Q1 FY2026 Presentation Material
CyberAgent achieved record-high consolidated sales of 232.3 billion yen and a nearly threefold increase in operating profit during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. This performance was primarily catalyzed by the Game and Media & IP segments, which offset a minor decline in internet advertising revenue resulting from the loss of a major client. By reaching nearly 47% of its annual operating profit target within the first three months, the organization has established a robust financial trajectory for the remainder of the fiscal year. The Game business served as the primary engine for growth, recording a 69.2% year-over-year increase in sales and a fivefold surge in operating profit. This success was largely driven by the global performance of high-profile titles such as Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade. Looking forward, the strategic focus remains on international expansion and the development of a diverse pipeline, including the North American launch of Umamusume: Pretty Derby and upcoming releases like hololive Dreams and Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond. These efforts are supported by extensive collaborative partnerships with major industry entities such as Shueisha, KADOKAWA, and Bandai Namco Entertainment. Simultaneously, the Media & IP segment reached a significant milestone as AbemaTV achieved independent profitability. The company is increasingly integrating animation studios and leveraging generative artificial intelligence to automate video advertisement production and optimize for emerging search technologies. This synergy between intellectual property development and technological innovation underscores a broader strategy to diversify revenue streams and solidify a global presence across the digital entertainment landscape.

Summary of Supplementary Explanations Q&A at the FY2026 Second Quarter GREE Holdings Results Briefing
GREE Holdings, Inc. outlines its strategic direction and financial outlook following the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, focusing on a structural shift away from the volatile Game Business toward more stable, continuous growth segments. Despite a downward revision to the full-year earnings outlook for FY2026 due to the softening performance of existing game titles, the long-term medium-term targets for FY2028 remain unchanged. This stability is supported by the steady expansion of the IP, VTuber, and DX Business segments, which are intended to reduce the company's reliance on hit-driven gaming revenue. The IP Business is diversifying through the Anime Business, specifically by adapting invested anime titles into games. To strengthen this pipeline, there is a strategic goal to acquire in-house anime production capabilities or pursue M&A within the next two to three years. This move aims to provide greater control over production quality and timing, which are viewed as essential for creating popular intellectual property. Simultaneously, the VTuber Business is expanding its monetization beyond traditional gifting. Pilot projects on the REALITY platform are testing merchandise sales and event-based revenue for both in-house talent and independent streamers, alongside new marketing solutions for corporate clients. In the DX Business segment, the focus remains on high-value consulting for end-user-facing services and entertainment. While generative AI and automated agents are expected to impact routine maintenance and labor costs in the broader industry, the specialized nature of creating fan-driven content is seen as resilient to automation. Consequently, technological advances in AI are not expected to negatively impact the DX segment in the near term. Overall, the strategy emphasizes leveraging human creativity and platform diversification to ensure stable, long-term earnings growth across the global entertainment and digital transformation markets.

Bushiroad Issues Financial Report for First Quarter of Fiscal 2026
Bushiroad Inc. experienced significant growth in profitability during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, covering the period from July 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025. Net sales reached 13,766 million yen, representing a 12.2% increase compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. This revenue growth was accompanied by a substantial surge in operating profit, which rose 226.6% to 1,668 million yen. Ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of the parent also saw dramatic improvements, reaching 1,932 million yen and 1,663 million yen respectively, rebounding from much lower or negative figures in the prior year. The financial position of the company remains stable, with total assets valued at 47,971 million yen and net assets increasing to 26,844 million yen. This resulted in an improved equity-to-asset ratio of 52.7%, up from 47.7% at the end of fiscal 2025. A notable corporate action during this period was a two-for-one share split effective October 1, 2025. Consequently, profit per share for the quarter was 12.27 yen when calculated on a post-split basis, a sharp increase from the 0.42 yen recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Despite the strong start to the year, the full-year forecast for fiscal 2026 suggests a more conservative outlook. Management anticipates annual net sales of 56,000 million yen, a slight decrease of 0.3% year-over-year. Operating profit for the full year is projected to decline by 7.6% to 4,500 million yen, while profit attributable to owners of the parent is expected to drop 21.0% to 2,700 million yen. The company plans an annual dividend of 2.50 yen per share on a post-split basis, reflecting a cautious approach to the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.

Summary of Main Supplementary Explanations Q&A at FY2026 First Quarter GREE Holdings Results Briefing, November 6, 2025
GREE Holdings provides a strategic overview of its operational performance and market outlook following the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. The primary focus centers on the structural evolution of the gaming sector and the path to profitability for the VTuber business. While the smartphone game market has reached a plateau characterized by high competition for user installs, the implementation of outside-the-app payment methods across all major titles has successfully bolstered profit margins. To ensure long-term sustainability in gaming, the strategy involves transitioning toward console development and cultivating internal intellectual property that can support multi-title series, though external contractors are currently utilized to bridge expertise gaps in the console segment. The VTuber business represents a significant growth pillar, with the production segment expected to reach monthly profitability within fiscal year 2026 and full-year profitability by fiscal year 2027. This financial turnaround is driven by a shift from high-cost talent acquisition and 3D model production toward high-margin revenue streams, including merchandise, live events, and cross-media collaborations. Although the domestic Japanese market remains the primary revenue driver, there is a strong conviction that international fan bases will eventually surpass the domestic market in scale, mirroring the historical trajectory of the anime industry. Broader corporate initiatives include the integration of generative AI to enhance development efficiency and service quality across the gaming and digital transformation segments. In the investment business, the strategy is adapting to a challenging IPO environment by increasingly targeting M&A as a viable exit path. Overall, the outlook emphasizes a transition from rapid expansion to margin optimization and long-term IP cultivation across both digital entertainment and platform services.
