Notice Regarding Differences from Prior Period Results

Overview of Performance Variances

For the full fiscal year ending August 2026, revenue increased compared with the prior period (fiscal year ending August 2025), while ordinary income and net income attributable to owners of parent declined substantially. The revenue increase was the primary positive factor; however, ordinary income was affected by the absence of gains on sales of marketable securities, and non-operating expenses included costs related to issuance of stock acquisition rights and stock delivery expenses. Additionally, an impairment loss on investment securities was recorded as an extraordinary loss. For full details, please refer to the Financial Summary.
