The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The company indicates that the decrease in operating profit was due in part to a year-on-year decline in gross profit, but does not explain the detailed factors. It states that ordinary income increased due to interest income of ¥154 million and foreign exchange gains of ¥68 million, while net income increased due to a ¥1,384 million gain on the sale of shares in affiliates. For its forecast for the fiscal year ending June 2027, the company says it has conservatively incorporated assumptions for the Palworld Official Card Game and BanG Dream! Our Notes.
