- Overview of Results of Operations
The CyberAgent Group is expanding its business around "ABEMA", a new TV of the future launched in 2016. Recently, the IP business centered on a multimedia franchise strategy has been growing rapidly in Japan and worldwide. For this reason, the group is also working to strengthen its IP business, which has a high affinity with "ABEMA".
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026, our three core businesses - Media & IP Business, Internet Advertisement Business, and Game Business - performed strongly. Net sales reached ¥970,618 million (an increase of 11.1% year on year), and have grown continuously for 29 years since our founding. Operating profit significantly exceeded the earnings forecast announced at the beginning of the fiscal year, increasing to ¥77,249 million (an increase of 7.7% year on year). Ordinary profit was ¥78,884 million (an increase of 10.0% year on year), and profit attributable to owners of the parent was ¥43,001 million (an increase of 35.8% year on year), a record high since the Company's founding.
Earnings by business segments are discussed below.
Media & IP Business
The Media & IP Business, which includes "ABEMA", "WINTICKET", the Anime & IP Division, Cypic, Inc., and others, has strongly built up revenue in a layered manner. Net sales totaled ¥250,045 million (an increase of 8.0% year on year). Operating income increased significantly and doubled from the previous fiscal year to ¥14,804 million (an increase of 103.0% year on year), driven by improved losses at AbemaTV, Inc. and other factors.
Internet Advertisement Business
The Internet Advertisement Business includes the Internet Advertisement Division, the AI Division, and others. Leveraging its strengths in sales capabilities and AI technology, net sales reached a record high of ¥487,680 million (an increase of 5.7% year on year). Operating income amounted to ¥18,521 million (an increase of 5.2% year on year), an increase in profit from the previous fiscal year despite continued investment in AI.
Game Business
The Game Business includes Cygames, Inc., Applibot, Inc., QualiArts, Inc., Colorful Palette Inc., Sumzap, Inc., GOODROID,Inc. and others.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026, net sales grew significantly by ¥277,365 million (an increase of 28.0% year on year), driven by strong performance of flagship titles and overseas expansion, as well as the success of new titles. Operating income amounted to ¥60,021 million (a decrease of 0.1% year on year).
Investment Development Business
The Investment Development Business consists of the CyberAgent corporate venture capital business and the fund operations of CyberAgent Capital, Inc. Net sales totaled ¥358 million (a decrease of 78.5% year on year), and operating loss amounted to ¥2,007 million (compared to an operating loss of ¥1,515million in the same period of the previous year).
- Overview of Financial Position
As of September 30, 2026, total assets increased by ¥38,663 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year and amounted to ¥595,826 million. It is mainly due to an increase in notes and accounts receivable - trade, and contract assets resulting from an increase in net sales.
Total liabilities increased by ¥14,282 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year and amounted to ¥295,763 million. It is mainly due to an increase in accounts payable - trade resulting from an increase in net sales.
Equity increased by¥24,381 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year and amounted to ¥300,063 million. It is mainly due to an increase in retained earnings owing to the recording of net income attributable to owners of the parent.
- Overview of Cash Flows
As of September 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents decreased by ¥25,317 million from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥200,834 million.
The following is a summary of the major factors affecting the cash flows in this fiscal year.
Cash flows from operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was ¥64,676 million inflow (¥79,518 million inflow in the same period of the previous fiscal year). This was primarily due to the recording of net income gains and income tax payments.
Cash flows from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was ¥68,444 million outflow (¥30,825 million outflow in the same period of the previous fiscal year), primarily due to included payments into time deposits.
Cash flows from financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was ¥22,117 million outflow (¥33,860 million outflow in the same period of the previous fiscal year), primarily due to dividends paid to non-controlling interests.
- Forecast
The CyberAgent Group has exceeded the earnings forecasts announced at the beginning of each fiscal year for three consecutive fiscal years, starting with the fiscal year ended September 2024, and has achieved three consecutive years of growth in both net sales and operating income. The earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending September 2027 is based on the information currently available. In addition to consolidated net sales, consolidated operating income, and DOE, which have been the Group's key financial indicators, the Group will set an ROE of 20% as a benchmark, excluding the impact of extraordinary losses and other special factors, from the fiscal year ending September 2027 onward.
For the fiscal year ending September 2027, the Group forecasts continued double-digit growth in consolidated net sales, with net sales of ¥1,070 billion, up 10.2% year on year; operating income of ¥66 billion; ordinary income of ¥66 billion; and profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥35 billion.
The Company regards returning profits to shareholders as a key management priority and intends to continue paying dividends while enhancing shareholder value over the medium to long term through business growth, improvements in capital efficiency, and other measures.
Accordingly, the Company will maintain its key financial indicator of a DOE of more than 5%, established in the fiscal year ended September 2017, and forecasts a year-end dividend of ¥22 per share for the fiscal year ending September 2027. This matter is scheduled to be submitted to the 30th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, scheduled to be held in December 2027.
The forecasts above are based on information currently available, and actual results may differ significantly due to various uncertainties.
