FY2026 First Quarter Consolidated Financial Results [Japanese GAAP]

CyberAgent’s consolidated financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, covering the period from October 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, demonstrate significant growth in revenue and profitability. Net sales rose 14.0% year-on-year to ¥232.3 billion, while operating income surged 181.8% to ¥23.3 billion. This performance was primarily driven by record-high results in the Media & IP and Game segments. Notably, the subsidiary AbemaTV Inc. achieved its first quarterly operating profit since its 2015 inception, contributing to a 246.1% increase in Media & IP segment income.

The Game Business served as a major growth engine, with net sales increasing 69.2% to ¥64.7 billion and operating income rising 427.2% to ¥17.6 billion, fueled by strong existing titles and international expansion. Conversely, the Internet Advertisement Business saw a 2.7% decline in sales and a 27.2% drop in operating income following the loss of a major client. The Investment Development Business also underperformed, reporting an operating loss of ¥552 million.

Geographically focused on the Japanese market with expanding global IP interests, the report utilizes Japanese GAAP to detail the company's financial position. Total assets decreased to ¥524.6 billion, largely due to tax and dividend payments. Despite the strong first-quarter start, the full-year forecast remains unchanged, projecting net sales of ¥880 billion. The outlook suggests a potential year-on-year decline in annual operating income, ranging from 16.3% to 30.3%, as the company balances proactive content investment with fluctuating segment performances.
