Business

SPACE SHOWER SKIYAKI Holdings is a holding company established in April 2024 through the business integration of SPACE SHOWER NETWORKS Inc. and SKIYAKI Co., Ltd. It is composed of two segments: the "Content" segment, which operates the music-specialized channel "SPACE SHOWER TV," hosts large-scale music festivals, operates the live venue "WWW / WWW X," and conducts Artist Management, Label & Agency Business; and the "Solutions" segment, which provides fan club, EC, and music distribution platforms. Its main customers are artists and creators as well as their fan base both in Japan and overseas, and it provides entertainment experiences in both physical and digital forms.

Business Model

The Content segment centers on flow-type revenue from event tickets, live house operations, and entertainment cafe visits. The Solutions segment combines stock-type revenue from paid fan club members (1.707 million members) with flow-type revenue from EC and music distribution. The two segments refer customers to each other through cross-sell synergies, forming a virtuous cycle in which expansion of an artist's fan base directly translates into growth in platform membership.

Company Strengths

Both "POP YOURS" and "SPACE SHOWER SWEET LOVE SHOWER" sold out tickets in FY2026 (ending March 2026). "WWW / WWW X" in Shibuya maintained a high utilization rate. The entertainment café "@Home Cafe" attracted 880,000 visitors annually (up 14.9% year on year) with the simultaneous opening of two Nagoya Osu locations, achieving diversification of real-world touchpoints and expansion of its revenue base.

The number of paid fan club members using Bitfan PRO and Bitfan, operated by SKIYAKI, expanded rapidly to 1.707 million (up 28.8% year on year), with the number of services reaching 1,661 (up 32.0% year on year). Stock-type revenue from membership fees is less susceptible to economic fluctuations, functioning as a competitive advantage that enhances revenue stability and predictability.

The company possesses a structure that enables it to handle everything in-house within the group, from master recording production, management, live performances, and digital distribution (SPACE SHOWER FUGA) to fan clubs and e-commerce. This vertically integrated value chain, realized through the business integration in April 2024, enables the provision of 360-degree Solutions to artists, forming a barrier to entry that is difficult for competitors to replicate in a short period of time.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Operating profit of ¥1,957 million for FY2026 (ending March 2026) exceeded, in its very first year, the level set as the FY2028 (ending March 2028) target in the mid-term management plan "Ignite 2027" announced in November 2024. The company has revised its quantitative mid-term targets upward, with FY2027 (ending March 2027) forecasts of ¥23,000 million in net sales, ¥2,000 million in operating profit, and ¥2,610 million in EBITDA. This ahead-of-schedule achievement represents a positive surprise indicating the early materialization of management integration synergies, and can be evaluated favorably alongside the continued policy of shareholder returns (progressive dividends and share buybacks).

The company's forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) calls for net sales of ¥23,000 million (up 0.6% year on year) and operating profit of ¥2,000 million (up 2.2% year on year), a significant deceleration from the high growth seen in FY2026 (ending March 2026) (net sales up 10.8%, operating profit up 123.0%). As an external factor, rising production costs and personnel expenses driven by inflation are continuing, and this cost pressure could constrain the scope for margin improvement. While ticket sell-outs for major festivals continue, risks to the sustainability of demand remain, including an increasing tendency among consumers to be selective in their spending and economic uncertainty stemming from US tariff policy.

The number of paid fan club members, the growth engine of the Solutions segment, maintained high growth of up 28.8% year on year, but competition among fan platforms both domestically and overseas is intensifying as a market condition, raising questions about the sustainability of differentiation. In addition, the rapid advancement of digital technologies, including generative AI, is transforming the nature of content production and distribution, and its impact on existing business models warrants close monitoring. On the other hand, the combination of share buybacks (capped at ¥200 million annually) and progressive dividends (targeting a payout ratio of 40-50%) demonstrates enhanced shareholder returns, with the FY2026 (ending March 2026) dividend payout ratio of 34.2% falling within the target range.

Growth Strategy

In the revised "Ignite 2027" plan, the company is advancing platform growth acceleration, enhancement of Content value-add, and DX promotion

Continuing to expand the number of paid fan club members and services through expansion of new contracts with artists and creators, strengthening BtoB implementation support, and consideration of overseas expansion. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the company achieved 1.707 million members and 1,661 services, and aims to further build up its recurring revenue base.

In addition to strengthening program production and live streaming, the company is promoting revenue diversification through development of proprietary IP. It continues to maintain and expand the brand of large-scale festivals (SPACE SHOWER SWEET LOVE SHOWER / POP YOURS) and to build up its track record of co-hosting large-scale events through its production business (GFEST2025., FUKUOKA MUSIC FES.2026, etc.).

Promoting value creation through the collaboration of multiple businesses, including merchandise sales, fan club operation support, and event planning. The company is deepening synergies between the Content segment and Solutions segment, strengthening a cross-selling model that converts artists' live revenue into fan club, EC, and streaming revenue.

Achieving improved profitability and faster decision-making through the renewal of core systems and optimization of business processes. Following the group reorganization effective April 1, 2025 (absorption-type merger of Connect Plus Co., Ltd. and absorption-type company split of the Alliance Business), the company has established a framework for appropriate allocation of management resources and strengthened synergies among segments.

During the period of the medium-term management plan "Ignite 2027," the company aims to continue progressive dividends targeting a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 40-50%. Share buybacks, capped at ¥200 million annually, will also continue to be implemented. The year-end dividend for FY2026 (ending March 2026) is ¥25 (an increase from ¥13 in the previous period), and the forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) is ¥30.
