Supplementary Explanatory Materials for the Second Quarter Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ending December 2026

In the first half, growth in industry-specific recurring-revenue businesses was offset by lower Web advertising rates, the loss of one-off revenue, and revised contract terms in the Solutions Business, resulting in lower consolidated revenue and operating profit. The full-year forecast remains unchanged, and the Company aims to recover through new partnership projects and the accumulation of recurring revenue in the second half.

The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue declined as the drop in Web advertising rates continued, one-off revenue from beauty-related products that had performed well in the previous year disappeared, and the market for performance-based advertising matured, while contract terms for GMOリピータス were revised. The main factor behind the decline in operating profit was lower gross profit, while operating expenses were roughly unchanged year on year.
