Financial Summary for the Second Quarter of Fiscal Year Ending February 2027 (Interim) [Japanese GAAP] (Consolidated)

Overview of Performance

For the interim period, consolidated revenue was 539,723 thousand yen, up 5.8% year-over-year. Operating income was 48,914 thousand yen, ordinary income was 54,927 thousand yen, and net income attributable to owners of parent for the interim period was 28,122 thousand yen, marking a turnaround from a loss in the same period last year. Centered on the tenki.jp business, paid membership metrics remained within the expected range, and the impact of tariff revisions is expected to appear in the latter half of the fiscal year. Expansion of experience-value related businesses such as IP production and "Onsen Musume" is being promoted. Solar power consulting showed solid results with revenue of 82,113 thousand yen and segment profit of 78,298 thousand yen. Excluding company-wide expenses, segment profits ultimately returned to profitability.

Outlook and Key Points

The revenue structure for the interim period is being diversified, with a policy to maintain and expand the share of experience-value related businesses. While anticipating that the timing of reflecting tariff revisions will shift to the second half or later, the full-year forecast is maintained at the previously announced level. By sector, tenki.jp is driving revenue through a combination of advertising and paid services, and Onsen Musume and solar power consulting continue to support growth. The impact on capital structure due to company split will be disclosed at a later date.
