Outlook and Key Factors

Full-year earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending March 2027 has been raised to revenue of 1,150,000 million yen, operating profit of 60,000 million yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent of 38,500 million yen. The impact of the GSX share sale is not a confirmed factor, but if the transaction is completed it could increase profit attributable to owners of parent by approximately 14.5 billion yen.
