Financial Results Briefing Materials for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending December 2026

In Q1 FY2026 December, subscription revenue and contracted development grew, resulting in year-on-year increases in both revenue and operating income. Revenue, operating income and net income are also progressing ahead of plan for the full year, but the operating income forecast for the full year was left unchanged because the upside in profit will be allocated to advertising investment in Q2.
