Overview of Organizational Restructuring
En Japan Inc. will transfer the engage business, which includes the job site "engage" and recruitment support tools "engage," to a newly established subsidiary, Engage Inc., by absorption-type company split effective April 1, 2026. On the same day, a stock transfer agreement was executed to sell 85.1% of the new company's outstanding shares to Kakaku.com, Inc. As a result, En Japan Inc. will retain a 14.9% stake in the new company and continue to be involved in enhancing corporate value.
Purpose of Transfer and Future Outlook
The company has positioned the two fiscal years from March 2026 to March 2027 as a structural reform period aimed at regrowth, promoting review of the business portfolio and growth investments. Due to intensified competition, the target business requires large-scale investments, making it difficult to achieve growth independently. The company determined that joint business succession with Kakaku.com, Inc. is the optimal strategy and thus decided on the transfer. Special profits are expected in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, and there is no change to the consolidated full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026.
