- 5 - 1. Overview of results of operations, etc. (1) Overview of operating results for the quarter The Group operates a wide range of businesses that combine mobility and technology centered on taxis, guided by its mission of "Mobility for Empowerment" and vision of "Driving Japan Forward," and aims to become Japan's mobility platform and mobility infrastructure. The Group's business is divided into the "GO segment," which is a reportable segment, and "Other," which consists of business not included in the reportable segment. Services in the GO segment include e-hailing, comprising the taxi app "GO" as the main service, "GO PREMIUM," which provides a premium transportation experience with luxury vehicles, and "GO BUSINESS," a corporate management service dedicated to business use of taxis, in addition to taxi-related services ancillary to the taxi app, such as payment, advertising, in-vehicle devices and taxi tickets. In addition, under "Other," as incubation business, the Group is engaged in various initiatives related to mobility, including GX-related services that provide vehicles, charging services and energy management for the deployment of EV taxis, the rollout of "GO Charge," a search, reservation and payment service for public rapid charging spots, the development and operation of "GO Economy," a shared taxi service, proof-of-concept experiments for the implementation of autonomous taxis and new business development for providing solutions for the logistics industry. In the GO segment for the three months ended August 31, 2026, Total Rides (Note 1) on the taxi app rose 9.8% year on year to 32.16 million, and average revenue per ride (ARPR) (Note 2) rose 29.1% year on year to ¥191. Average MAU (Note 3) for the period rose 8.8% year on year to 3.42 million, and the Group steadily strengthened its business foundation. As a result, the Group reported the following results for the three months ended August 31, 2026: net sales of ¥12,243 million, adjusted EBITDA (Note 4) of ¥3,365 million, EBITDA (Note 5) of ¥3,168 million, operating profit of ¥3,042 million, ordinary profit of ¥3,023 million and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥2,476 million. Furthermore, on September 15, 2026, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement based on a strategic partnership with Waymo LLC, an independent Alphabet company, for the commercialization of autonomous taxis in Tokyo, and is steadily advancing initiatives toward deploying autonomous taxis in Tokyo in 2027. Notes: 1. Total Rides is the number of times users rode in taxis they ordered through the taxi app "GO." 2. ARPR is calculated as revenue from e-hailing services ÷ Total Rides, rounded to the nearest yen. 3. MAU (monthly active users) is the number of users who launched the GO app at least once in a month, whether or not they used the dispatch service. Average MAU for the period = sum of monthly MAU for the period ÷ number of months in the period. 4. Adjusted EBITDA = operating profit + depreciation + amortization of goodwill + share-based payment expenses + autonomous driving research and development expenses 5. EBITDA = operating profit + depreciation + amortization of goodwill (2) Overview of financial position for the quarter (Assets) Total assets at the end of the current first quarter were ¥87,368 million, up ¥10,897 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to an increase of ¥9,010 million in cash and deposits and an increase of ¥1,429 million in accounts receivable - other. (Liabilities) Total liabilities at the end of the current first quarter were ¥49,628 million, up ¥1,003 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to an increase of ¥1,772 million in accounts payable - other, while provision for bonuses decreased by ¥408 million and income taxes payable decreased by ¥216 million. (Net assets) Net assets at the end of the current first quarter were ¥37,740 million, up ¥9,893 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to increases of ¥3,679 million in share capital, ¥3,679 million in capital surplus and ¥2,476 million in retained earnings.
