Explanation on operating results
Overview of the first half ended March 31, 2026 (Period from October 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026)
The Group is 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 ¥15,666 million (up 5.2% year on year), driven by sales growth in both the healthcare business and the school DX business. Gross profit also increased to ¥11,459 million (up 3.3% year on year) as a result of higher net sales.
Operating profit amounted to ¥1,679 million (up 2.4% year on year). Although gross profit increased, this was partly offset by a rise in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Ordinary profit increased significantly to ¥2,063 million (up 19.9% year on year), mainly due to a ¥310 million increase in equity in earnings of affiliated companies.
Profit attributable to owners of parent rose to ¥1,863 million (up 6.1% year on year). This was driven by higher ordinary profit, as well as a ¥425 million reduction in income taxes (corporate, inhabitant, and business taxes) resulting from the transfer of all shares of the consolidated subsidiary Video Market Corporation. These positive factors offset the absence of special income 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 LunaLuna 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 paid subscribers for this business was 3.18 million (a decrease of 60,000 compared to the end of September 2025), due to a decrease of 60,000 paid subscribers resulting from the transfer of all shares of the consolidated subsidiary Video Market Corporation. As the number of paid subscribers for security-related apps such as AdGuard continues to increase, the total number of paid subscribers for this business has remained almost flat.
Net sales amounted to ¥8,398 million (down 2.9% year on year) due to the exclusion of Video Market Corporation from the scope of consolidation.
Operating profit increased significantly to ¥2,240 million (up 13.2% year on year), mainly driven by a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses through effective cost control.
-
Healthcare business
The healthcare business includes B2C monthly billing services under the LunaLuna 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 paid members for this business was 460,000 (a decrease of 10,000 compared to the end of September 2025). In addition, as a result of focusing on expanding the introduction of cloud-based medication history to medium-sized and larger dispensing pharmacies, the number of such stores as of the end of March 2026 increased to 4,458 (an increase of 647 compared to the end of September 2025).
Net sales increased to ¥3,927 million (up 24.5% YoY), mainly due to the expansion of net sales from cloud-based medication history.
Operating loss amounted to ¥253 million (compared with an operating profit of ¥86 million in the same period of the previous year), mainly due to increased system development costs for pharmacy DX and childcare DX initiatives, as well as expenses related to "LunaLuna Mirai Support."
-
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 ¥1,148 million (up 27.0% year on year), driven by growth in monthly subscription revenue as the number of schools using the cloud-based school administrative support system BLEND rose to 1,067 schools as of April 2024 (an increase of 292 schools from April 2025). In addition, sales from initial development for public schools also expanded.
Operating profit recorded a substantial increase to ¥410 million (up 50.6% year on year), as the rise in selling, general and administrative expenses was offset by the strong growth 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 ¥3,051 million (up 5.3% year on year), supported by steady orders in the corporate DX support business.
Operating profit declined to ¥619 million (down 1.4% year on year) due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Explanation on financial position
- Assets, liabilities and net assets
At the end of the first half under review, total assets increased ¥1,368 million from the end of September 2025, to ¥31,979 million.
In assets, current assets decreased by ¥2,304 million, mainly due to a decline in cash and deposits, while non-current assets increased by ¥936 million, primarily reflecting higher investment securities and goodwill. In liabilities, current liabilities decreased by ¥2,023 million, mainly due to declines in income taxes payable and contract liabilities, and non-current liabilities decreased by ¥288 million as a result of a reduction in long-
term borrowings.
Net assets increased by ¥943 million, as the recording of ¥1,863 million in profit attributable to owners of the parent more than offset dividend payments.
