FY2023 Third Quarter GREE Results Briefing: Summary of Supplementary Explanations

The briefing clarifies GREE’s financial outlook and strategic positioning for FY2023, focusing on the third quarter results. It reports that overseas releases of “Heaven Burns Red” have begun to generate sales consistent with market size, though a precise forecast remains unavailable due to the short time frame. In the Internet and Entertainment segment, operating income for Q4 is projected at approximately ¥1.5 billion, reflecting a decline from the Japanese version’s anniversary event contributions but offset by overseas expansion. The company highlights its metaverse platform, REALITY, as a key growth driver. REALITY boasts over 10 million global users, with daily engagement rates that surpass many competitors, and has achieved steady monetization through avatar sales and livestreaming. GREE plans to enhance the platform with generative AI, enabling user‑generated 3D content such as avatars and world elements, mirroring approaches seen in other metaverse services. For the Investment and Incubation Business, Q4 operating income is expected to reach roughly ¥0.5 billion, largely supported by dividend receipts from corporate venture capital funds. Overall, the briefing underscores GREE’s focus on expanding overseas markets, monetizing its metaverse ecosystem, and leveraging AI to sustain growth across its entertainment and investment portfolios.

Financial Results for the First Quarter: Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2011

GREE, Inc. reported first‑quarter financial results for the fiscal year ending June 30 2011, showing a 13 % rise in net sales to ¥12.41 billion versus the prior quarter and an 18 % increase in operating profit to ¥6.22 billion. Net income climbed 19 % to ¥3.70 billion, driven by higher paid‑service and advertisement revenues linked to new first‑party titles such as “Pirate Kingdom Columbus” and the launch of a monthly fee plan for “Hacöniwa.” The company’s user base reached 22.46 million members by September 2010, with 46 % aged over 30, and mobile traffic accounted for a growing share of page views. Operating expenses rose modestly; cost of sales increased by 25 % mainly due to higher rental charges, while advertising spend grew 22 %. Labor costs and SG&A expenses also rose, reflecting continued investment in development and marketing. Cash flow from operations turned negative for the quarter, offset by a significant inflow of ¥8.78 billion from investment activities and a reduction in financing cash outflows. GREE expanded its platform by opening the “GREE Platform” to third‑party developers, partnering with hosting and customer‑support firms, and launching a mobile service on smartphones. Geographic outreach plans include opening offices in Asia and North America and partnering with Project Goth, Inc. to tap emerging‑market mobile SNSs. The company maintained a robust safety framework through its GREE Patrol system and age‑restriction policies, reinforcing user protection amid rapid growth.

Financial Results for the Second Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending on June 30, 2011

GREE, Inc. reports a robust second‑quarter performance for the fiscal year ending June 30 2011, driven by continued dominance in Japan’s social networking and mobile gaming markets. Net sales rose 15 % QoQ to ¥14,302 million and 75 % YoY, with operating profit up 11 % QoQ to ¥6,924 million and net income increasing 13 % QoQ. Growth is attributed to a 18 % rise in paid‑service sales and a modest 4 % increase in advertising revenue, offsetting higher cost of sales driven by expanded data‑center rentals and personnel expenses. Subscriber metrics underscore market leadership: registered users reached 23.83 million by December 2010, with monthly page views climbing steadily as the GREE Platform attracted 171 partner companies. The company’s original game portfolio doubled to 560 titles by January 2011, and monthly‑fee plans for partner apps were launched. Smartphone initiatives progressed with the release of GREE beta on Android and free iOS games, positioning the platform for a feature‑phone transition. Financially, current assets grew 31 % QoQ to ¥37,074 million, while cash and deposits increased 23 %. Operating cash flow remained positive at ¥4,707 million. The company’s strategic focus includes expanding overseas partnerships—most notably with Tencent—and enhancing advertising through a subsidiary ad network. Safety and security measures were intensified, with stricter content monitoring and age verification protocols implemented to protect younger users. Overall, the quarter reflects sustained revenue growth, strategic platform expansion, and a proactive approach to regulatory compliance.

