Quarterly Transition by Business Segment
CyberAgent’s financial performance for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 demonstrates a significant recovery in profitability compared to the same period in the previous year. Total net sales reached 193.07 billion yen, representing a year-over-year increase from the 167.57 billion yen recorded in the first quarter of 2023. Most notably, the consolidated operating income swung from a loss of 1.25 billion yen in the prior year’s first quarter to a profit of 6.28 billion yen, signaling a stabilized financial trajectory across the company’s diverse business segments. The Internet Advertisement Business remains the primary revenue driver, contributing 105.32 billion yen in sales and 5.66 billion yen in operating profit during the first quarter. While the Media Business continues to operate at a loss, its performance has improved substantially; the segment reduced its operating loss from 9.35 billion yen in the first quarter of 2023 to just 991 million yen in the current period. This improvement is reflected in the operating profit margin for the Media segment, which narrowed from negative 27.9 percent to negative 2.3 percent. The Game Business experienced a moderate increase in revenue, posting 45.04 billion yen for the quarter compared to 40.91 billion yen a year earlier. However, the segment's operating profit of 3.49 billion yen and margin of 7.8 percent represent a decline from the 5.21 billion yen and 12.7 percent margin seen in the first quarter of 2023. Despite this contraction in game-related margins, the overall corporate performance was bolstered by the Investment Development and Other Business segments, both of which remained profitable. The data covers the Japanese market and reflects the transition from the full fiscal year 2023 through the initial quarter of 2024.

1Q FY2024 Presentation Material: October to December 2023
CyberAgent’s financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, covering October to December 2023, demonstrate a strong start across its three primary business segments: Internet Advertisement, Game, and Media. Consolidated net sales reached 193.0 billion yen, a 15.2% increase year-over-year, while operating income rose to 6.2 billion yen, reversing a loss from the same period the previous year. This performance aligns with the strategic goal of establishing fiscal year 2023 as a profit trough and entering a new growth phase. The Internet Advertisement business remains the primary revenue driver, generating 105.3 billion yen in sales (up 10.1% YoY) with an improving operating profit margin of 5.4%. The Game business saw a recovery in sales to 45.0 billion yen (up 10.1% YoY) driven by the successful launch of Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade, though operating profit declined 32.9% YoY to 3.4 billion yen. The Media business, centered on ABEMA, significantly reduced its operating losses to 0.9 billion yen, an 8.3 billion yen improvement over the previous year, supported by a 27.8% increase in sales and the growth of Weekly Active Users to over 20 million during peak periods. Geographically focused on the Japanese market with expanding digital interests, the data indicates that the company is on track to meet its full-year forecast of 750 billion yen in sales and 30 billion yen in operating profit. Methodology involves consolidated financial reporting of internal business units and user engagement metrics for digital platforms. The long-term strategy emphasizes the digital shift of industries through AI and DX in advertising, the creation of high-quality global game titles, and the evolution of ABEMA into a profitable social infrastructure.

1Q FY2021 Presentation Material: October to December 2020
CyberAgent achieved record-high consolidated sales of 131 billion yen during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, representing a 13.3% year-over-year increase. This growth was primarily propelled by the Media and Advertising segments, offsetting a temporary downturn in the Game business. While the Game segment saw revenue decline 15% to 29.9 billion yen and operating profit drop 77.8% due to seasonal factors and elevated marketing expenditures, the company maintained a strong financial foundation with 252 billion yen in total assets. This performance establishes a solid trajectory toward meeting full-year targets despite the mixed results across different business units. The Media segment emerged as a significant growth engine, with ABEMA driving a 67% surge in revenue to 20.4 billion yen. This expansion was supported by a premium subscriber base exceeding 921,000 users and an elevenfold increase in transaction volume for the WINTICKET platform. To capitalize on this momentum, the company restructured ABEMA into distinct Free and Premium business units. Simultaneously, the Game business prepared for a recovery through the high-profile launches of titles such as Uma Musume Pretty Derby and NieR Re[in]carnation, signaling a strategic focus on high-quality content to stabilize future earnings. Corporate strategy remains centered on governance and technological adaptation within the Japanese market. The organizational structure utilizes a clear distinction between supervision and execution, supported by a board of eight directors that includes significant outside representation. By emphasizing environmental data disclosure and the integration of artificial intelligence within advertising and media functionality, the company aims to align with modern ESG standards. These initiatives, framed within the context of the New Normal, reflect a commitment to long-term sustainability and operational agility in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

1Q FY2025 Presentation Material: October to December 2024
CyberAgent’s financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, covering October to December 2024, indicate a strong start to the year with consolidated sales reaching 203.8 billion yen, a 5.6% increase year-over-year. Operating income rose significantly by 32.1% to 8.3 billion yen, driven primarily by the improved profitability of the Media & IP segment and steady growth in Internet Advertising. The company has achieved approximately 25% of its full-year sales forecast and 20% of its operating profit target, maintaining a positive trajectory toward its annual goals. The Media & IP business, which now includes the ABEMA streaming platform, saw revenue grow 10.5% to 55.6 billion yen. This segment transitioned to a 1.4 billion yen operating profit, a substantial recovery from previous losses, attributed to the reduction of upfront investment costs for ABEMA and high engagement with anime and combat sports content. The Internet Advertisement business remains the largest revenue contributor, growing 11.8% to 117.7 billion yen through new client acquisitions and AI-driven operational efficiencies. Conversely, the Game business experienced a 15.1% decline in revenue to 38.2 billion yen and a 4.1% dip in profit, as the natural slowdown of older titles offset the performance of newer releases. The medium-to-long-term strategy focuses on evolving the Media & IP segment into a primary profit pillar alongside advertising and gaming. CyberAgent plans to accelerate IP production, evidenced by the January 2025 founding of the anime production company CA Soa, Inc. The gaming pipeline remains active with over six new titles planned for the remainder of the fiscal year, including international versions of major franchises. By leveraging synergies between ABEMA’s distribution reach and internal IP creation, the company aims to build a high-profit business model capable of sustained global growth.
