  • Operating profit was JPY788.7 million (US$4.9 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, an increase of 0.5% from JPY784.9 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025.
  • Net income was JPY612.9 million (US$3.8 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, compared to JPY708.8 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025.
  • Net income attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders was JPY620.0 million (US$3.9 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, compared to JPY702.9 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025.

Diluted earnings per share were JPY9.81 (US$0.06) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, compared with JPY12.55 for the six months ended August 31, 2025.

Mr. Kenji Narushima, Founder, Representative Director, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Micware, commented, “We achieved steady revenue growth and a significant improvement in gross profit margin during the first half of the fiscal year ending February 28, 2027. Revenue increased by 3.4% year over year to JPY10,612.7 million, while gross profit increased by 19.5%, with gross profit margin improving by 4.9 percentage points to 36.3%. Operating profit increased slightly by 0.5% year over year to JPY788.7 million, the limited increase primarily reflecting the recognition of a one-time, non-cash share-based compensation expense of JPY292.3 million, as well as our strategic acceleration of research and development investment, particularly in DynaPlanet, to support future growth. Research and development expenses increased by JPY310.0 million, or 59.7%, year over year as we advanced DynaPlanet’s services and platform in accordance with our multi-year development roadmap. After adjusting for share-based compensation expenses and certain expenses related to our initial public offering (“IPO”), adjusted operating profit increased by 33.4% year over year to JPY1,100.5 million.

“With respect to our first growth strategy, our evolution from an in-vehicle infotainment (“IVI”) player into a software-defined vehicle (“SDV”) player, a major SDV development program progressed from an existing project to a successor project involving higher-value-added upstream development activities, which entered the full-scale development phase. This progress, together with our deepening customer relationships, contributed to growth in SDV-related revenue and an improvement in gross profit margin. We believe this demonstrates steady progress in our strategy of leveraging the technology and experience we have developed in the IVI field to expand into the broader SDV domain.

“We also continued to make steady progress under our second growth strategy, DynaPlanet. In line with our multi-year development roadmap, we accelerated research and development activities and advanced the full-scale development of DynaPlanet’s services and platform. We also achieved key milestones, including the commencement of revenue recognition from DynaPlanet-related services during the first half of the fiscal year. Although its contribution to total revenue remains limited at this stage, we believe that the increased investment being made during this development phase is steadily strengthening the foundation for DynaPlanet’s future commercialization and growth.

“Leveraging the strengthened financial position resulting from the completion of our IPO, we will continue to invest in technology and talent and pursue sustainable growth and long-term corporate value creation through these two growth strategies.”

Six Months Ended August 31, 2026 Financial Results

Revenue

Revenue was JPY10,612.7 million (US$66.4 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, an increase of 3.4% from JPY10,261.1 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025.

  • Revenue from software development services was JPY8,395.3 million (US$52.6 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, an increase of JPY333.5 million, or 4.1%, from JPY8,061.8 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025. The increase primarily reflected a JPY319.2 million increase in SDV segment revenue, driven by full-scale development of a higher-value-added successor project for an existing original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) related-party customer following completion of the previous vehicle development project, together with customization work on taxi dispatch systems for taxi operators.
  • Revenue from licensing was JPY1,520.4 million (US$9.5 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, an increase of JPY53.5 million, or 3.6%, from JPY1,466.9 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025. The increase reflected JPY98.1 million in higher location-based service (“LBS”) licensing revenue, driven mainly by newly launched models for an existing customer and partly offset by lower license fees from older OEM vehicle models.
  • Revenue from software-related services was JPY697.0 million (US$4.4 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, a decrease of JPY35.4 million, or 4.8%, from JPY732.4 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue was JPY6,764.8 million (US$42.3 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, a decrease of JPY275.7 million, or 3.9%, from JPY7,040.5 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025. The decrease primarily reflected (i) a JPY347.2 million net reduction in SDV project costs for an existing OEM related-party customer, together with (ii) a JPY30.7 million decline in LBS project costs for older vehicle models and (iii) decreases of JPY56.5 million in SDV project development costs and JPY32.2 million in LBS project development costs following the completion of contract development projects for non-OEM customers. These reductions were partly offset by (i) JPY126.6 million in higher LBS project costs for newly launched models and (ii) a JPY93.2 million increase in share-based compensation expense arising from a one-time, non-cash charge recognized upon completion of the Company’s IPO.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was JPY3,847.9 million (US$24.1 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, an increase of JPY627.4 million, or 19.5%, from JPY3,220.5 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025. Gross profit margin improved by 4.9 percentage points to 36.3% for the six months ended August 31, 2026, from 31.4% for the six months ended August 31, 2025. The margin improvement primarily reflected a favorable shift in the mix of SDV projects toward a more profitable, higher-value-added successor program focused on upstream design and development.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were JPY3,059.2 million (US$19.2 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, an increase of JPY623.5 million, or 25.6%, from JPY2,435.7 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025.

