CyberAgent released its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 in English, and in a nutshell, things are looking very good for the Ameba operator.
The company summarizes its financial performance in that time frame as follows:
Net sales reached 32,146 million yen (up 11.7% from the same period of the previous year); operating income reached 4,915 million yen (up 38.1%); ordinary income reached 4,888 million yen (up 40.0%); and quarterly net income reached 2,054 million yen (up 39.7%).
In terms of sales and operating profit, CyberAgent never had a better quarter. The profit margin now stands at 15.3%, the highest for the company ever.
Page views for the Ameba network (including Ameba blogs, Ameba Pigg and ad network AMoAd, etc.) are apparently going through the roof: in December 2011, CyberAgent recorded 32.8 billion page views for Ameba – up 13.3 billion page views from the same month last year.
The number of Ameba subscribers hit the 20 million (20.02, to be exact) mark, which is up a whopping 7.10 million from the same month of the previous year. Virtual world Ameba Pigg now has over 10 million users in Japan, an impressive number.
