The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Net sales increased in the licensing and tie-up business as revenue related to “hololive Dreams” exceeded expectations. However, sales declined in the streaming and content, live and events, and merchandising businesses due to the reaction to the concentration of major music releases and performances in the previous year, the loss of sales of products related to graduating talents, and a review of the product mix. The reasons cited for the increase in profit were an improved sales mix resulting from the expansion of the highly profitable game-related business and restrained growth in selling, general and administrative expenses through optimal allocation of personnel across the company.
