1 August 202510 pages3,821 words

Summary

CyberAgent demonstrated robust financial growth through the third quarter of the fiscal year ending September 2025, characterized by a 5.8% year-on-year increase in net sales to ¥631,993 million and a substantial 40.1% surge in operating income to ¥48,798 million. This performance was primarily propelled by a successful turnaround in the Media and IP segment, specifically ABEMA, alongside a 31.0% rise in Game Business operating income. The gaming division remains the primary profit driver, contributing ¥35,162 million in income, which offset a ¥3,514 million impairment loss resulting from declining profitability in specific legacy services. Improved payment efficiencies and the success of major titles further bolstered these results, leading to an upward revision of the full-year forecast to ¥850,000 million in net sales. The company’s financial position strengthened during this period, with total equity rising to ¥273,654 million and retained earnings growing to ¥138,698 million. Beyond immediate operational gains, there is a clear strategic focus on long-term expansion within the digital transformation and startup ecosystems. This is evidenced by the establishment of the CA Startups Internet Fund No. 4, a venture capital vehicle with a maximum investment of ¥5,000 million. Managed by CyberAgent Capital, this fund targets seed and early-stage startups both domestically and internationally. Due to the scale of this investment relative to the parent company’s capital stock, the fund is classified as a specified subsidiary, signaling a commitment to fostering innovation in the global digital sector as a core component of future growth.

FY2021 Third Quarter Consolidated Financial Results (Japanese GAAP)

CyberAgent’s consolidated financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, ending June 30, 2021, reveal a period of significant growth and upward momentum. Net sales reached ¥486.7 billion, a 36.1% increase year-on-year, while operating income surged by 171.9% to ¥77.5 billion. Profit attributable to shareholders of the parent saw the most dramatic rise, increasing 462.1% to ¥33.0 billion. This performance was driven primarily by the Game Business and the Internet Advertisement Business, leading the company to revise its full-year earnings and dividend forecasts upward. The Game Business served as a primary growth engine, with net sales rising 59.5% to ¥186.3 billion and operating income jumping 196.4% to ¥68.6 billion, largely due to the significant contribution of a new game title. The Internet Advertisement Business also achieved record-high net sales of ¥239.1 billion, up 17.0%, benefiting from a steadily expanding smartphone advertising market. While the Media Business, including ABEMA, reported an operating loss of ¥11.2 billion, this represented an improvement over the previous year’s loss as the company continues to invest in the platform as a long-term strategic pillar. Geographically focused on the Japanese market, the results reflect a cumulative nine-month period. The company’s financial position strengthened, with total assets increasing to ¥343.7 billion, supported by a four-for-one stock split executed in April 2021. Based on these results, CyberAgent raised its full-year sales forecast to ¥650 billion and its operating income forecast to ¥100 billion. The company also increased its year-end dividend forecast to ¥11 per share to maintain a Dividend on Equity (DOE) ratio of 5% or more, signaling confidence in its continued capital efficiency and business growth.

FY2020 Third Quarter Consolidated Financial Results [Japanese GAAP]

CyberAgent’s consolidated financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, covering the nine-month period ending June 30, 2020, indicate steady growth across most business segments despite global economic uncertainties. Net sales increased 4.6% year-on-year to ¥357.7 billion, while operating income rose 21.9% to ¥28.5 billion. Most notably, profit attributable to shareholders of the parent surged 230.9% to ¥5.88 billion, a significant recovery compared to the prior year's performance. The Game Business and Internet Advertisement Business served as the primary drivers of profitability. The Game Business, which includes subsidiaries such as Cygames and Craft Egg, reported a 21.6% increase in operating income to ¥23.1 billion, bolstered by the continued strength of major existing titles. The Internet Advertisement Business grew its operating income by 16.4% to ¥17.1 billion by successfully capturing demand from advertisers benefiting from stay-at-home consumer trends. Conversely, the Media Business, centered on the ABEMA streaming platform, reported an operating loss of ¥13.3 billion as the company continues to prioritize long-term investment in the service. The consolidated financial position remains stable, with total assets increasing to ¥235.9 billion, primarily due to higher cash and deposits. The equity capital ratio stood at 35.7% as of June 30, 2020. Looking ahead, the full-year forecast for the period ending September 30, 2020, remains unchanged from previous projections, with net sales expected to reach ¥465 billion and operating income estimated between ¥28 billion and ¥32 billion. These results reflect a strategic focus on the expanding smartphone and video advertising markets in Japan.

FY2025 Consolidated Financial Results [Japanese GAAP]

CyberAgent achieved a significant financial recovery during the 2025 fiscal year, characterized by a 9.1% increase in net sales to ¥874,030 million and a 78.9% surge in operating income to ¥71,702 million. This performance was underpinned by the Media & IP segment returning to profitability for the first time in a decade, generating ¥7.29 billion in operating income. The Game Business served as the primary engine for growth, with its operating income nearly doubling to ¥60.06 billion. This success in the gaming sector was attributed to aggressive overseas expansion and the adoption of high-margin external payment methods, which more than offset a ¥727 million extraordinary loss related to a patent infringement settlement between subsidiary Cygames and Konami Digital Entertainment. The company’s financial position strengthened considerably over the period, with net income attributable to the parent doubling to ¥31.67 billion and cash flows from operating activities rising to ¥79,518 million. Strategic capital management included a ¥20,000 million redemption of convertible bonds and the acquisition of subsidiary shares. To better leverage synergies surrounding the ABEMA platform, the corporate structure was reorganized to integrate secondary operations into the newly designated Media & IP Business segment. Looking toward the 2026 fiscal year, the outlook remains cautious despite the recent momentum. While consolidated net sales are projected to grow modestly to ¥880,000 million, operating income is expected to contract to a range between ¥50,000 and ¥60,000 million. This forecast suggests a period of reinvestment or market stabilization following the exceptional gains realized in the gaming and media sectors during the previous year. The results reflect a consolidated Japanese market focus with increasing international contributions from the gaming portfolio.

