1. FY2026 Earnings Highlights and Major Business Portfolio Restructuring

For the fiscal year ended June 2026, the JDSC Group reported consolidated net sales of 22,833 million yen (down 1.0% YoY) , consolidated operating profit of 640 million yen (up 10.2% YoY) , EBITDA of 764 million yen (up 9.8% YoY) , and net profit attributable to owners of the parent of 809 million yen (up 134.2% YoY) . While net sales saw a slight decline due to the impact of the marketing support business, the core AI Solutions business acted as a powerful driver, resulting in growth in both operating and net profits.

The most significant announcement accompanying the earnings release was the resolution to transfer all shares of its consolidated subsidiary, Mail Customer Center Co., Ltd. (MCC) . Although MCC accounted for a large portion of the group's total sales, the decision was made to optimize the business portfolio to concentrate management resources on the rapidly growing AI and Physical AI sectors, moving away from traditional marketing support such as direct mail.

The chart above illustrates the transition of group performance and the impact of the MCC share transfer. This slide is critical because it clearly demonstrates that the group's growth model has shifted from a traditional "scale-oriented sales accumulation" to a "high-margin structure centered on high-value-added AI businesses." Following the MCC divestiture, a gain on sale of shares of subsidiaries and associates of approximately 450 million yen is expected to be recorded. The funds and management resources generated will be reallocated toward further M&A and growth investments in the AI and Physical AI fields.

2. Performance Trends and Growth Cycle of JDSC Standalone (AI Solutions Business)

JDSC’s core business, JDSC Standalone (AI Solutions) , captured robust demand for DX utilization and AI implementation support, achieving record-high performance in both quarterly and full-year terms. Standalone net sales reached 4,508 million yen (up 58.5% YoY) , and standalone operating profit reached 543 million yen (up 32.1% YoY) , providing a strong profit foundation for the entire group.

This slide depicts the rapid expansion process of JDSC’s standalone performance and organizational scale. While sales fluctuated due to project timing between FY2023 and FY2024, the company achieved sales stabilization from FY2025 onwards. In FY2026, it established a powerful growth cycle where "organizational expansion" directly translates into "sales expansion." The number of full-time employees, including those with job offers, has reached 238 , building a structure where the acquisition of high-level AI talent directly correlates to the scaling of the business.

Looking at the standalone cost structure, while outsourcing and personnel costs increased temporarily due to project expansion, the company continues to invest aggressively for future growth, including 364 million yen in recruitment costs for the fiscal year. With a gross profit margin of 47.1% and a standalone operating profit margin of 12.1% , the company has demonstrated the profitability required to sustain such growth investments.

3. Deepening Strategic Alliances with Major Partners

Playing a crucial role in JDSC’s growth story are Joint R&D and capital/business alliances with leading companies across various industries. By leveraging closed data and developing industry-specific solutions, the company has built barriers to entry that are difficult for competitors to replicate.

• Collaboration with SoftBank : Since the capital and business alliance in November 2025, the scope of collaboration has expanded rapidly, including support for SB OAI Japan’s AI agent development and Physical AI pre-sales support for SoftBank Group customers. Cumulative sales via the SoftBank Group are projected to reach 851 million yen by Q1 of FY2027.
• Collaboration with SCSK : The partnership has progressed from cross-selling to joint solution development and the establishment of an integrated structure. Projects have commenced in AI utilization for quality control and development for major automotive manufacturers, as well as the first project in the BDX (Business Digital Transformation) business, with cumulative alliance sales growing to 831 million yen (projected for Q1 FY2027).
• Collaboration with Daifuku : Under a strategic partnership with material handling leader Daifuku, the companies have initiated joint research on robotics and Physical AI . They are promoting advanced AI development for company-wide business transformation and revising human resource development programs (D-Adapt) to align with the generative AI era.
• Other Advanced Implementations : In the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and NEDO’s "GENIAC" project, the maritime AI agent "AI Banto" won 2nd place (40 million yen prize) . Additionally, the start of supply chain optimization projects through a partnership with global SCM vendor RELEX highlights the high evaluation of the company’s technical sophistication and effectiveness.

4. Capital Policy and Alignment with National Policy Themes

Regarding capital policy, the company has effectively executed third-party allotments to strategic alliance partners while ensuring appropriate market liquidity (free-float ratio). As of the end of June 2026, alliance partners such as SoftBank, SCSK, Daikin Industries, Chubu Electric Power, and AZ-COM Maruwa Holdings held 19% of the company’s shares, confirming a long-term partnership from a capital perspective as well.

Furthermore, the company’s initiatives are deeply linked to solving social issues in Japan and national policy themes:

1. Smart Factory & Manufacturing DX : Implementation of failure monitoring and predictive detection AI at Daikin Industries and Taiho Pharmaceutical.
2. 2024 Logistics Problem & Maritime Policy : Leveling transport volumes with Kirin and Asahi Soft Drinks, and man-hour forecasting/shift optimization at Senko.
3. GX & Regional Implementation : Smart agriculture and commercial solar development with Iwate Bank and NTT East, and livestock digital twin construction in Hiroshima Prefecture.
4. Administrative DX : Contracted for the Digital Agency’s subsidy application system and G-Biz Portal for three consecutive years.

5. FY2027 Earnings Outlook and Future Vision

With the divestiture of the subsidiary MCC, the consolidated financial figures for FY2027 will undergo a major structural change.

The slide above shows the consolidated full-year earnings forecast for FY2027. The most important takeaway from this data is that while there is a superficial decline in net sales (11.0 billion yen, down 51.8% YoY) due to the exclusion of MCC, the core AI Solutions business will continue to achieve extremely high growth, with sales projected at 7.0 billion yen (up 55.3% YoY).

In terms of profitability, as low-margin businesses are divested, consolidated operating profit is expected to reach 950 million yen (up 48.2% YoY) , and the consolidated operating profit margin is projected to improve dramatically from 2.8% to 8.6% . Net profit is also expected to exceed the 1 billion yen milestone, reaching 1,050 million yen (up 29.7% YoY).

Summary

For JDSC, FY2026 was a pivotal year in which the company simultaneously achieved record-high standalone performance and a bold portfolio restructuring through the sale of a subsidiary. With a pipeline of high-unit-price, high-value-added projects expanding through deepened collaboration with strategic partners like SoftBank and SCSK, the company is expected to further clarify its identity as a "leading company in high-growth, high-profit AI/Physical AI."
