• Renet Japan Group Inc. announced its consolidated financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending September 2026 (October 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026).
• Consolidated net sales for the third quarter period amounted to ¥10,818 million, representing a 37.5% increase year-on-year.
• Operating profit was ¥1,014 million (up 380.3% year-on-year), ordinary profit was ¥594 million (up 112.1%), and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥472 million (up 172.5%).
• By segment, the Reuse and Recycling business reported net sales of ¥9,623 million (up 52.2% year-on-year) and segment profit of ¥1,758 million (up 117.9%).
• The Social Care business reported net sales of ¥1,195 million (down 22.4% year-on-year) and a segment loss of ¥47 million (compared to a profit of ¥75 million in the prior year’s period).
• The consolidated full-year performance forecast and the annual dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending September 2026 remain unchanged from the most recently announced figures.

G-Renet Japan’s Q3 FY2026 results show significant year-over-year growth in sales and various profit metrics, primarily driven by strong performance in the Reuse and Recycling segment. This growth appears to be supported by enhanced collaborations with local governments in the small appliance recycling business and the expanding internet market for reuse. Conversely, the Social Care segment experienced a decline in sales and a segment loss, highlighting a divergence in performance between the company’s business areas. The unchanged full-year earnings forecast suggests the company’s current outlook on its future business trajectory.

• Will Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026.
• Consolidated net sales reached ¥9,020 million, marking a 39.1% increase compared to the same period of the previous year.
• Consolidated operating income was ¥997 million (up 79.9% year-on-year), and consolidated ordinary income was ¥910 million (up 84.1% year-on-year).

• By segment, the Development and Condominium Sales business contributed significantly, with sales of ¥5,504 million (up 61.2% year-on-year) and operating income of ¥332 million (up 121.9% year-on-year).

Will’s Q2 FY2026 results demonstrate substantial growth across all key financial metrics, with the development and condominium sales business being a primary driver. The company’s strategic focus on strengthening its fee-based business in conjunction with renovation services and expanding into major metropolitan areas appears to be yielding positive results. The increased order backlog in the renovation segment suggests potential for continued robust performance in the upcoming periods.

• G-Stella Pharma has signed a Master Collaboration Agreement with China Biotech Services Holdings Limited (CBSH) and its subsidiary, Pengbo (Hainan) Boron Neutron Medical Technology Co., Ltd. (Pengbo), for the development and sales of its BNCT drug in mainland China.
• Under this agreement, the companies will jointly promote a Real World Study (RWS) utilizing Real World Data (RWD) obtained from the Hainan Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone, aiming for approval from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).
• During the development stage, CBSH, Pengbo, or their designated entity will act as the domestic agent for regulatory applications, while G-Stella Pharma, as the overseas Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH), will provide necessary data and support for approval.
• For the commercialization stage, upon obtaining approval in mainland China, Pengbo will be appointed as the exclusive domestic agent, and a CBSH-designated entity will serve as the master importer for distribution and sales.
• The impact of this agreement on the financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2027 is expected to be minor.

This collaboration represents a significant step for G-Stella Pharma’s overseas business expansion, a key pillar of its growth strategy, by formally entering the mainland China market, one of the largest pharmaceutical markets globally. The established framework, leveraging the Hainan medical zone’s regulatory pathway for approval and securing sales channels in advance, could indicate potential for mid-to-long term business growth and enhanced corporate value.

• Masaru Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending September 2026 (October 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026).
• During this cumulative third quarter, net sales amounted to ¥6.783 billion, representing a 10.2% decrease compared to the same period in the previous year.
• Operating profit was ¥353 million (up 0.6% YoY), ordinary profit was ¥367 million (up 0.8% YoY), and net profit attributable to parent company was ¥215 million (up 12.9% YoY).
• As of the end of the third consolidated quarter, total assets stood at ¥8.560 billion, net assets at ¥5.306 billion, and the equity ratio was 62.0%.
• The consolidated full-year earnings forecast for FY2026 and the dividend forecast (annual dividend of ¥110.00) remain unchanged from the most recently announced figures.

In the cumulative third quarter, Masaru reported a decline in net sales, but simultaneously achieved increases in operating profit, ordinary profit, and net profit attributable to the parent company year-over-year. This may suggest that the company’s efforts in improving operational efficiency and cost management are yielding positive results. The improved equity ratio could also indicate a strengthened financial position.

• WILL GROUP’s consolidated revenue for Q1 FY2027 reached ¥40.35 billion, a 14.6% increase year-on-year, marking a record high for a first quarter.
• Consolidated operating profit for the same period was ¥0.93 billion, a significant increase of 135.6% year-on-year. Normalized operating profit stood at ¥0.91 billion (+135.9% YoY).
• By segment, Domestic Working business revenue was ¥23.37 billion (+10.3% YoY), with segment profit of ¥0.87 billion (+50.5% YoY).
• Overseas Working business revenue was ¥16.96 billion (+21.2% YoY), with segment profit of ¥0.70 billion (+49.4% YoY).
• Revenue growth was attributed to the steady expansion of full-time and foreign HR businesses in the essential services domain within Domestic Working, strong performance in both temporary staffing and recruitment in Overseas Working, and a positive foreign exchange impact of ¥2.63 billion.
• Following the strong Q1 performance, the company revised its interim financial forecast upwards.

WILL GROUP’s Q1 results demonstrate substantial growth in both revenue and operating profit, with operating profit more than doubling year-on-year. This performance may suggest that the company’s efforts to improve profitability, particularly through business portfolio restructuring in the Domestic Working segment and increased recruitment sales in the Overseas Working segment, are yielding positive outcomes. The focus on full-time and foreign HR businesses within essential services, a key strategy of its mid-term plan, appears to be contributing to current financial results.

• Soliton Systems has revised its consolidated financial forecast for the fiscal year ending December 2026.
• Revenue forecast was increased from ¥21.2 billion to ¥22.3 billion (a 5.2% increase), and operating profit from ¥3.15 billion to ¥3.9 billion (a 23.8% increase).
• Net profit attributable to owners of parent was revised up from ¥2.35 billion to ¥2.67 billion (a 13.6% increase).
• In conjunction with the revised earnings forecast, the year-end dividend forecast for December 2026 was increased from ¥30 to ¥42 per share, resulting in an annual dividend of ¥72.
• The company cited strong sales in its core IT security business, particularly for its No.1 domestic share authentication appliance “NetAttest EPS” and multi-factor authentication cloud service “Soliton OneGate,” as reasons for the upward revision.

This upward revision of the earnings forecast suggests that strong demand in the core IT security sector is contributing to the company’s profitability. The robust sales of high-margin proprietary products and services appear to be a key driver for improved profit margins, leading to enhanced shareholder returns through increased dividends. The company’s statement that it expects to achieve its medium-term management plan targets one year ahead of schedule could indicate strong operational execution and a positive outlook for future growth.

• Muninova Holdings Corporation was established on April 1, 2026, through a sole share transfer, thus no year-on-year comparisons are provided.
• For the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026), consolidated operating revenue was ¥57,339 million.
• Consolidated operating profit for the same period was ¥9,871 million, and consolidated ordinary profit was ¥9,791 million.
• Net income attributable to owners of the parent company amounted to ¥10,483 million, with basic earnings per share of ¥21.89.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 projects operating revenue of ¥238,600 million, net income attributable to owners of the parent company of ¥32,000 million, and basic earnings per share of ¥66.81.

As this is the first quarterly report since Muninova HD’s transition to a holding company structure on April 1, 2026, the absence of prior period comparisons means the reported figures establish a new baseline. Investors may focus on these initial results as an indication of performance under the new structure and its progress towards the mid-term management plan. The contributions of its core segments—loan, credit guarantee, and card & payment businesses—to the overall revenue and profit figures could be key areas to monitor going forward.

• Anshin Guarantee Co., Ltd. announced its non-consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026).
• Operating revenue increased by 12.1% year-over-year to 1,656 million yen.
• The company reported an operating loss of 175 million yen (vs. 83 million yen loss in the prior-year period), an ordinary loss of 131 million yen (vs. 49 million yen loss), and a net loss of 94 million yen (vs. 29 million yen loss), indicating an expansion of losses across all categories.
• Total assets stood at 15,474 million yen (up 4.5% from the previous fiscal year-end), while net assets decreased by 3.6% to 2,506 million yen. The equity ratio was 16.2%.
• The full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 has not been provided due to the planned delisting of the company’s shares following a tender offer announced on May 12, 2026.

Anshin Guarantee’s first-quarter results show a notable increase in operating revenue, yet concurrently expanding losses, which investors may find significant. This trend is attributed to increased collection agency fees paid to franchisees, higher loan loss related expenses, and advisory fees associated with the tender offer. Given the upcoming delisting and the absence of a full-year forecast, future disclosures regarding the company’s financial transition could be worth monitoring.

• Harima Bistem Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026).

• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 remains unchanged from the previously announced figures: net sales of ¥32,000 million, operating profit of ¥1,300 million, ordinary profit of ¥1,500 million, and net profit of ¥1,000 million (¥111.48 per share).
• The annual dividend forecast is ¥18.00 for the interim and ¥18.00 for the year-end, totaling ¥36.00, with no changes from the latest public announcement.
• Total assets were ¥17,498 million, net assets were ¥10,254 million, and the equity ratio was 58.6%.

Harima Bistem’s first quarter for FY2027 showed significant year-over-year growth across all key profit metrics, primarily driven by new contract operations and increased temporary work. Despite this strong start, the full-year earnings forecast remains unchanged, suggesting that planned increases in personnel costs and human capital investments from Q2 onwards are expected to impact future profitability. Investors may find it worthwhile to monitor the company’s ability to manage these anticipated cost increases while achieving its full-year targets.

