KONAMI HOLDINGS CORPORATION (the "Company") had not disclosed consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 due to the continued uncertainty over the future outlook caused by the spread of COVID-19 variants and other factors. However, the Company hereby announces the difference between the consolidated results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, as follows, since it has reached the Timely Disclosure Rules.

1.    Difference between the Consolidated Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Reason for the difference

In a rapidly changing market environment due to the tense state of affairs in Ukraine and the spread of COVID-19 variants, in addition to solid performance in the Digital Entertainment business throughout the fiscal year, performance of other businesses has recovered, resulting in increase of revenue and profit among all business segments. Consequently, consolidated results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 exceeded consolidated results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.
