KLab Inc. reported first‑half fiscal 2018 results that marked a significant revenue surge, driven largely by the successful launch of “Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team.” Consolidated revenue rose 46.3% to ¥15,986 million, while operating income increased 31.7% to ¥2,593 million and profit attributable to owners of parent grew 17.8% to ¥1,714 million. Net income per share climbed from ¥39.65 to ¥46.02, reflecting a 16% rise in earnings. Total assets expanded by ¥324 million to ¥18,934 million, with net assets growing 9.3% to ¥13,777 million and the equity ratio improving from 67.4% to 72.7%. Cash balances fell, whereas software in progress and investment securities rose, indicating a shift toward development and strategic investments. The company maintained its dividend policy at ¥0 per share for the year, with a special dividend of ¥9 issued in February 2018. Forecasts for full fiscal year 2018 present a revenue range of ¥30,000–33,000 million and operating income between ¥2,750–4,250 million, reflecting sensitivity to new title performance. KLab adopted the ASBJ Practical Issues Task Force No. 36 accounting standard for employee stock‑option transactions effective April 2018, and disclosed significant treasury‑stock disposals that increased capital surplus while reducing retained earnings. Geographically, the report covers Japan only, covering the period January 1 to June 30, 2018.

KLab Inc. reported a strong first‑half performance for fiscal year 2014, with consolidated revenue rising to ¥9.59 billion from ¥7.12 billion in the same period of FY2013, a 34.6 % increase driven by continued growth of the “Love Live! School Idol Festival” franchise and new titles such as “Celestial Craft Fleet.” Operating income improved to ¥696 million, up from a loss of ¥881 million in FY2013, and net income reached ¥542 million versus a loss of ¥598 million previously. Net assets expanded to ¥6.21 billion, reflecting a 66.5 % equity ratio and significant capital stock increases following a new subscription by Deutsche Bank London. Total assets grew to ¥9.26 billion, largely due to higher accounts receivable, while liabilities fell sharply as short‑term loans were reduced. The company’s cash and deposits declined modestly, but overall liquidity remained robust. No dividends were declared in FY2013 or FY2014, and the forecast for the first three quarters of FY2014 projects revenue of ¥15.59 billion and net income of ¥1.03 billion, assuming continued success of key mobile titles. The report notes a change in fiscal year end from August 31 to December 31, affecting comparative periods. A subsidiary, Mediaincruise Co., Ltd., was removed from consolidation following a merger. Accounting practices remained consistent, with no restatements or significant policy changes. The company’s focus on cost control—reducing personnel and office expenses—supported the turnaround in profitability.
