The company attributed the revision to outperformance in its accounting services division, where new customer acquisition through life insurance sales channels exceeded plan. Additionally, consulting business revenue from subsidy application support services surpassed forecasts. Management also cited cost discipline, with AI-driven operational efficiency improvements reducing outsourcing expenses. Revenue remained broadly in line with initial guidance at JPY 20.8bn, reflecting a marginal 0.3% decline.

The upward revision signals meaningful margin expansion despite flat topline growth. Operating profit jumped 23.2% to JPY 3.86bn, while net profit attributable to parent company shareholders surged 35.3% to JPY 2.83bn, with earnings per share rising to JPY 191.02/share from JPY 141.22/share. The disproportionate profit growth relative to revenue suggests improved operational leverage and successful cost management, positioning F&M favorably for the remainder of its fiscal year.
