Summary of Main Supplementary Explanations Questions and Answers: FY2025 Second Quarter GREE Results Briefing
The briefing outlines GREE’s performance and strategic outlook for FY2025 Q2, focusing on game releases, existing title dynamics, and the VTuber business. Pre‑registration for “Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra” surpassed 500,000 by January 31, exceeding expectations and reinforcing confidence in the IP’s strong fan base. The company maintains an annual release cadence for new titles, but schedules are determined independently per project; delays in one title do not cascade to others. Existing flagship games such as Heaven Burns Red and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Memories have experienced a deceleration in decline rates after three years, indicating sustained player engagement.
In the VTuber segment, sales growth is driven by talent merchandise, live music events, and seasonal participation in Winter Comiket. Revenue has turned profitable as variable costs align with sales, while one‑time expenses—primarily 3D model production for new and returning talents—have increased quarterly, contributing to larger losses. Management anticipates that expanding the talent roster will stabilize one‑time costs and enhance profitability.
Looking ahead, GREE projects monthly profitability in FY2026 with annual VTuber sales near ¥3.0 billion, followed by accelerated growth targets. The briefing underscores a balanced approach to new title development, sustained performance of legacy games, and a focused strategy for scaling the VTuber business while managing cost structures.
- GREE targets monthly profitability for its VTuber segment in FY2026, with annual sales projected to reach approximately ¥3.0 billion.
- Pre-registration for the upcoming title 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra' exceeded 500,000 by January 31, signaling strong market interest.
- Flagship games 'Heaven Burns Red' and 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Memories' have stabilized, showing a deceleration in decline rates after three years of operation.
- The VTuber business is currently experiencing increased quarterly losses due to one-time 3D model production expenses, though variable costs have successfully aligned with sales.
- GREE maintains an independent release schedule for new games, ensuring that project-specific delays do not impact the broader annual release cadence.
Summary of Main Supplementary Explanations Questions and Answers: FY2025 Full-Year Results
GREE Holdings outlines its FY2025 full‑year results and forward strategy across several business segments. In the game division, the company acknowledges the typical post‑launch decline in live‑service titles and counters it by expanding both its live‑service portfolio—leveraging a proven RPG engine—and investing in console games built on proprietary IP to create a steadier earnings base. The company reports multiple recent hit releases and anticipates further inquiries for third‑party IP adaptations, positioning itself to capture high profitability in the live‑service arena.
The platform business remains growth‑oriented, with steady increases in room and gifting revenue offsetting a temporary dip in avatar sales. New avatar features are expected to revive this segment, while the company continues to push other monetization channels. In the VTuber sector, GREE pursues a two‑stage growth model: first expanding its talent roster—now about 90 talents—and then boosting sales per talent through diversified merchandise channels and nascent live‑event advertising. Sales per talent have doubled since FY2024, and the company maintains a balanced portfolio to avoid over‑reliance on any single talent.
The DX business is undergoing a structural shift from one‑time project sales to recurring revenue, with modest growth projected through FY2026 as the transition completes. Investment activities in FY2026 will see increased volatility due to fund maturity and potential impairment, yet the company expects stable income streams from dividends and performance fees. Overall, GREE projects balanced returns while navigating market challenges across its diversified entertainment portfolio.
- GREE is shifting its game division strategy to balance post-launch live-service volatility by investing in console titles built on proprietary IP.
- The VTuber business has doubled sales per talent since FY2024, supported by a roster of approximately 90 talents and expanded merchandise and advertising channels.
- The DX business is transitioning from a one-time project sales model to a recurring revenue structure, with modest growth expected through FY2026.
- Platform revenue growth is currently driven by room and gifting monetization, which is offsetting a temporary decline in avatar sales.

Summary of main supplementary explanations questions and answers at the FY2026 First Quarter GREE Holdings, Inc. results briefing held on November 6, 2025
GREE Holdings’ FY2026 first‑quarter briefing clarified strategic priorities across its game, VTuber, and investment divisions. The company emphasized a shift toward an in‑house development model for console titles while still leveraging external contractors to bridge current expertise gaps. In the mobile game segment, outside‑app payment methods have been fully deployed across all major titles and are contributing positively to profitability; the VTuber platform has similarly expanded its outside‑app transactions, boosting operating margins. The firm acknowledges a structural decline in earnings from new smartphone releases but plans to sustain revenue by focusing on long‑term engagement features and continuous hit title launches, particularly within the RPG genre.
Market outlooks reveal a plateau in smartphone installs but growing potential through high‑value IP and outside‑app monetization. Console gaming is viewed as a long‑term investment, with an emphasis on cultivating enduring IP series. The VTuber market is still expanding globally, especially overseas, and the company projects full‑year profitability for its VTuber production arm by FY2027 as higher‑margin merchandise and live events offset earlier talent acquisition costs.
Exit strategies for the investment business have shifted from IPOs to M&A, reflecting broader market conditions. Generative AI is being integrated across game development, VTuber content creation, and digital transformation services to enhance efficiency and service quality, though its direct earnings impact remains difficult to quantify. Overall, GREE aims to strengthen core competencies, diversify revenue streams, and adapt to evolving market dynamics while pursuing sustainable growth.
- GREE is transitioning to an in-house development model for console titles, utilizing external contractors to address current expertise gaps while focusing on long-term IP cultivation.
- Outside-app payment methods have been fully implemented across all major mobile titles and the VTuber platform, directly contributing to improved operating margins.

Summary of main supplementary explanations questions and answers at the FY2026 Second Quarter GREE Holdings, Inc. results briefing held on February 5, 2026
The briefing clarified GREE Holdings’ strategic priorities across its core business segments for FY2026. In the Anime Business, earnings from the newly announced “Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation – Chronicle of Echoes” are recorded under the IP Business segment, reflecting the company’s focus on monetizing anime titles it has invested in. The Platform Business within the VTuber segment is expanding beyond traditional gifting revenue by piloting merchandise sales and event features on its REALITY platform; early feedback indicates positive reception, and the company plans to extend these monetization tools to a broader streamer base while offering corporate marketing solutions. In the DX Consulting Business, GREE emphasizes its niche in end‑user entertainment services and acknowledges that generative AI may automate routine maintenance but is unlikely to erode its creative‑driven value proposition in the short term. Regarding financial outlook, a downward revision of FY26 earnings was justified by recent softness in existing game titles; however, the company maintains confidence in its three‑year medium‑term targets (FY28) by shifting emphasis toward continuous growth businesses and reducing reliance on volatile game revenues. Finally, the Anime Business will pursue acquisition of production capabilities—through both in‑house development and M&A—within 2–3 years to secure control over high‑quality, timely anime output. These initiatives collectively aim to diversify revenue streams, strengthen creative control, and sustain long‑term growth across GREE’s entertainment ecosystem.
- GREE Holdings revised its FY26 earnings downward due to recent performance softness in existing game titles.
- The company is shifting its long-term strategy toward continuous growth businesses to reduce reliance on volatile game revenue, maintaining its medium-term targets for FY28.
- GREE plans to acquire anime production capabilities through in-house development and M&A within the next 2–3 years to secure control over output quality and timing.
