Consolidated Results Supplementary Information: Q3 FY3/26

Akatsuki Inc. reported a dramatic turnaround in Q3 FY3/26, with group‑wide sales surging 79 % YoY to ¥6,581 million and operating profit turning from a loss of ¥1,571 million to a gain of ¥1,338 million. The rebound is largely attributed to the Q2 release of “Kaiju No. 8 The Game,” which contributed three months’ worth of revenue, and the consolidation of two acquired entities that broadened the Games & Comics portfolio. Within this segment, sales climbed 62 % to ¥5,225 million and operating profit rose 113 % to ¥1,545 million. The Entertainment & Lifestyle segment also grew 77 % in sales to ¥750 million, driven by the inclusion of PAPABUBBLE and WOWs following Q2 acquisitions. AI/DX Solutions, newly integrated through Natee and Akatsuki AI Technologies, generated ¥600 million in sales but recorded a loss of ¥112 million.

Net income for the quarter reached ¥1,003 million, a 288 % increase from the prior year’s loss of ¥673 million. Adjusted EBITDA expanded 82 % to ¥1,906 million, reflecting strong operating performance and effective cost management. Cash balances rose to ¥33,266 million, while total assets stood at ¥57,687 million. The company’s balance sheet remained solid with net assets of ¥43,092 million and total liabilities of ¥14,595 million.
