While 1Q operating revenue of ¥33.4bn was in line with consensus, 1Q OP of

¥10.9bn exceeded consensus by roughly 10%, which we believe was the main

reason for the positive share price reaction.

That said, 1Q operating revenue, OP, capex, and depreciation expense in the Space

business all tracked in line with our full-year forecasts.

In the Media business, 1Q OP reached 32% of our full-year forecast. Profitability

improved more than we had envisioned.

We believe the company's cost control efforts in the Media business, together

with the price increase for its Optical Fiber Based Re-transmission service

implemented in Dec 2025 are the main reasons for the improvement.
