Full-Year Financial Results Presentation for the Fiscal Year Ending August 2026

In the fiscal year ended August 2026, consolidated revenue declined and the operating loss widened, although the regional information distribution business grew, because the partner-related business and hometown tax donations fell short of plan. For the fiscal year ending August 2027, the company plans to return to operating profitability through the spin-off of the hometown tax donation business and expansion of the MRR business.
