FY2024 Presentation Material

CyberAgent achieved record consolidated sales of 802.9 billion yen in fiscal year 2024, representing an 11.5% year-over-year increase, while operating profit surged 70.4% to 41.8 billion yen. This performance marks a significant recovery for the Game business, which returned to growth for the first time in three years, and a narrowing of losses within the Media segment. The company’s strategic focus on operational efficiency through proprietary generative AI models and the expansion of its intellectual property portfolio drove these results. Projections for fiscal year 2025 suggest continued momentum, with a forecasted 29.3% increase in net income and a planned dividend hike to 17 yen.

The Game business remains a primary profit driver, generating 195.9 billion yen in annual sales and a 34.6% increase in operating profit. Success was largely attributed to the sustained popularity of the Umamusume: Pretty Derby franchise and the launch of five new titles. Simultaneously, the Media segment, anchored by ABEMA, reached a record 30.29 million weekly active users and grew sales by 22.4%. To enhance monetization, the segment is transitioning to a tiered pricing model for ABEMA Premium and leveraging group-wide synergies to develop original IPs across anime, film, and gaming.

The Internet Advertisement segment improved margins by integrating AI into its operations, contributing to the overall stability of the group. While fourth-quarter operating income saw a more modest 5.7% increase due to ongoing investments in social infrastructure and long-term profitability, the broader outlook remains positive. Future growth is expected to be supported by a robust pipeline of upcoming titles, including Chiikawa Pocket, and the continued evolution of the company’s media ecosystem into a sustainable, diversified entertainment platform.
