Bushiroad Redefines Mission, Vision, and Value Moving into our next growth phase, driven by our LIVE-MIXED ENTERTAINMENT vision（299KB）

Bushiroad has officially redefined its corporate mission, vision, and values to better align with its next phase of growth, effective April 2026. The new mission is to deliver excitement to the world, anchored by a vision of LIVE-MIXED ENTERTAINMENT. This strategic pivot emphasizes the integration of traditional entertainment with tangible, live experiences, prioritizing the unique energy generated when audiences share the same space and time. The company’s core value, STAND UP! for Entertainment, encourages continuous evolution through challenge and innovation. This redefinition does not signal a departure from the company’s established IP development strategy or its existing business portfolio. Instead, it serves to clarify and deepen the focus on experiential value across all segments, including trading card game tournaments, live music performances, pro-wrestling tours, and retail interactions. By formalizing this commitment to live engagement, the company aims to move beyond reliance on individual hit content, opting instead to build long-term brand equity through a consistent series of vivid, memorable, and interactive experiences. The initiative is supported by a new internal framework known as BUSHI Values, which promotes a culture of being borderless, user-focused, proactive, high-voltage, and innovative. These principles are designed to unify internal stakeholders and communicate a clear, consistent purpose to the market. By emphasizing the human connection inherent in its diverse business lines, the company seeks to enhance its corporate value and sustain growth in an evolving digital landscape where physical, shared experiences are increasingly viewed as a premium differentiator.

Financial Report for First Quarter of Fiscal 2026: Japan

Bushiroad Inc., a Japanese entertainment company, reported first‑quarter fiscal 2026 results for the period July 1 to September 30, 2025. Net sales rose 12.2% year‑over‑year to ¥13,766 million, driven by stronger performance across its core card game and event‑ticket businesses. Operating profit surged 226.6% to ¥1,668 million, while ordinary profit reached ¥1,932 million, a reversal from the previous year’s operating loss of ¥510 million. Profit attributable to owners of parent companies stood at ¥1,663 million, up from a loss of ¥59 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2025. Earnings per share, adjusted for a 2‑for‑1 stock split effective October 1, 2025, climbed to ¥12.27. Total assets for the quarter were ¥47,971 million, with net assets of ¥26,844 million, reflecting an equity‑to‑asset ratio increase to 52.7% from 47.7% in fiscal 2025. Net assets per share were not disclosed due to the recent split. Dividend policy for fiscal 2025 showed a single payout of ¥4.50 per share in Q3, with no dividends announced for fiscal 2026 yet; a forecast indicates a potential ¥2.50 per share in Q4 after the split. The company projects full‑year 2026 net sales of ¥56,000 million (a slight decline of 0.3% from the prior year), operating profit of ¥4,500 million (down 7.6%), and ordinary profit of ¥4,600 million (down 5.1%). Forecasted earnings per share for FY2026 are ¥19.63, reflecting the impact of the share split. These figures illustrate a rebound in profitability after a challenging prior year, with modest sales growth and an improving capital structure. The company’s guidance signals continued pressure on operating margins, likely due to rising content development costs and competitive market dynamics within Japan’s entertainment sector.
