit attributable to owners of the parent saw the most drastic decline, falling 97.5% to just ¥426 million. These results reflect a challenging period for the company’s core segments, particularly the Entertainment Business, where segment profit dropped from ¥34,297 million to ¥13,267 million. The geographic scope of these results is centered on Japan, covering the first three quarters of the 2019 fiscal year. The data highlights a transition in corporate strategy, as the company aggressively pursued acquisitions to diversify its portfolio into the sports and sports betting industries. Key transactions during this period included the acquisition of Chiba Jets Funabashi Inc., a professional basketball team, for ¥1,019 million, and Net Dreamers Co., Ltd., a sports media operator, for ¥15,000 million. These moves contributed to a substantial increase in goodwill, which rose to ¥18,481 million by the end of the period. Despite the current earnings pressure, the company maintains a strong consolidated financial position with total assets of ¥194,531 million and an equity ratio of 87.4%. Cash and deposits remained substantial at ¥124,196 million, though this was a decrease from the previous year-end due to investment activities and dividend payments. Looking ahead, the full-year forecast was revised downward, with net sales expected to reach ¥103,000 million and profit attributable to owners of the parent projected at ¥4,000 million, representing an 84.9% decrease from the prior fiscal year.

Consolidated Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2020

Mixi, Inc. reported significant growth in its consolidated financial results for the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. Net sales reached ¥87,737 million, a 21.2% increase over the same period in the previous year. Profitability saw a substantial recovery, with operating income rising 405.9% to ¥15,461 million and profit attributable to owners of the parent reaching ¥10,433 million, compared to just ¥402 million in the prior year. This performance was driven largely by the Digital Entertainment Business, which generated ¥74,027 million in sales and ¥31,731 million in segment profit. The company restructured its reporting segments during this period to reflect its evolving portfolio, now categorizing operations into Digital Entertainment, Sports, and Lifestyle businesses. While Digital Entertainment remains the primary profit driver, the Sports Business saw a significant revenue increase to ¥8,866 million, though it recorded a segment loss of ¥4,448 million. The Lifestyle Business neared break-even with a minor loss of ¥22 million on sales of ¥4,843 million. Financial stability remains high, with an equity ratio of 84.5% and cash and deposits increasing to ¥144,240 million. The results also reflect the finalization of provisional accounting for the acquisitions of Chiba Jets Funabashi Co., Ltd. and Net Dreamers Co., Ltd. These adjustments led to a significant reallocation of acquisition costs from goodwill to customer-related intangible assets. Looking forward, the full-year forecast anticipates net sales of ¥120,000 million and a profit of ¥13,000 million. The company maintained its annual dividend forecast at ¥110 per share, signaling confidence in its cash flow and long-term financial position despite the inherent volatility of the entertainment sector.
