Notice Regarding the Revision of Consolidated Guidance for Q2
RAKUS Co., Ltd. (hereinafter the "Company"), in light of recent business trends, decided at a board meeting held on August 12, 2021 to revise the guidance for Q2 the fiscal year ending March 2022 (from April 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021) which was disclosed at the earnings result on May 13, 2021 as follows:

The Company conducted a two-for-1 stock split of common stock on October 1, 2020. EPS is calculated assuming that the stock split was conducted at the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 2020.
2. Reason of revision
Sales are expected to be better than the previous guidance due to the robust new orders of Raku Raku Meisai and other major services in the cloud business. On the other hand, overall costs will be less than the previous guidance. This is because personnel costs are expected to be smaller than previous guidance due to a slight delay in recruitment despite an upward revision of advertising costs. As a result, sales and all types of profit are higher than the previous guidance.
