Please tell us about the current impact of tariff risks on your North American business.

 In our presentation dated April 9, 2025, even when U.S. tariffs on China were as high as 104%, the impact was minor (approximately 3% compared to the current fiscal year’s target). As of July 31, 2025, those tariffs stand at 30%, making the impact on our performance even more negligible.

  • Changes in U.S. Tariffs on China
  • April 2, 2025:    20%→54%
  • April 8, 2025:    54%→104% (the day before the announcement of M&A with Player One)
  • April 10, 2025:  104%→145% (the day after the announcement of M&A with Player One)
  • May 12, 2025:   145%→30% (90-day suspension)
  • July 30, 2025:   30%→30% (re-extension of the 90-day suspension)
  • Why the impact is negligible given our business model

  • Impact on prize costs
  • The play price for our North American operations is low, at around US$1 per play.
  • This can be fully absorbed through adjustments to play unit prices and other measures.
  • Impact on machine (mini claw machine) costs
  • The mini claw machines that we deploy in North America are relatively inexpensive.
  • Even at the tariff rate of 104% as of April 9, the impact on our current fiscal year’s target is around 3%, indicating a negligible effect on overall performance. As of today, with the tariff at 30%, the impact is even more negligible.
  • Optimizing PMI investment efficiency
  • Start implementing PMI initiatives at locations in Canada, that is not affected by tariffs.
  • We are prioritizing locations for PMI implementation, taking into account the difference in investment efficiency between the aforementioned SWAP and Add on.
  • PMI leveraging the scale advantages of our North American locations
  • We are currently integrating five companies: Kiddleton, NEN, Player One, Barberio and VENUplus.
  • We are currently realizing various synergies from both revenue and cost perspectives, leveraging our 13,000 locations in North America.
