Key Points
Recording of foreign exchange gains in the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 resulted in differences and revisions to consolidated and non-consolidated earnings forecasts. Second-quarter actual results showed lower net sales than the previous forecast, but ordinary income and interim net income exceeded forecasts due to the effect of foreign exchange gains. From the third quarter onward, factors such as the consolidation of WOWOW Lemino and an increase in subscriber numbers are expected to have an impact.
Outlook and Impact on Shareholders
While increased expenses are expected from the third quarter onward, foreign exchange gains may continue to contribute as an external factor. Subscriber growth and the integration of Lemino are likely to alter the full-year revenue composition; on a consolidated basis profits were revised upward, while expanded costs related to Lemino may have adverse effects. The dividend forecast remains unchanged from the previous announcement.
