Stolen from vt. Looks like Niji overall increased a ton YoY but EN is down like 20% even with all the 3D debuts, the AR live, and announcement of the concert at AX.
So who's betting NijiEN gets axed & the talents folded into JP?
EN decline is the same rate as it has been all year. Livestreaming profit (membership and donos) is down across the board. They made a ton of money with merchandising. You know, the place where the talents only get a minimal return from.Is it me or did they take no hit to their numbers whatsoever?
Some of those things are not part of these financials, although I don't think they would have made a great impact either way.even with all the 3D debuts, the AR live, and announcement of the concert at AX.
Holy shit, didn't they just set their savings on fire with a buy back less than a year ago?View attachment 71550
They're doing another fucking buyback, jesus they don't learn. Another67 billion down the drain.
Agree, that's the only thing that makes sense. Gonna be annoying for a bit, though, bet me that Niji defenders will point at the total company incline while Riku quietly sharpens the guillotine for EN in the background.This report is pretty dodgy. The reason is back in Q3, They would report the gain of Kuro and KuroEN separately. However, this time they just reported the general earning from Kuro. It could only mean one thing:
KuroEN earning is so fucked that it would be better to compile into Kurosanji earning so it won't look shit
I guess sooner and later the KuroEN will be wrap up, and integrate into Kuro main branch
Actually, they have it, it is called management Policy for mid-term growth. But inside is mostly full of shit:I actually had never read a full Niji IR report, it's honestly insane to me how bare bones it is compared to Cover's.
Cover spends pages upon pages explaining their vision and plans for the future and how their business works and they throw Holoindie and Holoearth in there. Anykuro's is just numbers, numbers and gtfo.
Yeah, they were doing it separately the whole year and just decided to change it up now. Okay, Riku, sure.This report is pretty dodgy.

Edit: Holy fuck, it actually drop from 1165 to 1074. The next quarter for KuroEN earning probably drop below 1000 million JPY
Isn't the stock doing okay right this second because they're doing a buyback? Wouldn't that artificially drive up the stock value?Interestingly the Anycolor stock had a pretty good past 5 days. I don't see much of an immediate reaction to the report yet though (don't even know if the market is open)

Buyback was just announced today and is happening in the future. This rise can't have been a reaction to that.Isn't the stock doing okay right this second because they're doing a buyback? Wouldn't that artificially drive up the stock value?
Market has been closed for 40 min as of this post. Companies tend to release reports after market close so the timing makes some senseInterestingly the Anycolor stock had a pretty good past 5 days.I don't see much of an immediate reaction to the report yet thoughI think the market closed with the release of the report

I missed that section entirely.This is the interesting chart. Livestreaming revenue is superchat and memberships (and ads, but those are marginal for streams). While you can see it's been in slow decline for two years, Q3 to Q4 is the biggest drop in a while. In fact merch also dropped, as did sponsorships.
edit: By far the biggest impact on the EN branch has been losing the Luxiem CN fans. Looking at FY2023 (mostly calendar 2022), both livestream and merch rev reached half of JP, which is actually kind of crazy. And then that drops into a pit in 2023. Compared to that Selen is... negligible. Or maybe more accurately the final nail in the coffin.
EN Revenue going down by about 10%. I assume next quarter it will go down another 10% or so.Is it me or did they take no hit to their numbers whatsoever?
The sisters are celebrating in absolute smugness, we lost, the alliance has been defeated...
Yeah that shit was suspicious as hell. They hid EN. Also interestingly enough EN Revenue at an all time low (would be nice to have other reports to compare it to at what point its at. I assume it might be at around the same level as it was at around the time Ethyria debutted (Because Luxiem and Noctyx were massive booms).This report is pretty dodgy. The reason is back in Q3, They would report the gain of Kuro and KuroEN separately. However, this time they just reported the general earning from Kuro. It could only mean one thing:

If you drag a talent into the woods and blow its brains out but no one is there to hear it. Does it make a sound?Oh, also, they said there were two graduations from EN. I guess they don't talk about terminations.
I believe they fold it into "Commerce", possibly to hide as much info as possible about their shortcomings. Hella sus like everything else this company does.How is merch accounted for? Don't they just sell a shitload of merch to the JP retail stores like ANIMATE and such?
