TOKYO, May 14 (Pulse News Wire) – AnyMind Group Inc. (5027.T) reported strong revenue growth for its fiscal first quarter ending December 2026, surpassing initial forecasts.
Sales revenues grew by 40.3% compared to the same period last year, while gross profit increased by 39.2%. Operating profit stood at ¥193 million (down from ¥298 million in the previous year). Despite a slight decrease in operating profit due to higher fixed costs from investments and prior-year special factors, the overall performance exceeded internal targets. The company also highlighted robust organic growth across all regions, particularly in its key brand support services, which accounted for 76% of total gross profits.
Notably, sales revenues reached 25% and gross profits hit 23% in the first quarter, despite challenges from environmental changes in certain markets. Additionally, AnyMind Group decided to repurchase up to ¥500 million worth of shares based on its ongoing profitability and solid financial position. The move aims to enhance shareholder returns through dividend payments and share buybacks, improve earnings per share (EPS), and facilitate future acquisitions. Regarding cost management, the company noted significant increases in personnel expenses and IT-related fees, primarily driven by recent mergers and acquisitions.
However, these expenses remained controlled relative to revenue growth rates, with efforts focused on improving operational efficiency through AI integration and productivity enhancements.
