Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results

Revenue

Revenue was JPY243.2 million ($1.8 million) for fiscal year 2023, which increased by 8% from JPY224.7 million for fiscal year 2022, because the Company mainly focused on one significant market campaign service in the durables vertical in fiscal year 2023, which comprises 88% of the revenue for fiscal year 2023. The Company transitioned to focusing on its marketing campaign services and reduced the offering of miscellaneous services compared to previous years.

Gross Profit

Cost of revenue was JPY2.1 million ($0.02 million) for fiscal year 2023, which decreased by 17% from JPY2.5 million for fiscal year 2022, mainly due to the decrease in variable costs, which are primarily comprised of insurance premiums paid for participant users in campaigns and system development costs in the fiscal year 2022. As the Company focused on a few significant projects during the fiscal year 2023, insurance costs and labor costs were lower this year.

Gross profit was JPY241.1 million ($1.8 million) for fiscal year 2023, which increased by 9% from JPY222.2 million for fiscal year 2022.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were JPY188.5 million ($1.4 million) for fiscal year 2023, which decreased by 40% from JPY312.1 million for fiscal year 2022, primarily due to a decrease in stock compensation expenses and professional fees.

Income (Loss) from Operations

Income from operations was JPY52.6 million ($0.4 million) for fiscal year 2023, compared to loss from operations of JPY89.8 million for fiscal year 2022.

Other (Expenses) Income, net

Other expenses were JPY11.3 million ($0.09 million) for fiscal year 2023, compared to JPY7.2 million for fiscal year 2022, primarily due to increases in foreign currency losses because of the depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollars and the increase in foreign currency remittances compared to the prior fiscal years. This was partially offset by interest income.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income was JPY41.3 million ($0.3 million), compared to a net loss of JPY97.1 million for fiscal year 2022, primarily due to the increase in revenue and significant decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share was JPY2.06 ($0.016) and JPY1.95 ($0.015), respectively, compared to a basic and diluted loss per share of JPY4.85 for fiscal year 2022.

Non-GAAP EBITDA

Non-GAAP EBITDA was JPY71.8 million ($0.5 million), compared to negative Non-GAAP EBITDA of JPY5.0 million for fiscal year 2022, due to the increase in revenue, the significant decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses, and an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses, which were added back to net income to calculate Non-GAAP EBITDA.

Balance Sheets

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of JPY1.7 million ($0.01 million), compared to JPY14.0 million as of March 31, 2022.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities was JPY41.7 million ($0.3 million) for fiscal year 2023, compared to JPY79.6 million for fiscal year 2022.

Cash used in investing activity was JPY8.7 million ($0.1 million) for fiscal year 2023, compared to JPY20.8 million for fiscal year 2022.

Net cash used in financing activities was JPY46.4 million ($0.3 million) for fiscal year 2023, compared to JPY60.1 million for fiscal year 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company also provides Non-GAAP EBITDA and its ratio to revenue, Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin, each of which are financial measures that are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Management considers Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin to be measures of performance which provide useful information to both management and investors as an additional tool to use in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. The Company also believes that Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin are used by some investors as a way to measure a company’s ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures, and meet working capital requirements. However, you should be aware that non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures; they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company’s U.S. GAAP financial information. The Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP information which may be presented by other companies. In all cases, it should be understood that non-GAAP operating measures do not depict amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders.

The Company defines Non-GAAP EBITDA as net income plus other income, other loss, interest expenses, share-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization expenses. Non-GAAP EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income or other measures under U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP EBITDA is not calculated identically by all companies and, therefore, the Company’s measures of Non-GAAP EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company defines Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin as the percentage derived from dividing Non-GAAP EBITDA for a period by total revenue for the same period.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this announcement are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on the Company’s current expectations and projections about future events that the Company believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Investors can find many (but not all) of these statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “target,” “goal,” or other similar expressions in this prospectus. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent occurring events or circumstances, or changes in its expectations, except as may be required by law. Although the Company believes that the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot assure you that such expectations will turn out to be correct, and the Company cautions investors that actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results and encourages investors to review other factors that may affect its future results in the Company’s registration statement and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
