Explanation on operating results
Overview of the first quarter of fiscal year ending September 30, 2026 (Period from October 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025)
The Group has been actively engaged in the healthcare business and the school DX business, both of which are expected to expand in the future, in order to enhance its corporate value over the medium- to long-term.
Net sales increased to ¥7,773 million (up 6.9% year-on-year), driven by growth in the healthcare business and school DX business. Gross profit rose to ¥5,708 million (up 5.5% year-on-year), mainly due to the increase in net sales.
Operating income and ordinary income increased to ¥835 million (up 16.4% year-on-year) and ¥923 million (up 18.0% year-on-year), respectively, as the increase in gross profit offset the rise in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Profit attributable to owners of parent increased to ¥603 million (up 2.4% year-on-year). Although ordinary income grew, the year-on-year increase was limited due to the absence of the special gains recorded in the same period of the previous year.

Operating results by segment are as follows.
-
Content business
The content business includes B2C monthly billing services (excluding the Luna-Luna healthcare service for women and the CARADA medica health Q&A service in cooperation with healthcare professionals) and the B2B original comic distribution business that offers original comic content to comic distributors.
The number of monthly paid subscribers for this business was 3.23 million (down 10,000 from the end of September 2025). As the number of paid subscribers for security-related apps such as AdGuard continues to grow, overall paid subscriptions have remained largely stable.

Net sales amounted to ¥4,335 million (up 1.0% year-on-year).
Operating income increased to ¥1,184 million (up 22.1% year-on-year), driven by reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses achieved through cost-saving initiatives.
-
Healthcare business
The healthcare business includes B2C monthly billing services under the Luna-Luna and CARADA medica brands and B2B and B2B2C healthcare services for medical institutions and local governments, such as the cloud drug record service, the maternal health record book app and the childcare DX service.
The number of monthly paid subscribers for this business totaled 460,000 (down 10,000 from the end of September 2025). The number of pharmacies implementing the cloud-based medication history system increased to 4,166 as of the end of December 2025, an increase of 355 from the end of September 2025, driven by a continued focus on expanding adoption among medium- and large-sized pharmacies.
Net sales increased to ¥1,850 million (up 24.0% year-on-year), primarily due to higher revenue from the cloud-based medication history system.
Operating loss amounted to ¥152 million, (profit of ¥13 million in the previous year). While revenue from the cloud-based medication history system continued to grow, profit declined due to increased development costs related to pharmacy DX and childcare DX initiatives.
-
School DX business
The school DX business includes school DX business developed for educational institutions by the consolidated subsidiary Motivation Works Inc..
Net sales increased significantly to ¥577 million (up 40.1% year-on-year), driven by higher monthly subscription revenue from the cloud-based school affairs system BLEND, whose cumulative number of implementing schools reached 1,067 as of April 2025 (an increase of 292 schools compared with April 2024). In addition, growth in initial development revenue for public schools also contributed to the increase.
Operating income increased significantly to ¥215 million (up 113.3% year-on-year), reflecting the strong increase in net sales.
-
Other business
Other business includes the B2B AI business operated by Automagi Inc., a consolidated subsidiary, and the corporate DX support business and solution business.
Net sales amounted to ¥1,430 million (down 0.8% year-on-year). While revenue in the AI business declined, this was partially offset by steady orders in the corporate DX support business.
Operating income declined to ¥268 million (down 11.7% year-on-year). primarily due to lower profitability in the AI business.

Content business

Explanation on financial position
At the end of the first quarter under review, total assets decreased ¥1,715 million from the end of September 2025, to ¥31,632 million.
Current assets decreased by ¥2,075 million, mainly due to a decline in cash and deposits, while non-current assets increased by ¥360 million, primarily reflecting an increase in goodwill.
Current liabilities decreased by ¥1,695 million, mainly due to lower income taxes payable and contract liabilities. Non-current liabilities also decreased by ¥145 million, primarily reflecting a decline in longterm borrowings.
Net assets increased by ¥125 million. Although dividends were paid, this increase was driven by the recording of ¥603 million in profit attributable to owners of parent.

Explanation on operating results
Overview of the first quarter of fiscal year ending September 30, 2026 (Period from October 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025)
The Company will focus on expanding sales and profits in the healthcare business and school DX business, which are expected to drive future growth. Additionally, in the content business, we will work to maintain profitability by increasing the number of paid subscribers for the security-related app AdGuard and expanding our original comics business.
The healthcare business, which the company is pursuing as a medium- to long-term initiative, has significant growth potential. As it enables the establishment of long-term relationships with clients compared with the B-to-C model, it can become a stable, stock-based business.
In the cloud-based medication history, interest from dispensing pharmacies remains strong, contributing to sustainable sales and profit growth for this business. We aim to further expand the number of adopting stores by strengthening our collaboration with our partner, Medipal Holdings Corporation. Additionally, to comprehensively promote operational efficiency across dispensing pharmacies, we will actively support the
