Summary of Main Supplementary Explanations Questions and Answers: FY2022 Third Quarter GREE Results Briefing

The briefing clarifies GREE’s operational status and financial outlook for FY2022 third quarter, focusing on game releases, overseas distribution, user acquisition, and investment performance. Heaven Burns Red is positioned as a long‑term growth engine; the company plans to add content and implement creative training cycles, leveraging experience from titles like Another Eden. Echoes of Mana, launched April 27, 2022, has already met key performance indicators and will receive ongoing promotional support. Simultaneous global releases of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Memories and Echoes of Mana have performed strongly overseas, prompting consideration of further international launches for other titles.

User acquisition and engagement for the mobile title REALITY have improved through sustained promotional activities in Japan and abroad, with notable success in North America via targeted events and functional enhancements. Financially, the company experienced a cumulative loss for the third quarter; this is attributed to a decline in the Investment and Incubation Business relative to FY2021, despite steady growth in Internet and Entertainment operations driven by new hit titles. The Investment segment’s volatility over short periods is noted as a contributing factor.

Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, GREE projects operating income in the Internet and Entertainment Business between ¥2.5 billion and just under ¥3.0 billion, assuming continued strong sales of Heaven Burns Red and stable market trends for new releases. The outlook remains contingent on title performance dynamics.