Summary of Main Supplementary Explanations Questions and Answers: FY2023 Second Quarter

The briefing outlines GREE’s performance and strategic outlook for the second quarter of FY2023, focusing on its Internet and Entertainment Business. Sales in the Game and Anime segment remained steady for “Heaven Burns Red,” though revenue tapered after the half‑year anniversary promotion; growth continued in Metaverse and Commerce & DX divisions. The company anticipates a one‑year anniversary event for the Japanese version of Heaven Burns Red and imminent releases in Korean and traditional Chinese, with pre‑registrations already generating significant buzz at local game shows. The Anime Business is positioned to secure and diversify intellectual property, enabling in‑house development of game‑to‑anime adaptations that can enhance user engagement and revenue. Metaverse operations, branded as REALITY, have surpassed the break‑even point and achieved profitability. Over the past six months, overseas sales grew markedly, with North America leading after Japan, followed by Indonesia and Thailand. User demographics skew female and Generation Z, with a strong preference for private communication features. Monetization streams—live‑stream gifting, avatar sales, and in‑game purchases—are expanding consistently across regions. Advertising spend is expected to rise in the third quarter, driven by anniversary events and new language releases for Heaven Burns Red, as well as intensified promotion of REALITY. Operating income projections for the Internet and Entertainment Business in Q3 FY2023 range from ¥1.0 billion to ¥1.5 billion, contingent on the performance of the Korean and Chinese versions. The Investment and Incubation Business remains cautious, with potential short‑term losses anticipated due to market conditions. However, diversified investment timing and targets are projected to stabilize contributions over the medium‑to‑long term.

FY2023 First Quarter Financial Results Briefing

GREE, Inc. reported FY2023 first‑quarter results with net sales of ¥16.6 billion and operating income of ¥1.58 billion, driven largely by the Internet and Entertainment segment. The flagship game “Heaven Burns Red” continued to outperform expectations, sustaining high sales rankings and generating strong variable revenue; however, quarter‑on‑quarter sales declined after a peak in FY22 due to the absence of new releases and anniversary events. Variable costs fell, while fixed costs remained stable, resulting in a total cost reduction of ¥2.0 billion to ¥15.0 billion. The Metaverse business, centered on the global platform REALITY, achieved a milestone of 10 million downloads across 63 countries. GREE plans to expand content and communication features—such as new gaming titles, reaction stickers, and chat GIFs—to increase user engagement and monetize the platform further. The Commerce and DX segment continued to grow its SaaS offering, aumo My Business, with rising media users and clients. Investment and Incubation activities saw an AUM increase to ¥80 billion, driven by asset revaluation and new investments in three VC funds (Japan and the U.S.) and 14 startups. Despite a decline in listed‑stock valuations, unlisted holdings rose, improving overall portfolio value and IRR, particularly in the growth phase. Geographically, GREE’s operations span Japan and international markets, with a focus on expanding overseas reach for both gaming and Metaverse services. The company anticipates stable income in FY23, with a projected operating income of ¥1.0–¥1.5 billion for the second quarter, while maintaining aggressive investment in Metaverse development.

