Betting and FC Tokyo power Sports
MIXI, Inc. (TSE: 2121) reported consolidated results for the first half of FY3/2027, April 1 to September 30, 2026, on October 30, 2026 under Japanese GAAP. Segment profit is measured on an EBITDA basis. Sports revenue rose 86.4% to ¥40,972 million and segment profit 520.8% to ¥2,739 million, helped by the consolidation of PointsBet Holdings from last September, strong velodrome operations at Chari-Loto and higher keirin ticket sales at Netdreamers; FC Tokyo transfer fees and ticket sales at FC Tokyo and the Chiba Jets also rose. FC Tokyo's change of fiscal year meant eight months of its results, February to September, were consolidated. Digital Entertainment revenue rose 22.2% to ¥43,603 million and segment profit 47.1% to ¥24,371 million, as higher ARPU at Monster Strike outweighed fewer monthly active users and cost efficiencies helped. Lifestyle revenue rose 18.8% to ¥8,430 million with a ¥905 million segment profit.
