Financial Results for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending December 2026 [Japanese GAAP] (Consolidated)

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026, net sales fell 37.1% year on year to ¥3,249 million and operating income fell 82.2% to ¥241 million, resulting in a substantial decline in both revenue and earnings. Although the earnings forecast was revised, the company has presented a forecast only for the six months ending June 2026, rather than for the full year, because short-term fluctuations are significant and a reasonable calculation is difficult.

Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Competition intensified due to the entry of IP-based titles and overseas companies into the gaming market, while users' required quality standards rose, leading to longer development periods and higher development costs. Although KPIs for long-running titles naturally declined, events, the addition of new characters, title releases and contract services contributed to earnings.
