Japan Services Company News (Page 8)

Earnings, deals and disclosures from Japan's listed services companies, in English.

  1. Gokurakuyu’s recovery extends as net assets reach ¥4.91bn

    Sales rose to ¥16.25bn and profit attributable to owners of parent to ¥929.0mn in the year to March 2026, extending Gokurakuyu’s recovery, even if the supplied filings say little about the next year’s pace.

  2. Fureasu swings back to profit as net income reaches ¥508.9mn

    Net income swung to ¥508.9mn in the year to March 2026 from a ¥244.5mn loss, with sales edging up to ¥7.64bn and net assets ending March at ¥2.18bn.

  3. Uchiyama shareholders back ¥2.12bn capital cut that leaves shares unchanged

    Shareholders backed a cut in stated capital to ¥100mn, but the company says the move is a balance-sheet reclassification into other capital surplus that leaves issued shares and net assets unchanged.

  4. Daiei Kankyo lifts sales to ¥87.86bn as profit climbs again

    The number: Daiei Kankyo closed the year with sales of ¥87.86bn, ordinary income of ¥22.43bn and parent net profit of ¥15.85bn, extending its multi-year climb.

  5. Fureasu swings to ¥508.9mn profit as net assets rise to ¥2.18bn

    The move: Fureasu swung from a ¥244.5mn loss to ¥508.9mn in profit attributable to owners in the year to March, while net assets rose to ¥2.18bn and shareholders approved a 10.57 yen dividend.

  6. Royal Hotel flags planned Hakone Gora lease as potentially material

    Royal Hotel approved a reservation agreement for a planned Hakone Gora hotel under a 20-year fixed-term building lease, with final lease signing slated for end-August 2028 and opening planned for end-December 2028. Management withheld both the landlord's name and the total rent, but still warned the aggregate lease payments could reach 30% or more of prior-year consolidated net assets.

  7. AIAI targets 77.7% revenue growth, but margins fall in the year ahead

    Revenue is set to jump 77.7% in the year to March 2027, but operating margin is guided down to 4.6% from 7.6%.

  8. Waseda Academy sales reach ¥37.66bn, profit rises again

    Sales reached ¥37.66bn, ordinary income ¥3.97bn and parent profit ¥2.49bn. As private-education signals go, this one still points upward.

  9. Sigmaxyz ends year with ¥23.83bn sales, consulting arm hits specified-subsidiary threshold

    The group reported ¥23.83bn of sales, ¥6.35bn of ordinary income and ¥3.97bn of parent profit, while its wholly owned consulting arm became a specified subsidiary after its net assets crossed 30% of the parent's. Disclosure threshold, not a new acquisition.

  10. Tameny removes going-concern note after equity raises restore net assets

    Tameny said it can remove the going-concern note after ending March 2026 with net assets of ¥1.134bn and cash of ¥3.115bn, against ¥2.406bn of borrowings due within one year. A year earlier net assets were negative ¥694mn. The company credits share allotments totaling ¥2.049bn for the recovery and says the exchange confirmed it met the Growth Market's net-assets listing standard at end-March.

  11. Tokai buys Idemitsu's QLC Produce for ¥2.91bn, taking rehab network to 206 outlets

    The purchase of QLC Produce adds 169 rehabilitation day-service outlets and care-provider software to Tokai's eldercare push, though the buyer says the immediate earnings effect will be small.

  12. TriIs lifts net income outlook on court-linked gains, operating forecast unchanged

    The company raised net income guidance for the year ending December 2026 to ¥155mn from ¥104mn after saying it expects ¥76mn of extraordinary gains tied to a Tokyo High Court ruling. Revenue and operating-loss guidance were unchanged.

  13. Def consulting booked a ¥2.15bn loss on ¥854.1mn of sales

    Def consulting reported ¥854.1mn in sales for the year to March 2026, but booked an ordinary loss of ¥2.15bn and a net loss of ¥2.15bn. Financing activities brought in ¥4.22bn while investing used ¥3.31bn, meaning the funding flows were far larger than the revenue line.

