Susumu Fujita
President & CEO
CyberAgent, Inc.
Continually Working towards the Goal of Becoming and Achieving Dramatic Growth as a Highly Profitable Internet Media Company
Ever since being listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s Mothers market in March 2000, CyberAgent, Inc. has continued to grow as a comprehensive Internet services company while being fostered by the stock market. After five years of anticipatory investment, Ameba, our high-priority business, has developed into one of Japan’s leading Internet media. In the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the Ameba business moved into the black, and CyberAgent took a new step forward toward becoming a highly profitable Internet media company. Such developments were made possible through your understanding and support, for which we are deeply grateful.
CyberAgent’s consolidated net sales in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 were 93.8 billion yen, resulting in the 11th consecutive year of growth since the company’s founding. Although there was some effect of the economic slump seen, the consolidated operating income was 4.4 billion yen. In the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, we will calculate on year-on-year earnings growth of more 1.5 billion yen for our Ameba business and improve the operating margin from 4.8% to 7.1%.
CyberAgent will continue to vigorously push forward towards transforming into a highly-profitable company focused around Ameba and achieving the major goal of becoming a company that is a hallmark of the 21st century.
