Summary of Financial Results for Third Quarter of Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2025

KLab Inc. experienced a significant downturn during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, characterized by an 18.6% year-over-year revenue decline to ¥4.93 billion. This contraction was primarily driven by weakening performance in established titles such as Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team and a general decrease in income from paid users within the game business. Despite aggressive cost-cutting measures and a ¥1.57 billion gain from the sale of investment securities, the company recorded a substantial net loss of ¥3.97 billion. This loss was largely precipitated by a massive ¥4.42 billion impairment charge on software assets related to EA SPORTS FC™ TACTICAL and a reduction in goodwill following the divestment of GlobalGear Co. Ltd. The financial strain resulted in a decrease of over ¥3.1 billion in total net assets, though the company mitigated some impact by raising approximately ¥719 million through the exercise of stock acquisition rights. While four consecutive years of operating deficits have prompted scrutiny regarding the company’s status as a going concern, management asserts that no material uncertainty exists. This confidence is based on steady progress with major intellectual properties, including Dragon Quest and My Hero Academia, alongside a strategic pivot toward generative AI and blockchain ventures to diversify future revenue streams. Operating within the Japanese market during a period of rapid industry volatility, the company has withheld future performance forecasts. The current strategy focuses on maintaining liquidity through strict cost controls and asset sales while transitioning the business model to leverage emerging technologies. Despite the current net losses and the impairment of software in progress, the segment profit of ¥592 million suggests that core operations remain functional as the group attempts to stabilize its capital position and return to long-term profitability.

Summary of Financial Results for Second Quarter (First Half) of Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2025

KLab Inc. experienced a challenging first half of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, characterized by a 12.9% year-over-year revenue decline to 3,161 million yen and a substantial net loss of 4,748 million yen. This loss was primarily driven by a 4.43 billion yen impairment on software in progress, which contributed to a sharp reduction in total assets from 15.7 billion yen to 10.9 billion yen. Despite these pressures, the game business segment achieved a profit of 313 million yen, and operating losses showed slight improvement compared to the previous year. Due to ongoing volatility and the difficulty of projecting future performance, no full-year forecast has been provided, and interim dividends have been suspended. To stabilize its financial position and pivot its corporate strategy, the firm executed several capital-raising and restructuring initiatives. These included the sale of the subsidiary GlobalGear for 1.1 billion yen and the issuance of new stock acquisition rights. These rights are tied to rigorous performance hurdles, requiring the company to achieve over 1,000 million yen in non-game revenue and a market capitalization exceeding 10 billion yen before they can be exercised. These measures are designed to incentivize a recovery in market value and diversify revenue streams beyond traditional mobile gaming. Management remains focused on achieving profitability through aggressive cost-cutting, workforce optimization, and a refined development pipeline. While the company has faced four consecutive years of operating deficits and delays in the release of EA SPORTS FC™ TACTICAL, it maintains that there is no material uncertainty regarding its status as a going concern. Future growth is predicated on the successful launch of new projects, including a My Hero Academia title and an expansion into the hybrid casual gaming market. This strategic shift aims to balance the high-risk nature of major game development with more sustainable, diversified business operations.

FY03/2026 1Q Consolidated Financial Results: Japan

Drecom Co., Ltd. reported its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026, covering the period from April 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025. The company’s primary mission centers on global entertainment expansion through the integration of intellectual property and technology. The financial results reflect a period of significant revenue growth offset by substantial impairment losses, leading to a net loss for the quarter. Total revenue for the first quarter reached 4,466 million yen, representing a 110.4% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. This growth was largely driven by the performance of the mobile game title Wizardry Variants Daphne. Despite this revenue surge, the company recorded an operating loss of 81 million yen and an ordinary loss of 107 million yen. A major factor in the quarterly performance was an extraordinary impairment loss of 1,563 million yen, attributed to the reassessment of future earnings for a mobile game title released in the previous fiscal year that performed below expectations. Consequently, the quarterly net loss attributable to owners of the parent company totaled 1,799 million yen. The company operates across two primary segments: the Game Business and the Content Business. The Game Business generated 4,327 million yen in sales, though segment profit declined by 51.6% due to increased variable and fixed costs associated with new title releases. The Content Business, which focuses on publishing and merchandise, saw revenue rise to 155 million yen, with a reduced segment loss of 204 million yen as the company continues to invest in new business areas. Following these results, the company has revised its full-year consolidated earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 2026.

