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.The sales forecast for the Worldview business was raised because orders for crane game prizes and overseas merchandise sales were strong. The profit forecast was left unchanged after factoring in an annual negative impact of approximately ¥800 million on operating profit from yen depreciation, front-loaded investment in the Girls Trend business in the second half, and investment in new businesses. The decline in profit from the Worldview business in the second quarter was due to the main launches of high-priced hobby products being pushed back to the third quarter or later.
