Summary of operating results for the nine months ended December 31, 2025
In the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Japanese economy continued to show a gradual recovery trend due to improvements in the employment and income environment. However, the outlook remained
uncertain due to factors such as the uncertainty surrounding the policies of various countries, protracted
geopolitical risks, and the impact of increased interest rates stemming from additional rate hikes by the Bank of Japan on consumer sentiment. In the retail industry, rising prices especially on food and daily necessities due to the weak yen were putting pressure on household budgets, and personal consumption was still lacking strength due to the sluggish growth of real wages. Furthermore, in the e-commerce and mail-order industries,
although the size of the markets continues to increase, the growth rate has slowed down when compared to the rapid growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Competition for customer acquisition between companies across industries and business categories has been further intensifying due to an increasing number of
companies entering the industry.
In this environment, the Group has set our Medium- to Long-Term Vision as "To become a true Marketing Solution Company (MSC), we will hone our uniqueness in Marketing Solution domain," and aims to enhance profitability by expanding our business domain without limiting ourselves to the direct marketing market
while pursuing highly unique business models. In FY2025, we are working to improve the Group's corporate value by focusing on two main policies of "strengthening earning power by pursuing uniqueness" and
"promoting agile 'responsibility' management" by dedicating management resources to LPB (Logistics,
Payment, and BPO). Furthermore, during the third quarter of the current fiscal year, ¥851 million in extraordinary losses were recorded due to withdrawal from unprofitable businesses in the E-commerce Business.
As a result, net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to ¥65,920 million (up 4.9% from the nine months ended December 31, 2024). As for profits, operating profit was ¥4,727 million (down 13.1% from the nine months ended December 31, 2024), ordinary profit was ¥5,063 million (down 11.7% from the nine months ended December 31, 2024), and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥2,151 million (down 44.6% from the nine months ended December 31, 2024).
Operating results by segment are as follows.
Effective from the first quarter of the current fiscal year, the Company has partially changed the classification of its reportable segments, and in the following year-on-year comparisons, figures from the same period of the previous fiscal year have been compared based on the segment classification after such change. For details,
please refer to "2. Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements and Primary Notes (3) Notes to quarterly consolidated financial statements (Notes on segment information, etc.)."
Net sales for each segment include intersegment sales or transfers.
Solutions Business
In the Solutions Business, we are working to expand our market by targeting all types of businesses without limiting our service offerings to the direct marketing market, capitalizing on our strength in providing the functions essential for direct marketing business operations on a one-stop basis. In addition to this, we will strengthen our profitability by developing high value-added businesses tailored to customer needs. With regards to distribution agency services, we will contribute to enhancing profitability by acquiring new
customers and meeting the growing demand of existing customers. In payment agency services, we continue to promote efforts to reduce the risk of bad debts. The marketing support business is showing steady growth, centered on social media marketing.
As a result, net sales amounted to ¥27,626 million (up 22.3% from the nine months ended December 31, 2024), and segment profit was ¥1,184 million (up 52.5% from the nine months ended December 31, 2024).
Mail-order Business
In the Mail-order Business, net sales decreased compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024 due
not only to the increasing belt-tightening accompanying the continuous rise in prices, particularly for food, but also due to the effects of weather, such as record-setting intense and lingering summer heat and the delayed
drop in temperature in the winter. Aiming to generate maximum profit under these circumstances, we are
continuing to promote business efficiency by controlling inventory and reducing and restraining various costs, including sales promotion expenses.
As a result, net sales amounted to ¥28,386 million (down 7.0% from the nine months ended December 31, 2024), and segment profit was ¥3,695 million (down 22.3% from the nine months ended December 31, 2024).
E-commerce Business
In the E-commerce Business, we are continuously promoting the completion of business restructuring, which has been underway since FY2024, and the transformation of the business model to build a new revenue base.
As a result, net sales amounted to ¥10,712 million (down 1.6% from the nine months ended December 31, 2024), and segment profit was ¥122 million (up 124.6% from the nine months ended December 31, 2024).
Group Jurisdiction Business
In the Group Jurisdiction Business, performance remained solid, supported by the Group's rental of real estate, including its own logistics facilities, and the Group's logistics operations. In its logistics operations, we
continued to reinforce its center operations in the Tokai, Kansai, and Kanto areas and strove to create a stable operating system. In addition to transactions within the Group, we are also engaged in sales activities to
acquire external customers.
As a result, net sales amounted to ¥3,006 million (up 12.9% from the nine months ended December 31, 2024), and segment profit was ¥58 million (down 62.1% from the nine months ended December 31, 2024).

