Net sales increased 28.2% year-over-year to ¥12,283 million in Q1 FY2025, with strong growth across all segments and gross profit up 29.8% to ¥10,792 million; gross margin improved to 87.9%.
Adjusted operating profit surged 178.8% year-over-year to ¥578 million, with margin improving by 2.5 points to 4.7%, despite increased advertising expenses.
Net profit rebounded, returning to positive territory due to the absence of one-time stock compensation expenses and lower share-based payment expenses.
Both subscription and monthly recurring sales per subscription remained strong, with profit generation advancing even with growth investments.

ARR exceeded ¥43.7 billion as of August 2025.
Ordinary profit was ¥528 million (vs. -¥329 million YoY); EPS was ¥2.36 (vs. -¥2.96 YoY).
Operating profit reached ¥527 million, compared to a loss of ¥325 million in the same quarter last year.
Total assets decreased to ¥43,726 million, down ¥4,257 million from the previous fiscal year-end; net assets declined to ¥14,970 million.
Gross profit margin improved by 1.2 points year-over-year, mainly due to operational efficiency in Bill One.
Outlook and guidance
Full-year forecasts for FY2025 remain unchanged, targeting net sales of ¥52,707–54,003 million (+22.0% to +25.0% YoY) and adjusted operating profit of ¥6,851–8,640 million (+92.7% to +143.0% YoY).
Medium-term policy aims for a 22–27% CAGR in net sales through FY2026 and an adjusted operating profit margin of 18–23% by FY2026.
Profit recognition is expected to be back-loaded, with 75% of annual profit planned for the second half due to front-loaded advertising spend.
Advertising budget for the year is set at ¥6.5 billion, with spending to be distributed evenly or slightly weighted toward Q4.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
