Japan Stock IR Daily – August 17, 2026 (34 reports)

• For the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 191.4% year-on-year, and Adjusted Net Income increased by 183.7% year-on-year.
• The strong performance is primarily attributed to multiple high-performing group companies and the full-year contribution from seven companies acquired in the fiscal year ending December 2025.
• The FY2026 guidance (projected full-year results) is Sales of 23.0 billion yen, Adjusted EBITDA of 4.0 billion yen, and Adjusted Net Income of 2.0 billion yen. These figures do not include the impact of new acquisitions in 2026, specifically Horikoshi Seiki, Osaki Dengyosha, and Sanko Giken Kogyo.
• While the Adjusted EBITDA progress rate against guidance is 74.8%, no revision to the earnings forecast has been made at the current time.
• The company’s acquisition strategy focuses on niche businesses with high market share, emphasizing business diversification to avoid over-reliance on specific industries, and specializing in manufacturing and manufacturing-related businesses.
• Regarding interest rate hikes and the Middle East situation, the company reports favorable funding conditions from financial institutions, and due to the high profitability of acquired companies and the ability to pass on sales price increases, no significant issues have materialized.
• Financial health is managed with a consolidated financial leverage (Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA) of 1.33x, indicating ample borrowing capacity compared to the targeted appropriate level of 3-4x.

G-Technology Succession Organization’s Q&A for the second quarter of FY2026 provides investors with insights into robust performance and future business strategies. The fact that the full-year guidance excludes the impact of new acquisitions in 2026 may suggest potential for upside revisions. Furthermore, the favorable funding environment and manageable financial leverage for its continuous M&A strategy are points worth monitoring when evaluating the sustainability of the company’s growth drivers.

• RS Technologies Co., Ltd. released the transcript of its Q2 FY2026 earnings briefing on August 17, 2026.
• The briefing was held on August 14, 2026, with presentations by Representative Director and President Yongyee Fang, Director and Senior Executive Officer Satoshi Endo, and Head of Finance and Accounting Department Masato Kawaji.
• For the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026, consolidated net sales were ¥40.595 billion (up 6.8% year-on-year), operating profit was ¥7.735 billion (up 8.9%), ordinary profit was ¥9.016 billion (up 26.0%), and net income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥4.149 billion (up 9.2%).
• Net sales and all profit stages reached record highs for a semi-annual period.
• By segment, net sales for the Wafer Regeneration Business were ¥14.284 billion (up 6.8% year-on-year) with an operating profit of ¥5.069 billion (up 6.9%), and net sales for the Prime Wafer Business were ¥13.902 billion (up 39.0%) with an operating profit of ¥3.240 billion (up 39.1%).

• G-BREACH Inc. announced on August 17, 2026, a partial correction to its “Consolidated Financial Results Briefing for the Fiscal Year Ended June 2026.”
• This correction pertains to the document originally released on August 14, 2026.
• The corrections include five specific items: ① addition of a table of contents page, ② change in page order, ③ addition of footnotes, ④ correction of titles, and ⑤ addition of units.
• The reason for the correction is stated as “some inaccuracies were found in the content.”
• It is important to note that there are no changes to the numerical data as a result of this correction.

This announcement concerns a formal correction to the previously released financial results briefing material, with no alterations to the underlying financial figures. This action may be viewed as an effort to ensure the accuracy and clarity of information provided to stakeholders. Investors may consider that referencing the corrected document will provide a more precise understanding of the company’s fiscal year performance.

• GENDA Inc. has decided to increase its “Shareholder Benefit Points” by 1.5 times under its shareholder benefit program.
• The revised points are 6,000 points annually (3,000 points twice a year) for shareholders holding 100-299 shares, 18,000 points annually (9,000 points twice a year) for 300-499 shares, and 30,000 points annually (15,000 points twice a year) for 500 or more shares.
• The revised shareholder benefit program will be applied starting from the points granted on May 1, 2027.
• Eligible shareholders are those recorded in the company’s shareholder registry as of January 31, 2027, holding 1 unit (100 shares) or more, and continuously holding shares for six months or longer (i.e., recorded with the same shareholder number for 1 unit or more on July 31, 2026, and January 31, 2027).
• Granted points can be exchanged for coupons usable at “GiGO Group stores” in Japan (limited to crane games, max 1,000 points/day), “Karaoke BanBan” coupons, and various products (e.g., Kleiner Feigling, DANZKA, Hill Valley Popcorn, Lemonade by Lemonica).

