LEIFRAS Co., Ltd. reported record fiscal 2025 results, with net revenue of $74.8M, up 13.5% year over year, driven by growth in both its sports school and social businesses. Income from operations rose 20.7% to $4.0M, while adjusted income from operations grew 41.8% to $4.4M, highlighting improved core profitability after excluding listing and transformational costs.
Net income increased to $2.8M, a 4.7% gain. The social business, which manages school club activities and after-school services, expanded revenue by 32.8%, and sports school revenue rose 7.8%. Operating cash flow reached $3.0M, and year-end cash was $16.1M, supporting a solid balance sheet with shareholders’ equity of $11.8M.

Management cites Japan’s club activity reform, which shifts school-based clubs to community and private operators between 2026 and 2031, as a structural tailwind for its social business.
LEIFRAS Co., Ltd., a Japan-based youth sports and social services provider, files its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, outlining its business mix, leverage and key risks. The company operates 13 branded sports schools and a growing “social business” that includes school club support, after-school daycare and elderly care.
Sports schools remain the core, with 53.08% of 2025 revenue from membership fees and 17.39% from events. Social business contributed JPY3,168.3 million (about $20.2 million), or 27.0% of revenue, reflecting its increasing weight. As of December 31, 2025, LEIFRAS had JPY100,000,000 in short-term loans, JPY151,030,000 in current long-term loans, JPY24,422,000 in long-term loans, and in January 2026 issued JPY200,000,000 in unsecured bonds, underscoring substantial indebtedness.
The report highlights dependence on student enrollments, competition in Japan’s fragmented youth sports market, reliance on public contracts for social business, and sensitivity to Japan’s economic conditions, inflation and demographic decline. Operational risks include accidents at facilities, labor rigidity from a full-time coach model, lease and facility access risks, data protection, AI-related uncertainties and material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. Founder and CEO Kiyotaka Ito controls about 50.37% of ordinary shares, concentrating voting power and influencing corporate decisions.
