The IR interview reported that Aplix Corporation is pursuing a growth strategy centered on expanding its information platform and communications services, while strengthening its recurring revenue base, including through the acquisition of H2.
Under its management philosophy, Aplix Corporation aims to create richer living experiences through the integration of ICT and the latest technologies, and presented a business roadmap centered on its information platform and communications services. It is building its earnings base across 2 segments, systems development and stock-based businesses, by leveraging its long-cultivated expertise in embedded systems development.
In its business history, the company adapted to the smartphone era with its J-Blend embedded middleware at the core, then expanded into the entertainment sector before streamlining that business in 2017 and refocusing on embedded systems. In recent years, it has advanced the integration of IoT and communications services, achieving greater stability in recurring revenue and a return to profitability.
The core of its growth strategy is to strengthen its information platform business and expand its communications services, while promoting the reorganisation of the AORINO brand and the development of a data business. The company set a target of ¥1 billion in business profit for the fiscal year ending December 2027 and outlined a policy of accelerating growth through M&A and the development of new businesses.
In April 2024, it acquired its subsidiary H2, anticipating cross-selling opportunities and profit generation in the fixed-line telecommunications sector. The acquisition will be reflected in the financial results from the second quarter, with an expected annual profit contribution of approximately ¥200 million. The company intends to continue developing new businesses and providing services that improve convenience.
