FY2023 Second Quarter Consolidated Financial Results: Japan

CyberAgent’s FY2023 second‑quarter results show a modest 0.3 % rise in consolidated net sales to ¥363,235 million, while operating income fell sharply by 61.5 % to ¥17,531 million, reflecting a significant decline in profitability across key segments. Ordinary income attributable to the parent dropped 83.1 % to ¥2,898 million, and net income fell from ¥28,339 million in the same period of FY2022 to ¥7,748 million. Basic earnings per share contracted from ¥33.93 to ¥5.72, and diluted EPS fell from ¥32.14 to ¥5.24. Segment performance varied: the Media Business, driven by ABEMA and related services, recorded net sales of ¥66,960 million (27.9 % YoY growth) but posted an operating loss of ¥9,956 million due to the FIFA World Cup broadcast costs. The Internet Advertisement Business grew net sales by 6 % to ¥195,871 million but saw operating income decline 24.8 %. Game Development sales fell 19.1 % to ¥103,061 million with a 47 % drop in operating income. Investment Development and Other Businesses also experienced sales declines, though the latter’s operating income fell 18.1 %. The balance sheet expanded, with total assets rising to ¥428,812 million (up ¥45,114 million) largely from convertible bond issuance. Total liabilities increased to ¥205,219 million, driven by the same debt instruments, while equity grew modestly to ¥223,593 million. Cash and cash equivalents rose by ¥17,246 million to ¥185,281 million, supported by operating cash flow of ¥14,080 million and financing inflows from bond issuance. Forecasts for FY2023 remain unchanged: net income is projected at ¥720,000 million (a 1.3 % YoY increase), operating income at ¥40,000 million (down 42.1 %), and ordinary income attributable to owners at ¥40,000 million (down 42.4 %). The company maintains a dividend policy of ¥15 million per share for FY2023, unchanged from prior guidance.

Consolidated Financial Results for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2021

The six‑month financial results for mixi, Inc. covering April 1 to September 30, 2021 show a decline in key operating metrics compared with the same period in 2020. Net sales fell by 12.2 % to ¥51,587 million, while EBITDA dropped 42.0 % to ¥9,360 million and operating income fell 47.5 % to ¥7,382 million. Ordinary income attributable to owners of the parent decreased 46.0 % to ¥6,167 million, and comprehensive income contracted 42.0 % to ¥6,025 million. Earnings per share also declined from ¥123.86 (basic) to ¥83.11, reflecting the revenue shortfall and higher operating costs. Total assets decreased from ¥226,356 million at March 31 to ¥215,166 million at September 30, with net assets falling from ¥189,590 million to ¥185,141 million. The equity ratio improved slightly from 83.2 % to 85.2 %. Cash and cash equivalents dropped by ¥23,640 million due largely to financing outflows for treasury share repurchases and dividend payments of ¥4,144 million per quarter. The company maintained its dividend policy at ¥55.00 per share for each of the first two quarters of fiscal 2022, with no forecast revisions. Forecasts for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 project net sales of ¥105,000 million (down 12.0 %) and operating income of ¥2,000 million (down 91.3 %). The forecasts are presented as ranges and acknowledge potential uncertainties. Methodological notes highlight the adoption of the Japanese Revenue Recognition Standard effective from April 1, 2021, which had minimal impact on operating income for the six‑month period. No significant changes in accounting estimates or retrospective restatements were reported, and the company’s segment reporting remains unchanged except for minor adjustments related to revenue recognition.

FY2022 Fourth Quarter Financial Results Briefing

GREE, Inc. reported FY 2022 full‑year net sales of ¥74.9 billion, operating income of ¥11.5 billion and EBITDA of ¥12.1 billion, marking year‑on‑year growth driven by new hit titles in the Game Business such as *Heaven Burns Red* and *That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime*. The company also expanded its Metaverse Business, advancing the global REALITY platform, and strengthened its Advertising and Media Business by launching a SaaS solution that attracted over 30,000 participating stores. In the fourth quarter alone, net sales reached ¥20.9 billion and operating income rose to ¥3.8 billion, supported by successful title launches and a reduction in advertising expenses. Operating income for FY 2022 increased to ¥14.1 billion after a foreign‑exchange gain, but net income fell to ¥10.1 billion due to lower gains from investment‑security sales compared with FY 2021. Total variable costs decreased by ¥0.24 billion quarter‑on‑quarter, while fixed costs remained flat, resulting in a total cost reduction of ¥0.2 billion to ¥17.0 billion. For FY 2023, GREE outlined a three‑pillar strategy: Game and Anime Business, Metaverse Business, and Commerce & DX Business. The company aims to grow the global user base of REALITY to hundreds of millions, expand media and SaaS offerings to 100 million monthly active users, and continue investing in VC funds and startups. Forecasts indicate a short‑term decline in operating income, with FY 2023 first‑quarter operating income projected between ¥1.0 and ¥1.5 billion, while medium‑term targets focus on viral growth in the Metaverse and sustained profitability across all pillars.

