FY2027 plan targets accelerating revenue and earnings growth, with Q1 to test the initial pace

For the fiscal year ended June 2026, consolidated revenue was ¥5,815 million, up 5.0% year on year, operating profit was ¥685 million, up 77.5%, ordinary profit was ¥732 million, up 83.0%, and net income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥532 million, up 55.7%. The operating margin, calculated from these figures, was 11.8%, a substantial improvement from approximately 7.0% in the fiscal year ended June 2025. Accordingly, in FY2027-Q1 it will be necessary to confirm not only simple revenue growth but also whether the improvement in profitability is continuing.

The company's full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending June 2027 is revenue of ¥6,800 million, operating profit of ¥770 million, ordinary profit of ¥770 million and net income of ¥560 million. Revenue is projected to rise 16.9% year on year and operating profit 12.3%, implying an operating margin of approximately 11.3%. As this is slightly below the 11.8% recorded in the fiscal year ended June 2026, the extent to which costs for expanding overseas talent and investment in new areas are included in the plan will be important.

In FY2026-Q1, revenue was ¥1,336 million, operating profit ¥45 million, ordinary profit ¥65 million and net income attributable to owners of the parent ¥45 million. In the next Q1, these prior-year-quarter figures will serve as the baseline for assessing not only changes in revenue but also whether operating profit exceeds ¥45 million and whether the operating margin exceeds the approximately 3.4% reported in the prior-year quarter. Full-year achievement should not be judged from the Q1 results alone. Progress against the full-year forecast of ¥6,800 million in revenue and ¥770 million in operating profit, together with the company's explanation for maintaining the forecast, will also need to be reviewed.

Under the medium-term management plan, "Road to 250," the company targets revenue of ¥13.0 billion, operating profit of ¥3.0 billion, net income of ¥2.0 billion and a market capitalization of more than ¥25.0 billion for the fiscal year ending June 2030. In FY2027-Q1, whether the company can continue disclosing revenue and segment profit for the marketing, overseas talent and real estate segments will provide an indication of execution, by showing whether the company is narrowing the gap to these long-term targets.