This enhancement of the shareholder benefit program appears to aim at expressing gratitude to existing shareholders, deepening their understanding of the company’s business, and fostering long-term relationships with “fan shareholders” by increasing opportunities to experience the company’s diverse services. The increased point value, coupled with eligibility criteria favoring continuous shareholding, may indicate a strategy to encourage long-term investment. The use of points within the company’s entertainment services could also contribute to brand loyalty and market penetration.

• Advance Create Co., Ltd. announced on August 17, 2026, a partial correction to its “Consolidated Financial Results for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending September 2025 (Japanese GAAP).”
• The correction is related to the “Notice Regarding Submission of Amended Reports for Past Securities Reports and Correction of Past Financial Results” dated August 14, 2026.
• The correction includes numerical data, and the revised data has been submitted.
• Due to the large number of corrections, only the corrected figures are provided.
• The corrected consolidated financial results for Q1 FY2025 show Sales of 1,479 million yen, Operating Loss of 374 million yen, Ordinary Loss of 441 million yen, and Net Loss attributable to owners of parent of 721 million yen.

This correction stems from amendments to past securities reports, indicating that previously disclosed information has been retrospectively revised. Investors may need to carefully review how these corrected financial figures impact the company’s financial standing and historical performance evaluations. Understanding the specific changes in the financial data will be crucial for a comprehensive analysis.

• Geolocation Technology Inc. announced on August 17, 2026, a “Correction to a portion of the ‘Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended June 2026 (Non-consolidated)'”.
• This correction addresses an error found in the “Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended June 2026 (Non-consolidated)” which was originally disclosed on August 14, 2026.
• The reason for the correction is identified as an error in the stated dividend payment commencement date within the financial results.
• Before correction: The dividend payment commencement date was stated as “September 30, 2026”.
• After correction: The dividend payment commencement date has been changed to “September 28, 2026”.

This correction pertains to a change in a specific date for dividend payment, and it does not appear to directly impact the company’s financial performance or operational results. For investors, it may be important to note the updated dividend payment commencement date accurately.

• REMIXpoint, Inc. resolved on August 17, 2026, to enter into a business alliance with Napir Co., Ltd.
• The alliance aims to accelerate the construction of an energy platform centered on Energy Management Systems (EMS), with a view towards a future capital alliance.
• Napir possesses advanced technical capabilities in EMS development, and the two companies have previously collaborated on EMS development for storage batteries.
• The alliance includes positioning their jointly developed high-voltage EMS as a core platform for grid-scale and consumer-向け storage batteries, building System Integration (SI) services that cover storage battery introduction, operation, maintenance, and market trading, and promoting joint development of low-voltage and residential EMS.
• The company anticipates a minor impact on its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2027 from this business alliance.

REMIX, active in electricity retail and battery storage businesses, aims to build a sustainable revenue model through remote control, operation, maintenance, and market trading post-installation, beyond just equipment sales, via this alliance. The integration of Napir’s EMS technology with REMIX’s business foundation could accelerate the latter’s mid-term strategy of evolving into an energy platformer. The mention of a potential future capital alliance suggests a deepening partnership, which may be worth monitoring for its implications on both companies’ strategic direction and value creation.

• Consolidated net sales for the second quarter (interim) of the fiscal year ending December 2026 totaled ¥2,636 million, an increase of ¥224 million (+9.3%) compared to the same period in the previous year.
• Operating income was ¥17 million, representing a decrease of ¥29 million (△63.4%) year-on-year, primarily due to a lower gross profit margin and increased selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses.
• Ordinary income reached ¥41 million, an increase of ¥20 million (+101.4%) year-on-year, mainly attributed to the recording of foreign exchange gains.
• Net income attributable to owners of the parent company was ¥44 million, a decrease of ¥235 million (△84.1%) year-on-year, mainly due to the absence of gains on sales of investment securities recorded in the prior year.
• By segment, the pharmaceutical business recorded sales of ¥2,523 million (+14.3% YoY) but its segment income decreased to ¥557 million (△7.3% YoY). Sales in the overseas pharmaceutical business significantly increased to ¥1,112 million (+118.7% YoY).
• The infection control business saw sales decrease to ¥111 million (△45.4% YoY), but its segment loss improved to △¥92 million (compared to △¥151 million in the prior year) due to cost control measures.
• The full-year consolidated earnings forecast remains unchanged based on the second-quarter results.

