Partial Correction to FY2023 Consolidated Financial Results (Japanese GAAP)

CyberAgent’s FY2023 Japanese‑GAAP financials reveal a modest 1.3 % increase in net sales to ¥719,451 million, yet operating income plunged 66.9 % and net income attributable to owners fell 84.5 % to ¥3,540 million. Total assets rose by ¥93.3 billion to ¥475,222 million, largely due to convertible bond issuance and long‑term loans, while equity increased modestly to ¥228.45 billion. Cash balances grew from ¥168,035 million to ¥201,780 million, supported by significant financing activity that offset higher operating cash outflows. Segment analysis shows a turnaround in profitability. The internet advertisement business moved from a ¥12.9 billion loss to a ¥17.5 billion profit, and the game business shifted from a ¥13.2 billion loss to a ¥22.7 billion profit, contributing to total segment income of ¥29.5 billion versus a ¥73 million loss in FY2022. Corporate expenses increased to ¥7.1 billion, and goodwill amortization rose slightly to ¥348 million. Despite the operating downturn, CyberAgent reiterated a FY2024 sales forecast of 4.2 % growth to ¥750 billion, with expected operating income of ¥30 billion and net income of ¥8 billion. The corrections emphasize the company’s reliance on financing to support asset growth while highlighting a strategic shift toward more profitable media and internet advertising segments.
