CFO Message
To Our Shareholders and Investors,
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support. Following the
announcement of our consolidated financial results for FY2025, we are pleased to report on the
Group’s financial position and future outlook.
Introduction
Senior Managing Director, Chief Financial Officer,
General Manager of Management Division
In this fiscal year, we recorded a net loss of 2.106 billion yen as a result of
booking extraordinary losses aimed at strengthening our future business foundation and
mitigating risks. We deeply apologize for any concern this may cause our shareholders and
investors, and we would like to thoroughly explain the background and our perspective on
this matter.
These extraordinary losses were primarily incurred to optimize our asset holdings and reform
our business structure, and they do not involve significant immediate cash outflows. Key
performance indicators of our actual business activities in the sports club business, such
as membership numbers and net sales, remained positive year-on-year, allowing us to secure
profitability up to the ordinary profit level. Furthermore, operating cash flow generated by
our business activities was 4.1 billion yen, an increase of 0.6 billion yen from the
previous fiscal year, demonstrating our highly sound cash-generating capability. Although
our equity ratio will temporarily decline, I would like to emphasize first and foremost that
our financial security remains uncompromised by these extraordinary losses.
Current Management Environment and Growth Opportunities
The management environment remains highly uncertain. Globally, unpredictable
conditions persist, driven by prolonged geopolitical risks and volatile resource prices.
Domestically, Japan has reached a turning point from its long-standing deflationary trend,
with rapid inflation now underway. While the Bank of Japan's shift back to a
"world with interest rates" potentially impacts funding costs, the persistently
weak yen and elevated prices translate into higher raw material and energy costs, continuing
to pressure corporate earnings. Moreover, structural labor shortages and intensifying
competition for talent are driving upward pressure on wages, making the optimization of our
cost structure a more critical priority than ever.
Conversely, the rapid aging of the domestic population has driven social demand for
extending healthy life expectancies and enhancing the quality of nursing care services to
unprecedented levels. We view this as a significant growth opportunity for our Group. The
government is also actively promoting "preventive medicine" and
"community-based integrated care," leading to clear expansion in the health
maintenance and nursing care support markets. Furthermore, consumer values are increasingly
shifting toward "health" and "well-being," with growing expectations for
services that incorporate regular exercise and rehabilitation.
Overview of Financial Results for FY2025
Consolidated net sales for FY2025 reached 64.9 billion yen, representing 101.9%
of the previous year's figure. We secured a consolidated operating profit of 1.565
billion yen and an ordinary profit of 0.795 billion yen. Please note that this operating
profit includes 0.27 billion yen in temporary expenses, such as M&A-related costs and
losses associated with accounting changes following the Oasis merger.
Net income attributable to owners of the parent resulted in a net loss of 2.106 billion yen
due to the extraordinary losses detailed below.
In the sports club business, enrollments remained steady from the second quarter onwards. As
of March 2026, the number of enrolled members at existing clubs stood at 101.7%
year-on-year, and sales reached 103.9%, both exceeding the previous year's performance.
For the two new facilities opened this fiscal year, we recorded an operating loss of 0.258
billion yen due to initial opening expenses; however, this is fully aligned with our initial
investment plan, and we anticipate their positive contribution to earnings going
forward.
Regarding the home fitness business, our "Stepper" series, which achieved
stronger-than-expected sales last year, has been recovering from the temporary impact of the
brand transition from Oasis to Renaissance implemented in the second half of the previous
year, and we have been working to accelerate sales momentum. Additionally, our new product
"Styly Face," launched in September to support both facial care and swallowing
function improvement, has been well-received via TV shopping channels and contributed to
full-year earnings.
In the nursing care rehabilitation business, we opened a total of six new facilities in
FY2025: four directly managed and two franchise facilities. As part of our growth strategy,
we also acquired 100% of the shares of Kaedenokaze Co., Ltd. on December 1st, making it a
wholly owned subsidiary. This company operates 13 directly managed and 23 franchise day-care
facilities nationwide, providing critical support to users with relatively high nursing care
needs. This acquisition enables us to address the health challenges of a demographic we
could not previously reach. We will continue to actively pursue M&A to further expand
this business. Consequently, sales in the nursing care rehabilitation business for FY2025
reached 2.467 billion yen, or 122.1% of the previous year's figure. (Note: The
contribution of Kaedenokaze Co., Ltd. to consolidated net sales is limited to the three
months of the fourth quarter.)
Background and Purpose of Extraordinary and Impairment Losses
The primary factor behind the net loss for this fiscal year is the recording of
the following extraordinary losses.
The recent surge in various costs has significantly impacted the operations of our sports
club business. In particular, the continuous rise in real estate rents for clubs located in
urban centers has severely squeezed operational profitability.
Store closing costs associated with business structure reform: Approx. 1.6 billion
yen
We have decided to close six clubs (including the Ebisu Club, which closed at the end of
March 2026) that were deemed unlikely to return to profitability, primarily due to
escalating fixed costs. Accordingly, we recorded 1.6 billion yen as an extraordinary loss.
By swiftly divesting from unprofitable operations and reallocating management resources to
highly profitable areas, we aim to fortify our future financial structure and enhance
overall profitability. The specific closing dates for the remaining five clubs will be
determined based on our future business plans to ensure optimal timing.
Impairment loss: Approx. 2.0 billion yen
Profitability among existing sports clubs is increasingly polarizing due to shifts in the
market environment and regional characteristics. While some clubs are performing
exceptionally well and significantly outperforming the previous year, others have struggled
to absorb rising inflationary costs.