Taiko Pharmaceutical’s Q2 FY2026 results show revenue growth but a decline in operating income. The substantial increase in overseas pharmaceutical sales appears to be a key driver for overall revenue, which may suggest a successful global expansion strategy. However, challenges in the domestic pharmaceutical business, such as supply shortages for Seirogan and competitive pressures, are worth monitoring. The decrease in gross profit margin and rise in SG&A expenses, particularly marketing investments abroad, likely impacted operating profit. The unchanged full-year forecast could indicate the company anticipates a recovery in the latter half of the fiscal year.

• TEAC Corporation announced a partial amendment (expansion) to its shareholder benefit program on August 17, 2026.
• The new benefit involves an invitation by lottery to product listening sessions featuring TEAC premium audio products and ESOTERIC high-end audio products.
• Eligible shareholders for this listening session are those holding 5,000 or more shares listed or recorded in the shareholder register as of September 30.
• The new benefit will be applied starting from shareholders recorded as of September 30, 2026, with the first sessions scheduled for January 22 and 23, 2027, at the company’s head office listening room, consisting of 10 sessions, each limited to one group.
• The existing shareholder benefit system provides a 20% discount coupon (valid for 5 uses) for the TEAC Store e-commerce site to shareholders holding 100 or more shares recorded in the shareholder register as of March 31.

TEAC’s expansion of shareholder benefits, particularly the introduction of product listening sessions for high-volume shareholders, may suggest an effort to deepen shareholder engagement and understanding of its high-end audio products. This exclusive experience could serve as a unique incentive to encourage long-term shareholding and foster brand loyalty among a specific segment of investors. Such initiatives are sometimes seen as a way to differentiate a company’s shareholder relations strategy.

• Universal Engei Co., Ltd. announced a correction to its “Consolidated Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended June 2026 (Japanese GAAP)” on August 17, 2026.
• The reason for the correction was stated as an error discovered in the sales amount reported in the consolidated operating results.
• The correction pertains specifically to the sales figure for the fiscal year ended June 2026 (July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026).
• The corrected sales figure for the fiscal year ended June 2026 is ¥22,506 million, revised from the previously reported ¥22,056 million.
• Other figures, including operating profit, ordinary profit, and net profit attributable to owners of the parent, remain unchanged.

This correction by Universal Engei focuses solely on the sales figure for the fiscal year ended June 2026, with no reported impact on other profitability metrics. While the magnitude of the sales revision appears minor, such corrections post-announcement may draw investor attention regarding the precision of disclosed information. Investors reviewing past financial statements may find it prudent to refer to the corrected figures.

• AFC-HD Ams Life Science Co., Ltd. announced an increase in its year-end dividend forecast for the August 2026 fiscal year.
• The revised year-end dividend per share is set at 22.00 yen.
• This represents an increase of 4.00 yen from the previous forecast of 18.00 yen announced on October 15, 2025.
• The total annual dividend is expected to be 40.00 yen, including the interim dividend of 18.00 yen.
• The reason for the increase is attributed to the expectation that sales for the August 2026 fiscal year will significantly exceed the previous year’s 32.6 billion yen, reaching a new record high.

This announcement may suggest the company’s confidence in its projected strong financial performance. Investors might focus on how this increased dividend reflects changes in the company’s dividend policy and its alignment with future earnings prospects.

• G-Schoo Co., Ltd. announced on August 17, 2026, a “Correction to a part of ‘Q3 FY2026 Financial Results Briefing Material’.”
• The correction pertains to the “Q3 FY2026 Financial Results Briefing Material” that was released on August 14, 2026.
• The company stated that the correction was made due to errors found in some parts of the description.
• It was explicitly mentioned that there are no corrections to the “Q3 FY2026 Financial Results Tanshin” released on the same date.
• Specific correction pages are indicated in the attached document, including pages 17, 18, 20, 34, and 59. The corrected material is available on the company’s website.

This announcement indicates that G-Schoo has corrected certain inaccuracies found in its previously released financial results briefing material. Since the Financial Results Tanshin itself remains uncorrected, it suggests that the core financial figures are unlikely to have changed significantly. Investors may wish to review the corrected briefing material to ensure they have the most accurate information available, as presentation slides can offer crucial context for understanding the company’s performance and outlook. Discrepancies in such materials could potentially influence perception of business strategy or financial health.

