TOKYO, Mar 17 (Pulse News Wire) – Hakuten Corporation (2173.T) unveiled its three-year medium-term management plan (FY2026–FY2028), targeting revenue of ¥31.0 billion and operating profit of ¥3.0 billion by FY2028, implying an operating margin of 9.7%. Net profit attributable to parent company shareholders is targeted at ¥2.098 billion.

The plan is organised around three strategic pillars: (1) strengthening customer-facing value through data-driven experience design and sustainability integration; (2) renewing operational foundations via management system upgrades, HR platform reforms, and organisational restructuring; and (3) pursuing non-linear growth through entry into consumer-facing segments, overseas expansion, and M&A and capital partnerships. KPIs include operating profit margin improvement and per-capita added-value growth.

On capital allocation, the company will prioritise growth investment (targeting 40% of operating cash flow) alongside a stable dividend payout ratio of approximately 30%, targeting ROE above the cost of equity and managing the equity ratio in a 30–50% range under normal conditions.
