Results Briefing Materials for the First Half of Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2027
MARV's first-half results for the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April to September 2026) show a company with sharply lower revenue but substantially higher profitability.
- Net sales for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2027 fell 30.7% year over year to ¥14,047 million, while operating profit rose sharply to ¥2,724 million from ¥226 million, a 19.4% operating margin.
- The profit improvement was driven by high-margin overseas indie titles, repeat consumer game sales, and secondary anime licensing revenue, but was also flattered by postponed R&D and advertising spending into the second half and a gain on derivative valuation in non-operating income.
- The Digital Content Business swung from a segment loss of ¥1,070 million to a profit of ¥1,329 million on the overseas release "Moonlight Peaks," even though its revenue fell 46.7% due to the absence of major new titles.

- Streamers invited viewers to take part, framed themselves as opening loot boxes on viewers' behalf, and used tiered recognition systems and direct solicitation to elicit financial contributions.