• Geocode Co., Ltd. announced an expansion of the exchangeable items for its shareholder benefit digital gift, effective from the record date of August 31, 2026.
• Seven new items will be added: Apple Gift Card, Rakuten Point Gift, Ponta Point, WAON POINT, nanaco Gift, FamiPay Gift, and JAL Pay Point.
• This expansion will bring the total number of digital gift exchangeable items to 30.
• The previously available 23 items, including Amazon Gift Card, PayPay Money Light, d Point, Google Play Gift Code, QUO Card Pay, au PAY Gift Card, and Visa e Gift vanilla, will remain available.
• There are no changes to the eligibility criteria for shareholders, the content of the benefit (10,000 yen worth of digital gifts annually for 200 shares or more), the timing of the gift delivery, or the selection method.

The expansion of shareholder benefit items suggests an effort to enhance the convenience and appeal of the company’s shareholder return program. The addition of widely used digital payment options and points could broaden the utility of the digital gift for a wider range of shareholders. This move, without altering the core structure of the shareholder benefit system, may be perceived as a qualitative improvement for existing and potential investors.

• MERF Co., Ltd. announced a decision regarding the year-end dividend for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2026, made at its Board of Directors meeting on August 17, 2026.
• The forecast for the year-end dividend per share for the fiscal year ending August 2026 has been revised upwards from the previous forecast of ¥10.00 to ¥20.00 (Ordinary Dividend ¥10.00, Special Dividend ¥10.00).
• Consequently, the annual dividend per share for the fiscal year ending August 2026 is now revised from ¥30.00 to ¥40.00 (comprising Ordinary Dividend ¥20.00, Commemorative Dividend ¥10.00, and Special Dividend ¥10.00).
• The total dividend amount is ¥282 million, with an effective date of November 20, 2026, sourced from retained earnings.
• The company stated that the reason for the revision is the implementation of a special dividend of ¥10.00 per share to express gratitude to shareholders, against the backdrop of solid business performance this fiscal year.

This announcement may suggest MERF’s commitment to enhancing shareholder returns, driven by robust business performance in the fiscal year ending August 2026. The increase in the annual dividend by ¥10 from the previous forecast, attributed to a special dividend, could be a noteworthy point for investors. The company’s stated policy to continue stable and consistent profit distribution might also be a factor worth monitoring for future developments.

• Recomm Co., Ltd. resolved at its Board of Directors meeting on August 17, 2026, to acquire all shares of Tomiya Co., Ltd., headquartered in Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture, and make it a wholly-owned subsidiary, signing share transfer and share exchange agreements on the same date.
• The transaction involves two steps: an initial share transfer (scheduled for September 4, 2026) in which Recomm will acquire a majority of Tomiya’s voting rights, making it a consolidated subsidiary, followed by a share exchange (scheduled to take effect on September 7, 2026) to make it a wholly-owned subsidiary.
• Tomiya, founded in 1797, is an established company engaged in the sale of stationery, office supplies, office furniture, and OA equipment in Akita Prefecture.
• For the share exchange, Recomm will deliver 865,000 treasury shares and will not issue new shares.
• The acquisition price is undisclosed due to a confidentiality agreement with the share transfer counterparty.

This acquisition appears to be a strategic move by Recomm to expand its business foundation in the Tohoku region by combining its IT solutions with Tomiya’s regional network and sales capabilities. It represents the second phase of expansion in the Tohoku area, following the acquisition of Kawahara Jimuki in January of last year, suggesting a focus on building a community-based operational structure. The use of treasury shares as part of the consideration, without issuing new shares, may also be intended to mitigate dilution for existing shareholders.

• G-Jade Group announced on August 17, 2026, its board resolution to absorb and merge with six wholly-owned subsidiaries: ANBUR LEAGUE Inc., FASCINATE Inc., Blue Cincia Inc., ROYAL Inc., ROYAL LOGISTICS Inc., and ARIGATO Inc.
• G-Jade Group will be the surviving company, and the six absorbed companies are scheduled to be dissolved.
• The effective date of the merger is scheduled for October 1, 2026.
• This merger qualifies as a “Simplified Absorption-type Merger” for G-Jade Group under Article 796, Paragraph 2 of the Companies Act, and a “Short-form Absorption-type Merger” for the six absorbed companies under Article 784, Paragraph 1, thus not requiring shareholder approval.
• As the six acquired companies are 100% subsidiaries of G-Jade Group as of the effective date, no shares or other cash consideration will be allotted in connection with this merger.

This absorption merger appears to be a strategic move to optimize the group’s operations by streamlining decision-making, centralizing corporate functions to reduce costs, and enabling seamless resource allocation across its EC Mall, Platform, and Brand businesses. It is likely part of the Post Merger Integration (PMI) strategy for previously acquired entities. While the company anticipates a minor impact on its consolidated earnings for the fiscal year ending February 2027, this reorganization could indicate a focus on enhancing overall corporate value and operational efficiency.

