Broadmedia Corporation

Business Details

Operates the broad-area correspondence high school business under the "Renaissance High School Group" (three schools: Daigo, Toyota, and Osaka), Japanese teacher training and Japanese language training for foreign nationals via "Renaissance Japanese Language Institute," the programming schools "Tech Camp" and "Tech Camp High School" operated by div, Inc., and the IT-industry-focused career change support service "div Agent" operated by div Career, Inc. This core segment accounts for approximately 35% of group revenue and is positioned as a growth area capturing EdTech and reskilling demand.

Recent Overview

Revenue and profit both increased driven by strong AI education and corporate training expansion; div, Inc. achieved its first-ever profitability in the fourth quarter

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the Education segment posted revenue of ¥5,507 million (up ¥122 million, +2.3% year on year) and operating profit of ¥967 million (up ¥125 million year on year), representing increased revenue and profit. While the correspondence high school business saw a decline in revenue and profit due to a decrease in enrollment at the Daigo campus and rising labor and advertising costs, the Japanese language education business posted a profit on increased student enrollment. In the AI and programming education business, losses narrowed significantly due to strong performance at Tech Camp AI College, increased revenue from corporate training and employment transition schools, and fixed cost reductions, with div, Inc. achieving profitability in the fourth quarter (January to March) for the first time since joining the group.

Key Products

Growth Drivers

• Strong performance of AI education services such as Tech Camp AI College and expanding demand for corporate training and employment transition schools

Risks

• Enrollment at the Daigo campus (Renaissance High School) continues to trend below the prior year, weighing on overall revenue in the correspondence high school business
• Rising personnel costs and cost increases due to inflation in the correspondence high school business are expected to reduce profit in existing businesses in the next fiscal year (FY2027, ending March 2027)
• Risk that rising costs associated with in-person classroom instruction in the Japanese language education business will weigh on profit in the next fiscal year
• Decline in consumer-facing "Tech Camp" revenue due to reduced advertising spend, along with intensifying competition from rival programming schools
• Ongoing goodwill amortization (¥50 million annually) continues to weigh on Education segment profit
• Regulatory and cost risks associated with expanding locations, including securing suitable properties and filing applications with licensing authorities needed to expand enrollment capacity