• Technomathematical Co., Ltd. announced its non-consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026).
• Sales revenue for the quarter was ¥95 million, a 1.8% decrease compared to the same period in the previous year.
• The company reported an operating loss of ¥51 million, an ordinary loss of ¥49 million, and a net loss for the quarter of ¥50 million. These loss figures represent a narrowing of losses compared to the prior year’s first quarter (operating loss ¥68 million, ordinary loss ¥73 million, net loss ¥73 million).
• Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was △¥19.33, an improvement from △¥28.45 in the prior year’s first quarter.
• As of the end of the first quarter, total assets stood at ¥1,853 million, net assets at ¥1,779 million, and the equity ratio was 96.0%.
• The full-year forecast for March 2027 remains unchanged, projecting sales of ¥705 million (up 2.8% YoY), operating profit of ¥37 million (down 17.2% YoY), ordinary profit of ¥34 million (down 68.0% YoY), and net profit of ¥31 million (down 64.0% YoY).

While sales experienced a slight decline in Q1, the company showed an improvement in narrowing its losses across key profit metrics compared to the previous year. Considering the company’s business characteristic, where sales tend to concentrate at major clients’ fiscal year-ends and selling, general, and administrative expenses do not fluctuate significantly by quarter, the performance in subsequent quarters warrants attention. The unchanged full-year forecast suggests the company expects to meet its annual targets, with progress to be monitored by the market in Q2 and beyond.

• Shikoku Chemicals Corp. announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026.
• Net sales reached ¥45.84 billion (+34.1% YoY), operating profit ¥9.43 billion (+79.7% YoY), ordinary profit ¥9.69 billion (+86.2% YoY), and net profit attributable to owners of parent ¥6.66 billion (+78.7% YoY).
• The Chemical Products segment, particularly Fine Chemicals, performed strongly due to increased AI-related demand, leading to record-high results for all profit items in an interim consolidated accounting period.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending December 2026 has been revised upwards, projecting net sales of ¥94.00 billion (+32.9% YoY), operating profit of ¥18.00 billion (+65.6% YoY), ordinary profit of ¥18.40 billion (+54.3% YoY), and net profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥12.60 billion (+48.9% YoY).
• A 2-for-1 stock split of common shares was conducted on July 1, 2026.

Shikoku Chemicals Corp.’s Q2 FY2026 results show significant revenue and profit growth, largely driven by the strong performance of its Chemical Products segment, particularly Fine Chemicals, boosted by AI-related demand. This suggests a growing contribution from high-value-added products within the company’s business portfolio, leading to record profits. The upward revision of the full-year earnings forecast indicates management’s confidence in the continued favorable business environment for the second half of the fiscal year.

• For the nine months ended June 30, 2026 (Q3 FY2026), Hi-Crates reported net sales of ¥1,914 million, representing a 9.1% increase year-on-year.

Hi-Crates’ reported revenue and profit increases for Q3 FY2026 suggest a positive impact from its initiatives in dental healthcare DX and adaptation to upcoming medical fee revisions. The company specifically highlights the contribution of its AI-powered electronic medical record system, Revo.11, indicating successful market penetration in a transforming industry. With the full-year and dividend forecasts maintained, investors may monitor the continued execution of its growth strategies.

• Mizuho Medy Co., Ltd. announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter (interim period) of the fiscal year ending December 2026.

• Operating profit was 996 million yen (down 32.5% YoY), ordinary profit was 1,111 million yen (down 20.5% YoY), and interim net profit was 822 million yen (down 19.4% YoY).

• The full-year earnings forecast and the annual dividend forecast (50.00 yen for interim, 50.00 yen for year-end, total 100.00 yen) for the fiscal year ending December 2026 remain unchanged.
• The company launched “Quick Chaser CARBA RESIST-6 RUO” as a research reagent and plans to launch “SmartGene NHPH” as a research reagent and “SmartGene Pertussis”.

The interim period results indicate a decrease in demand for COVID-19 testing reagents, while existing infectious disease trends showed mixed dynamics. The continued investment in R&D and launch of new testing reagents, such as the Quick Chaser and SmartGene series, could be a key factor for future growth. The unchanged full-year forecasts and dividend expectations may suggest that the company anticipates a recovery or stabilization in the latter half of the fiscal year.

• Resorttrust Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026).
• Consolidated net sales reached ¥61,261 million, marking a 16.0% increase compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.

The medical business reported net sales of ¥14,701 million (+8.3%) and segment profit of ¥2,218 million (+21.8%). All major segments achieved both increased revenue and profit.

Resorttrust’s Q1 FY2027 results highlight strong performance across all segments. The significant growth in the membership business, driven by the launch of new memberships for “Sanctuary Court Sotobo Suzushima” and robust sales of existing hotel memberships, appears to be a key contributor to the overall profitability. Price revisions in the hotel and restaurant segment and an increase in medical club memberships also likely supported the positive revenue and profit trends.

• Uchiyama Holdings announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026).
• Net sales were ¥7,323 million, a 0.1% decrease compared to the same period last year.
• Operating profit stood at ¥165 million (down 29.5% year-on-year), while ordinary profit increased by 38.0% to ¥377 million.
• Net profit attributable to owners of parent significantly increased by 412.5% to ¥979 million, including a deferred tax adjustment gain of ¥900 million.
• In the nursing care business, the company acquired new facilities through a subsidiary’s share acquisition, and the average occupancy rate of existing facilities improved to 95.6% (from 93.9% in the prior year period).

The substantial increase in net profit for Q1 appears to be largely driven by the recognition of a deferred tax adjustment gain, rather than operational revenue growth. Investors may focus on the underlying performance of core segments, such as the strategic initiatives in the karaoke business and the improved occupancy rates in the nursing care segment, as indicators of sustainable growth.

• G-Lakeel reported net sales of ¥3,937 million for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026, marking an 8.1% decrease compared to the same period last year.
• The company posted operating loss of ¥71 million, ordinary loss of ¥76 million, and net loss attributable to owners of the parent of ¥72 million. This contrasts with operating profit of ¥606 million, ordinary profit of ¥609 million, and net profit of ¥416 million in the prior-year interim period.
• Basic earnings per share for the interim period was a loss of ¥10.64, down from a profit of ¥58.73 in the previous year.
• The consolidated full-year earnings forecast has been revised, projecting net sales of ¥8,000 million (up 3.5% YoY), operating profit of ¥0 million (down 100.0%), ordinary loss of ¥10 million, net loss attributable to owners of the parent of ¥383 million, and basic earnings per share loss of ¥56.47.
• By service type, Product Services revenue was ¥2,280 million (down 18.8% YoY), while Professional Services revenue increased by 12.1% YoY to ¥1,656 million.

The reported decline in net sales and the swing to losses across key profitability metrics are significant aspects of this announcement. The decrease in Product Services revenue appears to be a primary driver for the overall revenue decline, despite growth in Professional Services. The revised full-year forecast also suggests a challenging outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year, which investors may want to monitor closely for insights into the company’s strategic adjustments.

System Support HD demonstrated significant double-digit growth in both revenue and all profit metrics for the fiscal year ended June 2026. The operating profit growth rate exceeding that of sales may suggest an improvement in profitability. Investors should note the 2-for-1 stock split when analyzing per-share figures, as it impacts the comparability of data.

• TENO. Holdings Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026.

TENO.’s Q2 FY2026 results show solid sales growth and a substantial increase in EBITDA, which could indicate improvements in operational efficiency and cost management contributing to higher profitability. The unchanged full-year forecast suggests that the company considers the current progress to be in line with its expectations. Investors may want to monitor future announcements for further details on the factors driving this strong EBITDA performance.

• G-BCC announced its consolidated financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending September 2026 (October 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026).

This announcement marks the first quarterly consolidated financial results for G-BCC, as the company began preparing consolidated statements from the first quarter of FY2026. The inclusion of Good Digital Co., Ltd. and Robotasnet Co., Ltd. into the scope of consolidation could potentially influence the company’s future business portfolio and financial performance. For a company focused on IT sales outsourcing and healthcare businesses, monitoring how these newly consolidated entities contribute to existing operations and potential synergies may be of interest to investors.

Higashimaru’s Q1 results indicate a notable turnaround in performance, with both increased sales and substantial profit improvement, especially considering the prior year’s Q1 operating profit of ¥1 million and net loss attributable to owners of parent. Both the Marine Products and Food Products segments contributed to the revenue growth, with the Marine Products segment showing a significant 25.6% increase in segment profit, which may suggest effective cost management or strategic adjustments. Investors might want to monitor the progress towards the full-year forecast.

Investors may find it worthwhile to monitor the company’s ability to sustain this momentum throughout the fiscal year.

• The company plans a worldwide simultaneous release of “The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 2nd” for Nintendo Switch 2/Nintendo Switch/PlayStation 5/Steam in September 2026, with the full-year earnings forecast weighted heavily towards the fourth quarter.

G-Falcom’s Q3 FY2026 results show significant growth across all key financial metrics, with particularly strong performance in the licensing division. This may suggest that the company’s strategy of expanding existing titles overseas and launching new titles across multiple platforms is proving successful. The upcoming global simultaneous release of “The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 2nd” in Q4 could indicate continued momentum towards achieving their full-year earnings forecast, a factor worth monitoring for investors.

