Earnings Presentation Materials for the Third Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending May 2026

For the nine months ended February 2026, revenue declined from ¥684 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥452 million, as the number of new paying PostPrime users and the retention rate fell, while TakaTrade's contribution to earnings remained limited. Related costs also increased, and operating profit swung from a profit of ¥198 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year to a loss of ¥188 million.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

At PostPrime, revenue declined as the number of new paying users fell and the retention rate decreased. Improvements in the retention rate and the acquisition of new users did not progress as expected, while the impact of new content was also limited. At TakaTrade, the expansion of trading volume was delayed relative to expectations, limiting its contribution to earnings, while related costs increased. The decline in revenue from both businesses had a significant impact, and the effect of cost reductions was also limited.
