Business

Feedforce Group Inc. is a pure holding company (transitioned in September 2021) built around the concept of "delivering corporate information to users in an appropriate form," supporting B2B enterprises in the digital marketing and e-commerce domains. Comprising 7 consolidated subsidiaries and 1 affiliate, the group operates three segments: managed digital advertising agency services and data feed marketing support for enterprises (Professional Services), SaaS tool provision (SaaS Business), and Shopify-based e-commerce build support (DX Business). Leveraging technical partnerships with digital platform providers such as Google and Meta, the company provides services to a broad customer base ranging from major corporations to SMBs.

Business Model

Professional Services, accounting for roughly 60% of revenue, is centered on fee income from performance-based ad management proxy services and data feed support for enterprise clients, achieving a high-profitability structure with an operating margin of 42.5% (FY2025, ended May 2025). The SaaS Business secures stable recurring revenue through subscription-type tools such as dfplus.io and Social PLUS. The DX Business, centered on Shopify-based e-commerce build support and app development, is in a growth investment phase. The three businesses form group synergies in areas such as the data feed field, creating a circular structure in which upstream ad management know-how feeds back into SaaS products.

Company Strengths

In FY2025 (ending May 2025), the Professional Services segment recorded an operating margin of 42.5% (net sales of ¥2,637 million, operating profit of ¥1,122 million). Anagrams' net sales expanded for five consecutive fiscal years, from ¥1,499 million in FY2021 (ending May 2021) to ¥2,574 million in FY2025 (ending May 2025), with segment profit also increasing from ¥791 million to ¥1,122 million. The simultaneous deepening of enterprise client relationships and acquisition of new clients underpins this high profitability.

The Group collaborates as a technical partner with major digital platform providers such as Google and Meta, and possesses in-depth knowledge of the technical requirements of each platform. This relationship enables smooth ad placement and API utilization, serving as a differentiating factor from competitors. The track record of DF PLUS, which has also been adopted by numerous major advertising agencies, underpins this reliability.

The number of projects using dfplus.io expanded approximately 2.4-fold, from 175 in FY2021 (ending May 2021) to 414 in FY2025 (ending May 2025). Social PLUS also increased from 309 to 467 projects. Net sales of the SaaS Business as a whole grew approximately 2.1-fold, from ¥601 million (FY2021, ending May 2021) to ¥1,259 million (FY2025, ending May 2025), forming a stable subscription-based revenue base.

ENVALITH's Perspective

In FY2026 (ending May 2026), net sales reached ¥4,912 million (up 12.3% year on year), while operating profit rose to ¥1,981 million (up 24.4%) and profit attributable to owners of parent increased to ¥1,445 million (up 44.2%), with profit growth substantially outpacing sales growth. Return on equity improved markedly from 33.4% to 41.9%. The DX Business turning profitable (operating profit of ¥144 million) and the disappearance of the ¥90 million loss on sale of investment securities recorded in the prior period both boosted net profit. As an external tailwind, the domestic internet advertising market reached a record high of ¥4 trillion in 2025, up 10.8% year on year.

The company has announced a mid-term target of net sales of ¥8,000 million and operating profit of ¥3,000 million by FY2028 (ending May 2028), but achieving this within two years from the FY2026 (ending May 2026) actual result of ¥4,912 million would require an annual growth rate of approximately 28%. The forecast for FY2027 (ending May 2027) calls for net sales of ¥5,741 million (up 16.9% year on year) and operating profit of ¥2,362 million (up 19.2%), indicating steady growth, but achieving the mid-term target will require a further acceleration in FY2028 (ending May 2028). Contributions from ECPower (Customer Analytics Tool) and expansion of the DX Business will be key.

In FY2026 (ending May 2026), the company conducted share buybacks of ¥800 million (expanded from ¥500 million in the prior period) and raised its dividend per share to ¥15 (from ¥10 in the prior period), expanding total shareholder returns while maintaining a dividend payout ratio of 25.2%. For FY2027 (ending May 2027), the company plans a dividend per share of ¥20 (payout ratio forecast at 31.3%). Meanwhile, cash and cash equivalents at period-end stood at a healthy ¥4,701 million, and against short-term borrowings of ¥1,300 million and long-term borrowings of ¥1,000 million, the equity ratio was maintained at 43.3%, indicating that financial soundness remains at a satisfactory level.