• Nippon Kanzai Holdings Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026).
• Net sales for the quarter reached ¥38,392 million, marking a 9.3% increase year-over-year.
• Operating profit was ¥3,134 million (up 14.8% YoY), and ordinary profit was ¥3,226 million (up 5.3% YoY).
• Net income attributable to owners of the parent stood at ¥2,339 million, an increase of 20.4% year-over-year.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast for FY2027 remains unchanged, projecting net sales of ¥158,000 million (up 5.2% YoY) and net income attributable to owners of the parent of ¥7,300 million (up 2.5% YoY).
• The interim review of the quarterly consolidated financial statements by certified public accountants has been completed.

• Azumaship Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026).
• Operating revenue reached ¥10.784 billion, an increase of ¥1.046 billion (10.7%) compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.
• Operating profit was ¥407 million, and ordinary profit was ¥465 million, with ordinary profit showing a significant increase of ¥394 million (553.7%) year-over-year.
• Net profit attributable to owners of the parent company amounted to ¥379 million.
• The consolidated full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 and the annual dividend forecast (¥9.00 per share) remain unchanged from the most recently announced figures.

Azumaship’s Q1 results indicate a substantial improvement in operating revenue and all profit items compared to the prior year, with ordinary profit showing particular strength. This performance may be attributed to enhanced construction material transportation in the logistics segment and the successful operation of a new cement carrier in the marine transportation segment. As the full-year forecasts remain unchanged, the company’s future performance will be worth monitoring.

• OYO Corporation announced its financial results for the second quarter (interim period) of the fiscal year ending December 2026.
• Consolidated net sales amounted to ¥35.161 billion, representing a 4.5% decrease compared to the same period in the previous year.
• Consolidated operating profit was ¥1.950 billion, a 27.2% decrease year-on-year.
• Net profit attributable to owners of the parent for the interim period was ¥1.658 billion, down 36.2% from the prior year’s interim period.
• The consolidated full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending December 2026 remains unchanged from the announcement made on February 12, 2026.
• The interim dividend forecast is ¥55 per share, and the year-end dividend forecast is also ¥55, making the total annual dividend forecast ¥110.

OYO Corporation’s interim results for the fiscal year ending December 2026 show a significant decline in key profit metrics compared to the previous year. This performance appears to be influenced by factors such as reduced demand for detailed surveys in offshore wind power, timing shifts of large projects to the second half, and a tough comparison to the prior year’s high volume of disaster recovery work related to the Noto Peninsula Earthquake. However, the positive performance in the disaster prevention and infrastructure business, which saw increased sales and improved profitability, might indicate resilience in core domestic markets. With the full-year forecast maintained, investor attention may now turn to the company’s ability to achieve its targets in the latter half of the fiscal year.

• Chuo Seisakusho announced its unaudited non-consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026).
• Net sales for the first quarter totaled ¥1,039 million, representing a 12.4% increase compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.
• Operating profit reached ¥30 million (+597.0% YoY), ordinary profit ¥34 million (+250.1% YoY), and quarterly net profit ¥23 million (+158.6% YoY).
• Basic earnings per share for the quarter were ¥29.98.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027, and the annual dividend forecast (year-end ¥55.00, including ¥20.00 as a commemorative dividend), remain unchanged from the most recently announced figures.

Chuo Seisakusho reported significant year-over-year increases in both sales and profits for the first quarter. The substantial rise in operating profit, particularly, may suggest effective sales strategies and successful passing on of cost increases. However, with the full-year outlook remaining unchanged, investors may focus on how these trends develop in subsequent quarters and whether the company maintains its current trajectory.

• ADWAYS Inc. has announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter (interim period) of the fiscal year ending December 2026.
• For the interim period of FY2026, consolidated net sales were ¥6,324 million, representing a 7.1% increase compared to the prior interim period.
• Operating profit reached ¥956 million (compared to an operating loss of ¥23 million in the prior interim period), ordinary profit increased by 834.1% to ¥1,148 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥1,074 million (compared to a loss of ¥76 million in the prior interim period).
• Diluted earnings per share for the interim period were ¥27.49.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast has been revised, with net sales projected at ¥11,800 million (down 3.4% from previous forecast), operating profit at ¥1,500 million (up 404.7%), ordinary profit at ¥1,750 million (up 188.2%), and profit attributable to owners of parent at ¥1,500 million (up 493.1%).
• The year-end dividend forecast has been revised to ¥12.06 per share, comprising an ordinary dividend of ¥7.06 and a ¥5.00 commemorative dividend for the 20th anniversary of listing.

The significant turnaround from a loss to substantial profit growth in the second quarter of FY2026, particularly in operating, ordinary, and net profits, is a key highlight for investors. This performance appears to be driven by increased demand for the “UNICORN” marketing platform within the ad platform business and heightened advertising demand in the agency business. The upward revision of the full-year earnings forecast and the amended dividend forecast, which includes a commemorative dividend, could be interpreted as a positive signal regarding the company’s future outlook and confidence in its operational strategies.

• G-JINJIBU Co., Ltd. resolved its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 at a Board of Directors meeting held on August 12, 2026.
• The company has transitioned from non-consolidated to consolidated financial reporting starting from the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027.
• This transition follows the acquisition of shares in Jinjibu Career Co., Ltd. on April 1, 2026, making it a consolidated subsidiary.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 includes net sales of ¥4,187 million, operating income of ¥327 million, ordinary income of ¥322 million, profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥353 million, and earnings per share of ¥121.53.
• This consolidated forecast incorporates the business outlook of Jinjibu Career Co., Ltd. for the period from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027, and adjustments related to consolidation (e.g., amortization of goodwill) into the company’s previously announced non-consolidated forecast for the same period. The non-consolidated forecast will no longer be disclosed.

• The transition to consolidated financial statements and the disclosure of the first consolidated earnings forecast may indicate G-JINJIBU’s expanded operational scope and commitment to enhanced financial transparency.
• The integration of Jinjibu Career Co., Ltd. as a consolidated subsidiary is a key driver for this change, and its contribution to the overall consolidated performance will be a point for investors to monitor.
• This shift provides a more comprehensive view of the company’s total business activities, potentially allowing for a broader assessment of its financial health and future prospects.

• Nichikiso Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026).
• Consolidated net sales reached ¥6,814 million, marking a 3.0% increase year-on-year. Consolidated operating profit grew by 60.1% to ¥616 million.
• Consolidated ordinary profit was ¥780 million (up 84.5% year-on-year), and profit attributable to owners of parent increased by 126.6% to ¥650 million.
• The equity ratio improved to 65.0%, an increase of 0.9 percentage points from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year.
• The significant improvement in profit was attributed to the smooth progress of construction work for Train 4 (4th section) of the LNG refining plant base ground improvement project by the U.S. local subsidiary.

Nichikiso’s first quarter results indicate a strong start to the fiscal year, with substantial growth across all key profitability metrics. The significant contribution from the U.S. business, particularly the LNG-related projects, appears to be a primary driver of this performance. The improvement in the equity ratio also suggests a strengthening of the company’s financial position, which may be viewed positively by investors.

• Premium Water Holdings Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026).
• Revenue was ¥20,432 million, marking a 4.3% increase compared to the same period last year.
• Operating profit decreased by 4.6% year-on-year to ¥3,133 million.
• Profit attributable to owners of the parent company rose by 15.3% year-on-year to ¥2,174 million.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast remains unchanged, projecting revenue of ¥82,500 million (up 2.7% from the previous year), operating profit of ¥13,500 million (up 6.7%), and profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥9,000 million (up 6.5%).

Premium Water HD’s Q1 FY2027 results show solid growth in revenue and net profit attributable to owners of the parent, but a decline in operating profit. This suggests that while top-line expansion continues, cost pressures from rising raw material, supply, personnel, and sales promotion expenses are impacting profitability. Investors may monitor whether the company can mitigate these cost increases in subsequent quarters to align with its unchanged full-year guidance.

• For the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026), consolidated net sales reached ¥4,507 million, marking an 18.1% increase year-over-year.
• Operating profit for the same period was ¥829 million, a 132.6% increase, and ordinary profit was ¥755 million, a 157.9% increase year-over-year.
• Profit attributable to owners of parent for the quarter amounted to ¥501 million, representing a 145.0% increase from the prior year.
• The Real Estate business segment recorded sales of ¥2,782 million (up 31.6% YoY) and segment profit of ¥697 million (up 378.0% YoY), driving the overall revenue and profit growth.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 remains unchanged from the most recently published figures, projecting net sales of ¥17,500 million (up 3.6% YoY), operating profit of ¥1,750 million (up 14.1% YoY), ordinary profit of ¥1,500 million (up 10.3% YoY), and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥950 million (up 6.1% YoY).

Q-B One HD’s first quarter for fiscal year 2027 showed substantial profit growth across all key metrics, primarily driven by significant sales of properties in its Real Estate segment. The considerable increase in operating, ordinary, and net profits suggests a notable improvement in profitability. While some segments faced increased costs or losses, the strong performance of the core real estate business appears to have largely offset these challenges, contributing positively to the consolidated results.

• Takada Kiko Co., Ltd. announced its non-consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026).
• Net sales for the first quarter were ¥2,992 million, representing a 26.8% decrease compared to the same quarter of the previous year.
• The company reported an operating loss of ¥419 million, a widened deficit from the ¥93 million operating loss in the prior-year quarter. Ordinary loss was ¥313 million, and net loss for the quarter was ¥325 million.
• Loss per share for the quarter was ¥55.76.
• As of the end of the first quarter, total assets stood at ¥27,400 million, a decrease of ¥1,471 million from the previous fiscal year-end. Net assets were ¥20,529 million, with an equity ratio of 74.9%.
• The full-year earnings forecast and dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 remain unchanged from the most recently published figures.

