Items this document does not state (18)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue declined because both segments reported lower revenue. In the Content segment, lower revenue and profit were driven by lower revenue per title amid market maturation and intensifying competition, a decrease in the number of hit titles, and a higher cost ratio. In the Platform segment, growth in ARPPU did not fully offset the decline in MAU. Meanwhile, lower advertising and promotional expenses and the absence of one-time costs related to the head office relocation and other items incurred in the previous fiscal year contributed to higher profit in the Platform segment.
