were 1.5 billion yen (4Q YoY: 156%), 173% of the previous fiscal year.
• Advertising for creators, companies, and local governments (External advertising) also grew significantly, and platform service sales also
expanded to 430 million yen, 149% of the previous year (4Q YoY: 155%).
• On the other hand, due to the spread of the above infectious disease, the annual events could not be held even once, through FY21, and 3
out of 5 stores were closed. As a result, event & store services sales landed at 85 million yen, 25% of the previous year's level (4Q YoY: 17%).
• As a result, company-wide sales expanded to 2 billion yen, 136% of the previous year (4Q YoY: 120%).
• Also, in order to achieve medium- to long-term growth, in addition to broadcasting TV commercials in 4Q, large-scale development of multiple
services was carried out. As a result, SG & A expenses for the full year will be 1.8 billion yen, which is 135% of the previous year (4Q YoY:181%).
• As a result, consolidated operating income expanded to 226 million yen, 464% of the previous year. As disclosed in the "NoticeConcerning Revision of Earnings Forecast" in March 2021, sales, operating income, and ordinary income all exceeded the initiallyannounced forecasts.
Sales revenue：106%、Operating profit：139%、Ordinary profit：142%• On the other hand, a loss on the cancellation of treasury stock acquisition rights of approximately 54 million yen was incurred. Due to thisextraordinary loss, net income was lower than initially announced.
