The company attributed the sharp downward revision to three primary factors: higher-than-expected shareholder incentive uptake requiring additional provisions; production delays at subsidiary Seas Factory reducing sales; and declining student enrollment in medical entrance exam courses at Fujisan Academia Group. Management also announced increased M&A-driven investments to accelerate business development and exit strategies in its EdTech segment.
The revision signals near-term operational challenges, with interim net profit collapsing to zero. However, management’s emphasis on strategic M&A and business restructuring suggests confidence in recovery prospects beyond 2027, positioning the company as a turnaround play for investors willing to tolerate near-term earnings volatility.
