Cumulative results for FY2026 Q3 were Revenue ¥6.7B (YoY +¥0.6B, +9.5%), Operating Income ¥0.8B (YoY +¥0.0B, +3.8%), Ordinary Income ¥0.8B (YoY +¥0.2B, +25.1%), and Net Income ¥0.5B (YoY +¥0.1B, +25.1%). The SaaS model, which maintains a Recurring Revenue Ratio of 81.2%, continued the topline growth trend, but Operating Income growth was limited by a high level of SG&A at ¥3.5B. Ordinary Income grew faster than Operating Income due to improvements in non-operating income, and after-tax Net Income increased at the same rate. With Total Assets of ¥7.3B and Equity of ¥5.7B, the Equity Ratio stands at 78.2% and the Current Ratio at 301.9%, indicating strong financial soundness. Full-year guidance is maintained at Revenue ¥9.67B and Operating Income ¥0.85B, with progress tracking well.
[Revenue] Top-line drivers were the increase in active client companies to 690 (YoY +31) and an improvement in ARPU to ¥105,484 (YoY +¥1,570), resulting in cumulative Revenue of ¥6.7B (YoY +9.5%), achieving top-line growth. New feature expansions—AI recommendation (visumo recommend), PDP optimization (visumo show), and YouTube integration—drove upsells among existing clients, maintaining a stable foundation with a Recurring Revenue Ratio of 81.2%. Outside of EC use cases (municipalities, tourism, manufacturing), the number of active companies increased by 18, indicating progress in developing new markets.
[Profit and Loss] On the bottom line, while the Gross Margin remained high at 64.6%, Operating Income was limited to ¥0.8B (YoY +3.8%) due to the SG&A level of ¥3.5B. SG&A includes sales promotion expenses and personnel expenses associated with a higher engineer ratio, resulting in limited operating leverage. Meanwhile, improvements in non-operating income led to Ordinary Income of ¥0.8B (YoY +25.1%), outpacing Operating Income growth. There was no disclosure of special gains or losses, suggesting the increase is recurring in nature. With an effective tax rate of approximately 33.4% on Profit Before Tax of ¥0.8B, Net Income was ¥0.5B (YoY +25.1%). The growth rates of Ordinary Income and Net Income were identical (+25.1%), indicating no one-off effects and improvement driven by recurring earnings power. In conclusion, both Revenue and earnings increased.
There is a single segment disclosure (visumo Services Business), so the main business is on a company-wide basis. Cumulative Revenue for FY2026 Q3 was ¥6.7B (YoY +9.5%), Operating Income ¥0.8B (YoY +3.8%), and Operating Margin 11.8%. In January 2026, ReviCo was absorbed and merged, integrating automated review collection functionality. ReviCo recorded high growth of +64.2% YoY in the period immediately prior to the merger, and post-integration, cross-sell effects are expected through the fusion of sales capabilities and enhanced customer value. By functionality, recurring revenue (cumulative ¥1.84B, on a quarterly basis) formed a stable foundation, and expansion of new features such as AI recommendations, PDP optimization, and YouTube integration drove Revenue growth. The increase in active companies outside EC use cases indicates progress in new market development, expanding future growth potential.
Due to the absence of disclosure for Operating Cash Flow (OCF), investing CF, and financing CF, a detailed analysis based on the cash flow statement cannot be conducted. The cash and deposits balance is ¥2.73B, accounting for 37.3% of Total Assets, and together with a Current Ratio of 301.9%, short-term payment capacity is sound. The increase in Retained Earnings (+¥1.23B, +44.1%) indicates accumulation of Net Income and a prioritization of internal reserves over dividends. Intangible Assets (software) increased by +¥0.61B, confirming capital allocation to development investment. Total Fixed Assets also increased by +¥0.99B, suggesting the company is in a growth investment phase. Consideration for ReviCo merger consideration and integration costs is expected to be reflected from Q4 onward, and the cash balance functions as a buffer for integration costs and additional investments post-merger. Cash generation is inferred to be at a standard to strong level, supported by ample liquidity and accumulation of internal reserves.
The difference between Ordinary Income of ¥0.8B and Net Income of ¥0.5B is attributable to tax burden (effective tax rate approximately 33.4%), and non-operating gains/losses are minor. The growth rates of Ordinary Income and Net Income both match at +25.1%, with no divergence due to one-off factors. While non-operating income led to an improvement in Ordinary Income (+25.1%) exceeding the increase in Operating Income (+3.8%), the absolute amount of non-operating income is not disclosed and it is unclear whether it exceeds 5% of Revenue. There is no description of special gains or losses, and no one-off factors such as impairment losses or gains on sales of fixed assets were recorded. The quality of earnings is on a recurring improvement trend, and the achievement of +25.1% YoY growth on an after-tax basis is favorable. Although OCF is not disclosed and an accrual-based assessment cannot be made, the increasing trend in cash and deposits and the accumulation of Retained Earnings suggest earnings are generally backed by cash.
