Earnings Report

Media Research Institute,Inc. <9242> [TSE Growth] announced its financial results in the afternoon session on June 6th (15:00). The consolidated ordinary profit for the cumulative third quarter of the fiscal year ending July 2025 (August 2024 to April 2025) increased 22.5% from the same period last year, reaching 359 million yen. Progress toward the full-year plan of 295 million yen is 121.7%, but it was lower than the four-year average of 135.7%.

Based on the cumulative third-quarter performance announced by the company and the unchanged full-year plan, our calculation indicates that the consolidated ordinary loss for the May to July period (4Q) is expected to further decrease loss of 64 million yen (compared to a loss of 100 million yen in the same period last year). However, if the fourth-quarter performance remains at the same level as the first three quarters, the full-year plan may be increased.

At the same time, the company, which had previously planned no dividend for the current fiscal year, has decided to implement a year-end lump-sum dividend of 20 yen (compared to no dividend in the prior term).

In the most recent three-month period, from February to April (3Q), the consolidated ordinary profit/loss turned to a loss of 136 million yen (compared to a profit of 29 million yen in the same period last year). The operating profit/loss margin drastically worsened from 10.3% in the same period last year to -72.5%.
