In the Digital Entertainment segment during the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, in the area of content for platforms such as smart devices and PC browser, our established lineup of popular games is continuing to show strong performances. In addition to this, new game titles such as "MOBIUS FINAL FANTASY," "HOSHI NO DRAGON QUEST," "FINAL FANTASY BRAVE EXVIUS" and "GRIMMS NOTES", released in preceding fiscal year, are contributing to revenue generation from the beginning of this fiscal year. In the area of console games, "DRAGON QUEST HEROES II" made a favorable start on top of strong download sales of catalogue titles released previously.
In the Amusement segment, sales of amusement machines such as "Gunslinger Stratos3" have gained favorable results, and operation of the amusement facilities has been showing steady performance.
In the Publication segment, sales of comic books declined while royalty revenues of e-comics increased compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
In the Merchandising segment, sales and licensing performed strongly thanks to character goods and soundtracks derived from the Group's own IPs as well as character goods originated in renowned third-party IPs.
