The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The Amusement business was driven by solid performance in kids' amusement, while the Music and Video business benefited from strong secondary-use revenue from anime content. In the Digital Content business, sales of new and repeat titles progressed steadily, and profit improved because no major development costs were recorded. The termination of the capital and business alliance was attributed to the Tencent Group's review of its investment portfolio and capital allocation policy, as well as changes in the business environment.