• G-Karadanote Inc. announced that the per-shareholder benefit amount for its July 2026 shareholder benefit program has been fixed at JPY 23,697.
• The total number of eligible shareholders was 633.
• The shareholder benefit system is a “shared-type” program where the total benefit amount is fixed, and the per-shareholder amount fluctuates based on the number of eligible shareholders.
• As of the announcement on June 10, 2026, the estimated per-shareholder amount was JPY 36,058, but this amount has been finalized due to changes in the number of shareholders.
• The benefits, in the form of a “Shareholder Benefit Guide” with a QR code for digital gift redemption, are scheduled to be shipped in early October 2026.
• Eligible shareholders are those who hold 1,000 shares (10 units) or more of the company’s common stock, recorded in the shareholder registry as of January 31 and July 31 each year.

G-Karadanote’s shareholder benefit system is notable for its “shared-type” mechanism, where the total benefit amount is fixed, and the per-shareholder amount varies depending on the number of eligible shareholders. The fluctuation in the per-shareholder benefit from the initial estimate, based on the actual number of shareholders at the record date, demonstrates the operational aspect of this system. It suggests that future changes in the number of eligible shareholders could continue to impact the individual benefit amount, which may be a point of interest for investors to monitor.

• G-Lancers released their Q1 FY2027 earnings briefing report.
• For Q1 FY2027, revenue was ¥1.36 billion, marking a 16% increase year-over-year.
• Operating profit for the same quarter reached ¥40 million, representing a 15% progress towards the full-year target.
• The core matching business grew by 16%, while the new Consulting & Solution business saw its revenue grow approximately sixfold.
• The company stated that internal productivity improved due to AI utilization, leading to enhanced selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expense efficiency.
• The Consulting & Solution business is currently in an investment-intensive phase, primarily focusing on personnel recruitment and training. The company aims for this business to turn profitable in the second half of the fiscal year and become the second pillar of profit after the matching business.
• Management reiterated full-year operating profit targets of ¥2 billion for the current fiscal year and ¥10 billion for the next fiscal year.

G-Lancers’ Q1 results suggest a pivotal period of business transformation, marked by increased revenue and operating profit. The rapid growth of the AI-related consulting business and internal AI adoption for productivity gains appear to be key drivers. The company’s focus on achieving profitability for its consulting segment in the latter half of the fiscal year, alongside potential M&A activities, could significantly influence future earnings potential.

• Sanix HD reported consolidated net sales of ¥11,127 million for the first quarter of FY2027, representing a 5.7% increase compared to the same period last year.
• Operating profit for the quarter was ¥339 million, a significant turnaround from an operating loss of ¥343 million in the prior year’s first quarter.
• Ordinary profit reached ¥280 million, and net profit attributable to parent company shareholders was ¥126 million, both showing substantial improvement from losses in the previous year.
• By segment: Living Environment sales were ¥4,092 million (up 3.8% YoY) with operating profit of ¥726 million (up 32.6%). Energy segment sales were ¥1,417 million (down 19.3% YoY) with an operating loss of ¥303 million. Resource Recycling segment sales were ¥5,537 million (up 16.5% YoY) with an operating profit of ¥569 million (vs. operating loss of ¥164 million in the prior year).
• The equity ratio stood at 27.7% at the end of the quarter, a slight increase from 27.5% at the end of the previous fiscal year.

Sanix HD’s first-quarter results indicate strong performance with increased sales and significant profit recovery, largely driven by the power generation business within the resource recycling segment. While the energy segment continues to face challenges with declining sales and losses, the positive contributions from the living environment and resource recycling segments appear to have offset this. The slight improvement in the equity ratio, despite a decrease in total assets, suggests a maintained level of financial stability.

• The summary of the Q&A session from the Q2 FY2026 earnings briefing was released on August 17, 2026.
• The growth of “Faclog” is attributed to the company’s in-house expertise in sales, marketing, and development, alongside its positioning in a high-unit-price and profitable domain.
• “Resonas,” an online factoring service, offers same-day invoice purchasing, leveraging the company’s listed status, PrivacyMark certification for customer trust, and the customer acquisition power of “Faclog” for growth.
• The expansion of “Resonas” to sole proprietors was due to approximately 80% of “Faclog” users being sole proprietors, aiming to attract a broader user base.
• “Toramy Reward” is a service where members earn points by shopping or using services via Toramy, intending to increase Toramy’s active user rate.