FY2021 Third Quarter Financial Results

The FY2021 third‑quarter results demonstrate a robust performance driven largely by the launch of new titles and cost efficiencies. Net sales rose to ¥13.9 billion, up 0.23 % QoQ and down 1.53 % YoY from ¥15.44 billion in the same period of FY2020, while operating income increased to ¥1.72 billion, a 1.16 % QoQ gain and a 0.49 % YoY rise from ¥1.24 billion. EBITDA reached ¥1.91 billion, up 1.15 % QoQ and 0.55 % YoY from ¥1.36 billion, reflecting a 15 % operating‑income margin. Net income surged to ¥5.08 billion, a 2.09 % QoQ increase and 3.90 % YoY growth, largely attributable to profit from investment‑fund operations. Key drivers include the strong start of “Assault Lily: Last Bullet,” which entered distribution on January 20 and achieved a 16th‑place ranking in app sales, and the development of third‑party titles such as “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime” and “Mao to Ryu no Kenkokutan.” Advertising costs fell by ¥0.38 billion QoQ, while commission fees declined due to reduced royalties from app games. Total costs decreased by ¥0.93 billion QoQ, driven by lower variable and fixed expenses. The company maintained a flexible capital policy through a stock‑repurchase program of up to 20 million shares (≈¥12 billion) and announced a dividend of ¥11 per share, up from ¥10 in FY2020. Geographic coverage spans Japan, North America, Europe, and Asia, with ongoing overseas distribution of multiple IP titles.

FY2019 Third Quarter Financial Results

The FY2019 third‑quarter results demonstrate a solid operating performance driven largely by overseas distribution of first‑party IP and cost efficiencies in existing titles. Net sales reached ¥17.6 billion, slightly below the forecasted ¥18 billion range but up 0.23 % YoY, while operating income rose to ¥1.6 billion, surpassing the forecasted ¥1.5 billion and marking a 0.59 % QoQ increase. EBITDA stood at ¥1.8 billion, reflecting a 0.60 % QoQ gain and a 1.35 % YoY decline, largely attributable to one‑off events that added ¥390 million in sales and ¥460 million in income. Adjusted figures, excluding these events, show net sales of ¥17.25 billion and operating income of ¥1.09 billion, underscoring the underlying strength. Key drivers include a successful launch of “Another Eden” in eight overseas markets, which contributed significantly to paid‑service sales (¥13.65 billion), and a global simultaneous collaboration event for “DanMachi” that boosted user engagement. The company also advanced its mobile pipeline, with five titles in development and pre‑registrations for “AFTERLOST” underway. Cost management improved markedly, with total costs falling ¥700 million QoQ to ¥16.1 billion, driven by reduced outsourcing and streamlined operations.

FY2018 Second Quarter Financial Results

EBITDA stood at ¥2.7 billion, reflecting a 12.0 % operating margin that narrowed by 0.5 percentage points QoQ. Revenue was dominated by paid‑service sales (¥17.21 billion) and ad‑media sales (¥2.25 billion). Cost control initiatives reduced total costs by ¥1.8 billion QoQ, driven mainly by lower advertising spend and commission fees; variable costs fell ¥1.92 billion while fixed costs remained stable.

FY2016 Second Quarter Financial Results

The fiscal year 2016 second‑quarter results demonstrate that the company exceeded sales expectations, reporting net sales of ¥18.1 billion and operating income of ¥4.0 billion, a slight decline from the prior quarter but still above year‑on‑year targets. Net sales were driven primarily by paid services (¥17.09 billion) with advertising media contributing ¥1.03 billion, while operating margin narrowed to 22.1 % from 22.7 %. Total costs fell by ¥0.8 billion to ¥14.1 billion, largely due to reductions in advertising spend (down 1.61 % of sales) and commission fees, offset by modest increases in labor and rental costs. Strategic initiatives focused on native game development and marketing, with several titles entering the pipeline and TV advertising boosting sales of key IPs such as “Shometsu Toshi” and “The SAMURAI Kingdom.” Overseas native game efforts, particularly the European version of “Knights & Dragons,” showed stabilizing coin consumption and expanding sales in Europe. The web‑game segment launched a new operation business, achieving early success with IP‑based titles and establishing partnerships to broaden distribution. For the remainder of FY2016, conservative forecasts project net sales of ¥72.0 billion and operating income of ¥14.0 billion, driven by continued investment in high‑growth titles and strict cost controls, especially in server leasing and outsourcing. The company maintains a diversified portfolio across native games, web games, home‑related services, health & fitness platforms, and ad media, with a workforce of 1,542 employees across Japan, overseas studios, and corporate functions.

