The Digital Entertainment segment remains the primary revenue driver, contributing 100.1 billion yen—a 36.5% increase—fueled by the popularity of eFootball during the quadrennial football tournament and the release of new titles such as PAWAFURU PUROYAKYU 2026-2027. The Gaming & Systems segment also saw substantial growth, with revenue rising 64.9% to 12.4 billion yen, supported by increased unit sales of gaming machines like the Solstice 49C and the expansion of SYNKROS installations in North American markets.

The Arcade Game and Sports segments also reported positive momentum. Arcade Game revenue grew 8.3% to 4.3 billion yen, bolstered by the introduction of redemption games in North America and preparations for new arcade titles. The Sports segment recorded a 5.2% revenue increase to 12.7 billion yen, benefiting from the expansion of pilates studios and the acquisition of municipal sports facility management contracts.

Methodologically, the financial data is presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and is rounded to the nearest one hundred million yen. The company maintains a strong financial position with total assets of 751.8 billion yen as of June 30, 2026.