  14. Artner splits shares in two, says dividend revision is only mechanical

    The company will split each share into two on Aug. 1, doubling shares outstanding to 21,255,840 and lifting authorized shares to 72 million. Its new ¥21.50 year-end dividend is a post-split figure equivalent to ¥43.00 on a pre-split basis, leaving the annual payout effectively unchanged at ¥86.00.

  15. Career Design Center lifts year-end dividend to ¥160, adds ¥20 special payout

    The company lifted its planned year-end dividend to ¥160 a share from ¥130, split between ¥140 of ordinary dividend and a ¥20 special dividend. Management tied the change to firm trading and expected record cumulative third-quarter revenue and profit.

  16. GMO TECH Holdings to fold Trihatch into GMO TECH in October

    The group plans an October 1 merger in which GMO TECH absorbs GMO Trihatch, the MEO provider it bought in February. Management says combining the two should improve efficiency and decision-making, while the effect on consolidated earnings will be minor.

  17. GMO Commerce lifts dividend as Digital Lab deal shifts payouts to consolidated accounts

    After agreeing to buy GMO Digital Lab for ¥700 million, plus a potential earn-out of up to ¥100 million, the company moved its dividend rule to consolidated accounts and nudged its year-end payout forecast to ¥50.56 from ¥48.24. The revised group outlook adds far more revenue than net profit, because a matching ¥700 million bank loan helps fund the deal and drags interest costs into the picture.

  18. Sakurasaku Plus pairs rising nine-month profit with a ¥300m buyback

    Nine-month net profit rose 14.6% to ¥834 million even as sales fell 5.4%, and full-year guidance was left unchanged. The board also approved a buyback of up to 106,700 shares worth ¥300.1 million via ToSTNeT-3.

  19. H.I.S. sales rise with travel demand, but profit and cash flow weaken

    First-half sales rose to ¥193.132 billion from ¥181.313 billion a year earlier, but ordinary income slipped to ¥6.197 billion and operating cash flow swung to a ¥3.428 billion outflow from a ¥1.367 billion inflow. A separate disclosure also points to about ¥6 billion of extraordinary loss in the third quarter tied to a Guam land purchase and lease cancellation.

  20. Fit Easy lifts profit outlook and annual dividend on member growth and lower costs

    The fitness operator lifted full-year revenue and profit guidance after saying member growth at existing clubs and new in-club services ran ahead of plan, while operating costs came in lighter. It also raised its year-end dividend forecast to ¥25 from ¥20, taking the annual dividend view to ¥51.

  21. Care 21 lifts core profit outlook, but home closure cuts net-income guide

    The eldercare operator raised full-year sales, operating profit and ordinary profit guidance after stronger facility occupancy and tighter cost control, but cut net-income guidance to ¥50 million from ¥250 million. The reason sits below the line: a ¥527 million extraordinary loss tied to the planned closure of Pleasant Luxe Minami-Aoyama.

  22. Astroscale’s project revenue jumps, but next year still points to losses

    Project revenue rose 89.0% to ¥11.51 billion and IFRS revenue climbed 141.8% to ¥5.94 billion in the year to April, while operating loss narrowed to ¥9.98 billion and net loss to ¥6.70 billion. Cash and equivalents fell to ¥10.02 billion from ¥21.30 billion, and the coming-year outlook is still a loss-making range rather than a clean turn to profit.

  23. Macbee Planet raises dividend as profit drops and next year’s guide weakens

    Revenue slipped 2.1% to ¥50.6 billion in the year ended April 2026, while operating profit fell 29.4% to ¥3.65 billion. The group still raised its annual dividend to ¥55 a share and plans to keep it there even as it guides for another profit decline this year.

  24. Timee books ¥3.8bn operating profit in six-month transition, then points beyond spot work

    After changing its year-end, Timee reported a six-month transition period with ¥21.0 billion in revenue and ¥3.81 billion in operating profit, while warning that direct comparison with the prior year is not meaningful. The platform still looks large, with more than 14.2 million registered workers, over 465,000 client locations and ¥69.5 billion in gross transaction value. New disclosures show where management wants the next leg of growth to come from: a summer rollout for long-term part-time hiring support, an expanded direct-recruiting model, a renamed logistics subsidiary and a planned finance arm.