Takada Kiko’s Q1 FY2027 results show a significant year-on-year decline in net sales and an expanded operating loss, which may suggest ongoing challenges in its bridge and steel structure businesses amid an adjustment phase in infrastructure and construction investment cycles. The company noted increased manufacturing costs and selling, general and administrative expenses as contributing factors. However, the report also mentioned achieving order targets in the steel structure business, indicating potential areas for recovery that investors may wish to monitor.

• Atrae Inc. has officially published its earnings presentation materials for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending September 2026.
• The document provides information on business progress and financial status up to the end of Q3 FY2026.
• The presentation primarily outlines the performance of various business segments and initiatives towards the fiscal year-end.
• Specific figures and detailed performance data are included within the full text of the released earnings presentation materials.

The release of the Q3 FY2026 earnings presentation materials provides investors with crucial data to assess Atrae’s recent operational status and financial health. Investors may particularly focus on the progress of key business segments and trends in profitability, as these factors could influence full-year performance expectations. Additionally, the report might offer insights into future growth strategies and responses to market dynamics, which could be worth monitoring.

• Matsuo Electric announced its unaudited non-consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026).
• Net sales for the first quarter increased by 9.7% year-on-year to 1,395 million yen.
• Operating profit decreased by 25.7% to 123 million yen, ordinary profit by 27.6% to 116 million yen, and net income for the quarter by 38.8% to 78 million yen.
• By segment, the tantalum capacitor business recorded sales of 879 million yen (up 7.2% year-on-year) and segment profit of 68 million yen (down 5.1%). The circuit protection device business recorded sales of 481 million yen (up 19.1% year-on-year) and segment profit of 182 million yen (down 5.1%).
• The full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 remains unchanged from the figures announced on May 14, 2026.

While Matsuo Electric reported a year-on-year increase in net sales for Q1 FY2027, the notable decline in various profit metrics, despite sales growth, suggests potential shifts in cost structures or operating expenses. Both key segments, tantalum capacitors and circuit protection devices, saw sales increases but a reduction in segment profits, which could indicate margin pressures. Given that the full-year forecast remains unchanged, investors may wish to monitor how the company addresses these profit trends in subsequent quarters.

• SHOBIDO Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending September 2026 (October 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026).
• Consolidated net sales reached ¥17,352 million (up 6.1% year-on-year), operating profit ¥1,613 million (up 35.4%), ordinary profit ¥1,544 million (up 32.9%), and profit attributable to owners of parent ¥926 million (up 13.9%).

• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast remains unchanged from the most recently published forecast, projecting net sales of ¥23,000 million (up 4.0% year-on-year), operating profit of ¥1,800 million (up 22.5%), ordinary profit of ¥1,730 million (up 17.0%), and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥1,050 million (up 7.4%).

SHOBIDO’s Q3 FY2026 results demonstrate strong growth across sales and all profit stages, significantly outperforming the previous year. This performance appears to be primarily driven by an increased proportion of higher-margin National Brand (NB) products, a shift towards high-value-added items, and the contribution from Picomonte Japan Co., Ltd., which joined the group in the previous fiscal year. However, slight declines in sales for certain cosmetic accessories and contact lens-related categories suggest shifts in the business portfolio that may be worth monitoring.

• Choei Co., Ltd. announced its Q1 FY2027 financial results for the period from April 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026.
• For Q1, net sales were 2,959 million JPY (up 16.5% year-on-year), operating profit was 770 million JPY (up 46.0%), ordinary profit was 622 million JPY (up 51.6%), and quarterly net profit was 416 million JPY (up 49.4%).
• The Real Estate Management segment reported sales of 1,175 million JPY (up 21.6% year-on-year) and operating profit of 242 million JPY (up 87.1%), driven by increased managed properties, higher brokerage transaction completions, and strong construction sales.
• The Real Estate Leasing segment recorded sales of 1,783 million JPY (up 13.3% year-on-year) and operating profit of 528 million JPY (up 32.6%), attributed to increased rental income from properties acquired in the previous fiscal year.
• The full-year earnings forecast for FY2027 remains unchanged from the forecast announced on May 13, 2026.

Choei’s Q1 FY2027 results show significant year-on-year increases across sales and profits, suggesting a strong start to the fiscal year. The growth appears to be primarily driven by increased managed properties and brokerage income in the Real Estate Management segment, along with contributions from existing properties in the Real Estate Leasing segment. Investors may monitor how these trends progress throughout the year, especially given that the full-year forecast has been maintained without revision.

robot home’s Q2 FY2026 results show substantial growth across all key profit metrics, with operating profit experiencing a more than four-fold increase compared to the previous year. This performance appears to be driven by robust growth in both the AI/IoT and robot home business segments. Investors may find it worthwhile to monitor the company’s progress toward its unchanged full-year earnings forecast.

• Nichiwa Sangyo announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026).
• Net sales amounted to 11,764 million yen, representing a 2.2% increase compared to the same period of the previous year.

• The consolidated full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 and the annual dividend forecast (year-end 6 yen, total 6 yen) remain unchanged from the most recently announced figures.

Nichiwa Sangyo’s Q1 FY2027 results show increased revenue and profits, with a significant year-on-year increase in profitability. This performance appears to be influenced by price increases implemented in April 2026 and profit growth across both the Feed and Livestock segments. As the full-year earnings forecast remains unchanged, investors may monitor how the company’s performance develops throughout the year.

• LIFULL Co., Ltd. has revised its consolidated earnings forecast for the full fiscal year ending September 2026 (upward revision).
• The revised consolidated figures are: Revenue of ¥29,300 million (down 1.4% from previous forecast), Operating Profit of ¥3,900 million (up 30.0%), and Profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥2,500 million (up 31.6%).
• While revenue from the core HOME’S-related business was revised upwards due to strong performance, a delay in sales plans for other new regional revitalization businesses is expected to result in a slight decrease in overall revenue compared to the initial forecast.
• The company stated that profit improvements were driven by the strong performance of the HOME’S-related business, coupled with cost reductions from in-house development through generative AI utilization and enhanced group synergies, leading to suppressed outsourcing expenses.
• The dividend forecast was also revised, with the year-end dividend increasing from ¥5.21 to ¥6.72 per share, based on the company’s policy of a 30% dividend payout ratio for profit attributable to owners of parent.

This upward revision of profit forecasts, despite a slight decrease in overall revenue, suggests a significant improvement in profitability driven by operational efficiency and cost management. The strong performance of the core “LIFULL HOME’S” related business, combined with the successful implementation of in-house initiatives leveraging generative AI, appears to be a key factor. This indicates progress in the company’s strategy to maintain profitability while continuing growth investments.

• Interspace Co., Ltd. announced its financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending September 2026 (October 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026).

• There were no revisions to the full-year consolidated performance forecast, which projects net sales of ¥9,800 million, operating income of ¥700 million, and net income attributable to parent of ¥420 million.

Interspace’s Q3 FY2026 results show significant growth across sales and profit metrics, particularly with a substantial increase in net income attributable to parent company shareholders, which may suggest improved profitability. The strong performance in the performance marketing segment and improved overseas operations appear to be key drivers. While the media segment faced some challenges, growth in paid services and a reduction in losses could indicate an improving trajectory worth monitoring.

• For the nine months ended June 30, 2026, consolidated net sales increased by 6.2% year-over-year to ¥15,337 million.
• Net income attributable to parent company for the quarter increased by 11.1% year-over-year to ¥410 million.

CSS Holdings’ Q3 FY2026 results show a notable increase in net sales and net income, despite operating and ordinary profits remaining flat or slightly decreased. The strong performance of the Steward business, driven by new facility openings and AI implementation for operational efficiency, appears to be a key driver. Conversely, the Food Service business experienced increased sales but a significant drop in operating profit, which may be attributed to rising food costs, increased personnel investments, and initial costs for new openings, indicating cost management as a focal point moving forward.

• For the fiscal year ended June 2026, consolidated net sales were ¥3,871 million, representing a 20.2% decrease from the previous fiscal year.
• Operating income was ¥275 million (compared to ¥-137 million in the prior year), ordinary income was ¥287 million (compared to ¥-129 million), and net income attributable to owners of parent was ¥212 million (compared to ¥-210 million), all turning profitable.
• Earnings per share reached ¥8.12, and the equity ratio stood at 89.2%.
• The year-end dividend was ¥10.00 per share, with total annual dividends amounting to ¥261 million (dividend payout ratio 123.2%). This compares to ¥5.00 per share for the previous year.
• For the fiscal year ending June 2027, the company forecasts consolidated net sales of ¥3,270 million (down 15.5% year-on-year), operating income of ¥300 million (up 8.8%), and net income attributable to owners of parent of ¥250 million (up 17.8%).

G-SOIKEN’s FY2026 results show a notable turnaround in profitability, with operating income, ordinary income, and net income all shifting from losses to profits, despite a decline in sales. This may suggest improved operational efficiency or cost management. The announced dividend increase could also signal management’s confidence and commitment to shareholder returns. While the sales forecast for the next fiscal year indicates a further decline, the projected increase in profits suggests a potential continued focus on optimizing business operations.

• Takara Holdings announced that the disclosure of its Q1 FY2027 financial results will exceed the 45-day post-quarter-end deadline.
• The delay is due to accounting irregularities identified by the company’s accounting auditor at its consolidated subsidiary, Takara Bio USA, Inc.
• The first notification from the auditor was received at 23:40 on August 6, followed by notification at 7:58 on August 7 that they could not express a conclusion on the interim review of the quarterly consolidated financial statements.
• The company urgently postponed its August 7 earnings announcement and is currently investigating the facts with legal and certified public accounting professionals.
• The revised earnings announcement date is currently undecided and will be promptly disclosed once determined.

