The entertainment segment generated 809 million yen in sales, while the company’s secondary business, which manages university student dormitories in Gifu Prefecture, contributed 38 million yen in sales and achieved a modest operating profit of 1.8 million yen.

Financial stability remains consistent, with total assets reported at 11.19 billion yen and an equity ratio of 69.9%. Management maintains its previously announced full-year earnings forecast, projecting annual sales of 4.78 billion yen and an operating profit of 296 million yen. The company continues to prioritize the strengthening of development and sales capabilities while leveraging digital distribution and global market expansion to navigate a competitive landscape characterized by rapid technological shifts in cloud gaming, e-sports, and artificial intelligence.
