There was a change in the scope of consolidation due to the exclusion of Foggu shares from consolidation. Segments were reorganized into four reporting categories: Investment Business, Education Business, Ad Tech Business, and Businesses Under Development. The full-year forecast remains unchanged from the previously announced figures.\n\n### Outlook and Impact on Shareholders\nFull-year earnings guidance is net sales of 7,800\u20138,200 hundred million yen, operating income of 0\u2013200 hundred million yen, ordinary income of 0\u2013100 hundred million yen, and net income attributable to owners of parent of 0\u201350 hundred million yen. There is no material change to the dividend forecast; the most recently announced dividend forecast is being maintained. The exclusion of Foggu shares from consolidation caused reductions in certain assets and liabilities and fluctuations in valuation differences, improving the equity ratio. Continued monitoring of segment-specific growth strategies and investment progress will be required.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net sales: 4,012,506 (7.0% decrease YoY)\nOperating income: 87,678 (YoY unknown (turned positive))\nOrdinary income: 63,562 (YoY unknown)\nNet income attributable to owners of parent (interim): 227,373 (Turned positive YoY)\nNet income per share attributable to owners of parent (diluted): 6.07 (YoY unknown)\nTotal assets: 18,439,095 (Decrease from prior period)\nEquity ratio: 89.6 (Increase from prior period)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#UNITED_Inc, #Earnings, #InterimResults, #SegmentChange","jir_key_figures":"Net sales: 4,012,506 thousand yen (7.0% decrease YoY)\nOperating income: 87,678 thousand yen (turned positive)\nNet income attributable to owners of parent (interim): 227,373 thousand yen (previous period: -626,459 thousand yen)","jir_meta_title":"UNITED, Inc. \u2014 Financial Summary for Q2 FY2027 | Net Sales 4,012 million yen, Progress Toward Profitability","jir_meta_description":"Summary of UNITED, Inc.'s financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2027: net sales 4,012 million yen, operating income 87 million yen, ordinary income 63 million yen, net income 227 million yen.
