Even excluding these factors, revenue increased year-over-year, with stable sales expected beyond Q4 due to major sports events like the Winter Olympics and WBC. Particularly steady performance is anticipated in the \"Financial\/Insurance,\" \"Automotive\/Transportation Equipment\/Related Products,\" and \"Household Goods\" sectors.\n\n### AI Utilization, Competitive Environment, and Outlook\nWhile AI advancement brings challenges such as clients progressing with in-house production, Hakuhodo DY leverages consumer data and creativity as strengths and actively promotes operational efficiencies through AI. Differentiation from competitors lies in the combination of AI and human creativity, contributing to enhanced digital operations efficiency and proposal capabilities. With the integration of Digital Holdings, an increase of approximately 60 billion yen in sales is expected, aiming to improve value quality through strengthened collaboration. The full-year guidance is maintained, and no significant cost increases or sales declines are anticipated in Q4.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: Unknown (Year-over-Year revenue increase (including sales from large-scale events))\nGross Profit Margin: Unknown (Improving trend (contributed by in-house production and thorough cost management))\nFull-year Earnings Guidance: Unknown (Unchanged)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#HakuhodoDYHoldings, #FinancialResultsBriefing, #AdvertisingIndustry","jir_key_figures":"Q3 Net Sales: Unknown (exceeded previous year due to sales from large-scale events)\nGross Profit Margin: Unknown (improved through in-house production and rigorous cost management)\nSales Contribution from Digital Holdings: Approximately 60 billion yen","jir_meta_title":"Hakuhodo DY Holdings Announces Revenue Turnaround and Strengthened AI Utilization at Q3 FY2026 Financial Results Briefing","jir_meta_description":"Hakuhodo DY Holdings achieved a revenue turnaround in Q3 FY2026 through sales from large-scale events.
