Summary of Q&A from the briefing on financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026

The full-year earnings forecast was left unchanged at revenue of ¥17.0 billion and operating profit of ¥1.0 billion. Although the sales mix in the second half, including the game 『ヒロサバ』 and the GPU server business, could lead to lower margins, the company indicated that it would proceed with investments in AI- and VTuber-related technologies and investor relations activities.

The reasons the company gives

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

The composition of revenue differs between the second quarter and the second half, with the second half affected by the gross accounting of 『ヒロサバ』 and the GPU server business, which does not have a high margin. The company judged that performance was progressing smoothly at this point and left its full-year forecast unchanged.
