Q3 FY2026 Quarterly Earnings Q&A Summary
For the first three quarters, ordinary income exceeded full-year guidance. Net income attributable to owners of the parent also surpassed the full-year guidance by a large margin, but a full-year revision is not expected due to recent exchange rate fluctuations and impairment concerns. North American business outlook was revised downward, while selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to recover. AI Agent business is positioned as a growth driver, with details to be disclosed in the next medium-term management plan. Turnover from Talentio is deemed insufficient for shareholder return, and funds are being pooled. The Creator business posted a profit decline due to timing, but is expected to rebound on stable revenue from UUUM and others.

AI要約
Section Heading
This document compiles Q&A from the earnings briefing, focusing on the progress of results for 3Q cumulative, the relationship to the full-year outlook, growth strategies for North America and the AI Agent business, Talentio's shareholder return policy, and the Creator business conditions and future growth strategy. The standstill of the full-year forecast is a cautious decision considering exchange rate trends and impairment risk. Emphasis is placed on delayed gross profit recovery in North America, SG&A trends, profitability of AI-related businesses, and strengthening entry barriers.
Section 2 Heading
Looking ahead, the next medium-term management plan will describe the role and concrete revenue contribution of the AI Agent business. Talentio's returns are not yet sufficient as funds, so a reserve is being built; the specific return amount will be disclosed once finalized. The Creator business yielded earlier profits due to event concentration at year-end, but going forward we will focus on a new growth phase including synergies with UDN SPORTS.
