Comprehensive income decreased 34.8% year-over-year to ¥2,977 million.
Disappearance of prior year cyberattack impact was offset by declines in Publication/IP Creation and Animation/Film, despite gains in Gaming, Web Services, and Education/EdTech.
Foreign exchange losses and extraordinary losses from a cyberattack further reduced profits, but lower income taxes limited the net profit decline.
