While this financial results presentation only featured three items from Sanrio and Godzilla, we are actually planning for a much wider variety of IP prizes.
This leads us to expect growth that will surpass the +110% (2.1x) same store sales increase already achieved by traditional SWAP to “Kawaii prizes.”
Through GENDA’s network of approximately 130 amusement arcades and 13,000 mini-locations across North America, we will provide Japanese IP prizes directly to individual consumers in the region. This initiative represents an unprecedented scale for a platform provider, allowing us to introduce Japan’s world-renowned IP to North America, thereby creating new value in the region.
We also plan to announce new prizes almost every month through the end of the year. We will inform you promptly once we are ready to disclose the information. Additionally, we intend to report the progress of our North American business without delay in our upcoming monthly store development progress reports.
Through these initiatives, we will further enhance the appeal of GENDA’s mini-location business in North America and achieve sustainable growth.