This announcement indicates that Takara Holdings is facing an unexpected accounting issue, and investors may be monitoring the transparency of information and future developments closely. Given the disclosure of Takara Bio USA, Inc.’s sales figures for the past three years, which illustrate its business scale, the potential impact of the investigation’s findings on consolidated performance is a significant factor. The timeliness of future disclosures is likely to be a key focus for investors.

• Ootoya Holdings (2705) announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026).

Ootoya Holdings’ Q1 FY2027 results show significant year-on-year growth across all key financial indicators, suggesting a strong start to the fiscal year. The improvements in both domestic directly managed and franchise operations may indicate the effectiveness of recent menu renewals and promotional activities. Given the ongoing challenges in the restaurant industry, such as rising food and labor costs, the company’s ability to sustain this growth and manage costs will be worth monitoring.

• YAMAMI Co., Ltd. announced its non-consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026).

• Operating profit was ¥2,649 million (up 53.3%), ordinary profit was ¥2,673 million (up 54.7%), and net profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥1,921 million (up 27.9%).

• The annual dividend for FY2026 was ¥84.00 per share (¥48.00 at year-end), an increase from ¥72.00 in the previous fiscal year.
• For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, the company forecasts net sales of ¥26,500 million (up 14.0%), operating profit of ¥3,180 million (up 20.0%), net profit of ¥2,067 million (up 7.5%), and an annual dividend of ¥100.00 per share.

YAMAMI’s FY2026 results demonstrate robust growth across sales and all profit metrics, with operating profit notably surging over 50%. This performance is attributed to improvements in production processes, reduction in loss rates, and enhanced productivity. The forward-looking guidance for FY2027, including projected increases in both revenue and profit, coupled with a planned dividend increase, suggests a continued focus on business expansion and shareholder returns.

• MEDIARTH HOLDINGS Co., Ltd. announced corrections to its past financial statements (Kessan Tanshin).
• The corrections apply to the financial statements for the fiscal years ending June 2021, June 2022, June 2023, June 2024, and June 2025.
• The reason for the correction is an aggregation error found in the notes to segment information, specifically regarding the increase in tangible and intangible assets.
• The company stated that this correction has no impact on its consolidated or individual financial statements.
• Specific corrections involve numerical adjustments within the “Other items” section for “Increase in tangible and intangible assets” under “Segment Information, etc.” for each respective period, affecting adjustment amounts and figures reported in consolidated financial statements.

• Chimney Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026).
• Consolidated net sales were ¥6,647 million (up 4.4% year-on-year), operating profit was ¥96 million (up 5.0% year-on-year), and net profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥67 million (up 5.8% year-on-year).
• Consolidated ordinary profit decreased by 16.2% year-on-year to ¥95 million, primarily due to the recording of an ¥8 million loss on investments accounted for by the equity method.
• The consolidated full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 and the annual dividend forecast (¥3.00 at year-end, total ¥5.00) remain unchanged from the most recently announced figures.
• As of the end of the first quarter, the total number of stores was 455, comprising 210 directly managed stores, 90 contract stores, 127 FC stores, and 28 consolidated subsidiary stores.

Chimney’s first-quarter results show revenue and operating profit growth, while ordinary profit declined. This decrease in ordinary profit appears to be primarily driven by a shift from an equity method investment gain to a loss compared to the prior year. With the full-year outlook remaining unchanged, investors may focus on the company’s ability to manage costs and the effectiveness of its store strategies in the coming quarters.

• G-DMP reported revenue of ¥425 million for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, representing a 5.6% increase year-on-year.
• The company’s ordinary loss for the quarter was ¥116 million, an improvement from the ¥240 million loss in the same period last year.
• By business segment, Product business recorded ¥379 million (YoY +2%), and Professional Services recorded ¥23 million (YoY approximately 15 times). The IP Core License business reported ¥22 million (YoY △17%).
• In terms of sector sales, the Robotics & Safety sector achieved a significant increase, reaching ¥56 million (YoY +113%).
• The full-year forecast for FY2027 remains unchanged from the announcement on May 15, 2026, projecting revenue of ¥3,640 million and ordinary profit of ¥45 million.

G-DMP’s Q1 FY2027 results indicate revenue growth and a reduced loss, which may suggest that their FA business and contract development services are driving performance. The completion of development for the edge AI semiconductor “Di1” also appears to have contributed to cost reduction and improved profitability. The substantial growth in the Robotics & Safety sector could be seen as progress in a key focus area of the company’s mid-to-long-term growth strategy. With the full-year forecast maintained, the execution of their growth strategies will be worth monitoring.

• SoftMAX’s net sales for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026 reached ¥3,887 million, an increase of 1.1% compared to the same period in the previous year.
• During the same period, operating profit was ¥339 million (a 19.0% decrease year-on-year), ordinary profit was ¥366 million (a 16.7% decrease), and net profit for the interim period was ¥249 million (an 18.2% decrease).
• The company attributed the increase in sales and decrease in profits to steady demand for new installations and existing customer replacements, alongside concentrated investments in strengthening personnel and developing new functionalities.
• Order backlog increased significantly by 39.5% year-on-year to ¥3,632 million.
• The full-year forecast remains unchanged, projecting net sales of ¥7,800 million (a 12.6% increase year-on-year), operating profit of ¥800 million (an 8.0% increase), ordinary profit of ¥854 million (a 7.5% increase), and net profit of ¥580 million (a 1.3% increase).

While SoftMAX reported an increase in revenue for the interim period, profitability declined due to upfront investments. The robust demand for new installations and replacements, coupled with a significant rise in order backlog, may suggest a strong foundation for future revenue growth. Given that the full-year guidance remains unchanged, the realization of investment returns in the second half of the fiscal year could be a key area for investors to monitor.

• Broadleaf Co., Ltd. has announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter (interim period) of the fiscal year ending December 2026.
• For the interim period, revenue reached ¥10.781 billion, marking a 9.8% increase compared to the same period in the previous year.
• Operating profit was ¥1.477 billion, a 91.5% increase year-on-year. Profit attributable to owners of the parent surged by 140.3% to ¥1.001 billion.
• By service category, cloud service revenue increased by 29.7% year-on-year to ¥6.923 billion, while package system revenue decreased by 15.3% to ¥2.541 billion, and other revenue declined by 11.1% to ¥1.317 billion.
• The full-year consolidated performance forecast for December 2026 has been revised upwards, with revenue now projected at ¥23.8 billion (14.3% increase from previous forecast) and profit attributable to owners of the parent at ¥3.2 billion (158.0% increase).
• A two-for-one stock split of common shares was implemented on July 1, 2026, impacting per-share interim profit and year-end dividend forecasts.

Broadleaf’s Q2 results suggest that substantial growth in cloud service revenue significantly contributed to the overall increase in both revenue and profit. The smooth transition from package systems to cloud services appears to be a key driver for this shift in revenue structure and growth. The upward revision of the full-year earnings forecast could be interpreted as the company’s confidence in its future business trajectory, which investors may find noteworthy.

• Digital Information Technology Corporation (DIT) announced its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended June 2026.
• Net sales reached ¥25,546 million (up 5.7% year-on-year), and operating profit was ¥3,053 million (up 1.3% year-on-year).
• Ordinary profit stood at ¥3,076 million (up 1.6% year-on-year), while net profit attributable to parent company shareholders was ¥2,092 million (down 3.9% year-on-year).

DIT’s FY2026 consolidated results show growth in net sales, operating profit, and ordinary profit, while net profit attributable to parent shareholders decreased. This divergence may suggest an impact from changes in cost structure or tax effects. The FY2027 forecast indicates an expectation for both increased revenue and profit, making the company’s future business strategies and profit structure evolution points of interest for investors.

• Bbreak Systems Inc. has announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended June 2026.
• For FY2026, Net Sales were ¥1,387 million (up 0.7% year-on-year), Operating Profit was ¥125 million (up 13.6%), Ordinary Profit was ¥125 million (up 11.3%), and Net Profit was ¥102 million (up 11.3%).

Bbreak’s FY2026 results show an increase in both revenue and various profit metrics, achieving growth in sales and earnings. The double-digit growth in operating profit is noteworthy. The company’s forecast for FY2027 projects continued growth in both revenue and profit, which may suggest a sustained positive business trajectory.

• Plus Alpha Consulting Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending September 2026.

Plus Alpha Consulting’s strong growth in net sales and profits, particularly within its HR Solutions segment and SaaS-based services, may suggest sustained demand for its data visualization and operational efficiency solutions. The company’s strategy of focusing on enterprise clients and optimizing marketing spend appears to be contributing to improved profitability, which is a key area for investors to monitor. The stable full-year outlook, despite robust Q3 performance, could indicate a conservative stance or planned investments in the final quarter.

• UNICON Holdings Co., Ltd. reported consolidated revenue of ¥18,808 million for the fiscal year ended June 2026, marking a 6.7% increase year-on-year.

UNICON HD’s FY2026 results show a divergence with increased revenue but decreased operating, pre-tax, and attributable profits, which may suggest pressure on profit margins. However, the company’s FY2027 outlook indicates a positive reversal, forecasting growth across revenue and profits. Investors may consider monitoring whether the company can achieve these projected improvements.

The non-disclosure of the full-year forecast due to the upcoming delisting is also a notable point for investors to consider.

