Business

AI CROSS, Inc. is a TSE Growth-listed company that operates corporate messaging services as its core business under the mission "Smart Work, Smart Life – Continuously creating good moments in life." The company consists of two segments: the Smart AI Engagement Business, which provides SMS/RCS delivery platforms for B2C operators through its mainstay services "Zettai Reach! SMS" and "Zettai Reach! RCS," and the Marketing Solutions Business, operated by Loupe Inc. (a subsidiary made in October 2025). Its main customers are domestic B2C operators, primarily in the finance and staffing industries, and it holds official delivery routes through direct contracts with all mobile carriers (NTT DoCoMo, KDDI, SoftBank, and Rakuten Mobile).

Business Model

The company enters into contracts with client companies, distributors, and aggregators, recognizing initial customization fees and monthly usage fees based on message volume, among other factors, as revenue. On the cost side, it records SMS/RCS delivery usage fees paid to mobile carriers and server usage fees. The AI-related service "Deep Predictor," a no-code AI analysis tool, offers customization plans tailored to specific challenges. In the Marketing Solutions Business, the company provides advertising planning, creative production, and CRM/MA operation support on an outsourced basis, aiming to diversify its revenue sources.

Company Strengths

The company has signed direct contracts with all mobile carriers—NTT DOCOMO, KDDI, SoftBank, and Rakuten Mobile—enabling it to provide SMS and RCS delivery services via authorized delivery routes. This direct contract framework functions as a barrier to entry and underpins the ¥3,914 million in messaging service revenue recorded in FY2025 (ending December 2025).

In FY2025 (ending December 2025), the Smart AI Engagement Business achieved segment revenue of ¥4,014 million against segment profit of ¥1,051 million, a profit margin of 26.2%. Segment profit grew 20.1% year on year, outpacing revenue growth (up 8.3%), reflecting the success of a focus on highly profitable domestic customers and industry-specific initiatives.

AI-related service revenue in FY2025 (ending December 2025) reached ¥99 million, up 215.13% year on year. The company's core offering is the no-code AI analysis tool "Deep Predictor," and it has built an R&D framework with Professor Masashi Sugiyama of the University of Tokyo as an advisor. Evolving the value proposition through cross-selling with messaging services has contributed to improved profitability.

ENVALITH's Perspective

In Q1 FY2026 (ending December 2026), the company achieved substantial growth in both revenue and profit, with net sales of ¥1,331 million (up 43.0% year-on-year) and operating profit of ¥196 million (up 40.3% year-on-year). Against the full-year forecast (net sales of ¥5,300 million, operating profit of ¥600 million), Q1 progress rates stood at 25.1% and 32.7% respectively, with particularly favorable progress on the profit side. The company has left its earnings forecast unchanged, but if this pace continues, there is potential for an upward revision.

In the Marketing Solutions Business (Loupe), Q1 net sales of ¥160 million were accompanied by segment profit of only ¥17 million, keeping the profit margin at around 11%. This represents a gap in profitability compared to the Smart Messaging Business (profit margin of approximately 26.7%), and realizing integration synergies will be essential to improving profitability across the group as a whole. Goodwill amortization has surged from ¥327 thousand in the same period last year to ¥10,196 thousand, and continued monitoring of the pace of M&A cost recovery is also needed.

Q1 cost of sales rose to ¥852 million (cost of sales ratio of 64.0%) from ¥553 million (59.5%) in the same period last year, with the increase in costs accompanying revenue growth putting pressure on profit margins. In addition, corporate-wide expenses (segment adjustment amount) expanded to ¥129 million from ¥113 million in the same period last year. External factors such as U.S. trade policy and foreign exchange fluctuations remain sources of ongoing uncertainty, and close attention should be paid to expense trends and margin trajectory in the second half.

Growth Strategy

Model transformation toward providing marketing solutions through Messaging × AI, and deepening collaboration across the three business segments

Focus on highly profitable domestic customers and promote industry-specific initiatives centered on financial and HR-related services. Through RCS-based promotions and expanded integration with MA, the company aims to capture the projected FY2030 SMS delivery market of 14,268 million messages (forecast by Deloitte Tohmatsu Mic Research Institute). Q1 revenue reached ¥1,118 million with profit of ¥298 million, expanding steadily.

Centered on the no-code AI analysis tool "Deep Predictor," the company is expanding its business in the AI solutions domain while leveraging synergies with the Smart Messaging Business. In Q1, revenue increased 79.6% year-on-year, and the segment turned from a loss to a profit exceeding ¥9 million, reflecting progress in establishing a proprietary customer base and profitability.

By combining subsidiary Loupe's marketing design capabilities, creative production capabilities, and CRM/MA operational expertise with AI CROSS's Messaging × AI capabilities, the company provides integrated marketing support to client companies. It continues to deepen existing projects with key clients and propose new projects, recording Q1 revenue of ¥160 million and profit of ¥17 million.
