Key Points of Performance
Hatena decided to recognize extraordinary losses and deferred tax assets in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending July 2026 and lowered its full-year earnings forecast. All key indicators (revenue, operating profit, ordinary profit, and net income) are expected to fall short of the previous forecast, reflecting additional extraordinary losses and a cautious assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets. The main factors are: reduced advertising and marketing budgets in the content marketing domain, lower productivity in owned media editing contract work, difficulties in new orders due to the spread of generative AI, and delays in initiatives with generative AI vendors.
Financial Impact and Outlook
Despite cost-cutting measures, revenue is expected to decline, and the cost of the 10th anniversary shareholder benefits will also impact results. The extraordinary losses include losses related to capital outflow incidents and special investigation committee-related costs of 60 million yen, with implications for deferred tax assets reflected as well. The full-year forecast has been revised downward, and further disclosures are anticipated depending on the recovery status and investigation results.
