    【Net Sales】

    Regarding the existing game "Puzzle & Dragons" (referred to as "P&D" henceforth), we have continued initiatives to broaden our P&D user base by targeting a wider range of generations through activities that go beyond in-game events and updates, such as airing anime and holding offline events. Compared to the previous year, there were fewer collaboration events with famous characters from other companies, resulting in full-year net sales falling below the previous year's level.

    As for "Ragnarok"-related titles in Japan, the condition remained firm through holding events and implementing continuous updates, "Ragnarok Online" celebrated its 23rd anniversary from the service launch on December 1, 2025 and "Ragnarok X" celebrated its 1st anniversary from the service launch on November 20, 2025,.

    As for subsidiary businesses, Gravity Co., Ltd. continued to release new "Ragnarok" related titles mainly in Southeast Asia and in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. Gravity Co., Ltd. achieved a YoY increase in full-year net sales, thanks to the significant contribution of titles such as" Ragnarok M: Classic" and "Ragnarok: Twilight."

    As a result, consolidated net sales for full year of FY2025 was 93,242 million yen (a decrease of 10,358 million yen year on year).

    【Gross profit】

    Gross profit decreased by 20.8% from the previous year to 42,328 million yen (down 11,086 million yen from the previous year). Gross profit margin decreased by 6.2% year-on-year to 45.4%, mainly due to a decrease in the sales composition of subsidiary Gravity in the consolidated net sales.

    【Operating profit】

    In addition to the decrease in net sales, the cost of sales ratio increased, and SG&A expenses, especially personnel expenses, increased due to the full acquisition of Alim Co., Ltd. at the end of 2024. As a result, operating profit was 5,056 million yen (a decrease of 12,434 million yen year-on-year).