Given these circumstances, we recorded an impairment loss of 2.0 billion yen (including
asset retirement obligations) across 32 clubs (excluding those slated for closure) where we
determined that recovering our investments is currently unfeasible. This measure allows us
to objectively reassess future asset values and recognize risks at an early stage. Although
former Sports Oasis clubs account for more than half of these facilities, this represents a
strategic decision to accelerate business structure reforms—including system
integration—during the current PMI (Post-Merger Integration) phase. By completing system
integration and driving operational efficiencies, we will aggressively promote profitability
improvements at these locations.
While realizing these extraordinary losses inevitably impacts our short-term results, we ask
for your understanding that these are proactive management decisions. They are essential for
fundamentally restructuring our Group's revenue base and ensuring sustainable growth
through the optimization of our business portfolio, withdrawal from unprofitable ventures,
and enhancement of asset efficiency.
2026-2030Medium-Term Management Plan
Today, our Group announced a new Medium-Term Management Plan covering the period
from 2026 to 2030, along with a long-term vision looking ahead to 2035.
During our previous Medium-Term Management Plan, we confronted the harsh reality of
increasing revenues coupled with declining profits. We experienced delays in adapting our
business structure to environmental changes and saw an increase in unprofitable facilities
unable to sustain a high-cost structure. We now acutely recognize that our previous
assumptions—namely, "maintaining the number of sports club facilities through sales
efforts" and relying on a "revenue structure dependent on sports clubs"—are
no longer viable in the current socio-economic landscape.
Under our new Medium-Term Management Plan, we will execute fundamental business structure
reforms and growth strategies under the guiding principle of "breaking away from
dependence on sports clubs."
<Revenue and Expenditure Structure Reform in the Sports Club
Business>
We will elevate our value proposition from merely a "place to exercise" to a
"place to enrich life." We will strive to diversify our revenue streams, broaden
our target demographics, and rigorously reduce costs (e.g., eliminating unprofitable
facilities and services, and driving efficiency through digital transformation [DX]) to
ensure profitability across all facilities.
<Peripheral Areas of Sports Clubs>
Leveraging our extensive know-how and assets, we will expand our Public-Private Partnership
(PPP) business, regional health promotion initiatives, and BtoB solutions business.
- Home Fitness Business: We will expand our focus beyond exercise equipment into the domains of "rest, beauty, and nutrition," target inactive consumer segments, and strengthen our overarching revenue base.
- Nursing Care Rehabilitation Business: In addition to scaling "Genki
Gym," we will evolve our business model to address severe care needs by
integrating
"Kaedenokaze" as a subsidiary. We will also actively leverage M&A to
accelerate growth.
These businesses will closely collaborate with the sports club business to generate robust synergies.
<Restraining and Optimizing Headquarters Costs>
We will transform our business processes through the aggressive adoption of digital
technology and AI, ensuring that headquarters costs are restrained and optimized even as our
business scale expands.
In anticipation of new lease accounting standards, we will rigorously scrutinize investments and reduce interest-bearing debt, placing the highest priority on repairing our financial structure.
This plan designated FY2026-2027 as "Phase 1: Prioritizing the recovery of our financial structure" and FY2028-2030 as "Phase 2: Transitioning to investment for re-growth and active shareholder returns," with the ultimate goal of maximizing corporate value in strategic stages.
For FY2030, the final year of this Medium-Term Management Plan, we have established the following consolidated financial targets:
- Net Sales: 77.0 billion yen
- Operating Profit: 3.5 billion yen
- Operating Profit Margin: 4.5%
- ROE (Return on Equity): 10%
- ROIC (Return on Invested Capital): 6% (Assuming WACC of 4-5%)
- Dividend Payout Ratio: 40%
- Equity Ratio: 20.5% (excluding the impact of adopting new lease accounting standards)
Rather than merely pursuing top-line growth, we are shifting to a management
approach that maximizes capital efficiency by generating returns that exceed our cost of
capital. Concurrently, we will strictly confine investments within our generated operating
cash flow, embedding a management culture thoroughly focused on profitability and cash
flow.
Regarding cash allocation, of the 26.0 billion yen in operating cash flow projected over the
next five years, we will allocate 14.0 billion yen to reduce interest-bearing debt, 10.0
billion yen to business investments, and 2.0 billion yen to shareholder returns (targeting a
dividend payout ratio of 40%). Furthermore, should operating cash flow exceed our
projections, our policy is to prioritize additional shareholder returns.
Long-Term Vision (~2035): Evolution into a Well-being Co-creation Company
Guided by our corporate philosophy, "A company creating purpose in
life," we are evolving our long-term vision from a "Health Solutions Company that
enriches the 100-year life era" to a "Well-being Co-creation Company for the
100-year life era." By connecting people through sports and healthcare and co-creating
a sense of purpose, we will contribute to solving critical social issues, including health
across all generations, vitality for seniors, comprehensive nursing and medical care
support, and the fostering of local communities.
By FY2035, we target net sales of 100.0 billion yen and an operating profit of 5.0 billion
yen. We aim to realize a radical transformation of our business portfolio, where businesses
outside of traditional sports clubs account for 50% of total sales. Through this
transformation, we will establish a highly lean and resilient revenue structure, solidifying
our path to sustainable growth.
To achieve this sweeping transformation into the "New Renaissance" and secure our
sustainable growth, we will press forward with relentless determination as a unified
company. We sincerely ask for your continued understanding and unwavering support.
