Baby Calendar reports strong fiscal 2025 results, outlines growth strategies for 2026

TOKYO, Jul 31 (Pulse News Wire) – Baby Calendar Inc. (7363.T) reported robust fiscal 2025 performance, achieving significant revenue and profit growth across media and medical institution businesses.

The company projects a slight decline in revenues and profits for fiscal 2026 due to the cessation of some video content monetization but expects underlying business fundamentals to continue expanding. In addressing a previous CFO's misappropriation of advertising revenue discovered in January 2026, the firm established a special investigation committee on January 30, 2026 and initiated external expert investigations in February. The report was disclosed on April 3, confirming limited fraudulent activities. As a result, the December 2025 earnings announcement was delayed by three months.

To prevent future incidents and strengthen internal controls, Baby Calendar implemented measures such as thorough reconciliation of revenue, receivables, and cash inflows, reviewed duty segregation and approval rights, and enhanced IT authority management. The company also increased accounting personnel, reinforced internal audit functions, and improved whistleblower systems. For fiscal 2026, Baby Calendar plans to diversify its revenue streams through various media models while expanding services for postnatal care facilities and leveraging AI technology. The company anticipates continued growth driven by multiple revenue sources and strategic investments, aiming for sustainable expansion beyond 2026.