The unchanged full-year forecasts for both earnings and dividends may suggest management’s confidence in maintaining the current growth trajectory.

G-ZUU’s Q1 FY2027 results demonstrate significant revenue growth and a return to profitability across key earnings metrics, which may suggest a positive impact from previous structural reforms. The company’s segment name changes and the acquisition of a digital marketing consulting firm could indicate strategic shifts aimed at enhancing its business portfolio. Investors may find it worthwhile to monitor how these changes contribute to the full-year performance forecast and the overall business trajectory.

G-Logizard achieved revenue growth and increased net profit in FY2026, demonstrating continued expansion in its top line with double-digit growth. While operating and ordinary profits saw slight decreases, the rise in net profit suggests an improvement in overall profitability. The FY2027 forecast indicates continued revenue growth, but a projected decrease in net profit could reflect anticipated investments or increased operational costs.

• G-AIinside reported revenue of 1.19 billion yen for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, representing a 105.1% increase year-over-year.

G-AIinside’s Q1 FY2027 results indicate solid performance with revenue and operating profit growth, supported by robust key metrics. The substantial increase in operating profit may suggest the positive impact of reduced outsourcing costs through AI utilization within DX Suite. Furthermore, the active pursuit of new business strategies, including the launch of Leapnet, Sovereign Grid, and AI inside Cube Atlas 192x, highlights the company’s commitment to evolving its AI technology and vertically integrated business model, which could be worth monitoring as potential growth drivers.

• ImageONE’s net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 (October 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026) were ¥433 million, a 41.2% decrease compared to the same period last year.

• The financial position showed total assets of ¥1,591 million, net assets of ¥895 million, and an equity ratio of 54.0%.

ImageONE’s Q3 FY2026 results show a significant year-over-year decline in net sales and a widening of losses across all profit stages, which warrants investor attention. The underperformance in both the Healthcare Solution and Global Environment Solution segments, attributed to the absence of large-scale projects compared to the previous year, suggests a dependency on specific contract sizes. The downward revision of the full-year outlook indicates potential challenges in the company’s operational trajectory moving forward.

• Katakura Industries has announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter (interim period) of the fiscal year ending December 2026, covering January 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026.

• The annual dividend forecast remains unchanged at ¥60.00, with no revisions from the latest public announcement.

Katakura Industries’ Q2 FY2026 results show a significant increase in net income attributable to parent shareholders. This substantial growth appears to be driven by increased revenues in the real estate and pharmaceutical segments, coupled with gains from the sale of investment securities. The revision of the full-year forecast, particularly the substantial increase in projected net income, suggests potential shifts in strategic focus or business outlook that investors may find worth monitoring.

• Nihon Seima Co., Ltd. announced its non-consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026).

As this is the first non-consolidated quarterly report following the transition from consolidated results in Q1 FY2026, no year-on-year comparisons are provided. The company reported ¥673 million in sales and ¥10 million in net income under the current economic climate, with the performance of its individual business segments (food, industrial materials, and mats) potentially influencing future results. With the full-year forecast unchanged, progress in subsequent quarters will be worth monitoring.

• Net loss attributable to owners of parent was ¥14 million (compared to a profit of ¥60 million in the prior year period).
• While the PIXTA business experienced a decline in revenue, it secured a segment operating profit of ¥144 million and is transitioning to a phase of maintaining cash generation through cost reduction.
• “Other businesses” (focused on new ventures) achieved nearly a threefold increase in sales year-on-year, leading to an increase in the proportion of the photography and creative experience business within the overall revenue mix from 21.7% to 27.7%.

While consolidated results show a decrease in revenue and profit, it is noteworthy that Pixta is strategically investing in new businesses while addressing structural changes in its core PIXTA business. The growth in “Other businesses” suggests an evolution in the company’s business portfolio from content sales to photography and experience-based services. The reallocation of cash generated from existing businesses to growth areas could indicate a proactive approach to future business transformation, which is worth monitoring for investors.

• Thermae-Yu Holdings Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027.
• Net sales totaled ¥754,945 thousand, representing a 53.6% increase compared to the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.
• Operating income was ¥69,575 thousand (up 3.3% YoY), and ordinary income was ¥70,914 thousand (up 5.7% YoY).
• Net income attributable to parent company shareholders increased by 51.4% YoY to ¥36,242 thousand.
• Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were ¥1.37.
• The hot bath business recorded net sales of ¥510,712 thousand (up 6.5% YoY) and operating income of ¥137,959 thousand (up 21.5% YoY). The Shinjuku store saw a 4.9% increase in visitors, while the Nishi-Azabu store experienced a 1.6% decrease.
• The real estate business reported net sales of ¥9,646 thousand (down 17.7% YoY) and operating income of ¥274 thousand (down 93.6% YoY).
• The food business generated net sales of ¥234,586 thousand but incurred an operating loss of ¥5,829 thousand.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast remains unchanged from the announcement made on June 2, 2026.

The significant increase in net sales and net income for the quarter suggests a strong overall performance, primarily driven by robust growth in the hot bath business. The hot bath segment’s solid revenue and operating income growth may indicate effective strategies for customer attraction, despite a slight decline in visitor numbers at one location. The decline in real estate segment’s revenue and profit, alongside an operating loss in the food business due to initial investment, indicates shifting contributions from different business segments to the overall profitability, which may be worth monitoring for future financial stability.

• G-ICUBED Systems Inc. announced its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.
• For the fiscal year 2026, consolidated net sales were ¥4,440 million (up 18.4% year-on-year), operating income was ¥1,170 million (up 29.3%), ordinary income was ¥1,155 million (up 31.7%), and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥730 million (up 30.7%).
• The annual dividend per share was ¥38 (interim dividend of ¥18, year-end dividend of ¥20, including a ¥2 commemorative dividend), compared to ¥34 in the previous fiscal year.
• The consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, projects net sales of ¥5,001 million (up 12.6% year-on-year), operating income of ¥1,291 million (up 10.3%), ordinary income of ¥1,279 million (up 10.7%), and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥794 million (up 8.8%).
• The CLOMO business contributed to the results through expanded usage by existing customers and migration demand to “Anshin Manager NEXT” following the discontinuation of NTT Docomo’s MDM service “Anshin Manager.”

G-ICUBED’s fiscal year 2026 results show significant double-digit growth across revenue and all profit metrics, driven by the expansion of its CLOMO business and specific migration demands. The company’s forecast for FY2027 anticipates continued growth in both revenue and profit, which may suggest a positive outlook for its core business segments. Investors might consider monitoring the execution of these growth strategies and the impact of the ongoing service transitions.

• P-VALUE SOFT announced its consolidated interim financial results for the fiscal year ending December 2026 (January 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026).
• Consolidated net sales amounted to ¥771 million, representing a 10.8% increase compared to the previous corresponding interim period.
• Consolidated operating profit was ¥23 million (down 27.6% year-on-year), consolidated ordinary profit was ¥28 million (down 30.7% year-on-year), and net profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥18 million (down 33.1% year-on-year).
• Interim net income per share was ¥185.74.
• The full-year consolidated performance forecast for FY2026 remains unchanged: net sales of ¥1,582 million (up 8.8% YoY), operating profit of ¥76 million (up 15.6% YoY), ordinary profit of ¥86 million (up 9.0% YoY), net profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥56 million (down 1.9% YoY), and net income per share of ¥569.61.
• The company forecasts a year-end dividend of ¥17.09 for FY2026, totaling ¥17.09 for the full year.

While revenue increased in the interim period, all profit metrics saw a decline. This could indicate the impact of increased cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses. The company’s decision to maintain its full-year forecast suggests an expectation for profit recovery in the second half, which warrants monitoring by investors.

• For the first quarter of FY2027 (April 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026), G-JPHARMA reported no operating revenue.
• During the same period, the company recorded an operating loss of ¥570 million, an ordinary loss of ¥564 million, and a net loss of ¥561 million for the quarter.
• Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were △31.22 yen.
• The global Phase 3 clinical trial (Beacon-BTC study) for the lead pipeline “Nanbranlat” commenced in December 2025 and is progressing on schedule, with 15 sites launched in the U.S. as of August 2026.
• The Phase 1 clinical trial for the pipeline “JPH034” began in the U.S. on March 22, 2026, and is also progressing on schedule as of August 2026.

As a drug discovery venture, G-JPHARMA’s Q1 FY2027 results reflect the typical financial profile of a company in the R&D phase, with no operating revenue and continued losses. However, the steady progress of clinical trials for its key pipelines, Nanbranlat and JPH034, is a crucial indicator for future growth. The decline in cash and deposits suggests ongoing investment into these research and development activities, which is a common characteristic for companies in this industry stage.

• For the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026), G-STG reported net sales of 1,843 million yen, a year-on-year increase of 301 million yen (19.5%).
• Operating profit for the same period was 51 million yen, representing a decrease of 62 million yen (54.6%) compared to the previous year.
• Ordinary profit was 11 million yen and net profit attributable to parent company shareholders was 1 million yen, showing decreases of 92.1% and 98.7% respectively year-on-year.
• The increase in net sales was primarily attributed to the effects of the E-Cast acquisition in the previous fiscal year, leading to increased sales in the Malaysia business, and strong performance in the China business.
• The decline in profit was mainly due to sluggish sales of automobile-related components in domestic and Thailand businesses, increased personnel expenses, and increased depreciation and amortization expenses associated with M&A (including 11 million yen for goodwill amortization).
• Against the full-year FY2027 consolidated earnings forecast, the Q1 progress rates are 24.3% for net sales, 10.3% for operating profit, and 0.6% for net profit attributable to parent company shareholders.

