Second-quarter actual results showed lower net sales than the previous forecast, but ordinary income and interim net income exceeded forecasts due to the effect of foreign exchange gains. From the third quarter onward, factors such as the consolidation of WOWOW Lemino and an increase in subscriber numbers are expected to have an impact.\n\n### Outlook and Impact on Shareholders\nWhile increased expenses are expected from the third quarter onward, foreign exchange gains may continue to contribute as an external factor. Subscriber growth and the integration of Lemino are likely to alter the full-year revenue composition; on a consolidated basis profits were revised upward, while expanded costs related to Lemino may have adverse effects. The dividend forecast remains unchanged from the previous announcement.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales (Consolidated): 35,607 million yen (From previous forecast 36,300 million yen \u2192 -693 million yen)\nOperating Income (Consolidated): 1,266 million yen (Revised upward from previous forecast 740 million yen)\nOrdinary Income (Consolidated): 1,955 million yen (Revised upward from previous forecast 980 million yen)\nInterim Net Income (Consolidated): 979 million yen (Revised upward from previous forecast 640 million yen)\nInterim Net Income per Share (Non-consolidated): 34.54 yen (Revised upward from previous forecast 22.57 yen)\nForeign Exchange Gains: 4 hundred million 94 million yen (Newly recorded)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#WOWOW, #DoNotIncludeIndividualThemesSuchAsShareBuybacksDividendsOrForecastRevisions","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 35,607 million yen (Previous forecast 36,300 million yen \u2192 -693 million yen)\nOperating Income: 1,266 million yen (Previous forecast 740 million yen \u2192 Revised upward)\nOrdinary Income: 1,955 million yen (Previous forecast 980 million yen \u2192 Revised upward)","jir_meta_title":"Wowow Inc. \u2014 Notice of Non-operating Income Recording and Revision to Earnings Forecasts | October 2026","jir_meta_description":"Wowow Inc. announced recording of foreign exchange gains in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 and disclosed differences and revisions to earnings forecasts.
