Actual results for the second quarter (interim period) of the fiscal year ending March 2027 exceeded the previous forecasts for revenue, operating profit, ordinary profit and interim net income attributable to owners of the parent. The full-year forecasts were not revised this time, and the company said it would continue to review them in light of the business environment and the crypto asset market.

The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document. The percentage change shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the rate.

Reason for the revision

The return to profitability resulting from structural reforms in the spinning business, earnings contributions from the mobility business acquired through M&A, the recovery in the market price of the Bitcoin held by the company, and fee income from the completion of one financial advisory mandate contributed to the upside. Selling, general and administrative expenses were also broadly in line with the plan.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Structural reforms in the spinning business, including withdrawal from unprofitable product lines, fixed-cost reductions and price revisions, produced results and returned the business to profitability. The mobility business acquired through M&A in March of the previous consolidated fiscal year contributed to earnings. The market price of the Bitcoin held by the company has been recovering, and the M&A business division completed one mandate for financial advisory services and recorded fee income. Selling, general and administrative expenses were broadly in line with the plan.
