Notice on the recording of extraordinary gains (cryptocurrency donation benefit) and non-operating expenses (cryptocurrency sale loss) related to crypto asset transfers

Overview

Based on today’s disclosure regarding the collaboration with ZoomART Foundation and the transfer of crypto assets, the Group expects to record cryptocurrency donation benefit of 229 million yen as extraordinary gains from the disposal of crypto assets. Conversely, as a result of the transfer, non-operating expenses from cryptocurrency sale losses are expected to amount to approximately 6,430 million yen. These are scheduled to be recorded in the fourth quarter of the consolidated accounting period for the fiscal year ending August 2026.

Outlook and impact

The full-year consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending August 2026 had previously been undetermined due to difficulty in estimating the impact on profit and loss; however, once the gains and losses from this transaction are incorporated, a forward-looking estimate will be prepared and disclosed promptly. Note that the timing of recognizing the extraordinary gains and non-operating expenses is expected to be limited to the fourth quarter of the August fiscal year.
