  1. Explanation of Operating Results

    In the Amusement Equipments Business, Pachislot sales are strong due to the diffusion of Smart Pachislot machines. However, there was a operating loss caused by the decrease in sales volume year-on-year as well as a lower profitability. In the Integrated Resort Business, the performance of both gaming and non-gaming operations was down year-on-year due to the decline in the VIP segment at OKADA MANILA and the decrease in number of foreign guests. In particular, the VIP rolling chip volume was down sharply and the decrease in the number of guests impacted the performance of both the mass gaming and the hotel and F&B categories.

    As a result, sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 totaled 27,280 million yen (downed 20.8% year-on-year), operating loss was 2,512 million yen (ordinary profit was 4,023 million yen in the same period of 2024), ordinary loss was 12,319 million yen (ordinary profit was 5,575 million yen in the same period of 2024), and net loss attributable to owners of parent was 7,556 million yen (net income attributable to owners of parent was 3,450 million yen in the same period of 2024). Business segment performance was as follows. Sales are prior to adjustments for inter-segment sales or transfers.

    1. Amusement Equipments Business

      In the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Amusement Equipments Business posted a net sales of 8,750 million yen (downed 36.9% year-on-year) and an operating loss of 1,199 million yen (operating profit was 3,929 million yen in the same period of 2024).

      In the amusement equipment industry, the business climate for Pachislot machines is favorable because of the steady introduction of smart Pachislot machines to the market as well as the high utilization rate of these machines in the Pachinko parlors that meets the expectation from the parlor operators. For the Pachinko sector, expectation for an upturn is emerging as the market diffusion of Pachinko machines with lucky trigger function which have richer game elements as well as smart Pachinko machines have been moving gently, and well-evaluated machines with good reputation are being released.

      In response to these market conditions, we introduced "SMART PACHISLOT SHAMAN KING," which recreates the worldview of this popular anime, into the market and ramped up the production of "OKIDOKI! GORGEOUS", a highly evaluated title. In the pachinko category, we introduced "P HANEMONO Family Stadium," a motif of the popular baseball game from Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc., and "P Crash Landing on You", the first amusement machine based on a love story that was a big hit mainly in Asia.

    2. Integrated Resort Business

      The Integrated Resort Business posted a net sales(1) of 18,378 million yen (downed 9.8% year-on-year), and an operating profit of 331 million yen (downed 81.3% year-on-year). Adjusted segment EBITDA(2) was 4,605 million yen in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 (downed 23.6% year-on-year).

      At OKADA MANILA, an integrated resort operated by the Universal Entertainment Group, the first quarter performance in fiscal year 2025 fell below the previous year's results . According to the Philippine Department of Tourism, the number of inbound travelers from South Korea and China, the main overseas visitor source countries for OKADA MANILA, decreased by 13.9% and 33.7% respectively throughout the first quarter in 2025.

      In the gaming category, a drop in VIP rolling chip volume has continued since the last fiscal year. Gross gaming revenue from the gaming machine category also declined year on year due to the decrease in the number of the Philippines inbound visitors. The hotel and F&B business also saw a decline in revenue due to the decline in the number of property visitors.

      1. Net sales are gross revenues minus gaming taxes and jackpots.

      2. Adjusted segment EBITDA= Operating profit/loss + Depreciation + Other adjustments

    3. Other

      Other Business posted a net sales of 130 million yen (downed 15.0% year-on-year), and an operating profit of 179 million yen (upped 56.5% year-on-year) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

      For the Media Content Business, although simulator applications for our amusement machines have been distributed on App Store and Google Play, no new application was released in the first quarter. For "Universal Kingdom," the subscription-based application, and "Slots Street," the free-to-play social casino game, we have been doing our best to attract new users and increase the satisfaction of current users by constantly holding in-game events. For digital music distribution, 2 titles were distributed to 24 platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify and YouTube Music.

  2. Explanation of Financial Status

Financial status for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 is as follows.

Total assets at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 amounted to 603,937 million yen, a decrease of 28,858 million yen year-on-year. The decrease was mainly due to the depreciation of Philippine peso and U.S. dollar against Japanese yen, the decreases in cash and deposits as well as notes and accounts receivable - trade, and an increase in long-term allowance for doubtful accounts.

Total liabilities at the end of first quarter of fiscal year 2025 amounted to 247,980 million yen, a decrease of 15,083 million yen year-on-year. The decrease was mainly due to the depreciation of Philippine peso and U.S. dollar against Japanese yen and the decreases in accrued expenses and other under current liabilities.

Total net assets at the end of first quarter of 2025 amounted to 355,956 million yen, a decrease of 13,774 million yen from the end of 2024. This was partly the result of a decrease in retained earnings due to net loss attributable to owners of parent and foreign currency translation adjustment due to weakening of the Philippine peso against the yen.