  • Selling, general, and administrative expenses were JPY2,230.0 million (US$14.0 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, an increase of JPY313.5 million, or 16.4%, from JPY1,916.5 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025. The increase primarily reflected a JPY190.5 million increase in share-based compensation expense from a one-time, non-cash IPO-related charge, JPY67.3 million in higher personnel expenses due to headcount growth and higher compensation, and JPY41.2 million in higher outsourcing and professional fees, including JPY19.5 million of one-time IPO expenses.
  • Research and development expenses were JPY829.2 million (US$5.2 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, an increase of JPY310.0 million, or 59.7%, from JPY519.2 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025. The increase primarily reflected higher DynaPlanet-related expenditures as the Company continued service and platform development under its multi-year development roadmap.

Operating Profit

Operating profit was JPY788.7 million (US$4.9 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, an increase of JPY3.8 million, or 0.5%, from JPY784.9 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025. The slight increase primarily reflected higher gross profit, largely offset by JPY292.3 million in one-time, non-cash IPO-related share-based compensation expense and increased research and development spending on DynaPlanet.

Net Income

Net income was JPY612.9 million (US$3.8 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, a decrease of JPY95.9 million, or 13.5%, from JPY708.8 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025. The decrease reflected the absence of the prior-year JPY106.8 million gain on bargain purchase, partly offset by a lower provision for income taxes and a slight increase in operating profit. The lower tax provision primarily reflected reduced pretax income and a greater tax benefit associated with deferred IPO costs.

Net Income Attributable to the Company’s Ordinary Shareholders

Net income attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders was JPY620.0 million (US$3.9 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, a decrease of JPY82.9 million, or 11.8%, from JPY702.9 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025. Net losses attributable to non-controlling interests were JPY7.1 million for the six months ended August 31, 2026, primarily reflecting a loss at Micware North America, Inc., compared with net income of JPY5.9 million attributable to non-controlling interests for the six months ended August 31, 2025.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share were JPY10.68 (US$0.07) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, compared with JPY12.55 for the six months ended August 31, 2025. Diluted earnings per share were JPY9.81 (US$0.06) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, compared with JPY12.55 for the six months ended August 31, 2025.

Financial Condition

As of August 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of JPY10.6 billion (US$66.3 million), compared with JPY8.3 billion as of February 28, 2026.

Net cash provided by operating activities was JPY1.4 billion (US$8.7 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, compared with JPY2.3 billion for the six months ended August 31, 2025.

Net cash used in investing activities was JPY123.9 million (US$0.8 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, compared with JPY438.7 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025.

Net cash provided by financing activities was JPY1.1 billion (US$6.6 million) for the six months ended August 31, 2026, compared with net cash used in financing activities of JPY863.6 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025.

Recent Developments

Following the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 3,277,500 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing one ordinary share, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately JPY4,185.2 million (US$26.2 million) and aggregate net proceeds of approximately JPY3,781.0 million (US$23.7 million). The Company’s ADSs began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on May 14, 2026 under the ticker symbol MWC.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The Company discusses a key financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) to supplement its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis. This non-GAAP financial measure is reconciled from its most directly comparable financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP as follows:

    For the Six Months Ended August 31,  
Amounts are in thousands   2025     2026     2026  
    JPY     JPY     US$  
Operating profit     784,893       788,724       4,937  
Plus: listing-related and transformational expenses(a)     39,954       19,485       122  
Plus: IPO-related share-based compensation expense(b)     -       292,284       1,830  
Adjusted operating profit     824,847       1,100,493       6,889  


(a) Represents listing-related and other transformational expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s IPO and corporate transformation initiatives for the six months ended August 31, 2025 and 2026. These costs were recognized as expenses in the statement of operations and were not recorded as direct deductions from equity.
   
(b) Represents non-cash share-based compensation expense recognized upon the consummation of the Company’s IPO in connection with share option awards that vested upon completion of the IPO. The Company excludes this expense because it resulted from an IPO-specific vesting condition and is not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance.


Adjusted operating profit is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP (referred to as the “non-GAAP financial measure”), and the use of the term adjusted operating profit may differ from similar measures reported by other companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures. The Company believes the non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with useful information with respect to the Company’s historical operations. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measure as a supplemental performance measure because the Company believes it facilitates a comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance relative to the Company’s performance based on the Company’s results under GAAP, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period. Specifically, adjusted operating profit allows the Company to assess the Company’s performance without the impact of the specifically identified items that the Company believes do not directly reflect the Company’s core operations, including non-recurring costs, such as listing-related and transformational expenses, other non-recurring income. The non-GAAP financial measure also functions as key performance indicator used to evaluate the Company’s operating performance internally, and it is used in connection with the determination of incentive compensation for management, including executive officers.

Adjusted operating profit is not a measurement of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to income from operations or any other financial statement data presented as indicators of financial performance or liquidity, each as presented in accordance with GAAP. Consequently, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measure should be considered together with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company understands that although adjusted operating profit is frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, it has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: adjusted operating profit does not fully reflect the Company’s cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; adjusted operating profit does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs; and adjusted operating profit does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt.

Because of these limitations, adjusted operating profit should not be considered as discretionary cash available to the Company to reinvest in the growth of the Company’s business or as a measure of cash that will be available to the Company to meet the Company’s obligations.
