Summary of main supplementary explanations questions and answers at the FY2025 First Quarter GREE results briefing held on November 5, 2024

The briefing clarified GREE’s strategic focus for FY2025 first‑quarter results, emphasizing both gaming and investment operations. In the gaming segment, the company confirmed that advance registrations for the English version of “Heaven Burns Red” are strong and that distribution will be handled by Yostar Games, whose track record in expanding English‑speaking fan communities is expected to generate significant buzz. GREE highlighted ongoing community building efforts prior to launch, underscoring a proactive marketing approach.

Regarding the investment business, management acknowledged that valuation‑loss risk remains comparable to Q1 FY2025 levels. The primary driver of past losses was large investments in funds nearing the end of their operating periods; however, diversification and limited exposure to such funds mitigate long‑term impact. GREE maintains that while short‑term volatility may persist, medium‑to‑long‑term earnings should remain stable as funds mature and yield dividends or asset sales. The company reiterated its commitment to investing in GREE‑Group managed funds, including GREE Ventures, and expects related risks to surface only after several years.

Overall, the briefing presented a balanced outlook: aggressive growth in the gaming arm through strategic partnerships and community engagement, coupled with cautious yet steady investment practices aimed at preserving earnings stability amid inherent valuation risks.
