TOKYO, May 14 (Pulse News Wire) – En Inc. (4849.T) reported its fiscal year 2026 fourth quarter results, showing a revenue shortfall compared to initial forecasts but exceeding expectations in operating profit.
According to the company’s disclosure, the consolidated revenue for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, was lower than previously anticipated due to efficiency measures taken within engage, resulting in a decrease of ¥1.04 billion from the forecasted amount. Despite the revenue dip, operational improvements led to a significant increase in operating profit. The company recorded an operating profit of ¥1.47 billion, surpassing the projected figure by ¥400 million. Additionally, the net income attributable to shareholders exceeded projections by ¥830 million, reaching ¥2.983 billion. In comparison to the previous fiscal year, the individual performance metrics also showed notable changes. Revenue declined by ¥1.04 billion, while operating profit dropped significantly by ¥1.04 billion.
Similarly, ordinary profit decreased by ¥1.04 billion, reflecting the impact of reduced sales volumes despite cost-cutting efforts. En Inc.’s president and CEO, Tsutomu Osachi, highlighted the importance of ongoing structural reforms aimed at reducing expenses such as advertising and personnel costs. However, he acknowledged that the reduction in sales volume had a substantial negative effect on profitability. The company noted that the prior year's sale of shares in Timee Co., Ltd. contributed to special gains, which did not recur in the current fiscal year, leading to a sharp decline in net income. Overall, the report underscores the challenges faced in maintaining growth amidst strategic adjustments and market conditions.
