full-year guidance; domestic run rates of 118%/30%; overseas run rate of 28%).

These results were thus largely in line with guidance. Net profits came to ¥8.9 bn

(+106% yoy, 60% run rate versus guidance of ¥15 bn/30% run rate after adjusting for

the aforementioned system expenses, 45% run rate versus full-year Bloomberg

consensus of ¥19.73 bn), which was slightly above expectations. However, AFS made

no upward revision in anticipation of ¥15 bn in card system renewal expenses from

2Q (¥7 bn in depreciation and amortization expenses, ¥8 bn in one-time expenses).

Domestic shopping transaction volume + e-money (+2% yoy, full-year guidance

+12%, 22.8% run rate) and overseas outstanding trade receivables (+0.5% yoy,

full-year guidance +11%, 4.3% run rate) appear slightly below guidance, but the

weak yen and cost controls were the main factors behind the slight upside in

operating profits.