Summary of Financial Results for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2024 (Japanese GAAP)

KLab Inc. experienced a significant financial downturn during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, characterized by a 22.5% year-over-year revenue decline to 8.3 billion yen. This contraction led to a net loss of 2.78 billion yen, a substantial increase from the 1.82 billion yen loss recorded in the previous year. The downturn was primarily driven by a reduced portfolio of active titles and the delayed global launch of EA SPORTS FC™ TACTICAL due to retention challenges. While established titles like Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team and BLEACH Brave Souls remained stable, the company faced 1.14 billion yen in extraordinary losses, including significant software impairments and valuation losses on investment securities. The company’s financial position weakened as it marked its fourth consecutive year of operating deficits, resulting in a breach of financial covenants and a 2.8 billion yen decrease in retained earnings. Total net assets fell to 10.37 billion yen, while cash equivalents dropped to 1.61 billion yen. In response to these challenges, the business narrowed its strategic focus to the core Game Business segment, effectively deconsolidating its blockchain-related operations through the partial sale of BLOCKSMITH&Co. Despite the fiscal strain, investment in software in progress increased by 1.4 billion yen to support three major global IP projects, including a title based on the My Hero Academia franchise. To address concerns regarding its status as a going concern, the company secured approximately 2.8 billion yen in funding through third-party allotments and unsecured bonds in early 2025. Management has implemented rigorous cost controls and personnel restructuring to mitigate ongoing losses. However, due to the complexity and scale of its lead development projects, no earnings forecast has been provided for the 2025 fiscal year. The company remains reliant on the successful launch of its upcoming pipeline to stabilize its long-term financial health and recover from its current liquidity constraints.

FY2025 Second Quarter Financial Results

GREE Group achieved strong second-quarter results for fiscal year 2025, recording consolidated net sales of ¥15.6 billion and an operating profit of ¥2.2 billion. This performance was primarily fueled by successful anniversary events within the Game and Anime segment and substantial dividends from the Investment Business. While the core operational segments—Game and Anime, Metaverse, and DX—generated ¥13.7 billion in sales, the company issued a conservative downward revision for the full-year forecast. This adjustment reflects anticipated year-over-year declines in sales and profit due to delayed new title releases and rising development costs for console games. The Game and Anime business remains a cornerstone of the group's portfolio, surpassing internal expectations in the second quarter with an operating profit of ¥1.21 billion. Simultaneously, the Metaverse segment demonstrated robust growth, particularly through its VTuber business, which saw a 211% year-over-year sales increase. The DX Business is currently in a transitional investment phase, shifting from project-based work to a recurring-earnings SaaS model. Although these investments are expected to temporarily suppress short-term margins, the group maintains an aggressive medium-term target of a 41% profit CAGR through fiscal year 2027. The Investment Business provided significant volatility and upside, contributing to a major quarterly surge in profit through fund dividends. With ¥49.6 billion in assets under management, this segment is increasingly focused on third-party capital management while maintaining a portfolio that consistently outperforms venture capital benchmarks. Geographically centered on the Japanese market but expanding its digital reach, the group is balancing long-term stability in its legacy segments with high-growth trajectories in its emerging Metaverse and DX operations, underpinned by a commitment to sustainability and internet safety.

FY2025 First Quarter Financial Results

The first quarter of FY2025 reflects a transitional period characterized by a strategic shift toward recurring revenue models and significant investments in future growth. Net sales reached ¥12.9 billion, though the period saw a slight operating loss of ¥0.1 billion. This performance was primarily influenced by valuation losses within the investment business and increased promotional spending. While the game and anime segment faced short-term headwinds due to the natural decline of existing live-service titles, the metaverse and digital transformation segments demonstrated resilient growth, exceeding internal expectations and providing a counterbalance to volatility in other areas. The game and anime business remains the primary revenue driver despite a 27% year-over-year sales decline in the first quarter. Management anticipates a recovery in the second quarter fueled by major anniversary events and the successful international expansion of key titles like Heaven Burns Red. Looking ahead, the pipeline includes four new titles slated for FY2026 and beyond, including a first-party console IP. Simultaneously, the metaverse segment is emerging as a high-growth pillar, with the VTuber business reporting a 71% year-over-year increase in sales. Although aggressive investment in talent and platform features will temporarily suppress quarterly profits, the segment is positioned for a significant profit contribution by FY2027. Financial stability remains a core strength, supported by total assets of ¥120.7 billion and a net cash position of ¥22.8 billion. Although the full-year forecast for FY2025 has been revised downward to ¥58.0 billion in sales and ¥4.2 billion in operating profit, the long-term outlook remains ambitious. The company is targeting a 41% profit compound annual growth rate through FY2027. This trajectory is predicated on completing the transition to recurring-earnings models in the digital transformation business and leveraging a staggered return phase from a robust investment portfolio that currently maintains ¥81.1 billion in assets under management.