Full-year guidance is maintained at Revenue ¥9.67B (YoY +16.6%), Operating Income ¥0.85B (YoY +6.3%), Ordinary Income ¥0.85B (YoY +25.4%), and Net Income ¥0.59B (YoY +21.7%). Cumulative progress through Q3 is Revenue 69.3% (vs. a standard 75%, -5.7pt), Operating Income 92.9% (vs. +17.9pt), Ordinary Income 95.3% (vs. +20.3pt), and Net Income 91.5% (vs. +16.5pt). The slightly delayed progress in Revenue is presumed to reflect the assumption that the effects of the ReviCo merger will be fully reflected in Q4. On the profit side, progress in Operating Income and Ordinary Income is significantly above the standard, suggesting possible incorporation of a temporary increase in costs (integration costs) associated with the merger in Q4. No forecast revision has been made, and progress toward achieving full-year targets is judged to be generally on track. For Q4, Revenue of approximately ¥3.0B (full-year guidance minus Q3 cumulative) and Operating Income of approximately ¥0.1B (same) are assumed, with the integration of ReviCo’s sales capabilities and cross-selling to existing customers expected to support progress.
Dividends are nil (¥0) at both year-end and quarterly levels, and the full-year dividend forecast is also maintained at ¥0. The Payout Ratio is not calculated because there are no dividends as inputs. There is no mention of share repurchases, and the Total Return Ratio is not applicable. The no-dividend policy indicates a policy of accumulating Retained Earnings as internal reserves and prioritizing growth investments (software development, ReviCo merger, strengthening the sales structure). Retained Earnings increased to ¥1.77B (YoY +44.1%), implying room to resume dividends, but at present the company is judged to be prioritizing growth investments. Considering the sound financial base with cash and deposits of ¥2.73B and Equity of ¥5.7B, dividends are feasible in the future, but the growth investment phase is expected to continue for the time being.

AI analysis of the PDF earnings presentation
For FY2026 Q3 results at Visumo, Inc. (Growth Market), cumulative Revenue was ¥670 million (YoY +9.5%) and Operating Income was ¥79 million (YoY +3.8%). Against the full-year Revenue forecast of ¥967 million (YoY +16.6%), the progress rate is 69.4%, tracking according to plan. The number of active client companies is 690, ARPU is ¥105,484 (YoY +¥1,570), and the Recurring Revenue Ratio is 81.2%, maintaining a stable earnings structure. Q3 highlights include surpassing 1,000 cumulative client implementations and announcing a business integration with review tool company ReviCo (implemented in January 2026). Going forward, the company will promote evolution in the utilization of UGC data, deepen engagement with existing customers, and expand beyond EC use cases. In its medium-term growth strategy (through FY27), it aims to improve ARPU and expand new customer acquisition.
In October 2025, cumulative client implementations surpassed 1,000, with strong expansion of AI functions such as visumo recommend. In January 2026, the company absorbed and merged review tool company ReviCo, integrating review UGC with visual UGC to strengthen the platform. It received the “Support Award” at the Senken Shimbun Fashion EC Awards three times (2022, 2024, 2025). Utilization outside EC use cases is expanding steadily, with increased adoption by municipalities, tourism, and manufacturing. The Gross Revenue Churn Rate (cancellation rate) remains low at 0.92%.
Full-year guidance is maintained at Revenue ¥967 million (YoY +16.6%) and Operating Income ¥85 million. Although a temporary increase in costs related to ReviCo integration is expected in Q4, the company expects to generally achieve its forecasts. In the medium term (through FY27), the company will drive business expansion by focusing on ARPU improvement through deepening existing customer relationships, developing markets outside EC use cases (potential market approximately ¥17.5B), and strengthening product development capabilities. In the long term, it is considering establishing a PLG model and enhancing overseas expansion.
President and CEO Jun Inoue commented on surpassing 1,000 clients: “The intrinsic value of our visual marketing platform has been recognized by the market.” On the ReviCo integration, he stated that by “incorporating reviews as a universal asset, we will deepen the value we provide to the EC market while broadening our potential to expand into the wider digital marketing market,” indicating a policy to evolve the data utilization foundation through the fusion of both companies’ resources, improving customer ROI and enhancing shareholder value over the medium to long term.
Expansion with existing customers: expand sales of the visumo recommend function, release of product detail page optimization function visumo show, and new templates/optional features to improve ARPU. Promotion of utilization outside EC use cases: strengthen promotional measures for municipalities, tourism, and manufacturing; expand alliances with app platforms and other companies’ MA/CDP/CRM tools. Strengthening product development capabilities: continue increasing development personnel, release new features leveraging generative AI technologies and promote R&D, and raise the engineer ratio from 54% prior to the ReviCo integration to 62%. Synergy effects from the ReviCo integration: strengthen new sales through combined sales capabilities and promote upselling to existing customers; improve customer value and stabilize revenue through comprehensive solutions; expand human resource capacity and improve management efficiency. Evolution into a data utilization platform: aim to shift from sales promotion support to management support, evolving into a data foundation used for management strategy such as customer analysis and product development.
A temporary increase in costs related to ReviCo integration is expected in Q4. SG&A is trending at a high level, limiting room to improve operating leverage. Risks of amortization and impairment accompanying increases in Intangible Assets (software, etc.). Market development outside EC use cases is at an early stage, and progress in new customer acquisition is uncertain. There are many risks and uncertainties in forward-looking statements, and actual operating results may differ materially from forecasts (as stated in the disclaimer).