The G-Eyes Q&A summary sheds light on the growth drivers of its core business, “Faclog,” and the strategic intentions behind new services like “Resonas” and “Toramy Reward.” The emphasis on leveraging the customer acquisition capabilities of existing platforms for “Faclog” and “Resonas” suggests a focus on inter-business synergy. Furthermore, the initiative to enhance user engagement through “Toramy Reward” could indicate efforts to improve long-term platform value.

• G-Cyberbuzz announced on August 17, 2026, a partial correction to its “Q3 FY2026 Financial Results Briefing Material.”
• The reason for the correction was stated as errors due to typographical mistakes identified after the initial disclosure.
• The revisions affect pages 24, 32, and 34 of the financial results briefing material.
• Specifically, “Consolidated Subsidiary Name in Growth Strategy” was corrected on pages 24 and 32.
• On page 34, “Display correction of consolidated subsidiary logo and service description in Appendix” was corrected.

This correction primarily addresses typographical errors within the financial results briefing material and does not indicate any impact on the reported financial figures themselves. Investors might view this as the company’s commitment to accuracy in its disclosed information. The continued accuracy of future disclosures remains a point of observation for stakeholders.

• Central Forest Group Co., Ltd. has acquired all shares of Ito Sho Co., Ltd. through its subsidiary, Tokan Co., Ltd., making Ito Sho a non-consolidated subsidiary.
• The Board of Directors resolved the acquisition on August 7, 2026, and the share acquisition was executed on August 17, 2026.
• Ito Sho is a wholesale distributor of commercial food products primarily for school and industrial meal services in Aichi Prefecture.
• Ito Sho’s most recent sales were 2,145 million yen (July 2025 fiscal year), and its capital is 45 million yen.
• This disclosure is voluntary and does not meet the criteria for timely disclosure; the acquisition price of the shares is undisclosed.

Central Forest Group’s long-term strategy “Transforming Wholesale” for 2030 identifies the meal service market as a key strategic area, and this acquisition of Ito Sho appears to be a concrete step towards implementing that strategy. Integrating Ito Sho, with its specialization in the meal service market, could potentially strengthen Central Forest Group’s business foundation in this sector. While the impact on consolidated earnings for the current period is expected to be minor due to Ito Sho becoming a non-consolidated subsidiary, the future development of business synergies is worth monitoring.

• R-Bldg F (Nippon Building Fund Inc.) reported operating revenue of ¥53,858 million for the fiscal year ended June 2026, a 10.9% increase year-on-year.
• Operating profit increased by 25.8% to ¥26,694 million, ordinary profit by 26.2% to ¥24,354 million, and net income by 26.2% to ¥24,354 million.
• Net income per unit was ¥2,768, and distribution per unit (excluding excess distributions) was ¥2,489.
• Total assets amounted to ¥1,475,730 million, net assets to ¥755,100 million, and the unitholders’ equity ratio was 51.2%.
• The REIT acquired “Nihonbashi Honcho M-SQUARE” (acquisition price: ¥32,108 million) and “Toyosu Bayside Cross Tower (additional acquisition)” (acquisition price: ¥14,810 million) in March 2026, and “Nishi-Shinjuku Mitsui Building (additional acquisition)” (acquisition price: ¥246 million) in April 2026.
• “Sumitomo Densetsu Building” was transferred in June 2026 for ¥10,000 million.
• The average occupancy rate for the period remained high at over 98%.

R-Bldg F’s financial results for the fiscal year ended June 2026 indicate robust operational performance, with double-digit growth across key profitability metrics. The strategic acquisitions and disposition of properties appear to have enhanced portfolio quality, while maintaining a high occupancy rate of over 98% likely contributed to the increase in earnings. The increase in distribution per unit may suggest a positive return for investors.

• R-J Prime (Japan Prime Realty Investment Corporation) announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended June 2026.
• For the fiscal year ended June 2026, operating revenue was ¥20,760 million (up 2.0% from the previous period), operating income was ¥10,765 million (up 2.1%), and ordinary income and net income were both ¥9,607 million (up 1.7%).
• Earnings per unit were ¥2,373, and distribution per unit was ¥2,147 (up 1.7% from the previous period).
• The financial position shows total assets of ¥563,081 million, net assets of ¥286,328 million, and an equity ratio of 50.9%.
• For the forecast of operations for the fiscal year ending December 2026, operating revenue is projected to be ¥19,593 million (down 5.6% from the previous period), with distribution per unit at ¥2,150.