Summary of financial position
(Assets)
Total assets as of December 31, 2025 were ¥58,832 million, up by ¥2,800 million compared with March 31, 2025. This is mainly due to an increase in accounts receivable - trade, an increase in other under investments and other assets, and a decrease in accounts receivable - other.
(Liabilities)
Liabilities were ¥21,860 million, up by ¥2,298 million compared with March 31, 2025. This is mainly due to an increase in accounts payable - other and an increase in provision for loss on business liquidation.
(Net assets)
Net assets were ¥36,972 million, up by ¥501 million compared with March 31, 2025, and the equity ratio stood at 62.8%.
- Explanation of consolidated earnings forecasts and other forward-looking statements
In the E-commerce Business segment, we are working to complete business restructuring and reorganization.
However, after comprehensively assessing the challenging external environment-including changes in
consumer sentiment following the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing weakening of the yen-as well as the usage patterns of our e-commerce sites, we have resolved to withdraw from the parallel import e-
commerce business. Consequently, during the third quarter of the current fiscal year, we have recorded
extraordinary losses of 851 million yen as costs associated with the withdrawal from unprofitable businesses in the E-commerce Business.
Consequently as for consolidated earnings forecasts, we have revised the full-year consolidated earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 announced in the "Consolidated Financial Results for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2025" as of October 31, 2025. For details, please refer to the "Notice
Concerning Recording of Extraordinary Losses and Revisions to Full-Year Consolidated Results Forecasts" that was released today (January 30, 2026).

Changes to reportable segments, etc.
One overseas subsidiary, which was previously included in the "Group Jurisdiction Business," has been reclassified under the "Mail-order Business" in accordance with the change in the internal management classification from the first quarter of the current fiscal year. The segment information for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 has been restated based on the classification of the reportable segments for the nine months ended December 31, 2025.
Information on impairment losses on non-current assets and goodwill, etc. by reportable segment (Significant impairment losses on non-current assets)
In the Solutions Business, it became apparent that the Company's consolidated subsidiary ZonExpert Co., Ltd. would not yield the initially expected earnings. The business plan was therefore revised. As a result of carefully assessing the possibility of r ecovery, the entire sum of goodwill of ¥548 million was recorded as impairment loss for the second quarter of the current fiscal year.
(Significant changes in amount of goodwill)

The Group has recognized an impairment loss for the following asset group. Nine months ended December 31, 2025
The Group, in principle, groups assets for the purpose of measuring impairment losses at the reportable segment level, based on the business for which investment decisions are made. For consolidated subsidiaries, assets are grouped at the company level, taking into account size and other factors. Idle assets and assets held for lease are grouped on a property-by-property basis.
It became apparent that the Company's consolidated subsidiary ZonExpert Co., Ltd. would not yield the initially expected earnings. The business plan was therefore revised. As a result of carefully assessing the possibility of recovery, the entire sum of goodwill was recorded as impairment loss for the second quarter of the current fiscal year. As the recoverable amount of the asset in question is calculated based on its value in use, it is valued at zero.
*2 Provision for loss on business liquidation
In the Group's E-commerce Business segment, expected losses due to withdrawal from unprofitable businesses are recorded as a provision for loss on business liquidation.
(Notes on quarterly consolidated statement of cash flows)The Company has not prepared quarterly consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2025. Depreciation (including amortization related to intangible assets excluding goodwill) and amortization of goodwill for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2025 are as follows.
