Financial Results Presentation for the Second Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending November 2026

In the second quarter of the fiscal year ending November 2026, revenue and operating income declined into the red, due to lower revenue from contract development, the online business and the human resources business, as well as factors including a provision for losses on a 3DCG video production project. The full-year forecast now calls for an operating loss, and the year-end dividend forecast has been changed to no dividend.

The reasons the company gives

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

The factors cited include uncertainty about the outlook due to higher prices and the international situation, deterioration in the domestic gaming industry's market environment, stagnant inquiries from the entertainment industry, the completion of major core projects, ¥79 million in provision for losses on orders related to a 3DCG video production project, lost opportunities to win orders for other projects due to project delays, the termination of an online service, and a mismatch between demand for human resources and the preferences of prospective temporary workers.
