Cyberlinks acquires Xis Lab, merges with Synergy to boost AI cloud business

Cyberlinks announced on October 17, 2025, the acquisition of all shares of Xis Lab Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal Entertainment Corporation. This transaction, totaling JPY 5 million with an additional JPY 27 million estimated for advisory fees, makes Xis Lab a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cyberlinks by November 28, 2025. Following the acquisition, Cyberlinks' wholly-owned subsidiary, Synergy Co., will absorb Xis Lab in a merger effective December 1, 2025, with Synergy as the surviving company.

The strategic move integrates Xis Lab's advanced AI, particularly its natural language processing "CAIWA" platform, with Synergy's "ActiveCity" municipal document management system. This aims to significantly improve document search efficiency and enhance public services within Cyberlinks' government cloud business, a key growth strategy leveraging AI technology for operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Both Cyberlinks and Universal Entertainment anticipate the impact of the share acquisition and merger on their respective fiscal year 2025 financial results to be minor. Cyberlinks projects JPY 17,741 million in consolidated sales and JPY 1,147 million in net profit attributable to owners of parent for FY2025. Universal Entertainment forecasts JPY 150,000 million in consolidated sales and JPY 800 million in net profit attributable to owners of parent for the same period.
