2. Reasons for revisions

Based on the strong overseas exports of the trading card games "DUEL MASTERS" and "TRANSFORMERS," for which Tomy strengthened the product lineup in the three months ended June 30, 2021, the growing popularity of the amusement machine "Pokémon Mezastar," as well as future market conditions and product plans for the six months ending September 30, 2021, net sales are expected to exceed the previously announced forecast.

In terms of profit, it is expected to exceed the previously announced forecast due to the increase in net sales and cost control based on the expansion of COVID-19 and the situation in stores.

The full-year earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 remain unchanged from the previously announced figures due to concerns about the long-term impact on the retail business and the event business caused by the continued spread of COVID-19 and the need to refrain from going outdoors, as well as the need to closely examine the rapidly changing market environment due to increasing uncertainties such as trends in the year-end and New Year sales season, which is the largest sales season. We will promptly disclose the outlook as soon as it becomes clear.
