KLab Inc. narrowed its net loss to ¥479 million in Q1 2025 from ¥1.096 billion in the prior-year period, supported by a 3.4% revenue increase driven by BLEACH Brave Souls and Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team.
Operating losses improved to ¥288 million from ¥658 million, achieved through a 15.6% reduction in cost of sales and a 9.6% cut in selling, general, and administrative expenses.
The company has initiated a voluntary retirement program for approximately 100 employees to further streamline costs following a breach of financial covenants.
Management declined to provide a full-year earnings forecast for FY2025, citing market volatility, and maintained a zero-dividend policy.
Financial stability measures include a 20th-series Stock Acquisition Rights issuance and a 2nd-series unsecured bond placement, resulting in a ¥650 million bond balance by quarter-end.
Despite negative cash flows and covenant breaches, the company maintains an equity ratio of 65.9% and asserts no material uncertainty regarding its ongoing-concern status.
Future growth strategy focuses on the upcoming EA SPORTS FC™ TACTICAL title, new IP collaborations, and continued pursuit of joint development schemes.