FY2018 2Q Result Presentation

GREE, Inc. reported FY2018 second‑quarter results on February 2, 2018, with net sales of ¥19.5 billion and operating income of ¥2.3 billion, exceeding targets for both metrics. EBITDA reached ¥2.7 billion. Year‑on‑year growth was achieved, though quarter‑over‑quarter sales moderated by roughly 10 percentage points; operating margin remained at 12 %. The company attributed the sales dip to reduced advertising spend and lower commission fees, while cost controls on labor and outsourcing mitigated profit erosion. A strategic shift toward console gaming was announced, with the first title “The Fishing Star” slated for Nintendo Switch and a global release in development. Mobile game performance was bolstered by the launch of “Library Cross Infinite” and ongoing content updates for titles such as Another Eden, Danmachi, SINoALICE, SYMPHOGEAR, and Puchiguru Love Live. Five new mobile titles are approved for development, with three slated for release this fiscal year. The FY2018 Q3 forecast projects flat net sales at ¥19.5 billion and operating income of ¥2.5 billion, aiming for a year‑to‑date total of ¥60.6 billion. GREE plans to sustain growth through aggressive title reinforcement, overseas expansion, and cost discipline across mobile, console, VR, advertising, and media segments. The presentation covered financial performance, cost structure adjustments following overseas operation closures, and a pipeline of upcoming releases across multiple platforms.

FY2018 1Q Result Presentation

GREE, Inc. reported FY2018 first‑quarter results with net sales of ¥21.6 billion, operating income of ¥2.7 billion and EBITDA of ¥3.1 billion, marking growth over the prior quarter but modest year‑on‑year increases after adjusting for a ¥10 billion one‑time tax effect from a North American reorganization. Net income rose when excluding that special item, though the operating margin remained flat due to higher advertising and commission costs offset by reduced fixed expenses. Forecasts for the first half of FY2018 project net sales of ¥40.5 billion, operating income of ¥4.5 billion and EBITDA of ¥5.2 billion, with expectations of a Q2 moderation following the strong Q1 performance and subsequent releases. Strategically, GREE continues to expand its native game portfolio through engine, IP and global initiatives, launching several titles in Q1 and planning five releases for the second half. The company emphasizes aggressive advertising, including TV commercials for its media platform LIMIA and MINE, achieving 1 million monthly active users on LIMIA. Game monetization is driven by IP‑based titles and collaboration events, with a noted peak in coin consumption at launch followed by sustained growth. The VR segment sees partnership‑driven releases, such as a PlayStation VR title with Square Enix. Geographically, GREE focuses on domestic growth while preparing overseas distribution for select IP games via partners like Crunchyroll. The presentation covers financial performance, cost structure, and operational plans across game development, media expansion, and VR ventures for FY2018.

Quarterly Consolidated Balance Sheets: FY2012 Q2

The quarterly consolidated balance sheets and accompanying income statements present a snapshot of the company’s financial position at the end of FY2012 Q2, compared with FY2011 Q2. Total assets increased modestly from ¥19,649 million to ¥19,876 million, driven primarily by a rise in current assets—cash and deposits grew from ¥10,423 to ¥12,450 million while accounts receivable fell. Non‑current assets declined slightly as property, plant and equipment net values decreased from ¥1,258 to ¥1,084 million. Shareholders’ equity rose from ¥14,704 to ¥15,771 million, largely due to an increase in retained earnings and a reduction in treasury stock. Operating performance improved markedly. Net sales grew from ¥6,081 to ¥6,817 million, and gross profit increased from ¥4,043 to ¥4,849 million. Operating income more than doubled from ¥850 to ¥1,612 million, reflecting tighter cost control and higher sales. Net income surged from ¥340 to ¥1,205 million, with extraordinary gains on subsidiary stock sales contributing ¥406 million in Q2 FY2012. Foreign exchange losses rose, but were offset by gains on investments and reduced equity losses of affiliates. Cash flow analysis shows a turnaround in operating cash generation, moving from a net outflow of ¥291 million to an inflow of ¥1,694 million. Investing cash use decreased from a net outflow of ¥1,755 to an inflow of ¥483 million, largely due to reduced purchases of property and equipment. Financing cash remained negative but less severe, with treasury stock repurchases offset by dividend payments. Overall, the company demonstrated stronger liquidity, higher profitability, and improved cash generation in FY2012 Q2 relative to the same period a year earlier.