FY2015 Third Quarter Financial Results

The quarterly report presents FY2015 third‑quarter results for a Japanese mobile gaming and platform company, highlighting a net sales decline of ¥22.0 billion (‑9.1 % YoY) driven by softer web‑game revenue, while operating income rose to ¥4.9 billion (up 3.8 % QoQ) through aggressive cost control, notably a ¥1.10 billion cut in advertising spend and a ¥0.92 billion reduction in fixed costs.

Overseas expansion plans include localized versions of long‑running U.S. titles in Europe and China. Operational metrics show a 10 % drop in overall coin consumption to 31.3 billion, with smartphone web‑game usage rising to 77 % of total consumption. Native‑game coin consumption fell 9 % to 9.5 billion, while web‑game consumption declined 11 % to 21.7 billion, largely due to weaker legacy titles.

Strategically, the company accelerated game releases in Japan and overseas, adding IP‑based titles such as “Metal Gear Solid Social Ops” and “World Ends With You Live Remix.” Partnerships with Pokelabo, Yahoo! Japan, and SingTel expanded user reach in domestic, North American, European, Korean, and Asia‑Pacific markets. A new merchandising subsidiary was launched to monetize IP through consumer products.

Summary of Main Questions and Answers at the FY2017 Fourth Quarter GREE Results Briefing

The briefing focused on GREE’s strategic direction and financial outlook for FY2017‑Q4 and the upcoming fiscal year. The company confirmed steady progress on a smartphone adaptation of the classic PlayStation® RPG “Wild Arms,” with release timing pending from publisher ForwardWorks. Fee structures for web and native games were discussed, noting that commission ratios vary by IP strength; no definitive forecast was offered due to the sales‑mix dependency. Cost drivers for FY2018 include rising advertising spend on native titles, outsourcing to improve quality and system robustness, and costs associated with transferring overseas operations. Cost reductions stem from labor savings following the closure of development bases. GREE’s pipeline for FY2018 contains six titles, with additional projects under consideration that have yet to receive approval. Localization efforts are underway for Japanese‑developed games, with a simultaneous domestic and overseas operating system being built for one title; the company plans to expand this approach in line with its “game engine, IP, and global” strategy. Revitalization of existing titles continues through content additions, yielding positive user engagement. The company highlighted its selective approach to third‑party IP, prioritizing compatibility with existing engines and collaboration with original creators. Advertising effectiveness has improved, particularly through TV commercials that boost user acquisition and retention. GREE expressed confidence in sustaining earnings growth by expanding its development capabilities to deliver more titles for a broader audience. Strong pre‑registration responses were noted for “Library Cross Infinite” and “AKB48 Stage Fighter 2 Battle Festival,” exceeding targets and receiving enthusiastic fan feedback.

Summary of Main Questions and Answers at the FY2019 Fourth Quarter GREE Results Briefing

The briefing focused on FY2019 fourth‑quarter performance, highlighting that revenue remained solid largely due to anniversary events for flagship titles. Despite a year‑over‑year drop in coin consumption during the third and fourth quarters, the company noted that 4Q FY2019 anniversary events were more effective than those in 4Q FY2018, aided by the launch of new titles such as *In Love with NEWS* and the North American release of *DanMachi*. Looking ahead to Q1 FY2020, management projected a reactive decline in operating income because of the waning impact of those anniversary events. Forecasted operating income was expected to fall between ¥0.5 billion and just under ¥1.0 billion, with plans to introduce new titles from Q2 onward. The company also emphasized its newly developed simultaneous release system, enabling coordinated launches in Japan and overseas based on each title’s characteristics. Regarding resource allocation, the company confirmed it would continue to develop new titles while maintaining a substantial workforce on existing games, preserving its current balance. The briefing explained that the roughly 40% year‑over‑year decline in operating income was largely attributable to a downturn in browser game revenue, which constitutes over 90% of the company’s overall income. The discussion underscored that while segment‑level details were not disclosed, the decline in browser game earnings was the primary driver behind the overall income contraction.
