Supplementary Explanatory Material for the Second Quarter Financial Results for Fiscal 2026

In the second quarter, strong ticket sales for performances by visiting artists and sporting events brought transaction volume to approximately ¥180 billion, a record-high level. However, profit fell below the year-earlier level due to the drop-off in revenue related to Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai and system migration costs, while the full-year forecast was left unchanged.

The reasons the company gives

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

Strong ticket sales, the expansion of company-promoted events, the full-scale opening of Tokyo Tatemono Pia Theatre & Conference, and the regular publication of the magazine “Tobu! Pia” pushed up transaction volume. However, profit fell below the year-earlier level due to the drop-off in revenue related to Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai, costs for migrating to the next-generation system, and higher costs for strengthening cybersecurity measures.
