FY2021 Second Quarter Financial Results

The FY2021 second‑quarter report presents a consolidated view of the company’s financial performance, operational highlights, and strategic initiatives across its game, live‑entertainment, and advertising businesses. Net sales totaled ¥13.7 billion, down 1.56 % year‑over‑year and 2.76 % quarter‑on‑quarter, reflecting a seasonal dip in game sales. Operating income fell ¥1.0 billion QoQ to ¥0.56 billion, yet remained in line with forecasts; EBITDA stood at ¥0.76 billion. Net income rose to ¥3.0 billion, driven largely by investment‑fund operations, while ordinary income and net income showed modest YoY increases. Cost structure analysis indicates a ¥0.53 billion reduction in total costs QoQ, primarily from lower advertising and commission fees, offset by higher labor and outsourcing expenses. Fixed costs decreased slightly, while variable costs saw a modest rise. The company maintained a robust cash position with ¥89.1 billion in cash and equivalents, supporting ongoing capital initiatives. Strategically, the quarter marked the launch of new titles such as “Assault Lily: Last Bullet” and the Chinese version of “Another Eden,” expanding overseas distribution in China through partners like Bilibili, TapTap, and Shengqu Games. Live‑entertainment efforts grew with the REALITY app’s expansion of avatar gacha content, earning a Google Play Best‑of 2020 award. Advertising and media activities focused on community engagement through campaigns tied to popular IPs like SINoALICE and DanMachi. The company’s outlook remains positive, anticipating firm profit from global game operations while continuing to invest in content development and platform expansion.

FY2020 Third Quarter Results Briefing

The briefing presents FY2020 third‑quarter results for GREE Inc., highlighting net sales of ¥15.4 billion, operating income of ¥1.2 billion and EBITDA of ¥1.4 billion, with operating income exceeding forecasts. Net sales fell from the prior quarter due to portfolio pruning and COVID‑19 impacts on advertising, yet profitability rose thanks to strong performance of the first‑party title “Another Eden” and cost efficiencies, particularly in variable advertising spend and reduced depreciation from office relocation expenses. Operating‑income ratio climbed to 8.0 %, up 3.0 percentage points. Key business developments include the expansion of “Another Eden” into 71 countries, achieving a 1.4‑fold overseas sales increase, and the upcoming global launch of “SINoALICE” on July 1, slated for distribution in 139 territories. The live‑entertainment platform REALITY is adding original content such as the VTuber music program “Buion!!” and streamer ranking events. Licensed titles continue to perform well, exemplified by the Chinese release of “One‑Punch Man” topping sales charts. Outlook for Q4 anticipates weaker sales and profit due to ongoing COVID‑19 effects on advertising, with potential restructuring measures—including portfolio review and fixed‑cost reductions—expected to incur a one‑time loss. The company plans to maintain earnings stability in FY2021 through swift action and cost control, while continuing shareholder returns via a stock‑repurchase program of up to ¥2.5 billion and a dividend forecast of ¥10 per share, unchanged from the previous year.

FY2020 financial results for GREE, Inc. show a full‑year net sales total of ¥62.7 billion with operating income of ¥3.2 billion and EBITDA of ¥3.9 billion, driven by a strengthened game business, expanded live‑entertainment platform REALITY, and focused media operations.

Adjusted for one‑time restructuring costs, operating income recovered to ¥0.8 billion, indicating a solid profit‑generation base. Key findings include a net sales decline from the prior quarter largely attributable to weaker media revenue amid COVID‑19, while game and live‑entertainment segments remained stable. Fixed costs increased by ¥0.91 billion, primarily due to restructuring initiatives such as business discontinuations and office consolidations in the media arm. Variable costs held steady at ¥6.15 billion, and the company’s cost structure remained largely unchanged except for one‑time items. The fiscal year 2021 outlook centers on aggressive investment in the three pillars: game development (engine, IP, and China distribution), expansion of REALITY’s user base, and media portfolio growth.
