Cumulative through Q2 of FY2018: higher revenue, lower operating and ordinary profit, and lower net income

「Under these circumstances, consolidated revenue for the first half of the current consolidated fiscal year increased by ¥3,702 million, or 1.8%, year on year to ¥207,261 million. This reflected slightly higher terrestrial television advertising revenue, as strong time advertising revenue offset the decline in spot advertising revenue, higher content sales revenue from the expansion of video streaming, higher box-office revenue from the film business, and the impact of ACM Co., Ltd., which became a consolidated subsidiary at the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year, in the group's principal Media and Content business. As a result, operating profit decreased by ¥2,110 million, or 9.4%, year on year to ¥20,221 million, and ordinary profit decreased by ¥1,061 million, or 4.2%, to ¥24,195 million. In addition, profit attributable to owners of the parent decreased by ¥7,624 million, or 42.1%, to ¥10,487 million, mainly because an impairment loss on the operating broadcasting system was recorded in extraordinary losses.」
