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 nine months ended June 30, 2026, the group's three core businesses-the Media & IP Business, Internet Advertisement Business, and Game Business-recorded higher revenue. As a result, net sales totaled ¥709,272 million (an increase of 12.2% year on year), operating income amounted to ¥67,449 million (an increase of 38.2% year on year), ordinary income amounted to ¥69,182 million (an increase of 42.3% year on year), and profit attributable to owners of the parent amounted to ¥36,035 million (an increase of 49.5% year on year). 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 ¥183,931 million (an increase of 8.9% year on year). Operating income increased significantly to ¥13,178 million (an increase of 88.0% year on year), driven by AbemaTV, Inc. Internet Advertisement Business The Internet Advertisement Business includes the Internet Advertisement Division, the AI Division, and others. For the nine months ended June 30, 2026, net sales totaled ¥363,687 million (an increase of 4.9% year on year), while operating income amounted to ¥15,425 million (a decrease of 1.7% year on year). However, net sales have continued to maintain a high year-on-year growth rate since the previous quarter. Game Business The Game Business includes Cygames, Inc., Applibot, Inc., QualiArts, Inc., Colorful Palette Inc., and Sumzap, Inc., and others. For the nine months ended June 30, 2026, net sales totaled ¥193,391 million (an increase of 37.8% year on year), driven mainly by the strong performance of flagship titles and the global success of casual games. Operating income amounted to ¥50,923 million (an increase of 44.8% year on year), resulting in significant increases in both sales and profit. 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 ¥243 million (a decrease of 83.0% year on year), and operating loss amounted to ¥1,648 million (compared to an operating loss of ¥860 million in the same period of the previous year). Overview of Financial Position during the Period (Financial position) As of June 30, 2026, total assets decreased by ¥5,989 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year and amounted to ¥551,172 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 ¥28,206 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year and amounted to ¥253,275 million. It is mainly due to a decrease in income tax payable resulting from income tax payment. Equity increased by ¥22,216 million compared to the end of the previous fiscal year and amounted to ¥297,897 million. It is mainly due to an increase in retained earnings owing to the recording of net income attributable to owners of the parent.
