Summary of Financial Results for Third Quarter of Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2017
KLab Inc. reported a strong third‑quarter performance for fiscal year 2017, with consolidated revenue rising 25.0 % to ¥18,238 million compared to the same period in FY2016. Operating income surged 211.0 % to ¥3,206 million, and ordinary profit reached ¥3,767 million, resulting in a net income attributable to owners of parent of ¥2,588 million. The company’s comprehensive income for the quarter was ¥2,602 million, reversing a loss of ¥740 million in FY2016. Net assets increased to ¥11,922 million, up 24.4 % from the prior year, while the equity ratio improved to 69.6 %. Total assets grew to ¥17,098 million, driven largely by higher cash balances and intangible asset gains.
The company forecast FY2017 revenue at ¥26,000 million, operating income at ¥4,300 million, ordinary income at ¥4,900 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent at ¥3,300 million. These forecasts reflect recent favorable trends and are presented as single‑figure estimates rather than ranges.
KLab’s operating results were largely supported by the success of mobile titles such as “Bleach: Brave Souls,” “Captain Tsubasa ～ Tatakae Dream Team,” and “Utano Princesama Shining Live.” Cost of sales increased 10.4 % mainly due to higher royalties, while selling‑general‑administrative expenses rose 12.4 % from increased advertising spend. Non‑operating income benefited from a ¥512 million foreign exchange gain.
