The standstill of the full-year forecast is a cautious decision considering exchange rate trends and impairment risk. Emphasis is placed on delayed gross profit recovery in North America, SG&A trends, profitability of AI-related businesses, and strengthening entry barriers.\n\n### Section 2 Heading\nLooking ahead, the next medium-term management plan will describe the role and concrete revenue contribution of the AI Agent business. Talentio's returns are not yet sufficient as funds, so a reserve is being built; the specific return amount will be disclosed once finalized. The Creator business yielded earlier profits due to event concentration at year-end, but going forward we will focus on a new growth phase including synergies with UDN SPORTS.","jir_financial_highlights":"Ordinary income: Unknown (Exceeded full-year guidance by 109.8%)\nNet income attributable to owners of the parent: Unknown (Exceeded full-year guidance by 170.4%)\nEBITDA: About 80% progress (Compared to the prior year quarter)\nNorth America business EBITDA outlook: Revised downward to 0.5\u20130.6 billion yen (Outlook changed within 3 months)\nCreator business EBITDA: 310 million yen (Decrease vs. previous quarter)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#FreakOut_Holdings_Earnings, #AI_Agent_Strategy","jir_key_figures":"Ordinary income: Unknown (Guide exceeded by 109.8% - benchmark)\nNet income attributable to owners of the parent: Unknown (Guide exceeded by 170.4% - benchmark)\nEBITDA progress: about 80%\nNorth America business EBITDA outlook: revised downward to 5\u20136 hundred million yen\nCreator business EBITDA: 310 million yen (on an actual basis)","jir_meta_title":"[FreakOut Holdings, Inc.] FY2026 Q3 Earnings Q&A Summary \u2014 Reasons for Keeping Full-Year Guidance and Growth Strategy Ahead","jir_meta_description":"Summary of FreakOut Holdings, Inc.'s Q3 FY2026 earnings Q&A.
