TOKYO, Jan 30, 2026 (JCN Newswire via COMTEX) - Ekitan & Co., Ltd. (Code: 3646, Tokyo Growth Market), announced today that its board of directors has approved a new medium-term management plan covering fiscal years 2026 through 2028. The company will discontinue the previous mid-term business plan disclosed on June 27, 2024.
The new medium-term management plan aims to enhance the effectiveness of business strategies by closely aligning executive decision-making processes with frontline operations. This initiative follows the establishment of a new management system on June 25, 2025, which prioritized strengthening ties between management and operational staff. Key measures include revising decision-making procedures to better incorporate insights from field personnel and transitioning from full remote work to hybrid working arrangements to improve internal communication.
Under this new framework, the company launched an enterprise-wide "reform project" led by department heads. Through bottom-up discussions based on feedback from employees, the company is reorganizing its business strategy and formulating the new medium-term management plan. The goal is to create a sustainable growth foundation where every employee can actively participate in achieving the company's objectives.
Ekitan plans to leverage its domestic media platform as a core strength, aiming to stabilize revenue streams and achieve continuous growth over three years starting from fiscal year 2026. Specific initiatives under the plan include reinforcing the domestic media base, developing next-generation growth strategies, and implementing portfolio strategies. For instance, the company intends to supply various articles continuously to its domestic media platform and expand product lines that complement each other. Additionally, it will promote B-to-B business proposals using deep industry connections and data expertise within the transportation sector.
Financial targets outlined in the new plan include increasing consolidated sales revenues progressively from 3.04 billion yen in fiscal year 2027 to 3.16 billion yen in fiscal year 2028 and reaching 3.37 billion yen by fiscal year 2029. Operating profits are projected to move from a deficit of 110 million yen in fiscal year 2027 to a profit of 10 million yen in fiscal year 2028, further improving to 110 million yen in fiscal year 2029.
Moreover, the company will introduce a dividend policy based on stable earnings criteria and establish a shareholder benefits program, with detailed information scheduled for release in February 2026. These strategic moves underscore Ekitan's commitment to maximizing corporate value and enhancing shareholder returns while fostering long-term growth.
