  1. Results of Operations

    1. Overview of Results of Operations during the Period

      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 six months ended March 31, 2026, the Media & IP Business, Internet Advertisement Business, and Game Business recorded higher revenue. As a result, net sales totaled ¥478,584 million (an increase of 13.6% year on year), operating income amounted to ¥52,459 million (an increase of 79.8% year on year), ordinary income amounted to

      ¥53,920 million (an increase of 84.8% year on year), and profit attributable to owners of the parent amounted to ¥27,336 million (an increase of 72.3% year on year). Each of these figures reached a record high for an interim consolidated period.

      Earnings by business segments are discussed below.

      1. 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 ¥124,812 million (an increase of 10.7% year on year). Operating income increased significantly to ¥10,396 million (an increase of 119.8% year on year), driven by AbemaTV, Inc.

      2. Internet Advertisement Business

        The Internet Advertisement Business includes the Internet Advertisement Division, the AI Division, and others. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, net sales totaled ¥242,349 million (an increase of 3.0% year on year), while operating income amounted to ¥11,275 million (a decrease of 6.5% year on year). In this second quarter, however, both net sales and operating income increased year on year, indicating a recovery.

      3. Game Business

        The Game Business includes Cygames, Inc., Applibot, Inc., QualiArts, Inc., Colorful Palette Inc., and Sumzap, Inc., and others.

        For the six months ended March 31, 2026, net sales totaled ¥132,227 million (an increase of 47.4% year on year), driven mainly by the strong performance of existing titles and the continued expansion of overseas business.

        Operating income amounted to ¥38,596 million (an increase of 106.3% year on year), reflecting high profitability.

      4. 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 ¥235 million (a decrease of 62.6% year on year), and operating loss amounted to ¥764 million (compared to an operating loss of ¥749 million in the same period of the previous year).

    2. Overview of Financial Position during the Period

      (Financial position)

      As of March 31, 2026, total assets decreased by ¥652 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year and amounted to ¥556,509 million. It is mainly due to a decrease in cash and deposits resulting from payments of corporate taxes and dividends, among other factors.

      Total liabilities decreased by ¥9,356 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year and amounted to

      ¥272,125 million. It is mainly due to a decrease in income tax payable resulting from income tax payment. Equity increased by ¥8,703 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year and amounted to ¥284,384 million. It is mainly due to an increase in retained earnings owing to the recording of net income attributable to owners of the parent.

      (Cash flows)

      As of March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents decreased by ¥48,202million from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥177,949 million.

      The following is a summary of the major factors affecting the cash flow.

      1. Cash flow from operating activities

        Net cash provided by operating activities was ¥19,612 million inflow (¥23,786 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.

      2. Cash flow from investing activities

        Net cash used in investing activities was ¥48,104 million outflow (¥9,952 million outflow in the same period of the previous fiscal year), primarily due to included payments into time deposits.

      3. Cash flow from financing activities

      Net cash provided by financing activities was ¥20,352 million outflow (¥24,782 million outflow in the same period of the previous fiscal year), primarily due to dividends paid to non-controlling interests.
