Consolidated Financial Results for Q3 2019: Japan

KLab Inc. reported consolidated financial results for the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 (January 1–September 30), showing a decline in revenue and profitability compared with the same period of FY2018. Total consolidated revenue fell 10.3 % to ¥22,377 million, driven by weaker performance of key titles such as Love Live! School Idol Festival and Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team, offset by releases of Magatsu Wahrheit and Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS. Operating income dropped 57.1 % to ¥1,711 million, ordinary income fell 61.8 % to ¥1,569 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent decreased 53.7 % to ¥1,216 million. Net income for the period was ¥1,186 million, a 55 % decline from ¥2,629 million in FY2018. Comprehensive income also contracted sharply to ¥1,367 million from ¥2,635 million.

Total assets increased to ¥23,415 million, largely due to higher accounts receivable and software assets, while total liabilities rose to ¥6,125 million, driven by a significant increase in long‑term debt. Net assets grew to ¥17,290 million, supported by retained earnings gains despite a reduction in treasury stock. The equity ratio fell from 75.1 % to 69.2 %.

KLab adopted a range‑based forecast methodology for FY2019, revising its operating performance outlook to ¥1,750 million in operating income, ¥1,600 million in ordinary income, and ¥1,200 million in profit attributable to owners of parent. No dividends were declared for FY2019.
