3Q FY2021 Presentation Material: April to June 2021

CyberAgent experienced exceptional financial growth during the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, covering the period from April to June. Consolidated sales reached 192.2 billion yen, representing a 70.3% year-over-year increase, while operating profit surged more than fivefold to 44.5 billion yen. This performance was primarily catalyzed by the Game business, specifically the massive commercial success of Uma Musume Pretty Derby. The title surpassed nine million downloads within five months of its launch, driving segment sales up by 151.7% and operating profit by over 480%. The success of this intellectual property has further expanded into a multi-media franchise encompassing anime, music, and live events, prompting an upward revision of full-year forecasts to 650 billion yen in sales and 100 billion yen in operating profit.

The media segment, led by the streaming platform ABEMA, also demonstrated significant momentum with quarterly sales more than doubling to 10.5 billion yen. Weekly Active Users reached a peak of 14.9 million, supported by high-profile sports broadcasting and original content. A critical component of this segment's monetization strategy is the WINTICKET online betting service, which saw transaction volumes grow 5.5 times year-over-year to 39.3 billion yen through strategic integration with ABEMA’s programming.

Beyond current hits, the strategic focus remains on technological innovation and pipeline development. The advertising business reported high adoption rates for AI-driven creative tools, while the gaming division is preparing for future growth with high-profile upcoming titles based on the Final Fantasy VII and Jujutsu Kaisen franchises. These results indicate a robust diversification strategy where high-performing gaming assets and integrated media services drive record-breaking financial outcomes across the Japanese market.
