Third-Quarter Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026 [IFRS] (Consolidated)

Revenue, operating profit and profit attributable to owners of the parent for the nine months ended the third quarter exceeded the year-earlier period. However, the full-year earnings forecasts were revised downward following the discovery of improper transactions, a decline in smartphone sales, lower energy revenue and the expected impairment of sales commission assets.

Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Revenue increased due mainly to higher mobile revenue, financial services revenue and revenue from growth areas such as IoT-related services and data centers.

The downward revision to the full-year forecasts reflects the improper transactions, lower mobile-device sales due to a decline in total smartphone sales, lower energy revenue and the expected impairment of sales commission assets.

Improper transactions, including fictitious entries, were identified at BIGLOBE and other businesses. The company expects to reverse the related revenue and cost of sales and recognize losses on agency commissions. In addition, it expects lower sales of mobile devices due to a decline in total smartphone sales, lower energy revenue and an impairment loss of ¥50 billion on sales commission assets in connection with a review of its sales strategy.
