Recent Overview

In FY2026 (ending April 2026), the company achieved significant increases in both revenue and profit, with net sales up 47.3% and operating income up 64.4%

For the fiscal year ending April 2026 (May 2025 to April 2026), the company achieved net sales of ¥29,948 million (up 47.3% year on year), operating income of ¥2,100 million (up 64.4% year on year), and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥1,245 million (up 42.1% year on year). In addition to the expansion of large-scale continuing projects related to gaming, well-known IP, and major retailers, the consolidation of NPU Co., Ltd. as a subsidiary contributed to the expansion of high-brand projects. The company changed its method of calculating retirement benefit obligations from the simplified method to the principal method (due to the number of employees exceeding 300), which had the effect of reducing operating income and other items by ¥67 million. For the next fiscal year (fiscal year ending April 2027), the company forecasts net sales of ¥30,100 million and operating income of ¥2,110 million, assuming a full-year contribution from NPU Co., Ltd., among other factors. Effective February 1, 2026, the company implemented a two-for-one stock split.

Key Products

Growth Drivers

• Sustained high level of demand for event and promotion services driven by a full-fledged return to real-world experiences (expansion of large-scale continuing projects related to gaming, well-known IP, major retailers, etc.)
• Expansion of high-brand projects and progress in developing new clients through steady execution of the roll-up strategy (including the consolidation of NPU Co., Ltd. as a subsidiary)
• Provision of wide-ranging, high-quality solutions and realization of synergy effects through the promotion of joint proposals among consolidated group companies
• Diversification of solutions through M&A and promotion of joint development with new and existing clients
• Orders received from clients across nearly all industries trending significantly above the prior year's results

Risks

• Intensifying competition and share battles in a limited market as major advertising companies establish dedicated promotion divisions and reorganize subsidiaries
• Impact on domestic consumption and client budgets from price increases due to yen depreciation and other factors, as well as overseas economic slowdown associated with changes in the trade and tariff environment
• Risk that NPU Co., Ltd.'s results fall short of expectations, given that the forecast for the next fiscal year assumes a full-year contribution from the company
• Risk that increased costs resulting from the change in the method of calculating retirement benefit obligations (from the simplified method to the principal method) will put pressure on profit margins
• Risk that increased costs for securing and developing personnel (selling, general and administrative expenses increased from ¥2,616 million in the prior period to ¥3,431 million in the current period) will put pressure on profit margins
