According to the earnings summary released by リブセンス, consolidated net income/loss for January–September was a ¥326 million net loss. Revenue was ¥4,743 million, down from the same period of the previous year.

The full-year earnings forecast had not been disclosed, but this announcement indicated that consolidated net income/loss was expected to be a ¥560 million net loss. The loss is expected to widen from the previous year, making structural improvement in profitability toward the end of the fiscal year an issue.
