TOKYO, Apr 14 (Pulse News Wire) – Alink Internet,inc. (7077.T) reported its fiscal earnings for the year ending February 28, 2026, showing a significant difference compared to previous forecasts.
The company's operating profit was revised down by 5.6%, while net income per share fell below expectations by ¥193. In detail, the company’s consolidated revenue forecast was adjusted from ¥962 million to ¥1.015 billion, with operating profit dropping from -¥132 million to --¥94 million. Net profit also saw a decline, falling from --¥79 million to --¥272 million.
This downward revision was primarily attributed to a strategic shift in the company’s approach towards monetizing its “Pokka App.” Initially planned as a paid application, the app now operates free-of-charge to expand user base, focusing instead on ancillary revenues such as merchandise sales and event income. As a result, the company recorded a non-recurring loss of ¥176 million related to goodwill impairment. ALiNK Internet emphasized that despite the immediate impact on profitability, the long-term strategy prioritizes customer value maximization through diversified revenue streams rather than relying solely on direct app payments.
The company remains committed to expanding its business footprint and enhancing overall revenue structures moving forward.
