Summary
In FY03/2026, EOLE has ramped up new businesses centered on its AI DC business and BTC acquisition, driving a transformation from a conventional internet media company to a new business structure with "AI + crypto finance" as its growth engine. By 3Q, the AI DC business accounted for over 60% of revenue, marking a structural shift, and the full-year results will serve as a full-scale test of this new business portfolio's profitability and sustainability. Notably, additional crypto asset valuation losses are already factored into the company's plan for 4Q, and an unusual P&L structure is expected to be confirmed—maintaining operating profitability while posting losses at the recurring profit and net income levels. The core investment question is how to assess the coexistence of ongoing dilution from warrant exercises and BTC price volatility risk.
Key Points For Next Quarter
| Key Points & Focus | Implications |
|---|---|
AI DC Business Revenue Scale4Q standalone GPU server sales and full-year revenue progress | Against 3Q cumulative revenue of JPY 4,625M, the remaining balance toward the full-year plan is approximately JPY 5,598M (our estimate). 4Q standalone revenue needs to exceed 75% of the 3Q cumulative figure, making the delivery timing of large orders critical |
Final Level of Crypto Asset Valuation LossesAdditional BTC valuation losses booked in 4Q | The company plan calls for a full-year recurring loss of JPY -533M (3Q cumulative: JPY -48M). This implies a 4Q standalone recurring loss of JPY -485M (our estimate), with the quarter-end BTC market price determining the final P&L outcome |
Existing Business ProfitabilitySegment P&L improvement in AI UI business | 3Q cumulative segment loss of JPY -42M. Need to confirm whether fixed cost reductions from the completion of Rakuraku Renrakumo+ divestiture and travel business discontinuation materialize in 4Q |
Capital Policy and DilutionProgress of warrant exercises and shares outstanding | 38,254,920 shares at 3Q-end (+44.4% vs. prior FY-end). Further dilution risk depending on the exercise status of remaining warrants |
Crypto Finance Business LaunchLending service AUM and earnings contribution | "Rakuraku Cho Coin" officially launched in January 2026. Whether JPY 3B+ in corporate applications can be monetized in 4Q will shape medium- to long-term business value |
Equity SoundnessEquity ratio and retained earnings trajectory | Equity ratio was 46.4% at 3Q-end, but retained earnings stood at JPY -1,482M. With a projected full-year net loss of JPY -505M, watch for further expansion of the retained earnings deficit |
Key Issues From Previous Results (FY03/2026 3Q Results)
3Q cumulative revenue came in at JPY 7,659M with operating income of JPY 134M, securing profitability at the operating level, but BTC valuation losses of JPY 182M pushed results into a recurring loss of JPY -48M. Under the new management team's "select and focus" strategy (divestiture of Rakuraku Renrakumo+, discontinuation of the travel business) and rapid pivot toward the AI DC business, the full-year results will test the overall earnings balance of the new business portfolio.
1. 4Q Revenue Ramp in the AI DC Business and Margin Sustainability
- Prior Quarter:3Q cumulative GPU server sales of JPY 4,625M, segment profit of JPY 173M (margin: 3.7%). The buildout of a dealer distribution network has been effective, and Blackwell architecture-compatible products have been introduced
- What To Watch This Quarter:Achieving the full-year revenue plan of JPY 13,257M requires approximately JPY 5,598M in 4Q revenue (our estimate). GPU server revenue recognition is dependent on the delivery timing of large orders, so the feasibility of this heavy 4Q weighting needs to be verified
- Key Metrics:4Q standalone AI DC business revenue and segment margin (benchmark: maintenance or improvement from the 3Q cumulative 3.7%)
2. BTC Price Volatility and the Final Crypto Asset Valuation Loss
- Prior Quarter:Held 113.64 BTC at 3Q-end (average acquisition cost: JPY 15,222,860). Crypto asset valuation losses of JPY 182M were booked as non-operating expenses, resulting in a recurring loss of JPY -48M
- What To Watch This Quarter:The full-year company plan projects a recurring loss of JPY -533M. This implies a 4Q standalone recurring loss of JPY -485M (our estimate), with the scale of additional valuation losses from post-3Q BTC purchases and price movements in focus
- Key Metrics:Quarter-end BTC market price and BTC holdings, full-year cumulative crypto asset valuation losses. As of April 2026, BTC is trading around JPY 10.62M, implying an unrealized loss of approximately 30% relative to the acquisition cost
3. AI UI Business Earnings Structure Post-Portfolio Restructuring
- Prior Quarter:AI UI business revenue was JPY 3,054M (+19.7% YoY), but the segment posted a loss of JPY -42M. HR Data and Pet businesses were the main drivers
- What To Watch This Quarter:Whether HR Data business growth can offset the revenue decline from the completed divestiture of Rakuraku Renrakumo+ (Communication Data business, 3Q cumulative: JPY 453M) and the discontinuation of the travel business (3Q cumulative: JPY 164M)
- Key Metrics:4Q AI UI business segment P&L (whether it turns profitable), quarterly revenue trajectory of the HR Data business
4. Fundraising Progress and Dilution Impact
- Prior Quarter:Raised approximately JPY 2,162M through third-party allotment warrant exercises. Shares outstanding increased from 26,489,920 to 38,254,920 (+44.4%). Use of proceeds was redirected from 100% BTC acquisition to AI DC business investment (JPY 2B) and strategic investments (JPY 1.5B)
- What To Watch This Quarter:Additional dilution risk from continued exercise of remaining warrants, and the specific execution status of the revised use of proceeds
- Key Metrics:Shares outstanding at FY-end, EPS landing (full-year plan: JPY -15.44), execution track record of fund deployment
5. Crypto Finance Business Launch (Neo Crypto Bank Vision)
- Prior Quarter:The crypto-related segment generated only JPY 3M in revenue, still in its nascent stage. Neo Crypto Bank GK and two other entities were consolidated as subsidiaries, and the crypto lending service "Rakuraku Cho Coin" officially launched in January 2026
- What To Watch This Quarter:Pre-registration confirmed demand of JPY 3B+ from corporates and JPY 5B+ including individuals. Whether actual lending operations commenced in 4Q (Jan–Mar) generate interest income from crypto assets lent (JPY 731M at 3Q-end)
- Key Metrics:Crypto assets lent balance, crypto finance business segment revenue and margins

Previous Quarter Results (FY03/2026 3Q Actual)
EOLE is a Growth Market-listed company built on an internet media foundation. Following the launch of a new management team in June 2025, the company pivoted to a growth strategy centered on the AI DC business (GPU server sales) and BTC acquisition, establishing a dual-pillar structure alongside the legacy AI UI business (job advertising, HR data, etc.). The AI DC business now accounts for over 60% of 3Q cumulative revenue, reflecting a structural shift, while the divestiture of the Communication Data business (Rakuraku Renrakumo+) and discontinuation of the travel business underscore its "select and focus" approach. Profitable at the operating level, but BTC valuation losses pushed recurring results into the red. As quarterly consolidated financial statements were prepared for the first time this fiscal year, YoY comparisons are not available.
