ITmedia Inc. Revises Earnings Forecast: Revenue Expected to Decline by 188 Million Yen
ITmedia Inc. (TSE:2148) has revised its earnings forecast for the fiscal period ending March 31, 2026, citing softer demand in the domestic SaaS sector and increased costs.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 8,500 | 8,311 | △188 |
| Operating Profit | 2,100 | 1,765 | △334 |
| Net Profit | 1,500 | 1,191 | △308 |
| EPS | 77.21 | 61.34 | △15.9% |
The company attributed the downward revision to lower-than-expected revenue from digital events and lead generation services, despite gains in reservation-based advertising and brand solutions. Additionally, higher investment in CMS and data infrastructure, increased advertising expenses for a subsidiary, and M&A advisory costs contributed to lower-than-anticipated operating and net profits.
The revision reflects challenges in the domestic SaaS market and temporary cost pressures, which impacted operational performance. Investors should monitor future developments regarding demand recovery and cost control measures.
