Although the revenue of the Macromill Group in the first half increased steadily, the environment surrounding digital marketing and foreign exchanges has differed from our expectations.
While we have invested in hiring and developing skilled employees to establish and maintain competitive advantages in our priority improvement areas, notably the digital marketing solutions segment as planned, the revenue for the current fiscal year is expected to be lower than the previous forecast. As a result, the consolidated earnings forecasts for the current fiscal year have been revised downwards.
We assume 1 EUR = 125.73 JPY and 1 KRW = 0.0987 JPY for the revised forecast.
Note: The Group prepared the forecast of consolidated financial results based on information accessible as of the date of its announcement. A variety of future factors may cause actual financial results to differ from its forecasts.