The fiscal year ended June 2026 shows solid performance with increases in key financial metrics, including operating revenue and net income, alongside a rise in distribution per unit. This may suggest a stable operational period. However, the projected decline in operating revenue for the upcoming period ending December 2026 could indicate a cautious outlook for the near term, making the corporation’s future strategies and market environment worth monitoring.

• Canadian Solar Infrastructure Fund announced its financial results for the fiscal period ending June 2026.
• Operating revenue was ¥4,456 million, representing a 6.8% decrease compared to the previous period.
• Operating profit was ¥1,621 million (down 12.7% YoY), ordinary profit was ¥1,303 million (down 16.6% YoY), and net income was ¥1,302 million (down 16.6% YoY).
• Distribution per unit (including excess distribution) was ¥3,041.
• For the forecast of the fiscal period ending December 2026, the fund projects operating revenue of ¥4,630 million and distribution per unit (excluding excess distribution) of ¥3,169.

The reported decline in key revenue and profit metrics for the current period may draw investor attention, potentially prompting closer examination of the underlying factors influencing the fund’s short-term performance. However, the projected improvement in operating revenue and distribution per unit for the next fiscal period could indicate a potential rebound, which might be a point of interest for investors monitoring future trends.

• Wiss1 Inc. announced on August 17, 2026, the re-registration of its “Notice Regarding Disclosure of Interim Financial Results Explanation Material.”
• The re-registration was necessitated by an error in the file information of the previously disclosed material on August 14, 2026.
• The company explicitly stated that there are no corrections to the content of the file, and it remains unchanged from the initially disclosed version.
• For the interim period of December 2026, the company reported an 18.2% increase in net sales year-over-year, while operating profit decreased by 21.1% year-over-year.
• The decrease in operating profit is primarily attributed to increased labor costs due to hiring and personnel expansion, higher costs from opening four new offices, and “preceding fixed costs associated with future investment (growth investment).”
• The company has changed the breakdown of its business segments to System Integration Business and AI Solution Business, effective from this period.

The re-registration due to a file information error, while the content remains unchanged, highlights the company’s commitment to accurate disclosure practices. The interim financial results suggest a strategic phase where the company is prioritizing growth investments, leading to a temporary impact on operating profit despite strong sales growth. Investors may find it worthwhile to monitor how these investments translate into future profitability and the implications of the revised business segment breakdown for the company’s long-term strategy.

• G-HOPE Co., Ltd. announced a correction to a part of its “Consolidated Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2026 (Japanese GAAP),” which was originally disclosed on May 14, 2026.
• The reason for the correction was the discovery of errors in the reported amounts for “Merchandise and Products,” “Other” (current assets), and “Accounts Payable” (current liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheet for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, during the audit process for the Annual Securities Report.
• Specifically, “Merchandise and Products” under current assets was corrected from ¥324,643 thousand to ¥285,741 thousand (a decrease of ¥38,902 thousand), and “Other” was corrected from ¥64,048 thousand to ¥60,158 thousand (a decrease of ¥3,890 thousand).
• “Accounts Payable” under current liabilities was corrected from ¥386,228 thousand to ¥343,436 thousand (a decrease of ¥42,792 thousand), which matches the combined decrease in the aforementioned current assets.
• These corrections are stated to have no impact on operating profit, ordinary profit, profit attributable to owners of parent, or net assets.

These corrections primarily involve reclassifications or adjustments of amounts within current assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The fact that there is no impact on the income statement or net assets, which reflect the company’s profitability, is a key point for investors. The prompt correction and disclosure of these errors, identified during the audit process, suggest an effort to ensure the accuracy of financial reporting. Investors may want to review the detailed corrected figures to understand the full scope of the adjustments.

• Access Group Holdings, Inc. announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026).
• For Q1, net sales reached ¥1,217 million (+16.6% YoY), operating profit was ¥132 million (+11.9% YoY), and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥90 million (+13.9% YoY).
• Segment-wise, the Educational Institution Support business reported sales of ¥497 million (+8.2% YoY) and profit of ¥129 million (+5.0% YoY). The Promotion Support business achieved sales of ¥427 million (+64.7% YoY) and profit of ¥37 million. The Human Resource Solution business, however, reported sales of ¥292 million (△9.9% YoY) and a loss of ¥31 million.
• The full-year consolidated performance forecast (Net Sales ¥4,500 million, Operating Profit ¥255 million) and the dividend forecast (¥22 per share) remain unchanged.
• The company announced business alliances concluded on July 13, 2026, August 5, 2026, and August 13, 2026, with Gakusei Joho Center Co., Ltd., Next Mission Co., Ltd., and Spocari Co., Ltd., respectively.

