LEIFRAS Co., Ltd. Reports First Half of Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results
Full-year guidance targets revenue growth of approximately 10.8% to 27.9% and operating income growth of approximately 13.2% to 33.9%.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
LEIFRAS (Nasdaq: LFS) reported first-half fiscal 2026 revenue of JPY5,978.8 million, up 8.9% year over year, alongside higher operating income.
For the six months ended June 30, operating income rose 35.9% to JPY92.3 million, and net income increased 43.5% to JPY77.1 million. Basic and diluted earnings per share rose to JPY2.95 from JPY2.16. Sports school revenue grew 5.4%, despite membership falling 0.9%; social business revenue increased 18.0%. Operating cash flow fell to JPY252.7 million from JPY312.8 million a year earlier.
LEIFRAS expects full-year revenue of $82.9 million–$95.7 million and operating income of $4.5 million–$5.4 million, including results from three acquired businesses from specified dates. Cash reached JPY2,591.8 million at June 30, versus JPY2,524.1 million at December 31, 2025. First-half results are unaudited.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

The Company's primary non-GAAP financial measure and corresponding metrics reflect how the Company evaluates the Company's current and prior year operating results. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change. When the Company's definitions change, the Company provides the updated definitions. When items no longer impact the Company's current or future presentation of non-GAAP operating results, the Company removes these items from the Company's non-GAAP definitions.
Adjusted income from operations is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP (collectively referred to as the "non-GAAP financial measures"), and the use of the term adjusted income from operations 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 income from operations 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 acquisition-related costs and other items that management does not consider reflective of the Company's core operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measure also functions as a 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.
As the Company's initial public offering was completed during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and the related listing-related and transformational expenses were specific to the Company's initial public offering and related transformation activities, the Company does not expect to incur such expenses in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 or future periods. Accordingly, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, the Company has revised the Company's presentation of adjusted income from operations and removed listing-related and transformational expenses from the adjustments to adjusted income from operations for all historical periods presented.
Adjusted income from operations 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company understands that although adjusted income from operations 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 income from operations does not fully reflect the Company's cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; adjusted income from operations does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs; adjusted income from operations does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt; and although depreciation and amortization expenses are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted income from operations does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
Because of these limitations, adjusted income from operations 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.

FAQ
AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
What were LEIFRAS's first-half 2026 earnings results?
LEIFRAS reported JPY5,978.8 million in revenue and JPY77.1 million in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026, up 8.9% and 43.5% year over year, respectively. Operating income increased 35.9% to JPY92.3 million. The results are unaudited.
What is LEIFRAS's full-year 2026 financial guidance?
LEIFRAS expects revenue of $82.9 million to $95.7 million and operating income of $4.5 million to $5.4 million for the year ending December 31, 2026. These ranges represent approximately 10.8% to 27.9% revenue growth and approximately 13.2% to 33.9% operating income growth from 2025.
Which acquisitions and assumptions are included in LEIFRAS's 2026 guidance?
The guidance includes results from Well Resources from May 1, 2026, Tokai Sports from June 1, 2026, and SWIFT JAPAN from July 1, 2026. It assumes no further business acquisitions, restructuring activities or legal settlements during the period. Guidance uses US$1 = JPY156.80, a rate the company plans to use throughout fiscal 2026.
How does LEIFRAS calculate adjusted operating income for first-half 2026?
LEIFRAS adds back JPY47,365,619 in acquisition-related costs to GAAP operating income of JPY92,309,685, producing adjusted operating income of JPY139,675,304. The excluded costs include transaction expenses, legal, financial and tax due diligence, integration and other acquisition-related costs. This non-GAAP measure supplements rather than replaces GAAP results.