G-STG’s Q1 FY2027 results indicate that while overseas business expansion drove sales growth, underperformance in existing businesses and rising costs put pressure on profits. The continued sluggishness in automobile-related components and the stated strategy to shift weight to other components could be a key area for investors to monitor regarding future business structure changes. Although profit progress rates against the full-year forecast are low, the company’s explanation that these results are largely factored into the forecast due to timing differences in overseas subsidiary reporting cycles may be a crucial consideration for investors evaluating future earnings releases.

• G-HOPE, Inc. announced its supplementary explanatory material for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 on August 12, 2026.
• For Q1 FY27/3 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026), operating profit (before goodwill amortization and other deductions) was -90 million yen.
• Total sales for the same period were 687 million yen, representing a 3.9% decrease year-over-year.
• There are no changes to the half-year and full-year earnings forecasts (sales of 3,880 million yen, operating profit (pre-goodwill) of 446 million yen) announced on May 14, 2026.
• Effective from this first quarter, the company’s reporting segments have been revised from two to three, with the Corporate Hometown Tax Donation Business now disclosed as an independent reporting segment.

G-HOPE’s first-quarter operating profit recorded a deficit, yet the company maintains its half-year and full-year forecasts, which may suggest a belief in recovery or stronger performance in subsequent quarters. The change in reporting segments, isolating the Corporate Hometown Tax Donation Business, could indicate a growing strategic focus on this area. This reclassification may offer investors greater transparency into the performance and strategic importance of individual business units.

• Tokyo Tsushin Group Co., Ltd. announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter (interim period) of the fiscal year ending December 2026.
• Net sales reached ¥3,798 million, marking a 19.6% increase compared to the previous interim period.
• Operating profit was ¥234 million, an increase of 66.8% year-on-year for the interim period.
• Net income attributable to owners of parent was ¥135 million, representing a significant 196.2% increase from the prior interim period.
• Two new companies, T-PRO Co., Ltd. and iFYOU Co., Ltd., were included in the scope of consolidation for this interim period.
• The segment categories were revised from two to three: “Media Business,” “Platform Business,” and “Fan Business.”

The reported results indicate robust performance across revenue and profit metrics, with a notable surge in net income attributable to owners of parent. The Media business appears to be a key driver of sales growth, complemented by double-digit profit increases across all segments, suggesting the company’s diversified business model and individual segment strengths are contributing to overall performance. The inclusion of new consolidated subsidiaries and changes in segment classification could also influence future business development and revenue structure.

• DAIIICHI Co., Ltd. has announced its unaudited non-consolidated financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending September 2026 (October 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026).
• For the cumulative third quarter, net sales reached ¥46.44 billion (up 6.8% year-on-year), operating profit was ¥1.32 billion (up 27.4%), ordinary profit was ¥1.30 billion (up 26.8%), and net income for the quarter was ¥0.88 billion (up 6.1%).
• Sales in the Sapporo block showed the highest growth, increasing by 13.7% to ¥17.92 billion.
• The gross profit margin improved by 0.1 percentage points year-on-year to 25.5%, while the selling, general and administrative expenses ratio to net sales decreased by 0.4 percentage points to 23.6%.
• The full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending September 2026 remains unchanged, with projected net sales of ¥61.50 billion, operating profit of ¥1.68 billion, ordinary profit of ¥1.63 billion, and net income of ¥1.20 billion.

DAIIICHI’s third-quarter cumulative results showed an increase in both sales and profits compared to the prior year, with newly opened stores playing a significant role in driving sales growth. The improvement in gross profit margin and the decrease in the SG&A expense ratio to sales could indicate enhanced operational efficiency. The unchanged full-year forecast may suggest that the company considers the current progress to be in line with its expectations.

• VIA HOLDINGS resolved to revise upward its consolidated financial forecasts for the second quarter and full fiscal year ending March 2027, as announced at the Board of Directors meeting on August 12, 2026.
• For the Q2 of FY2027, operating income is revised up by 70 million yen (53.8%) from 130 million yen to 200 million yen. Ordinary income is revised up by 80 million yen (114.3%) from 70 million yen to 150 million yen. Net income attributable to owners of the parent is revised up by 80 million yen from △50 million yen to 30 million yen, turning profitable.
• For the full FY2027, operating income is revised up by 70 million yen (23.3%) from 300 million yen to 370 million yen. Ordinary income is revised up by 80 million yen (44.4%) from 180 million yen to 260 million yen. Net income attributable to owners of the parent is revised up by 80 million yen from △50 million yen to 30 million yen, turning profitable.
• Net sales are revised down by △50 million yen (△0.6%) for Q2 and △100 million yen (△0.6%) for the full year.
• The revisions are attributed to improved selling, general and administrative expenses, including personnel and operating costs, better than initially expected in Q1, and the projected recognition of extraordinary gains and losses due to progress in discussions and adjustments for optimizing the group’s bases.

VIA HOLDINGS’ upward revision to its earnings forecast, despite a slight decrease in net sales, highlights the impact of its “redesign of revenue structure model” efforts, particularly through improved store operations and cost optimization, on profitability. The projected shift to profitability for net income attributable to owners of the parent for both the interim and full fiscal year could indicate that the company’s initiatives to enhance profitability are yielding results. The potential for fluctuations in the timing and amounts of extraordinary gains and losses is worth monitoring in future updates.

• Fintech Global Inc. announced its consolidated financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending September 2026 (period: October 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026).
• Net sales reached ¥12,948 million, marking a 25.0% increase compared to the same period in the previous year.
• Operating profit was ¥4,076 million (up 42.4% year-on-year), and ordinary profit was ¥3,871 million (up 38.9% year-on-year).
• Profit attributable to owners of parent significantly increased by 177.7% year-on-year to ¥4,437 million, primarily due to a gain on sale of fixed assets of ¥1,556 million following the partial transfer of Moomin Monogatari Co., Ltd. shares.
• The full-year consolidated performance forecast remains unchanged, projecting net sales of ¥15,500 million (up 7.4% from the previous fiscal year) and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥4,600 million (up 116.8% from the previous fiscal year).
• During this consolidated cumulative quarter, Fintech Global Trust Co., Ltd. was newly added to the scope of consolidation, while Moomin Monogatari Co., Ltd., Hanno Chiiki Shigen Rikatsuyo G.K., and Metsa No. 2 Investment Business Limited Liability Partnership were excluded.

Fintech Global’s substantial revenue and profit growth in the third quarter may suggest successful PE investment recovery and increased fund formation and product sales in its truck operating lease business. The significant surge in profit attributable to owners of parent appears largely influenced by a one-time gain on sale of fixed assets due to changes in the scope of consolidation. Investors might want to focus on the company’s core business profitability excluding such one-off gains, and its progress towards achieving the full-year forecast in the remaining period.

• P-GOKENDO HD reported consolidated net sales of ¥5,802 million (up 9.6% YoY), operating profit of ¥490 million (up 21.3% YoY), ordinary profit of ¥498 million (up 16.5% YoY), and net profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥293 million (up 21.6% YoY) for the first half of the fiscal year ending December 2026 (January 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026).
• The Comprehensive Logistics Management segment recorded net sales of ¥4,802 million (up 11.1% YoY) and segment profit of ¥406 million (up 21.0% YoY), driven by the full operation of the 8th Logistics Center from February 2026 and the new oil business.
• The Food & Service segment achieved net sales of ¥1,000 million (up 2.8% YoY) and segment profit of ¥78 million (up 17.5% YoY), attributed to price revisions in the Komeda Coffee division in 2025 and an increase in BOSS CLUB members.
• As of the end of the interim period, total assets stood at ¥13,502 million, net assets at ¥4,560 million, and the equity ratio at 33.8%.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending December 2026 remains unchanged, projecting net sales of ¥11,935 million (up 8.8% YoY), operating profit of ¥976 million (up 16.8% YoY), and net profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥569 million (down 13.5% YoY). The year-end dividend forecast is currently undetermined.

The interim results show robust growth in both revenue and profits, attributed largely to the full operation of the new logistics center and the successful launch of the new oil business. This performance suggests the company’s efforts in improving operational efficiency and cost control have been effective in a challenging transportation industry environment. The unchanged full-year forecast indicates that management may consider the current progress to be in line with their initial expectations, a point investors may find noteworthy.

• Sunwels Co., Ltd. announced its non-consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026).
• Revenue for the quarter was ¥7,298 million, marking a 10.5% increase compared to the same period in the previous year.
• The company reported an operating loss of ¥347 million, an ordinary loss of ¥519 million, and a net loss for the quarter of ¥557 million. (For reference, the previous year’s Q1 also showed losses of ¥507 million, ¥687 million, and ¥725 million, respectively).
• Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were △¥17.17.
• The full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 remains unchanged from the announcement made on May 12, 2026.
• The company stated that the introduction of the comprehensive home-visit nursing system under the FY2026 medical fee revision has altered the compensation structure for its home-visit nursing services, leading to a certain downward pressure on profitability.

Sunwels’ Q1 results show revenue growth but continued losses. This could be attributed to changes in the business environment following the FY2026 medical fee revision and the ongoing business structural reforms aimed at adapting to these changes, which are temporarily impacting profitability. The company’s decision to temporarily suspend new “PD House” facility openings and its efforts to restructure for compliance with the comprehensive home-visit nursing system are key factors to monitor for potential future profitability improvements.

• For the first quarter of FY2027 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026), FT Group reported consolidated revenue of ¥6,892 million, a 10.0% decrease compared to the same period of the previous year.