Access Group’s first-quarter results show overall revenue and profit growth, largely driven by the strong performance of the Promotion Support business. The Human Resource Solution business experienced a decrease in profit due to increased selling, general, and administrative expenses from human capital investment, which may warrant further attention in upcoming quarters. The affirmation of the full-year forecast suggests the company views the current progress as in line with its expectations.

• Japan Creative Group announced on August 17, 2026, the resolution and agreement to acquire shares of Metal Creation Co., Ltd. and make it a wholly-owned subsidiary via a simplified share exchange.
• Metal Creation specializes in the manufacturing and sale of paper laminating machines, automatic box-making machines, and cover-pasting machines.
• Japan Creative Group plans to execute this share exchange as a simplified share exchange, not requiring shareholder approval under Article 796, Paragraph 2 of the Companies Act.
• In the share acquisition, Japan Creative Group acquired 508 shares out of Metal Creation’s 1,000 outstanding shares for 508 million JPY, resulting in a post-acquisition voting rights ownership of 50.80%.
• The effective date of the share exchange is scheduled for October 2, 2026, with 1,700 shares of Japan Creative Group’s common stock to be allotted for every 1 share of Metal Creation’s common stock.

This full acquisition suggests Japan Creative Group’s strategic move to strengthen its business portfolio by integrating Metal Creation’s expertise in paper processing machinery, aligning with its “creative support group” vision. The shared focus on “paper processing products” could potentially lead to new value creation and synergies with existing businesses. Utilizing treasury shares for the exchange, thereby avoiding new share issuance, may indicate an intention to prevent dilution for existing shareholders.

• Consolidated net sales for the full fiscal year ended June 2026 were 1,850 million JPY, a 0.3% increase year-on-year.
• The company reported an operating loss of △52 million JPY, an ordinary loss of △98 million JPY, and a net loss attributable to parent company shareholders of △105 million JPY.
• Earnings per share for the period were △9.17 JPY.

• Approximately 1.0 billion JPY was raised through a new share issuance in July 2026, with an additional approximately 3.5 billion JPY anticipated from the exercise of share options.

MH Group’s FY2026 results show a revenue increase, but the company continues to post losses at the operating level and below, primarily due to increased costs and upfront investments. However, the forecast for FY2027 projects a significant recovery in both revenue and profit. Investors may be monitoring how the recently completed third-party allotment, business partnerships, and head office relocation will contribute to future performance.

• P-Human A Co., Ltd. resolved to implement a stock split at its Board of Directors meeting held on June 20, 2024.
• The stock split ratio is 3 shares for every 1 share of common stock.
• The effective date for the stock split is October 1, 2024.
• The record date is September 30, 2024, applicable to shareholders registered in the final shareholder list on that date.
• Concurrent with the stock split, an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation (change in the total number of authorized shares) was also resolved at the same Board of Directors meeting.

A stock split typically reduces the per-share price, potentially making shares more accessible to a broader range of investors. This move could enhance the liquidity of the stock by lowering the minimum investment unit, which may attract more individual investors. Additionally, the increase in the total number of outstanding shares might lead to more trading opportunities in the market.

• G-STMN released the video and transcript of its Q2 FY2026 earnings call on August 17, 2026, which was held on August 14, 2026.
• For Q2 FY2026, consolidated revenue was ¥1,140 million (up 26.7% YoY), and operating profit was ¥127 million (doubled YoY). The operating profit margin reached 11.2%.
• The TUNAG business, a core segment, saw its ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) increase by ¥620 million YoY, with the number of client companies reaching 1,460.
• The FANTS business demonstrated continuous growth across all key metrics: ARR, number of operating communities, average MRR, and the ratio of recurring revenue to total sales.
• Operating cash flow consistently accumulated in Q2, and free cash flow amounted to ¥146 million.

This earnings report suggests a notable improvement in G-STMN’s profit generation capabilities, as evidenced by sustained revenue growth and a doubling of operating profit year-over-year. The continued growth in key metrics for both TUNAG and FANTS businesses, such as ARR and client numbers, could indicate a strengthening of the company’s business foundation. The operating profit margin exceeding 10% and the operating profit surpassing ¥100 million for three consecutive quarters may also suggest increased operational stability.

• The affected section is located on Slide P.30 of the earnings presentation material.