Revenue rose 36.7 % to ¥24,936 million from ¥18,238 million in the same period of FY2017, driven by strong sales of titles such as *Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team*, the BLEACH Brave Souls anniversary campaign, and *YU☆ ☆ YU HAKUSHO 100% Maji Battle*.

Net assets increased to ¥14,617 million, raising the equity ratio to 73.0 % from 67.4 %. Long‑term debt increased, but current liabilities fell, reflecting a reduction in income taxes payable.

Comprehensive income for the quarter was ¥787 million, down 42.4 % from ¥1.37 billion in FY2019, reflecting a reversal of the valuation gain on available‑for‑sale securities and foreign‑currency translation adjustments.

KLab Inc. reported consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 under Japanese GAAP. Revenue rose 22.0 % to ¥32.67 billion, driven by mobile game titles such as Love Live! School Idol Festival, BLEACH Brave Souls, and YU HAKUSHO 100% Maji Battle. Operating income increased modestly by 2.1 % to ¥4.99 billion, while ordinary income grew 3.0 % to ¥4.998 billion. Profit attributable to owners of parent fell 17.8 % to ¥2.57 billion, largely due to extraordinary losses totaling ¥958 million—including impairment of software assets, disposal of fixed assets, and valuation loss on investment securities. Net income declined 17.8 % to ¥2.57 billion, and comprehensive income dropped 23.6 % to ¥2.42 billion. Total assets expanded to ¥19.25 billion, driven by increases in software in progress and intangible assets; total liabilities decreased to ¥4.78 billion, mainly due to lower income‑tax payable. Equity ratio improved to 75.1 %, and net assets per share rose to ¥387.36. Cash and cash equivalents fell by ¥2.06 billion, with operating cash flow of ¥3.80 billion offset by a ¥5.11 billion outflow in investing activities and a ¥0.70 billion inflow from financing.

Forecasts for FY2019 present a revenue range of ¥32–40 billion, operating income of ¥1–4.5 billion, and profit attributable to owners between ¥0.7–3.1 billion, reflecting uncertainty in new title performance.

KLab Inc. reported a strong first‑half fiscal 2017 performance, with consolidated revenue rising 23 % to ¥10.92 billion compared to ¥8.88 billion in the same period of FY2016. Operating income increased markedly to ¥1.97 billion, up from a loss of ¥51 million the previous year, driven by robust sales of core mobile games and the launch of “Captain Tsubasa ～Tatakae Dream Team～” in mid‑June. Cost of sales grew modestly by 3.9 % to ¥7.02 billion, largely reflecting higher royalty and commission expenses linked to revenue growth. Selling, general and administrative costs fell 6.6 % to ¥1.93 billion due to reduced advertising and outsourcing spend, while non‑operating income of ¥217 million—primarily foreign‑exchange gains—offsets a non‑operating expense of ¥647 million, resulting in ordinary profit of ¥2.19 billion and net income attributable to owners of parent of ¥1.45 billion. Total assets reached ¥14.53 billion, up ¥2.40 billion from FY2016, with net assets increasing to ¥10.68 billion and an equity ratio of 73.3 %. The company maintained a healthy liquidity position, with current assets at ¥9.10 billion and current liabilities at ¥3.85 billion, while retained earnings grew by ¥1.54 billion.

This strategic move aims to enhance data‑analysis capabilities for mobile game operations and expand cross‑border market presence.

