Ceres Inc. Financial Presentation Materials (Q3, November 12, 2026)

Performance Overview

Consolidated revenue for the cumulative Q3 of 2026 was 27.93 hundred million yen (YoY +25.5%), operating income was 3.07 hundred million yen (YoY +58.2%), and EBITDA was 6.27 hundred million yen (YoY +27.7%), showing significant growth. Strong performance in the Points business drove profit expansion, and while investments in D2C continue, overall profitability improved. Yumemi (DX) has been excluded from consolidation. One-off factors such as gains on sale of marketable securities also affected results.

Shareholder Returns and Financial Strategy

Shareholder returns include an annual dividend of 90 yen per share and a planned share buyback totaling 3.0 hundred million yen. Part of the buyback has already been completed (approximately 0.5 hundred million yen), with the acquisition period set from 2026/10/2 to 2027/9/30. In the revised outlook for fiscal year ending December 2026, special gains such as BB are expected to be recorded of approximately 3.2 hundred million yen. This will strengthen the financial base and support the target of ROE above 15% in the 2030 medium-term plan.
