Earnings Report

Universal Entertainment Corporation <6425> [TSE Std] announced its financial results after the market closed on August 7th (16:00). The consolidated ordinary profit/loss for the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2025 (January to June) turned into a loss of 14752 million yen (compared to a profit of 5567 million yen in the same period last year).

Based on the first-half performance announced by the company and the unchanged full-year plan, our calculation indicates that the consolidated ordinary profit/loss for the July to December period (second half) is expected to turn into a profit of 15752 million yen (compared to a loss of 11166 million yen in the same period last year).

At the same time, the company has decided to forego the year-end lump-sum dividend for the current fiscal year, which had previously been undecided (compared to 30 yen in the prior term), and the policy has been set to forego dividends for the first time in three terms.

In the most recent three-month period, from April to June (2Q), the consolidated ordinary loss expanded to a loss of 2433 million yen (compared to a loss of 8 million yen in the same period last year). However, the operating profit/loss margin drastically improved from -2.7% in the same period last year to 9.6%.
