【FY24 Q2 Earnings FAQ】Could you please explain why you did not revise the full-year forecast despite the high progress rate?

The results up to 2Q have progressed almost as initially expected in our performance forecast. From the time the forecast was created, we anticipated that both sales and operating profit would be weighted towards the second half of the year, and this is indeed how it is progressing.

There are factors like the price revision and the acquisition of shares in Australia that were not included in the original performance forecast, but at this point, we do not believe these will lead to an upward revision to the extent necessary.

Moving forward, we will monitor post-revision usage trends and the launch in Australia and make adjustments as needed.
