TOKYO, May 15 (Pulse News Wire) – Writeup CO.,LTD. (6580.T) reported lower-than-expected earnings for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, due to significant special losses.
The company recorded a non-lower operating profit of ¥74 million related to goodwill impairment of its subsidiary AKARI Corporation. Additionally, individual losses included a decrease in equity investment valuation of ¥83 million, provisions for doubtful debts of ¥115 million, and provisions for affiliate business losses of ¥2 million. In comparison to previous forecasts released on May 15, 2025, the consolidated revenue decreased by 21.6%, operating profit fell by 37.5%, ordinary profit dropped by 34.0%, and net income attributable to parent shareholders declined by 49.8%.
Individual performance also showed a decline, with revenue down by 10.8%, operating profit reduced by 20.7%, ordinary profit falling by 18.5%, and net income dropping by 49.9%. The reasons for the discrepancies include poor performance by AKARI Corporation within the AI solutions division, which did not meet expectations, and existing main services such as “J Consult,” “J System,” and “JD Net” failing to achieve projected sales levels. Despite efforts to control expenses, the downturn in sales led to lower than anticipated profits across the board.
The inclusion of the goodwill impairment charge further exacerbated the shortfall in net income.
