Reason for the revision

Net sales fell below the previous fiscal year's actual results due in part to the continued pursuit of a customer acquisition strategy focused on profitability in the D2C business and the optimal allocation of advertising expenses. Ordinary profit declined due mainly to a decrease in gross profit accompanying the decline in net sales and a decrease in operating profit resulting from advertising investments in the fourth quarter. Net income declined because the Company recognized a ¥627 million valuation loss on shares of an affiliated company following a decline in the fair value of the EC Studio shares.
