Presentation Materials for the First Quarter Financial Results Briefing for the Fiscal Year Ending December 2026

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026, revenue and gross profit increased significantly, driven by M&A and growth in the corporate brand support business, with progress ahead of the full-year forecast. Operating profit fell below the prior-year level due to the downsizing of the creator support business and higher fixed costs, but the company expects these effects to run their course and operating profit to return to a growth trend from Q2 onward.

Ordinary incomeOperating profit marginNumber of stores and locationsPayout ratioCapital expendituresOrders received and order backlogMarket Size / ShareKey points of the Q&A

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 and gross profit increased due to strong performance in the corporate business and the contribution of the three M&A transactions completed in January 2026. Operating profit declined due to the downsizing of the creator support business, higher fixed costs associated with expanding domestic office space, and one-time expenses related to growth investments in M&A and logistics efficiency improvements.
