    「In addition to these upfront investments, we are investing in businesses related to intellectual property (IP) held or licensed by the Group. If the benefits expected from these investments in IP businesses fail to materialize as expected due to intensifying market competition or changes in user needs, or if the value of the relevant IP is impaired, the investments may not be recoverable.」

    In addition to the existing platform and human resources investments, the company newly identifies the risk that investments in IP businesses may not be recovered as expected.

    「The Group has traditionally pursued these initiatives aggressively and made ongoing investments, including the recruitment of talented personnel, particularly in development.

    The company explains that, in response to the risk that the benefits of upfront investment will not materialize, operating profit and operating cash flow became positive as the results of investment emerged and through cost management.
