Earnings Report

WOWOW INC. <4839> [TSE Prime] announced its financial results in the afternoon session on January 30th (13:30). The consolidated ordinary profit for the cumulative third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026 (April to December) surged 2.1 times that of the same period last year, reaching 4.66 billion yen. Progress toward the full-year plan of 1.50 billion yen is 311.1%, already exceeding the target and also exceeding the five-year average of 115.8%.

Based on the cumulative third-quarter performance announced by the company and the unchanged full-year plan, our calculation indicates that the consolidated ordinary profit/loss for the January to March period (4Q) is expected to turn into a loss of 3.16 billion yen (compared to a profit of 0.79 billion yen in the same period last year). However, if the fourth-quarter performance remains at the same level as the first three quarters, the full-year plan may be increased.

In the most recent three-month period, from October to December (3Q), the consolidated ordinary profit surged 4.2 times that of the same period last year, reaching 2.52 billion yen. The operating profit margin drastically improved from 1.5% in the same period last year to 12.0%.