Operating loss narrowed from ¥730 million to ¥86 million, while ordinary profit surged 752.4 % to ¥484 million due largely to foreign‑exchange gains and a gain on sale of investment securities. Profit attributable to owners of the parent rose 279.6 % to ¥170 million, and basic earnings per share increased from ¥0.35 to ¥1.32. Total assets fell by ¥3,558 million to ¥72,183 million, driven mainly by a reduction in cash and deposits. Net assets declined to ¥66,215 million, with retained earnings reduced by ¥2,725 million after dividend payments. The equity ratio remained high at 91.7 %. No significant changes in consolidation scope or accounting policy were reported, and the company disclosed no retrospective restatements.

Summary of Financial Results for First Half of Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2016

KLab Inc. reports a sharp decline in first‑half fiscal 2016 performance, with consolidated revenue falling 14.9 % to ¥8,879 million from ¥10,435 million in the same period of FY2015. Operating income collapsed 96.7 % to ¥51 million, and ordinary loss widened to ¥746 million, resulting in a net loss attributable to owners of ¥1.34 billion. The downturn is largely attributed to reduced revenue from the flagship title “Love Live! School Idol Festival.” Cost of sales remained flat, while selling‑general‑administrative expenses dropped 3.1 % due to lower advertising spend on “Bleach: Brave Souls.” Foreign‑exchange losses of ¥752 million and extraordinary impairment losses of ¥757 million (software) contributed to the loss. Total assets declined by ¥1.82 billion to ¥10.81 billion, driven mainly by a reduction in securities and intangible assets; liabilities fell ¥484 million to ¥2.28 billion, largely from lower accounts payable and long‑term debt. Net assets decreased to ¥8.53 billion, with retained earnings dropping sharply. For FY2016, KLab forecasts revenue of ¥14.88 billion and operating income of ¥1.00 billion for the first three quarters, but does not provide a full‑year forecast due to volatility in mobile game performance. The company applied revised Japanese GAAP standards for business combinations and depreciation changes effective from the first quarter, with no material impact on quarterly results. No dividends were declared for FY2015 or FY2016, and the company remains a non‑dividend payer.

Total assets declined to 12.09 billion yen, while net assets fell to 9.43 billion yen; the equity ratio remained stable at 77.5 %. No dividends were declared for FY2016, and the company forecast a full‑year loss of 851 million yen with operating income projected at –370 million yen for the first half of FY2016. The decline in revenue was partially offset by gains from the Japanese and Simplified Chinese versions of “Love Live! School Idol Festival” and sales of “Bleach: Brave Souls.” Cost‑of‑sales decreased 1.6 % year‑over‑year, but selling, general and administrative expenses rose 21.3 %. Foreign exchange losses of 311 million yen were recorded, largely due to valuation adjustments on foreign‑currency assets. Impairment loss of 65 million yen was recorded for software in the game business segment. The report covers Japan‑based operations, with data from January 1 to March 31, 2016. Methodology includes consolidated financial statements prepared under Japanese GAAP, with adjustments for new accounting standards adopted in the first quarter. The company’s management noted that operating performance is highly sensitive to hit products, and full‑year forecasts remain uncertain.

Financial Highlights: 1st Half of Fiscal Year Ending March 2012

Financial highlights for the first half of fiscal year ending March 2012 reveal a mixed performance across Tecmo Koei Holdings’ business segments. Net sales rose 23.2 % year‑over‑year to ¥11,069 million, driven primarily by growth in Game Software (40.7 % increase) and Online & Mobile (57.2 % increase). Media & Rights, Pachislot & Pachinko, Amusement Facilities, and Other segments all experienced declines ranging from 20.4 % to 39.5 %. Corporate and elimination items contributed a net negative of ¥753 million, offsetting gains in other areas. Operating income for the period was ¥641 million, a sharp improvement from a loss of ¥1,656 million in the same period a year earlier. The recovery was largely due to Game Software (+34.8 %) and Online & Mobile (+66.4 %). However, Media & Rights, Pachislot & Pachinko, Amusement Facilities, and Other segments remained unprofitable or posted modest gains. Corporate and elimination costs again weighed heavily on profitability. Net income increased to ¥412 million, up 31.3 % from a loss of ¥571 million in the prior year’s first half, reflecting stronger operating performance and reduced tax expenses. Forecasts for the full year indicate a modest 9.1 % increase in net sales to ¥35,000 million and a target operating income of ¥5,000 million. The analysis draws on consolidated financial statements for the first half and full year of FY2011, comparing them to FY2009 and FY2010 figures. Data are presented in millions of yen, with year‑over‑year changes expressed as percentages. The report covers all business segments within the company’s geographic scope, primarily Japan and related international operations.
