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.

In the Product business, gross profit declined due to a change in the distribution channel with a major customer, although strong performance by IRIS and スミカ mitigated the impact. In the Creator Business, revenue from major events and merchandise was concentrated in the first half, while the North American business posted lower profit due to higher personnel expenses and other factors. In addition, office relocation expenses and the transfer of corporate functions affected results.
