Recent Overview
Revenue declined but profitability improved markedly; segment profit up 42.0% year on year
In the Entertainment segment for FY2026 (ending March 2026), revenue decreased to ¥3,138 million (down 2.5% year on year), while segment profit increased substantially to ¥267 million (up 42.0% year on year). Facility usage fee income declined to ¥2,873 million (from ¥2,952 million in the prior year), but the cost structure improved due to enhanced operational quality centered on cleaning and customer service, and store-level, on-site-driven service provision. Meanwhile, impairment losses increased to ¥47 million (from ¥6 million in the prior year), reflecting the continued closure and consolidation of unprofitable stores.
