- (1) Existing businesses that exceeded initial plan (+2.0 billion yen)
As mentioned in Q1, existing business results were strong, and there was an upward revision of approximately 2 billion yen in the first half. The second half forecast remains unchanged from the plan at the beginning of the period. The plan for amusement arcade sales in the second half of the year is also “single-digit growth in same-store sales by half a percent,” but the current situation in amusement arcade sales is not favorable, with the existing-store sales growth rate of 106% in August, the peak month for sales, and the same indicator for September exceeding that of August, partly due to the TWICE LOVELYS campaign and the successful performance of the GiGO Osaka Dotonbori main store. The same index for September was higher than that of August, maintaining a strong performance.
- (2) Contribution from M&A that was not included in the initial plan (+8.0 billion yen)
Sales contributions to the current fiscal year (all less than 12 months) from announced M&A projects (SANDAI, AMEX, NEN, C’traum, ONTSU), which were not anticipated at the beginning of the fiscal year, will amount to approximately 8 billion yen.
We have revised sales upward only because sales will be added regardless of one-time expenses from future M&A, and because sales will exceed the timely disclosure threshold for upward revision of sales.
