GENDA reported a 45% revenue increase to 49.7 billion yen for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, but net income swung to a loss of 752 million yen. Aggressive M&A drove higher depreciation, goodwill amortization, and interest expenses. Adjusted EBITDA rose 8% to 4.612 billion yen. Full-year forecasts remain unchanged.
GENDA's first-quarter results, announced June 10, show the cost of its acquisition-heavy strategy. Revenue climbed 45% year-on-year to 49.7 billion yen, driven by the Entertainment & Platform segment, where GiGO's Crane Game Oasis conversions boosted store sales. But operating profit fell 79.2% to 288 million yen, and net income swung to a loss of 752 million yen from a profit of 223 million yen a year earlier. Depreciation nearly doubled to 3.039 billion yen, goodwill amortization doubled to 1.204 billion yen, and interest expenses more than doubled to 563 million yen. The company also incurred 222 million yen in new loan arrangement fees. On a Non-GAAP basis, adjusted EBITDA rose 8% to 4.612 billion yen, while adjusted net profit fell 46.5% to 736 million yen. Full-year forecasts of 215 billion yen in revenue and 30 billion yen in adjusted EBITDA remain unchanged, with the company citing second-half seasonality.
