-- Kakao(KRX:035720)公佈第一季淨利成長,其平台和廣告業務的強勁成長抵消了內容業務表現不均衡的影響。 淨利年增13%,從去年同期的2,003億韓元增至2,268億韓元。 這家韓國網路公司週四向韓國交易所提交的文件顯示,其第一季歸屬於股東的淨利為1,717億韓元,與去年同期的1,719億韓元基本持平。 營收年增11%,從1.75兆韓元增加至1.94兆韓元,但低於Visible Alpha先前預測的2.02兆韓元。 Kakao的核心平台部門(包括其行動業務和Kakao Pay業務)本季銷售額為1.18兆韓元,較去年同期成長16%,這主要得益於廣告需求的強勁成長以及行動和支付服務的成長。 在財報電話會議上,Kakao執行長鄭信娥表示,公司計劃在下半年拓展其代理商商務業務,包括將人工智慧購物服務整合到KakaoTalk中。 根據韓聯社報道,鄭信娥表示:“我們正與主要垂直領域的企業合作,打造一個主動式、端到端的代理服務,連接從搜索到支付的各個環節。” 她補充說,用戶預計在公司下次財報發布前體驗到Kakao人工智慧商務服務的早期版本。 公司表示,第一季KakaoTalk在韓國國內的月活躍用戶數保持穩定,約4,960萬。 受音樂和媒體業務成長的推動,內容收入成長4.7%,達到7,594億韓元。 在內容方面,專輯銷售成長和全球演唱會規模擴大帶動了音樂收入的成長,而媒體收入則受益於更多作品的貢獻。 然而,由於日本漫畫市場需求疲軟,以及平台和 IP 發行業務的商品交易總額下降,故事收入仍面臨壓力。
