Top Management Interview
June 2026,
Taro Hashimoto, CEO
We would like to express our sincere appreciation for your continued support.
For FY2025, both revenue and profit increased compared with the previous fiscal year.
In the Technology segment, revenue and profit increased, driven by the continued strong performance of Akamai services and the achievement of profitability at divx inc.
In the Education segment, although the correspondence high school business recorded declines in both revenue and profit, overall performance improved,
supported by increased revenue and profit in the Japanese language education business, as well as higher revenue and a reduced loss at div inc. Notably, div inc. recorded its first profit since consolidation in the fourth quarter, driven by the expansion of AI education and AI training services.
Net income increased significantly year on year, primarily due to tax benefits associated with the inclusion of div inc. and divx inc. in the group tax sharing system, as well as a decrease in extraordinary losses compared with the previous fiscal year.

For FY2026, Broadmedia Corporation forecasts a decrease in revenue but an increase in profit. Although revenue growth is expected across all segments, the conclusion of the Broadcast segment in FY2025 is expected to result in an overall decline in revenue.
On the profit side, while the Company’s exit from the Broadcast segment is expected to have a negative impact, growth in existing businesses within the Technology segment, together with contributions from div inc. and divx inc., is expected to offset the projected decline in profit from existing businesses in the Education segment, resulting in an overall increase in profit.

For FY2025, the Company initially forecast a dividend of 50 yen per share. However, taking into account recent performance trends and financial position, the Company has revised the dividend upward by 10 yen, and now expects a year-end dividend of 60 yen per share (total return ratio: 54.7%).
For the next fiscal year, based on the earnings forecast, the Company expects to pay a dividend of 65 yen per share (an increase of 5 yen) representing a total return ratio of 52.1%. The Company will continue to provide shareholder returns while maintaining an appropriate balance with investments necessary for growth.

The Company has been reviewing its business portfolio with the aim of achieving growth through sustainable and ethical businesses. By evolving from a “Content x Technology” company into one centered on “Education x Technology x AI,” the Company aims to drive further growth and enhance profitability, targeting an operating profit ratio of 10% and an ROE of 30%.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation to our shareholders for their continued support and understanding.
