Executive summary

  • Operating loss narrowed to -237 million yen for FY2024, a 246 million yen improvement year-over-year, aided by business restructuring and cost reductions, despite a temporary 86 million yen expense from withdrawal of the original comic/manga business.

  • Consolidated sales were 14,387 million yen, down 0.5% year-over-year, as gains in Publishing/E-publishing and Platform were offset by declines in Internet Media, Target Media, and Solution businesses.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
