By segment, Content Distribution exceeded expectations, while profitability of power plans deteriorated due to rising power procurement costs. Depreciation of the yen against other currencies also had an impact, contributing to the decline in ordinary income.\n\n### Causes of Variances and Segment Impacts\nContent Distribution outperformed forecasts due to strong acquisition of paying users. Stores & Facility Solutions benefited from performance added by Exing resulting from an unplanned M&A at the start of the fiscal year. Communications and Energy were affected by higher power procurement costs due to Middle East developments and the impact of fixed revenues from power plans. Financial Services, Real Estate, and Global outperformed due to stronger-than-expected customer acquisition. The main drivers were power costs and foreign exchange losses.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 469,957 million yen (Compared with previous forecast of 424,000 million yen: +45,958 million yen, change rate 10.8%)\nOperating Income: 30,255 million yen (Compared with previous forecast of 33,500 million yen: -3,244 million yen, change rate -9.7%)\nOrdinary Income: 28,169 million yen (Compared with previous forecast of 32,200 million yen: -4,030 million yen, change rate -12.5%)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 14,959 million yen (Compared with previous forecast of 18,500 million yen: -3,541 million yen, change rate -19.1%)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#U-NEXT-HOLDINGS, #EarningsAnalysis","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 469,957 million yen (Compared with previous forecast 424,000 million yen: +45,958 million yen, 10.8% increase)\nOperating Income: 30,255 million yen (Compared with previous forecast 33,500 million yen: -3,244 million yen, -9.7%)\nOrdinary Income: 28,169 million yen (Compared with previous forecast 32,200 million yen: -4,030 million yen, -12.5%)","jir_meta_title":"U-NEXT HOLDINGS Co.,Ltd.
