Certain Year-Over-Year Highlights

• Total revenue increased 89%, to ¥133.1 billion ($900 million) in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 from ¥70.3 billion ($475 million) in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
• Gross margin² increased 92%, to ¥3.9 billion ($26 million) in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 from ¥2.0 billion ($14 million) in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, mainly as a result of an increase in our Verified Accounts, Customer Assets and an overall increase in Marketplace Trading Volume.
• Verified Accounts³ increased 15%, to 2,421,080 as of September 30, 2025 from 2,100,374 as of September 30, 2024.
• Customer Assets⁴ increased 78%, to ¥1,189.2 billion ($8,037 million) as of September 30, 2025 from ¥669.4 billion ($4,524 million) as of September 30, 2024.
• Marketplace Trading Volume⁵ increased 72%, to ¥94.7 billion ($640 million) for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 from ¥55.1 billion ($373 million) for the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

• Net income increased to ¥355 million ($2.4 million) in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 from ¥15 million ($0.1 million) in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The primary driver of this increase was an improvement in gross margin, partially offset by higher selling, general, and administrative expenses.

• Adjusted EBITDA was ¥1,486 million ($10.0 million) in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to negative ¥399 million ($2.7 million) in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Strategic and Operational Highlights:

• The Company's "Coincheck Staking" offering continued to grow in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company launched "Coincheck Staking" on January 13, 2025, allowing users to automatically earn Ethereum (ETH) simply by depositing ETH with Coincheck for staking rewards. The staking revenue increased to ¥794 million ($5.4 million) in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to ¥381 million ($2.6 million) in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to a higher average percentage of staked Ethereum. The Company acquired Next Finance Tech. Co., Ltd., a staking platform service company in March 2025, and is working to also use Next Finance's staking platform to reduce the share of the staking rewards shared with the current third-party provider. The Company is also in ongoing discussions for separate revenue-generating business relationships for Next Finance with third parties.
• Coincheck Group held its first Annual General Meeting (AGM) on September 23, 2025. Matters approved by the shareholders at the AGM included reappointment of all nine board members (with one moving from non-executive director to executive director), approval of the Company's Dutch statutory annual accounts (financial statements) for the financial year ended March 31, 2025, appointment of KPMG Accountants N.V. as the external auditor of the Company's Dutch statutory annual accounts for the financial year ending March 31, 2026, ratification of the Next Finance and Aplo acquisitions, and authorization of the Company's board of directors to issue up to 73 million ordinary shares for general purposes, which includes acquisitions (approximately 5 million of which were used for the Aplo acquisition).

Other Recent Highlights:

• The Company acquired Aplo SAS, a digital asset prime brokerage for institutional crypto investors based in Paris, on October 14, 2025. Aplo has grown rapidly and today serves more than 60 active institutional clients, including hedge funds, asset managers, banks and large corporates. Aplo was named "Prime Broker of the Year (EMEA)" at the 2025 Hedgeweek Global Digital Asset Awards. The purchase price was approximately $24 million in a stock-for-stock transaction. To complete its acquisition of 100% share ownership of Aplo, Coincheck Parent also paid approximately €148 thousand (the "Cash Consideration") to certain warrant holders of Aplo who, as part of closing, exercised their warrants in exchange for Aplo shares and transferred those Aplo shares to Coincheck Parent in exchange for the Cash Consideration.
• The Company announced a strategic business relationship with Mercoin, a subsidiary of Mercari, Inc., one of the biggest C2C marketplaces in Japan, to expand Coincheck's customer base by allowing Mercari's customer base to open and use Coincheck accounts from within Mercari's customer app.

Non-IFRS financial measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to the Company's results determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, the Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, non-IFRS measures, because the Company believes they are useful in evaluating its operating performance.

EBITDA represents net profit (loss) for the period before the impact of taxes, interest, depreciation, and amortization of intangible assets, and Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA, further adjusted, as follows. Adjusted EBITDA is being calculated differently for the first and second quarter of fiscal 2026 than it was previously calculated for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. When the Company announced its financial results on May 13, 2025 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the further adjustment to calculate Adjusted EBITDA consisted only of transaction expenses. Beginning with the first quarter for the year ending March 31, 2026 (and for the foreseeable future), in evaluating how Adjusted EBITDA should be calculated, the Company considers, in addition to transaction expenses, the non-cash expenses of (i) share-based compensation, which the Company did not have prior to April 1, 2025, the majority of which consists of Coincheck Group restricted share unit awards granted to two of Coincheck, Inc.'s founders and awards granted related to the Company's December 2024 business combination that resulted in the Company's listing on Nasdaq, and (ii) change in fair value of warrant liability, which fluctuates quarter to quarter based on the Company's share price.

The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes and believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

A reconciliation is provided below for each non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Investors are encouraged to review the related IFRS Accounting Standards financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Coincheck Group's business.

Please see tables on the following pages for reconciliations of non-IFRS Accounting Standards financial measures.

U.S. Dollar financial information

For the convenience of the reader, where applicable, Coincheck Group has translated U.S. Dollar amounts from Japanese Yen at the exchange rate of ¥147.97 per $1.00, which was the ¥/$ exchange rate reported by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of September 30, 2025.

This information is intended to be reviewed in conjunction with the Company's filings with the SEC.

Prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company had no share-based compensation expense. In evaluating how Adjusted EBITDA should be calculated for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2026 (and the foreseeable future), the Company considered, in addition to transaction expenses, the non-cash expenses of (i) share-based compensation, the majority of which consisted of Coincheck Group restricted share unit awards granted to two of Coincheck, Inc.'s co-founders, and other restricted share unit awards related to the business combination with Thunder Bridge Capital Partners IV, and (ii) change in fair value of warrant liability, which fluctuates quarter to quarter based on the Company's share price. The Company believes that showing its EBITDA results, further adjusted to exclude share-based compensation and change in fair value of warrant liability, can present a clearer view of the Company's operational performance, and is helpful to view together with EBITDA and net profit or loss.
