  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, which was launched in 2016. Recently, the IP business with 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".

      As a result, during the cumulative consolidated first quarter, Media & IP Business and Game Business recorded significant increases in revenue and profit, and achieved a record high for the first quarter. Net sales grew 14.0% year on year to ¥232,377 million, and operating income amounted to ¥23,395 million (181.8% increase). Ordinary income amounted to ¥24,212 million (174.9% increase). Additionally, AbemaTV Inc., a consolidated subsidiary not subject to the group tax sharing system, reported its first quarterly operating income since its establishment in fiscal year 2015. Net income attributable to owners of parent amounted to ¥12,462 million (145.7% increase).

      Earnings by business segments are discussed below.

      1. Media & IP Business

        The Media & IP Business includes "ABEMA, " "WINTICKET" and the Anime & IP Division, etc.

        Net sales made up of multiple layers were strong and amounted to ¥62,617 million for the period, a 12.5% year-on-year increase. While making proactive content investments, operating income increased significantly by 246.1% to ¥4,900 million, driven by the consolidated subsidiary AbemaTV Inc., which turned profitable on a quarterly basis.

      2. Internet Advertisement Business

        The Group's Internet Advertisement Business includes the Internet Advertisement Division, and the AI Division, etc.

        Due to the loss of a major client during the previous third quarter, Internet Advertisement Business recorded

        ¥114,642 million in net sales, 2.7% year on year decrease. Operating income was ¥4,379 million, a 27.2% year-on-year decrease.

      3. Game Business

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

        Due to the strong performance of existing titles and overseas expansion, net sales amount into ¥64,722 million, a 69.2% year-on-year increase. Owing to its high profitability, operating income was ¥17,675 million, a 427.2% year-on-year increase.

      4. Investment Development Business

      Total assets at the end of this consolidated first quarter have decreased by ¥32,470 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year and amounted to ¥524,692 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 have decreased by ¥24,273 million compared to the end of previous fiscal year and amounted to

      ¥257,207 million. It is mainly due to a decrease in income tax payable resulting from income tax payment.

      Equity has decreased by ¥8,197 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year and amounted to ¥267,484 million. It is mainly due to a decrease in non-controlling interests owing to the dividend payment of consolidated subsidiaries.
