-- Kakao(KRX:035720)公布第一季度净利润增长,其平台和广告业务的强劲增长抵消了内容业务表现不均衡的影响。 净利润同比增长13%,从去年同期的2003亿韩元增至2268亿韩元。 这家韩国互联网公司周四向韩国交易所提交的文件显示,其第一季度归属于股东的净利润为1717亿韩元,与去年同期的1719亿韩元基本持平。 营收同比增长11%,从1.75万亿韩元增至1.94万亿韩元,但低于Visible Alpha此前预测的2.02万亿韩元。 Kakao的核心平台部门(包括其移动业务和Kakao Pay业务)本季度销售额为1.18万亿韩元,同比增长16%,这主要得益于广告需求的强劲增长以及移动和支付服务的增长。 在财报电话会议上,Kakao首席执行官郑信娥表示,公司计划在下半年拓展其代理商务业务,包括将人工智能购物服务整合到KakaoTalk中。 据韩联社报道,郑信娥表示:“我们正与主要垂直领域的企业合作,打造一个主动式、端到端的代理服务,连接从搜索到支付的各个环节。” 她补充说,用户有望在公司下次财报发布前体验到Kakao人工智能商务服务的早期版本。 公司表示,第一季度KakaoTalk在韩国国内的月活跃用户数保持稳定,约为4960万。 受音乐和媒体业务增长的推动,内容收入增长4.7%,达到7594亿韩元。 在内容方面,专辑销量增长和全球演唱会规模扩大带动了音乐收入的增长,而媒体收入则受益于更多作品的贡献。 然而,由于日本漫画市场需求疲软,以及平台和 IP 发行业务的商品交易总额下降,故事收入仍然面临压力。
