By integrating operations across the Sports, Lifestyle, and Digital Entertainment segments, the company aims to drive high-profitability engagement. This strategic focus is supported by a transition into a profit growth phase, underpinned by a commitment to operational efficiency and capital allocation that prioritizes high-growth potential.

The company is aggressively pursuing international expansion and portfolio diversification to achieve a target of 300 billion yen in net sales by fiscal year 2026. Key growth drivers include the scaling of international sports betting operations, facilitated by the acquisition of PointsBet, and the global adoption of the FamilyAlbum application, which currently serves over 30 million users across 175 countries. Domestically, the company is strengthening its sports business through the management of professional teams, such as CHIBAJETS and FC TOKYO, and the development of major infrastructure like the LaLa arena TOKYO-BAY.
