Second-Quarter Financial Results Presentation Materials for the Fiscal Year Ending September 2026

In the second quarter of the fiscal year ending September 2026, revenue and EBITDA significantly exceeded the year-earlier period, reaching record highs on a quarterly basis. While the Creator Business and IRIS grew, North America posted a loss due to higher SG&A expenses, and gross profit in the video and CTV businesses is also expected to decline. Accordingly, the full-year forecast was left unchanged without an upward revision.

The reasons the company gives

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

The Creator Business benefited from strong performance in existing businesses such as merchandise and P2C, as well as large-scale events. In the Product Business, IRIS and the Sumika service contributed, while the North American business posted a loss due to higher SG&A expenses reflecting seasonality and the strengthening of its organizational structure. Given the need to assess the decline in gross profit in the video and CTV areas of the Product Business from the third quarter onward, as well as the recovery in profitability in the North American business, the Company decided not to revise its full-year forecast upward.
