The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

In the publishing and IP creation business, profit declined in the domestic print and e-book businesses, while personnel expenses increased. In the animation and live-action video business, results reflected the absence of the large productions and secondary-use revenue recorded in the previous fiscal year. In the games business, sales declined following strong sales of titles in the previous fiscal year. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, the company has stated a policy of pursuing business-structure reform, strategic investment in IP, and expansion of its overseas bases.
