MEDIA DO Co.,Ltd. [3678.T]
TOKYO, Feb 27 (Pulse News Wire) – Media DO CO.,LTD. (3678.T) reported strong revenue growth for its fiscal 2026 third quarter, driven by robust performance in its ebook distribution business.
Linked sales increased by 6.7% compared to the same period last year, while operating profit rose by 12.9% due to improvements in strategic investment operations, particularly IP-Solution services. In the ebook distribution sector, existing channels grew by 5.7%, surpassing the previous year's rate of 4.0%. New channel growth was also significant, reaching 2.6%, primarily fueled by new partnerships such as those with mechaComic starting in July. Strategic investments saw a reduction in losses by ¥340 million compared to the prior year, attributed mainly to reforms at Nihon Bungeisha and increased revenues from Flyer’s contracts.
However, despite these improvements, the overall strategic investment division remains below expectations for the fiscal year. Looking ahead, MEDIA DO plans to continue focusing on organic growth and expanding its international reach through initiatives like MDTS, a multi-language translation system powered by AI. The company targets achieving a consolidated revenue of ¥23.10 billion and operating income of ¥1.530 billion by fiscal 2030, based on its five-year mid-term plan launched in April 2025. For shareholder returns, MEDIA DO intends to maintain a payout ratio exceeding 30% for fiscal 2026, aiming to enhance shareholder value alongside sustainable corporate development.
