Revenue fell to ¥12.51 billion, a 33.1 % decline from the same period in FY2021, driven by lower game‑business sales.

Net income for the quarter was a loss of ¥307 million, compared with a ¥1.77 billion loss in FY2021; comprehensive income improved to a loss of ¥373 million from ¥1.68 billion in the prior year.

The financial statements reflect a transition to the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition, which reduced reported revenue by ¥65 million and increased operating loss accordingly. No material restatements or significant changes in accounting estimates were noted. The company’s segment reporting shows the game business as the sole revenue driver, with a gross profit of ¥2.05 billion in FY2022 versus ¥1.98 billion in FY2021. Overall, KLab’s third‑quarter performance indicates a contraction in game revenue but an improvement in profitability metrics relative to the previous year, amid ongoing adjustments to accounting policies and a modest increase in debt financing.
