By restraining the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses despite substantial revenue expansion, strong operating leverage took effect, resulting in earnings growth that significantly outpaced revenue growth. Revenue was ¥7.61B (¥4.63B in the previous year, YoY+64.4%), Operating Income was ¥2.48B (¥0.38B in the previous year, YoY+553.3%), Ordinary Income was ¥2.50B (¥0.40B in the previous year, YoY+523.5%), and Net Income was ¥1.68B (¥0.23B in the previous year, YoY+644.7%). The Operating Income margin improved substantially to 32.6% from 8.2% in the previous year, with cost discipline during the earnings expansion phase being the primary factor driving the increase in the profit margin.
【Revenue】Revenue was ¥7.61B, representing an increase of +64.4% from ¥4.63B in the previous year. The Company operates in a single “Investment and Financial Services” segment and does not disclose a breakdown by segment; however, given the magnitude of the revenue increase, the expansion of revenue opportunities accompanying more active market conditions is considered the primary factor. Non-operating income was a negligible ¥0.02B, indicating that the revenue increase was attributable to expansion in core operating earnings.
【Profit and Loss】Selling, general and administrative expenses were ¥5.10B, increasing only +20.4% year on year and substantially below the +64.4% revenue growth rate. As a result, the SG&A ratio declined to 67.0% from 91.5% in the previous year, indicating progress in fixed-cost dilution. Operating Income was ¥2.48B (YoY+553.3%), while Ordinary Income was ¥2.50B (YoY+523.5%). The impact of non-operating items was minor, and Ordinary Income was broadly consistent with Operating Income. Neither extraordinary gains nor extraordinary losses were recorded, and there was no contribution from temporary factors. Net Income was ¥1.68B (YoY+644.7%), with the normalization of income taxes and other taxes of ¥0.82B (tax burden ratio 32.7%, approximately 45% in the previous year) also supporting growth at the net income level. Overall, the results reflected both revenue and earnings growth, with the emergence of operating leverage accompanying revenue expansion being the primary driver of earnings growth.
【Profitability】The Operating Income margin improved substantially to 32.6% from 8.2% in the previous year, while the Net Income margin also increased to 22.1% from 4.9%. ROE was 5.5%; the sharp improvement in the Net Income margin was the primary driver, while the total asset turnover ratio remained low at 0.129x. 【Cash Quality】Cash and deposits were ¥26.72B, accounting for 45.4% of total assets of ¥58.89B. Current assets of ¥52.45B compared with current liabilities of ¥27.74B resulted in a high current ratio of approximately 189%. 【Investment Efficiency】The total asset turnover ratio of 0.129x reflects the business characteristics of an industry in which cash and current assets comprise the majority of assets. 【Financial Soundness】The Equity Ratio was 52.3%. Interest-bearing debt, consisting of the combined total of short-term borrowings of ¥0.23B and long-term borrowings of ¥0.04B, or ¥0.27B, was extremely small relative to total assets, keeping financial leverage low.
As no cash flow statement has been disclosed, cash flow trends are analyzed based on changes in the balance sheet. Cash and deposits increased by ¥8.91B (+50.0%) from ¥17.82B in the previous year to ¥26.72B, while total assets expanded to ¥58.89B from ¥55.11B in the previous year. On the asset side, accrued income decreased by ¥0.88B from ¥2.77B to ¥1.90B, suggesting progress in the conversion of earnings into cash. On the liabilities side, income taxes payable and other taxes decreased by ¥1.20B from ¥1.85B to ¥0.65B, indicating a cash outflow related to tax payments. In addition, the provision for bonuses declined by ¥0.49B from ¥1.33B to ¥0.83B, suggesting seasonal cash outflows associated with bonus payments. These working capital movements are consistent with the accumulation of cash on hand accompanying earnings growth, indicating that cash generation capacity remains at a favorable level.
Neither extraordinary gains nor extraordinary losses were recorded, and current-period profit reflects a level derived from core operations without temporary factors. Non-operating income was ¥0.02B, representing approximately 0.3% of revenue, while Ordinary Income of ¥2.50B was broadly in line with Operating Income of ¥2.48B, indicating limited distortion in earnings at the ordinary income level. The difference between Ordinary Income and Net Income of ¥1.68B was primarily attributable to income taxes and other taxes of ¥0.82B (tax burden ratio 32.7%), with the divergence limited to tax-related items. Comprehensive income was ¥1.68B (attributable to owners of the parent), broadly matching Net Income of ¥1.68B, and the impact of valuation differences on other securities and adjustments related to retirement benefits was minor. From an accrual perspective, accrued income decreased by ¥0.88B year on year, and the conversion of accrual-based earnings into cash supports earnings quality.
As the Company has not disclosed an earnings forecast for the current period, the dividend forecast remains undetermined. The Company paid a dividend of ¥30 per share in the same period of the previous year; however, there is currently insufficient information to calculate the current-period Payout Ratio. From a financial perspective, the Company has a strong capacity to secure funds for dividends, with cash and deposits of ¥26.72B and interest-bearing debt of ¥0.27B. However, the specific shareholder return policy remains pending future disclosure.
Market Sensitivity Risk: Revenue increased YoY+64.4%, and the Operating Income margin improved sharply from 8.2% in the previous year to 32.6%, indicating a business structure in which earnings levels are highly correlated with market conditions and customer trading activity. If market conditions reverse, profit margin volatility in the opposite direction from the current period may occur.
Concentration in Short-Term Liabilities: Current liabilities of ¥27.74B account for the majority of total liabilities of ¥28.099B, while cash and deposits of ¥26.72B cover 96.3% of current liabilities and the current ratio is approximately 189%. The level of this liquidity buffer should be monitored during periods when funding needs related to settlements increase sharply.
Concentration of Business Composition: The reported business consists of a single “Investment and Financial Services” segment, and diversification of revenue sources has not progressed. The earnings structure remains highly dependent on specific market conditions.

As the growth rate of SG&A expenses (+20.4%) was substantially below the revenue growth rate (+64.4%), the SG&A ratio declined to 67.0% from 91.5% in the previous year, with greater efficiency in the cost structure being the primary factor behind the improvement in the Operating Income margin.
Cash and deposits accumulated to ¥26.72B (+50.0% year on year), while interest-bearing debt was extremely small at ¥0.27B. Together with an Equity Ratio of 52.3%, the Company maintained a conservative financial foundation.
Extraordinary gains and losses were zero, and non-operating income was also minor at approximately 0.3% of revenue, meaning that the majority of current-period profit consisted of earnings generated through expansion of the core business.
