See it on page 1CyberAgent, Inc. reported a strong first‑quarter performance for FY2026, with net sales rising 14 % YoY to ¥232.4 billion and operating income surging 182 % to ¥23.4 billion, driven by significant gains in its Media & IP and Game segments. The Media & IP business generated ¥62.6 billion in sales, up 12.5 %, and operating income of ¥4.9 billion, largely thanks to the profitable quarterly results of AbemaTV Inc., a key subsidiary. The Game segment posted net sales of ¥64.7 billion, up 69 % YoY, and operating income of ¥17.7 billion, a 427 % increase, reflecting strong performance of existing titles and overseas expansion. In contrast, the Internet Advertisement business saw a 2.7 % sales decline to ¥114.6 billion, with operating income falling 27 %. The Investment Development segment recorded a net loss of ¥552 million after a prior year profit.
Total assets decreased to ¥524.7 billion, mainly due to cash outflows for taxes and dividends, while equity fell to ¥267.5 billion, reflecting reduced non‑controlling interests from subsidiary dividends. Net income attributable to owners of parent reached ¥12.5 billion, a 146 % increase, and basic earnings per share climbed to ¥24.58.
The FY2026 full‑year forecast remains unchanged, projecting net sales of ¥880 billion and operating income of ¥50 billion (a 30 % decline YoY). The company’s guidance acknowledges potential risks that could materially affect actual results.
