Revenue reached approximately 55.7 billion yen, a 29.9% increase year-on-year. Operating profit rose 23.9% to about 20.2 billion yen, and net profit increased 22.4% to roughly 14.1 billion yen. The commerce segment led growth, rising 36.8% to approximately 38.1 billion yen, driven by the Nijisanji 8th anniversary campaign and pre-sales for Nijifes 2026. Events revenue grew 44.9% to about 4.1 billion yen, supported by more large-scale performances. YouTube views for the fiscal year hit 6.2 billion, up 17.3%. The number of VTubers increased by a net 9 to 179, and revenue per VTuber rose from 252 million yen to 311 million yen.