This disclosure provides the latest financial performance of FT Group, now a fully consolidated subsidiary of Hikari Tsushin, indicating its future impact on Hikari Tsushin’s consolidated results. While the Network Infrastructure business experienced a decline in both revenue and profit, the Corporate Solutions business demonstrated growth, which may suggest a shift in business portfolio dynamics or resilience in specific segments. As FT Group’s shares have been delisted, no forecasts for performance or dividends are provided, making future updates from Hikari Tsushin regarding FT Group’s integration and performance noteworthy for investors.

• Valor Holdings Co., Ltd. announced a partial correction to its “Consolidated Financial Results for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2027 [Japanese GAAP]” originally disclosed on August 7, 2026.
• The reason for the correction is an error in certain parts of the descriptions in the attached materials, specifically “1. Overview of Business Results (1) Overview of Business Results for the Consolidated First Quarter” and “3. Notes to Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements (Segment Information, etc.).”
• The summary information, quarterly consolidated balance sheet, quarterly consolidated statement of income, and quarterly consolidated statement of comprehensive income figures remain unchanged.
• Due to numerous correction points, the full corrected text is attached, with corrected sections underlined.

This correction primarily addresses descriptive content within the financial report, with no changes to the core financial figures, which may be a point of reassurance for investors. However, as the detailed overview of business results and segment information were corrected, a thorough review of the revised information is warranted for a comprehensive understanding of the company’s performance by business segment. The focus will likely be on verifying the updated qualitative information.

• Microwave Chemical Co., Ltd. announced its non-consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended June 2026 on August 12, 2026.
• For the fiscal year ended June 2026, net sales were ¥1,057 million, operating loss was ¥△927 million, ordinary loss was ¥△948 million, and net loss was ¥△964 million.
• The fiscal year ended June 2026 covered an irregular 15-month period from April 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, due to a partial amendment to the articles of incorporation approved at the 18th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on June 25, 2025.

• For the fiscal year ending June 2027, the company forecasts net sales of ¥1,512 million, operating income of ¥50 million, ordinary income of ¥23 million, net income of ¥4 million, and earnings per share of ¥0.25.

Microwave Chemical’s FY2026/6 results represent an irregular 15-month period due to a change in the fiscal year end, making direct comparisons to the previous period challenging. The company reported an operating, ordinary, and net loss, which may suggest ongoing investments in research and development and business expansion. The forecast for FY2027/6 projects a return to profitability, indicating the company’s expectation for future operational improvements and successful project commercialization, which will be worth monitoring for investors.

• Raks announced on August 12, 2026, its decision to enter into a capital and business alliance agreement with ROBOT PAYMENT (RP).
• The business alliance includes OEM development of RP’s “Seikyu Kanri Robo” (to be rebranded as “Rakuraku Saiken Kanri”), mutual support for sales activities, customer referrals, and promotional activities via webinars.

• RP’s financial performance for the fiscal year ended December 2025 shows net sales of ¥3,256,436 thousand, operating income of ¥774,392 thousand, and net income of ¥542,126 thousand.

This capital and business alliance appears to be aimed at strengthening Raks’ customer base in the corporate cloud service market and enhancing the value of its offerings. The integration of RP’s billing and accounts receivable management cloud services with its robust payment infrastructure could lead to deeper market penetration and broader solution provision for customers of both companies. The OEM development of the new product, “Rakuraku Saiken Kanri,” may be a key focus for investors seeking tangible outcomes from this synergy.

• G-MEEQ announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026).
• For the quarter, consolidated net sales were ¥1,864 million, operating profit was ¥381 million, ordinary profit was ¥384 million, and net income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥246 million.
• Basic earnings per share were ¥21.51, and diluted earnings per share were ¥18.86.
• As of the end of the quarter, total assets stood at ¥7,960 million, net assets at ¥6,371 million, and the equity ratio at 77.3%.
• Year-on-year comparisons for the first quarter were not provided, as the company did not prepare consolidated quarterly financial statements for the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 2026.

G-MEEQ’s Q1 FY2027 results show solid financial figures with net sales of ¥1.86 billion and positive profits across the board. While direct year-over-year comparisons are unavailable, the company’s business overview highlights favorable progress in its IoT/DX platform services and MVNE services, which could contribute to future revenue stability and predictability. The full-year earnings forecast remains unchanged, suggesting that investors may want to monitor subsequent quarterly reports for progress against annual targets.

• Taiyo Bussan Co., Ltd. announced its Q3 FY2026 financial results (October 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026).
• For the cumulative period, net sales were JPY 14,911 million (up 6.1% year-on-year), operating profit JPY 223 million (up 16.4%), ordinary profit JPY 145 million (up 7.6%), and quarterly net profit JPY 119 million (up 3.3%).
• By segment, the Food segment reported net sales of JPY 9,112 million (up 45.1%) and segment profit of JPY 244 million (up 40.2%).
• Conversely, the Agricultural Products, China Development, and Lifestyle Industries segments experienced year-on-year decreases in sales and profit, or incurred losses.
• The full-year business forecast remains unchanged from the forecast published on November 14, 2025.

Taiyo Bussan’s Q3 FY2026 results show an increase in sales and profits across all stages, with the Food segment appearing to be a significant driver of this performance. The success in new imported chicken sales and the expansion of high-margin Thai processed food items likely contributed to this growth. However, challenges in the agricultural products, China-related trade, and imported pork businesses suggest ongoing complexities within certain market segments, which could be worth monitoring.

• G-Kinjiro’s consolidated financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026 show net sales of ¥2,791 million, an increase of 7.4% year-on-year.
• Operating profit was ¥706 million (down 3.9% YoY), ordinary profit was ¥701 million (down 3.9% YoY), and net income attributable to owners of parent was ¥454 million (down 5.3% YoY).
• Sales for the Cloud business within the HRM segment were ¥2,221 million (up 17.8% YoY), with cloud license sales amounting to ¥1,843 million (up 26.7% YoY).
• The recurring revenue ratio (proportion of stock-type revenue) increased by 7.3 percentage points from 68.8% in the same period last year to 76.1%.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast remains unchanged, projecting net sales of ¥6,000 million (up 11.7% from previous year), operating profit of ¥1,601 million (up 5.2%), ordinary profit of ¥1,609 million (up 5.5%), and net income attributable to owners of parent of ¥1,050 million (up 3.6%).

G-Kinjiro’s Q2 FY2026 results indicate top-line growth driven by the strong performance of its cloud business, while profits saw a modest decline year-on-year. The increasing recurring revenue ratio suggests a strategic shift towards a more stable revenue model, as customers transition from on-premise to cloud solutions. This structural change and commitment to cloud services could be key factors for investors to monitor regarding the company’s long-term stability and growth trajectory.

• AI Storm Co., Ltd. announced on August 12, 2026, a delay in the release of its Q2 FY2026 financial results.
• The Q2 financial results, originally scheduled for August 14, 2026, are now expected to be released on November 13, 2026.
• The company also resolved to consider applying for an extension of the submission deadline for its 63rd (FY2026) Semi-Annual Report.
• The delay is attributed to the ongoing special investigation, initiated on May 15, 2026, which has revealed the need for accounting revisions spanning three fiscal years, from FY2023 to FY2025.
• The company states that the impact of this matter on its FY2026 performance is currently being evaluated, and further disclosures will be made promptly if necessary.

This announcement indicates that the ongoing special investigation and the identified need for prior period accounting adjustments are directly impacting the company’s immediate financial reporting schedule. The decision to delay the Q2 results and consider an extension for the semi-annual report likely stems from the inability to complete these procedures and obtain an auditor’s review report by the statutory deadline. Investors may want to monitor the outcome of the special investigation and the subsequent impact of accounting revisions on the company’s financial statements.

• Abalance Co. announced the revised disclosure outlook for its past annual securities reports, semi-annual reports, and financial results.
• The company expects to disclose these amended reports by August 21, 2026.
• The previously undisclosed Q3 FY2026 and FY2026 financial results are also scheduled for release on the same date, August 21, 2026.
• The Q1 FY2027 financial results will not be disclosed within 45 days after the quarter-end.
• The Q1 FY2027 financial results are now expected to be released around early October 2026.
• The delay in Q1 FY2027 results is attributed to prioritizing the amendment of past reports and the preparation/disclosure of Q3 FY22026 and full-year FY2026 results.

This announcement from Abalance provides updated clarity on the timeline for rectifying past financial disclosures and releasing pending earnings. While the expected disclosure of amended reports and FY2026 results by August 21 offers some resolution, the further delay in Q1 FY2027 results could suggest ongoing complexities in their financial reporting processes. Investors may wish to monitor the company’s progress and the content of the forthcoming disclosures carefully.

• G-Sapeet announced a change in the release date for its Q3 FY2026 financial results.
• The original scheduled release date was Wednesday, August 12, 2026.
• The revised release date is now scheduled for Thursday, August 13, 2026.
• The reason for the change is attributed to the need for additional time to finalize certain disclosure information to be included in the Q3 FY2026 earnings report.
• The company stated that this matter is not related to the appropriateness of its accounting processes or issues concerning the finalization of financial figures.
• The revised release date will still be within 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter, as requested by the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

A delay in earnings announcements typically draws investor attention. In this instance, the company has provided a specific reason for the change, citing the final confirmation of disclosure information, which may help mitigate concerns. Furthermore, the explicit statement that the delay is not due to issues with accounting propriety or financial figure finalization could be a point of reassurance for investors. The adherence to the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s 45-day deadline for reporting also suggests the company is managing the process within regulatory expectations.
