Fiscal Year Ending December 2026 Third Quarter Financial Summary [Japanese GAAP] (Consolidated)

Overview of Performance

During this quarter, while the domestic and international live entertainment markets remained robust, intensified competition in broadcasting and media and rising costs were observed. We proactively scheduled fan club events and solo/unit performances centered on the Entertainment business. Net sales increased significantly year-over-year, and operating income, ordinary income, and net income all achieved substantial increases. By segment, Entertainment performed strongly; Rights & Media experienced a decline in profit due to external factors, but overall profitability was maintained.

Financial Position and Earnings Outlook

Total assets are approximately 1,459.6 hundred million yen (14,596 million yen), and net assets are approximately 751.4 hundred million yen (7,514 million yen), with an equity ratio of 48.2%, indicating sound financials. There is no change to the most recent full-year outlook. There is also no change to the dividend forecast. While an increase in current assets, such as cash and deposits, is notable, dividend payments from retained earnings affected changes in shareholders' equity. Considering uncertainty in market conditions, we will continue to enforce risk diversification and rigorous cost management.
