Second-Quarter Financial Results Briefing Materials for the Fiscal Year Ending August 2026

For the six months ended the second quarter, revenue increased 4.5% year on year to ¥875 million, while operating income turned from a loss in the same period of the previous year to a profit of ¥15 million. Growth in MRR and the relationship-population development business partly offset the decline in revenue from the hometown tax donation business, while cost reductions also improved profit margins.

The reasons the company gives

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

MRR grew on the expansion of high-priced plans for enterprise customers, while the relationship-population development business benefited from an increase in seminars and corporate collaboration projects. Although revenue from the hometown tax donation business declined following a pullback in rush demand ahead of the September revision to the points system, profit improved as the company reduced costs by improving its internal systems for call centers and document mailing.
