New Risk • May 14
New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: JP¥15.7b (US$99.6m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Latest financial reports are more than 1 year old (reported March 2015 fiscal period end).

Asahi Net, Inc. Revises Non-Consolidated Earnings Guidance for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2026 Asahi Net, Inc. revised non-consolidated earnings guidance for the Fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. For the period, the company expects net sales of JPY 13,400 million, Operating profit of JPY 1,725 million, Profit of JPY 1,217 million, and Basic earnings per share of JPY 46.74 against previous guidance of net sales of JPY 13,500 million, Operating profit of JPY 2,350 million, Profit of JPY 1,659 million, and Basic earnings per share of JPY 61.79.
Reason for the revision; As for the full-year forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, the Company has revised its net sales forecasts downward to JPY 13,400 million, a decrease of JPY 100 million. As of the end of December 2025, the number of FTTH connection service subscriptions increased by 19,000 IDs, compared to the end of the same period of the previous year. However, reflecting the expected temporary increase in the number of corporate customer withdrawals until the end of March 2026, the Company has revised net sales forecasts downward by JPY 100 million. Forecasts of operating profit and ordinary profit have been revised downward because cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to be higher than planned. Regarding cost of sales, depreciation increased due to higher capital expenditures than initially planned. In addition, cost of sales increased because some related expenses were recorded as expenses instead of capital expenditures. As to selling, general and administrative expenses, advertising expenses increased as a result of efforts to further strengthen FTTH connection service membership acquisition, which was more efficient than planned.
