Financial Results for the Second Quarter (Mid-Term) Fiscal Year Ending December 2026: Japan GAAP (Consolidated)

The financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026 reflect a period of significant contraction for Aiming, a company primarily engaged in the smartphone-based online game industry. The primary objective of this report is to disclose the consolidated financial performance for the six-month period ending June 30, 2026, prepared in accordance with Japanese GAAP.

Financial performance during this interim period showed a marked decline compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. Net sales fell by 23.6% to 6.87 billion yen, while operating profit experienced a sharp 71.3% decrease, dropping to 529 million yen. Ordinary profit also saw a substantial decline of 68.0% to 358 million yen, and net profit attributable to owners of the parent company decreased by 53.7% to 383 million yen. These results highlight the volatility inherent in the online gaming sector, where the company operates as a single-segment business.

Despite the downturn in profitability, the company maintains a stable financial position with total assets of 10.00 billion yen and a strong equity ratio of 72.6% as of June 30, 2026. The company has not declared a dividend for the current interim period and has not provided a full-year dividend forecast. Looking ahead, the company has issued a consolidated earnings forecast for the third quarter ending September 30, 2026, projecting net sales of 11.35 billion yen. Management notes that due to the rapid, short-term fluctuations characteristic of the online game market, providing long-term, highly accurate performance projections remains difficult, leading the company to release guidance on a quarterly basis.
