True Data <4416> announced its financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending in March 2025 (April-September 24). Revenue decreased by 2.3% year-on-year to 0.767 billion yen, operating profit was 0.038 billion yen (compared to a loss of 0.019 billion yen in the same period last year), ordinary profit was 3.8 billion yen (compared to a loss of 0.02 billion yen), and net income for the interim period was 0.006 billion yen (compared to a loss of 0.022 billion yen).
The company specializes in providing solutions for retail companies and consumer goods manufacturers to utilize consumer purchasing big data from drugstores, supermarkets, and other retail stores nationwide for marketing. The company's business area is expected to have medium- to long-term growth due to the tailwind of mega-trends such as societal transformation using big data and digital transformation (DX) by companies. Benefiting from this tailwind, the company continues to expand and deepen its customer base among retail companies and consumer goods manufacturers, sustaining its growth trend.
During the interim accounting period, the company continued the growth of its main service “Eagle Eye” for consumer goods manufacturers. Efforts to acquire new clients for the retail industry service "Shopping Scan" were also underway. These core services operate on a monthly subscription-based fee for cloud-based services, ensuring a stable stock-based revenue foundation. Implementation of services for contracted clients and acquisition of new clients from major retailers have been successful. Large-scale projects, including AI investment from major retailers, require a certain period for service implementation, with revenue contributions expected to begin from the fourth quarter of this fiscal year onwards. Simultaneously, efforts to review high-cost projects have been carried out. While revenue declined during this interim accounting period, a positive impact is anticipated in the medium term as a result of these initiatives.
For the full year forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2025, revenue is forecasted to be 1.791 billion yen, up 12.4% from the previous year, operating profit is forecasted to be 0.1 billion yen, up 56.4% from the previous year, ordinary profit is forecasted to be 0.098 billion yen, up 57.6% from the previous year, and net income is planned to be the same as the initial plan, up 46.5% to 0.087 billion yen.