FY2023 First Quarter Consolidated Financial Results [Japanese GAAP]

CyberAgent’s consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023, reveal a period of strategic investment and market fluctuation. Covering the period from October 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022, the data shows a slight year-on-year decline in net sales of 2.1%, totaling ¥167,577 million. The company shifted from a significant operating income of ¥19,804 million in the previous year to an operating loss of ¥1,255 million. This downturn resulted in a net loss attributable to owners of the parent of ¥5,002 million, compared to a ¥6,091 million profit in the same quarter of the prior year. Performance varied significantly across business segments. The Media Business, which includes ABEMA and Ameba, saw a 34% increase in net sales to ¥33,485 million, driven largely by the distribution of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. However, high content and distribution costs led to an expanded operating loss of ¥9,356 million for the segment. The Internet Advertisement Business remained a stable core, growing sales by 8.9% to ¥95,639 million, though operating income dipped 13% due to economic conditions. Conversely, the Game Business experienced a sharp decline, with sales falling 29.9% to ¥40,916 million and operating income dropping 69.6% to ¥5,212 million as major titles moved away from their anniversary peaks. The consolidated financial position shows total assets increased to ¥423,028 million, primarily due to the issuance of convertible bonds, which also contributed to a rise in total liabilities to ¥211,331 million. Despite the quarterly loss, the company maintained its full-year forecast, projecting net sales of ¥720,000 million and operating income between ¥40,000 and ¥50,000 million. The report, prepared under Japanese GAAP, indicates that while short-term profitability was impacted by heavy media investments and game cycle volatility, the company continues to focus on the medium-to-long-term growth of its smartphone-based services.

FY2023 Consolidated Financial Results [Japanese GAAP]

CyberAgent, Inc. experienced a period of significant transition during the 2023 fiscal year, characterized by modest revenue growth alongside a sharp contraction in profitability. Consolidated net sales reached ¥720,207 million, representing a 1.4% year-over-year increase, yet operating income plummeted by 64.5% to ¥24,557 million. This decline was primarily driven by the Game Business, where profits fell 62.5% due to the natural lifecycle decline of high-margin titles. Simultaneously, the Internet Advertisement segment, while remaining the largest revenue contributor at ¥381,206 million, faced margin pressure from upfront investments in artificial intelligence. The Media Business emerged as a growth engine, with the ABEMA platform driving a 25.9% increase in segment sales and successfully narrowing its operational deficits. Despite the drop in net income attributable to owners—which fell from ¥24,219 million to ¥5,332 million—the company significantly strengthened its liquidity position. Cash and cash equivalents rose to ¥201,780 million, bolstered by over ¥53 billion in financing activities, including the issuance of convertible bonds and the acquisition of long-term bank loans. These strategic financial moves ensure a stable capital base for future expansion within the predominantly Japanese market, where over 90% of sales and assets are concentrated. Projections for the 2024 fiscal year indicate a strategic pivot toward recovery and renewed growth. Management forecasts net sales to reach ¥750 billion, supported by a pipeline of new game releases and the continued scaling of the Media segment. Operating income is expected to rebound by 22.2%, while net income is projected to increase by 50%. This outlook suggests that the heavy investment phase and the volatility in the gaming portfolio observed in 2023 are expected to stabilize, allowing for improved earnings per share and a more balanced contribution across the advertising, gaming, and media divisions.

Partial Correction to FY2023 Third Quarter Consolidated Financial Results [Japanese GAAP]

CyberAgent, Inc. issued this formal correction to its consolidated financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, covering the nine-month period ending June 30, 2023. The primary purpose of the document is to provide revised numerical data and financial statements following the submission of correction reports for past annual securities reports. The scope of the data includes the company’s major business segments: Media, Internet Advertisement, Games, Investment Development, and Other Businesses. Key findings for the cumulative third quarter of FY2023 show net sales of ¥534,397 million, a marginal year-on-year increase of 0.1%. However, profitability metrics saw significant declines. Operating income fell 68.3% to ¥17,383 million, and net income attributable to owners of the parent dropped 88.3% to ¥2,304 million. These declines are attributed to heavy investments in the Media business—specifically the distribution of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 on ABEMA—and a 21.2% revenue decrease in the Game Business following the slowdown of major titles like those from Cygames. The consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2023, shows total assets of ¥461,683 million, an increase of ¥79,749 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This growth was primarily driven by the issuance of convertible bonds and an increase in long-term bank loans, which also resulted in total liabilities rising to ¥235,349 million. The Internet Advertisement business remained a primary driver of volume, reaching record net sales of ¥300,672 million, though its operating income decreased by 30.2% due to upfront investments. The methodology follows Japanese GAAP standards, incorporating recent changes to accounting policies regarding fair value measurement and group tax sharing systems.
